Celebration + City2Surf

Hi Guys

I thought I'd talk a little bit about staying on track at functions.  

Tonight I had a function at work, now I was panicking because I knew what kind of foods (well to be honest I wouldn't call them food), they served chicken sausages, Jatz, Chips- nibblies you know - party food.  But I took 2 mandarins, 30g of almonds and a WW frozen meal (which I waited til I got home and ate).  I was so proud of myself I stayed in control and never gave in once, not even a Jatz!  I did my celebration dance right there at work.  I was so stoked!!

Then I came home at around 7.30pm and ate my beautiful dinner feeling pretty happy with myself!

My Beautiful Dinner of Fettucine in Green Beans and a Tomato Based Sauce

 The I came home and I had been talking about doing City2Surf for the last 2 years and had talked myself out of.  I'm not sure why, maybe the 14km course just scared the living daylights out of me.  But today something clicked and I have just finished registering for it.  I can't believe I actually registered. I'm locked in now and I have paid my $55 and I am raising money for the Cancer Council.  They do a fantastic job and I need your help to raise money for them.

I'd love for everyone to get involved in the fundraising effort.  Now its time to start doing more running in prep for the event.  But I can't wait to get in there and give it all I have and prove to myself that I can do this!

Goals + Commitments for the Coming Week

Ok, so tomorrow is Monday, which means the start of a new working week and weight loss week (well technically mine starts Saturday morning straight after weigh in)- anyway.  Its time to make a commitment to myself for the coming week.  

1.  Is to track everything I eat and drink and be completely honest with myself.  No matter if I have 50g of chocolate - everything goes in that tracker.  

2.  Be active within the weight loss community, which means being active on the blog on the WW website, be active on the message boards, and also on this blog.  

3.  Make good, positive choices when it comes to food- which means eating food that is beneficial to my weight loss.  

4.  Make a commitment to train 6 days this week.  I have trained Friday morning - after my weigh in - had to weigh in a day earlier this week and did a 7km Bridge to Bridge walk.  Also trained this morning with 40 minutes of laps.  Adding onto this commitment I will give 100% to all my training this week and in the future.  

5.  Attend my meeting next Saturday

6.  Surrounding myself with positive people
