No exercise again.
So after all that food I feel over-full for the second night in a row. It has quietened my cravings. Two nights in a row of that doesn't strike me as healthy though.
I have been a bit less controlled in my eating and feeling much more inclined to eat badly than usual. I'm not eating heaps worse but the idea of eating the sweet things that made me fat was constantly on my mind, both today and yesterday. I do think it is related to being tired still and not properly over my bug. This week I have frequently had the feeling that what I am doing is effortful - that most things seem effortful - because I am weaker than usual. It's a physical thing and it's mental too. Though this is the weekend Saturdays are often exceptionally busy days and today fitted right in to that pattern.
I guess it will pass. I deliberately didn't exercise tonight - the day was too busy and I gave myself another night off. I am hopeful that tomorrow will turn out to be a really good catch up time - for rest and for exercise and that will probably help me feel more normal about food too.
I lost weight today. Well, that may not be true, but I weighed myself on the shopping centre scales and I weighed less than last Saturday. I have just about given up on the scales I bought for my house. I tried weighing myself this morning. 76.1kg first up in the nude. 76.8 after I had eaten breakfast. 77.4 after I had eaten breakfast, with my clothes on. So far so good? Then mid-morning I wanted to weigh again immediately before I went to the shopping centre and weighed there so I could be sure of the difference between these scales and the ones I've been using all this time. 77.4 it says - very cool think I. Are you sure? 77.4 kg. Really though - try again - 77.4. OK. Scales are sure. Five minutes later I try again (WHYYYYYYY!!?) In rapid succession I get 77.9 kg, 77.9, 77.1 kg, 77.1 kg, 77.6, 77.9, 77.6, 77.9. Right say I. I will ask the other scales at the shopping centre.
Why should I care? Can I not just say I weigh 77 kg. Forget the point? Not really, the difference of 0.8 kg is 1.75 lb. If I lost or gained that in a week I would think it deserved some attention...
Anyhow the shopping centre scales said 78.1 kg. I'll take that!!
Also, as the weather is noticeably cool now, I finally went today to buy more clothes to fit my new size. Actually I had been wondering if I was still that size, and whether the smaller trousers I bought before had always been as baggy as they seemed yesterday. And in fact it turns out I am another size down. Aussie size 14 now. Two more sizes would take me back to the size I was as a normal weight young woman. I even bought smaller undies so that I have some that don't wrinkle up under the new trousers! I have only lost around 2 kg since I was excited to fit in to size 16's. I am definitely a 14 though - I tried a lot of things on and that was the size that fitted - in tops as well. Remembering back I thought I would need to be about 70-72 kg for this size - but I'm happy to be wrong about that.

Hi Felici -- hope you feel 100% very soon. That's great you still lost some weight and that your clothes are getting too loose! Yes, being tired definitely does wreak havoc with your food discipline; after all, the same area of the brain responds to sleep and to food, and often doesn't know the difference.

That's so true, Tom. A couple of times late yesterday I was near chocolate (my number 1 problem food) and considering the "just one" idea. I wouldn't say I was massively craving it, but normally I can see, buy, transport and hand over these things without even thinking about eating them. But while I was thinking about it I realized that if I was to eat any, the main thing I wanted to get from it was to sit down to eat while feeling comfortable, happy and relaxed. Only there was no chance of that happening - because if I ate any I would feel uptight and anxious!
I really don't want to go back to the mindset that would allow me to enjoy eating something I have a habit of avoiding, if it was purchased on impulse when I was hungry and tired. I can too easily imagine the struggle I could end up with afterwards. I know you have your regular dose - which is another thing entirely.

oooOOOooo, good job on the problem prevention!
I'm glad to hear you are having fun and getting lots of exercise with your new scales, and even getting that mental workout while you do all the math
Sleep problems... I'm a real strange one when I wake up; I wake up and get moving just fine, but then crash a couple of hours later and am incredibly tired. I will often nap a few hours into the day if I don't have anything pressing to do; it's really strange.
Caffeine doesn't really seem to help either, even in large doses. I am wondering if it is a blood sugar problem or if I really am just that bored by that time.
Congrats on your new undies!

In general: ROFL.
I spared you all the detailed OMG these bloody scales and my bloody cottonwool no memory brain, post I keyed. Hard as this may be to believe, both this diary and yours got the short version!!
Sleep problems: Both your ideas sound plausible - or maybe you just didn't get enough sleep in the first place?. If it was me, it would probably be alcohol related ... as far as I can remember.
I love the snug undies!! Thanks.

Hey felici-
Thanks for stopping by my diary.
Regarding the scale issue...you really have two choices if you're going to continue to use your scale at home. If you are going to step on it multiple times, you need to decide whether you're going to believe the high number or the low number, and then consistently use either the high or low. That way, you'll see your trend (which is really the only important thing). For me, I use the lighter number...it's simply better for my state of mind. And, I have seen that lighter number become even lighter, so that's all that I need. Hell, the scale did register that number for some reason. Also, just weigh yourself in the morning, first thing, in the nude (it's the only way to be consistent).
And, I've noticed all this talk about sleep. There aren't too many people out there over the age of 12 who would say that they feel perfectly awake and energetic all the time. So, yes, fatigue and sleep problems are a huge issue in this world...especially when we're all pushing ourselves to do so much in one day. One of the first things we'll tell patients to do when they complain of fatigue or sleep problems is to start a sleep diary. Write down what time you go to sleep and wake up each day. Note whether you've napped. Note caffiene and alcohol intake. Before long, you'll recognize what patterns are problematic for yourself. And, we all know you can keep a diary.....
Talk to you soon.

