Well, haven't been on here due to my diet messed up for 4 days - was unwell, and therefore unable to really be self disciplined in terms of food/exercise - my only efforts directed towards getting over my flu.
Hence, diet went straight out the window.
I've been eating shameful stuff like blueberry cheescake, honey roasted nuts, and cheese and pickle and all sorts. Really not on, really not on at ALL.
Last night as I was tucking into that blasted cheesecake I thought 'do you realise what you're doing? you're undoing all your had work you've managed to maintain so far - you muppet' . And secondly i thought 'why the heck are you keeping things like cheesecake in your fridge?
Plus I didn't work out (cos of being unwell) - so ended up having 4 Rest Days!! shameful.
*Sigh*.. I guess we all fall off the wagon. It's just willpower, strength and motivation that will get me back on track.
I didn't even weigh myself on Weigh-In day (Monday 16th) as I'm too darn scared to get on those scales.
Feel like such a failure. But i'm not going to let some wretched flu completely wreck my hard work and give up -- I'm stronger than that. I KNOW I am stronger than that.
FOOD TODAY and for the past 4 days:
Not worth writing about, have fallen off diet wagon and eating all the wrong things.
At least I managed to get my sh*t together and work out; I'm feeling slightly better and exercise will make me feel a lot more 'back to normal' after my being ill. I need those endorphins and to work those muscles, otherwise I am a complete & UTTER zombie, stiff as a board, and feel like death warmed up.
WORKOUT TODAY:
Slim in Six Ramp it Up + Slim in Six Slim & Limber
Couldn't do Burn It up DVD, cos I'm still a bit weak and fuzzy and need to build my strength back up since although I'm feeling better I'm not quite 100% back to normal so I'm taking it easy.
Sorry have not had a chance to log in over this week, so haven't had a chance to thank all you guys who popped round and said hi -- so thanks lots Justina, MrVee, MysticRealm, MaryannC, Vince Vega.
Thanks for your support and encouragement.

ohhh being sick sucks...what a buzz kill. I'm sure you havn't undone ALL of your hard work, but time to get back on the wagon!
By the sounds of it your a pretty motivated individual so I'm sure you'll bust ur a$$ until you've made up for it. Don't be too hard on yourself!

Thanks Vince (and thanks for popping in)
Yeah that was a real buzz killer. Wretched flu, messed me up, I was totally on a roll for a minute there.
I weighed myself today and I was 62.3 kg which means I HAVE PUT 2 POUNDS BACK ON. That's the 1 KILO I bust my ass to lose last week - and all for nothing. I just love busting my ass for nothing, feels great.
Today I was back on track with 1,200 calories and 1 hour aerobic/sculpting workout.
Anyway I hate myself and feel like a total loser.

Well don't hate yourself. Save that for people who deserve it, like people who talk loud in movie theaters.
Emotional eating is hard, and I think it might be worse for women than men. Don't beat yourself up over it though, unless you literally start beating yourself up, because that might actually be a good aerobic workout and burn a bunch of calories. Of course that's still not good, so rather you should beat someone else up, like people who talk loud in movie theaters. Wait what were we talking about again?

Still hanging in there...
Since my last entry (18 Jan) I've managed to stick religiously to food & exercise plan and this morning weighed myself and was delighted to see I've lost that 2 pounds I had stupidly put back on. So i'm back down to 61.4 kg
Phew! Now let's try not to screw THAT up again.
My food over last few days (18, 19, 20, 21 Jan) has been either my Chicken Breast Dinner or my Veggie Burger dinner (full details noted ad nauseum throughout my diary for anyone who's even remotely interested), and total cals for the day always averaging 1200.
EXERCISE update
20 Jan 2013: Slim in 6 Burn It Up (55 mins) & Slim in 6 Slim & Limber (15 mins)
21 Jan 2013: Slim in 6 Burn It Up (55 mins) & Slim in 6 Slim & Limber (15 mins)
MrVee - thanks for stopping by and cheering me up. Your posts always crack me up. I hate loud people in cinemas too, so I reck you are right,
they deserve more punishment than just lil ol' me for falling off the diet wagon.
Justina - thanks for the encouragement and yep, you are right -- I can and was able to start again where I left off .. although it was damn difficult and I was very very tempted to just give up on the whole thing and just sit here on my sofa and eat for the rest of my life and ... but that won't work.
My weight impacts negatively on so many aspects of my life (including my job) and on my own self-image and how positively I see myself, that I cannot afford to let slip like I did when I had flu so I am being EXTRA vigilant on my diet and watching myself like a hawk.
Any morsel that passes these lips goes straight onto FitnessPal, and then I have nowhere to hide or any room for self-delusion and under-estimation of calories, as it's all there in front of me.
So......Onwards we go.
Ooh I can change my ticker again, cool. Everything back to normal.

Glad to see you're doing so well! Good job losing that couple pounds you put on. I am also working on losing some weight I put on from our 2.5 weeks of Christmas/Birthdays. Should be able to be back there by next week.

Hey I can totally relate - thinking about your life/opportunities etc at your target weight can totally motivate you though!!!
You are doing great! Keep up the good spirit!
