Today I'm off for a nice reward. I'm going to sacred hearts tattoo in Vancouver to get my long awaited tattoo. This will be my longest and biggest tattoo thus far.
I have to admit I'm a little freaked out for the 4 hours of constant pain I'll be in but in the long run it's going to be so worth it.
Wish me luck!!!

Merry Christmas to Me!!
4 weeks in and I am down 12.8 lbs. Not bad if I say so myself. I had goals of getting my 5% for today and I really didn't think I'd get it. Not only did I get it, I rocked it. So Merry Christmas Eve to me.
I feel like a new me is actually emerging. A thinner version.
Wish me luck this next week. Weigh in is over a week away so I have to really be good.

The Goal
Might seem silly but I want to be at my 5% (10lbs) goal by Christmas Eve. At this rate I have almost 2 lbs to lose in 4 days. We have weigh in at 9:30am and we'll see what I can do. Good things is, I have a nasty cold and I am so not hungry. Let's see how long that lasts.
Wish me luck.
Wish me luck.

Week 3
Ok so weigh in Saturday was not as good as I hoped. Mind you I was still down over a pound but not the 3 I was hoping for.
I think the Keg dinner definitely had something to do with it. Even though what I ate, still was in my points, it just felt wrong.
I ended up eating the balsamic glazed chicken and the tempura snap peas and asparagus and it was delicious. But fattening. I felt so bad after eating it. Why? I don't know. Maybe lack of control even though I did control it all. I don't know. But it was a mess.
After the dinner we went back to the in laws with all our friends and it was such a fun night.
A fun night with liquor.
And I was bad.
Real bad.
But I had a wonderful time and all in all I still lost the next morning at weigh in. After that night, the fact I came home at 3am and woke up again at 7am to make sure I got to early weigh in makes me so happy.
I wad responsible and accountable.
Huge things for me.
Now after that... I'm sick and on the couch. Found a new app to be able to blog from abroad and I'm glad I did.
Here's my view.

The Keg
Once a year I go to the Keg for my husbands company dinner and I love it. Tonight is the night. I usually go and have some drinks, appies, salad and then my meal.
Tonight, I have to change everything.
The whole purpose of me loving and going to the Keg is because I get to have my filet mignon with Bearnaise sauce, a Caesar salad and an appetizer.
Tonight, I trade it for chicken and just the appetizer.
Tonight will not be the same but tomorrow when I got for my weigh in, I will be thankful that I did what I did in order to stay in control.
If I was to eat everything I normally would tonight, my points would be at 40 for the dinner. Not the day, just the dinner. Gross right? Changing everything, gets me back down to 26 points. Again that is for only the dinner. And why 26 points? Because I refuse to give up my appetizer which is probably the worst thing ever. That is as RIDICULOUS as it gets. I'm hungry now. I have been eating 0 point soup all day just for this stupid dinner, I have a headache and I want to BINGE. But seriously, if i cannot go and have at least one thing I really want, what's the point in going at all.
I want that steak, I want that Bearnaise, I want the Caesar salad. I want the twice baked potato. I want it all.
But I won't.

I Love To Eat
I love to eat and I miss it. 3 weeks ago I started weight watchers and I am really happy about that but I do miss eating without thinking.
Binging.
Binging was my thing. I just wasn't good enough to purge after.
So here I am. I guess as time goes on I'll learn to manage things better and maybe I won't miss it so much, but right now... It's hard.
What brought me to this big change you might ask? Well I'm fat. It's as simple as that.
I am lazy
I'm fat
and I have no energy.
My job is also a huge factor. I spend my days making people look beautiful and gorgeous and stunning. It's like if your hairdresser has bad hair, you'd think twice about getting your hair done right? Well I'm a photographer specializing in taking the ordinary person and making them extraordinary. If they see me as someone who takes no pride in themselves, then how can they?
So I'm done. And I am losing, and I feel great.
But I do miss my food.
Alot.