Morning Feli!! How ya doing sweetheart?? I hope your getting some rest this weekend. I want to give you a HUGE PAT ON THE BACK for getting into that smaller size you are so lucky, I can't wait to go buy something new and SMALLER. HECK YA!! Your amazing and I think you are on the right track. And don't stress over the no workout for a few days, we all get into those slumps now and then, but you'll bounce back into exercise when your body is ready. How long did you say you've had this sleep problem?? Girlfriend are you under a lot of unnecessary pressure and stress?? Is it that you just can't shut down at night?? I had insomnia back 10 years ago, it jacked me up!! I was so afraid that if I fell asleep, I wouldn't wake up, honestly it scared the living bahoo out of me, it lasted 30 days, my body was a wreck, it hurt all the time. And finally when I got away from that stress in my life, it all started going away, I started sleeping again, my headaches went away and my body started to feel better. I'm just saying stress and pressure of our surroundings can really jack us up!! so I was just curious if you have any unwanted tension or stresses in your life currently. I'll be thinking about ya!! Try and have a good rest of your weekend.

OK. From now on, I am doing the morning only thing. If I just do one weigh and don't try to compare it to the old sets of figures I might even remember what it was, all the way from the scales to the computer.hehe i agree about scales - arg i limit myself to 2 weigh ins max.
One in the morning first up nude (or jammies)
and sometimes in the evening .. but thats not every day
What a lovely thing to say.el-lo matey
I hope today was a fun day
I had a gorgeous day thanks. I went out with my husband and daughter, and one of the girl's friends to King's Park. It was raining a little when we left home, but cleared into a bright, warm afternoon. Lately whenever I've been up there I've been to the DNA tower to climb steps but today we just went on a long ramble along the top of the hill. There are beautiful views down over the rivers, and the city, all the way to the Darling Scarp on the horizon. We walked down to the river level in one place and back up again; past a memorial service for the Greek and Aussie soldiers in Crete, through two groups of people assembling for weddings, along the Treetop walk, around the Pioneer Women's Memorial fountain and then the others went and got milkshakes while I visited an upmarket souvenir shop that was half art gallery and had me open mouthed. The recent rains have started little green shoots everywhere and the earliest winter bush plants had started flowering. Down near the river an avenue of deciduous trees had dropped a thick carpet of leaves - a rare sight for me. We did a quick stop at the DNA tower - I ran up it feeling good - still only to about half way. I could do with putting some more stair climbing back in my week. It's time to do a bit more of effortful exercise - the kind where I feel good when it's over I think. The walk was a nice combination of exercise and pleasure.

You're absolutely right about the scales. I will pick the light weight.
I remember now that's what I used to do in past years. I was doing a lot more because I would have liked to be able to get a fix on how to compare the two sets of scales - but maybe that's not too important. I might just keep two sets of figures, both sets should tell me something useful.As far as my sleep goes. I know exactly why I was so tired.
I like to stay up late, I usually have to get up early, and as I indulged myself, I didn't get enough sleep. I just pushed the boundaries of what I could get away with too far. In recent weeks I'd managed to do this a bit. However, then I got sick, worked more than usual, and still tried to do with too little sleep.Thanks. Lots of sleep catch up today. I am really happy about the clothes size too. I actually wore clothes that fit to walk with my family today. Usually I just wear them for work, and not always then either.Morning Feli!!

I don't have insomnia. I really feel for people like yourself, who have suffered, or do suffer from it. I have had the odd occasion and it's usually been related to stress as you say. I'm afraid my recent tiredness has been at least partly self inflicted. And on that note, I'm going to run away again off this forum. I hope I haven't missed any major events in other people's diaries.

hey felici sorry i've been away lately. when spring hits i'm nowhere to be found lol.
that park just looks amazing. i think i wanna move down there it looks so beautiful.
your food looks really yummy there. and as for being low on calories...i tend to really mix having few days higher and few days lower. i'm trying to listen to what my body wants and shut out that evil voice that just wants hehe.

To my way of thinking, if you're making the most of the spring outside then that's absolutely the right thing to do.hey felici

The park is beautiful and I'm glad to be fit enough and active enough to enjoy that and a lot of other great places that I live near. I didn't spend enough time enjoying them while my weight was slowing me down and I want to make the most of them now.
I also definitely mix up higher and lower days without thinking too much about it except thinking that it's probably a good way to be, rather than a problem. Of course I was pretty much guessing how the calories would work out most of the time but I think my guesses were pretty much the same as the figures I'm getting now.
I liked the pics. I think they're an accurate reflexion of what the park is like. I don't honestly know what Australia is like to visit. I know it's far away from most other places. However I know it's good to live where I am and the beaches and nearby Rottnest Island definitely look like they came out of travel brochures.Those pics are beautiful!!! One day I wanna make it over that way
