Two-week blitz!
My challenge is to be a weight-loss angel for the two weeks I have left before I join AJ Rochester's Healthy Body Club... I want to prove to myself that I can do it!

Hello strangers!
It's not cos I don't love you all that I haven't updated... lol... I've still been reading your blogs :) Just had a particularly crazy-go-nuts week in my hecticly mad life!
Got to sleep in this morning... finally... I must have slept through Miles leaving for work too because he was gone when I woke up.
I'm doing a terribly good job of maintaining my weight... lol... which I guess I should be proud of considering the busy fortnight I've had. Haven't blown out and eaten anything I shouldn't have... just eaten a bit too much 'good' food I guess. Might register a tiny loss on Monday... we'll see. (If I don't update my sidebar you can assume I stayed the same... lol!)
The Healthy Body Club is *finally* swinging into action... I'm excited, petrified and totally worried all at the same time! I feel a bit like a guinea pig but I'm still glad I'm in the first ever 'batch' of HBCers... the time is right for me and I'm raring to go! Going out today to buy a calorie counter, so that I can work the food I like into AJs menu plans... I'm really excited about the fact that I'll be approaching this from a different angle (ie I'll be counting kilojoules rather than points)... I have a feeling my points estimations might have 'slipped' a bit during my many years on WW, so my food intake will be much more on track now that I have to work everything out from scratch. I need to put everything I eat and every bit of exercise I do into my online trackers, cos AJ does surprise checks of these just to make sure we're all on track... brilliant way to make sure I actually DO it!
The other girls in the club seem really friendly... actually I discovered a girl from my work has joined, too! She's about my age and I think it'll be fun to have her as a HBC buddy. About five of us are meeting up tomorrow morn for a walk around Albert Park Lake... can't wait to meet everyone, hopefully it'll give me a fresh dose of motivation!
I'm planning to sit down with my kilojoule counter today and work out a weekly menu/exercise plan based on my week 1 HBC menu... I'll PDF it at work on Tuesday so y'all can have a look! :wink: I'm going to be so gung ho starting Monday... no more extra handfuls of popcorn from the popcorn bag, no little nibbles of Miles' leftovers. I want to be as close to perfect as I can for the week so I can see what my body can do. It's going to be pretty stressy at work this week, and the public holiday on Monday is not ideal (I have to do lots of studying on Mon which often leads me to boredom snacking)... so I'll have to be well-prepared with my meal plan and have point-free snacks here to munch on. But I reckon I can do it. I just need to take it one day/week at a time.
Well, I'll update again on Monday to let you all know how HBC day 1 is going... can't wait!!
ps. Huge congratties to Phill for losing 1.5kgs in two weeks! WOOHOO!
