10 Kg to go! - I can do it!

I am a bit upset with myself because yesterday I bought the Philadelphia made with chocolate milk. On a side I am happy because it satisfies my craving for chocolate without adding the super extra calories (how much I dremt of bread with nutella? With it I have the same exact result). On the other hand it is not exactly super healthy. I promise this is the first and last can I buy.
Then yesterday I was working so hard to my research I did not even notice it was 11 in the night when I was done and could not go out for running anymore. :(

No, being depressed doesn't help. Today I will do better!! Much better!!

Hello guys. It is very hard to keep track of what is going on in my life now that the daily working routine has started again.
But I will try my best.
For the counting calories I have decided to not do it anymore, as I don't think there is anypoint anymore. I mean, Eating at the uni makes me impossible to estabilish how many calories I am eating at lunch. But keep the healthy balanced plate standard (half of salad, a quoter of carbs and the rest of proteins) will be my goal for lunches. As for dinners I will keep it the lightest I can.
Also keeping up with the workouts is challenging because I am busy morning and evenings getting hope basically everyday at about 9. But I will do it, I just need to get organized and focused!!

One of the biggest challenges for me is to stay social while eating healthy. I know, it may sound funny, but to me it is so hard to say to people that I am eating healthy and trying to lose weight. In a way it's like admiting I have a problem with my body and... I dont want to give that picture to people.
Well, today I went to eat with my workmates and decided for a chinese buffet. I tried to behave and had a huge amount of salad, then some rice, 1 spring roll and 1 piece of fried chicken and some spiced beef. I did not go for a second round and I felt really in control of my appetite. But at the end they were serving also desserts included in the prize. So I had a small slice of strawberry cheesecake with chocolate. It was not too big actually, but I still got very guilty. So I left for a longer bike trip.
I feel guilty because workout-wise I am not doing much. Just going to places by bike.
Tomorrow I will do the StarCloud challenge in the morning (I wanted to do it on monday... but I have been very busy the past two days).
Well... I will succeed on the project. I know that, just gotta be pacient and persistent.

Very common for me. In my case it's the beers that are the problem. There's no such thing as calorie free alcohol, and replacing your meals with beers is a very bad idea. So it's always a struggle when out with my friends.

My advice is to do the best you can and move onto the next day.

I completely relate to this. I just warn people ahead of time I'm not drinking. B/c I'm not. I've actually stopped eating processed sugar since early Aug. Don't have an endgame in sight, just trying to re-set my palate & appreciate the true sweetness in fruits, try new flavors, mature a little by not having a bowl of cereal as a crutch when I'm too lazy to cook.
Went on 4 dates Labor Day weekend and all but one wanted to go out for drinks/dinner...happy hour etc. I sipped my unsweetened iced tea & said I was on a sugar cleanse. I hate how that makes me sound (ridiculous) but I figure I judge myself more harshly than anyone else will. If they can't be cool w/ my food choices then... we can't be cool. They can suck it. :)
Once the weather cools down a bit, I try to do more active socializing: hiking, mini golf, ultimate frisbee (or any co-ed team stuff)... It's just too hot here atm.
 
Thank you for your support. If feels nice to know other people face my same challenge when it comes to social situations and stay healthy. I know I behaved well with the main dish, but I still so guilty with the cake. Probably I should just let it go and think about today.

Today I felt I really behaved well. By the book!!
I really hope tomorrow I can see a number starting with 5 on that scale!!
 
My husband wanted to get a treat to himself tonight.. I said "no".
Then he convinced me, we cycled to the closest shop. He got an icecream and I got...
...
...
a big kiss. Much sweeter and better! :) So proud of myself.
Now it's time for an hot tea after the being in the cold... and a warm blanket curlied up on the sofa. I love fall!!
 
Ah, you thought you got rid of me, but you were wrong.
I had a simply intense weekend... which involved some cake and celebration. Because i had more cake than I should have I got a bit upset and was ashemed on coming here. Now i am back on track. This week I am going to be really strickt with myself.
It's insane how was easy to lose the 5 kilos in one month and now to lose one... it's simply getting forever. And I know that the first kilos are the faster ones to leave, but I have to admit that I did have a lot of "exceptions" since I got to 60 Kg.
So, this week is going to be intense. I promise you!! :)
 
Hello little_star! You have already lost 8.8 kg so you can and will lose weight. Sometimes it is a hurdle to get over that number you really want.
Sit back (not literally:D) don't stress, keep doing what you are doing and it will melt off!! xx
 
I am kinda of depressed! I got a bad feedback and the thing is that I cannot really do anything about it, because it's something I cannot change. This caused me so much stress today I basically came back home after work and crushed on the sofa for many hours. I feel so demotivated. I know this is not related to weight loss, but still. Today I ate so little I had headhach all the day long. Now I am feeling kinda better. But I need my evening tea, my comfy pijama and a warm blanket.
Thank god the day is almost over.

@CloudyMuffin: Thank you. I think in general it is not a good period.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, we reached it!! 59.9!!!
I know, it is not a stable 59, but at least I saw a number starting with 5 today! YES!!!
The goal for the end of the week is to stay there!!! I don't aim to lose anything else for this week, but I is an achievement if it stays on the 59.9.
My september goal is to see maybe a 59.0? Yes, I can definitelly do it!! :) I am strong and determinated!
 
Oh, and by the way, I wanted to inform you with also not-so-clear improvement i have seen while losing the past 9 kilos (wow, cannot believe I REALLY lost so much). You should know I love going shopping, but I cannot do it often. It's not for the money (ok, a bit also for the money), but I really miss the time. Usually I am so busy I feel I should be doing something productive instead of going shopping. And an other problem I have is that, even if I would actually go shopping, I end up window shopping without buying anything. Yes :p I cannot concentrate on what I need, I just jump from one shelf to an other thinking "ohh, that's cute... and also that is cute" and at the end I don't buy anything. I really have to focus to buy something.
Well, to keep it short, I mostly wore the same clothes for the past year. I have a lot of them, so I change a lot still, but they are all from the "65-69 kilos" period. Probably the most are from the 65 kg perios because when I hit the 69 they started to be a bit too tight. Anyway... I have notived a huge difference with jeans and trousers. I HAVE to wear now with a belt otherwise they fall off, literally. And the shirts start to be a bit baggy. I was using my webcome yesterday and I noticed you can even see the clavicle bone clearly. I know I still have a long way ahead of me, but it feels nice to notice these small changes. :)
9 done, 9 to go!! I can do this!
 
I have started to change my life on 15th July. This is going to be a 1 year challenge, 365 days. In one year I don't only want to lose weight, but I want to learn how to leave a more balanced life!! Be a better and more positive person.
 
Yesterday I had a pizza, but I ordered it with rye base in stead that normal. On the top I had shrimps, ham, mushrooms and tuna. So basically only the cheese was "bad". Anyway I had a very light lunch, so i guess it is ok.
Today my weight is 59.7, so I guess it is ok.
I really hope I can get to 58.something by the end of the month. It would be amazing! :)
 
I am so tired of going up and down. Today I am again 60.:( During stress times I really cannto keep my mouth shut. I had a bing yesterday... I really am better than this. Why can't I change?
