Count down to return to work

First the good news - lost 1 kg this week and I am thrilled. So 2 weeks back at WW and I am down 3.8kg - a great start and very inspiring as it makes you want to keep going. However, I have done NO exercise at all and so pretty amazing that I lost this weight!

I actually feel thinner, which is ridiculous, but I may even start to walk now as I know this will help a great deal. I'll report on how I went later. I am investigating a pedometer - the WW is quite expensive and have read about Omron HJ113 - which you can wear around your neck, in your pocket or even a handbag! I have used waist-clip ones before and not very accurate as I think the hip area either jiggled too much, or perhaps not enough hip movement to register all steps...still investigating this one.

I am a secondary school teacher, in the outer eastern 'burbs of Melbourne, so we (staff) return to work on Tuesday and the kids start Friday. The first 2 days of our staff return are being held at an external venue, with all catering supplied ...so today I have organised to have a lo-fat meal, and I can therefore avoid the usual stodge of fried things and other things re-fried! This is a first for me - normally I'd go "what the hell" and bog in at the trough with every one else.

NOT THIS TIME...oh no..this little piggy wants to keep losing weight..so I will join the Coeliac suffers who always get salad as their 'punishment' for not being able to eat wheat - those poor people - and I can be virtuous and still eat within my points range.

Now I have to think about looking at material for this years senior classes and get myself organised - even after 25 years of teaching, I still need to review, improve and try and make lessons more hands on and student led. So that's the rest of the day planned

Have a great day all - and for the WWs amongst you - have a BRILLIANT day tomorrow...and the next...and the next...

cheers
