This weekend we had my brother J's 21st birthday, and what an event it was! 180 people 15 hours sleep! I
over to hang out, have dinner and celebrate. It was heaps of fun and we really enjoyed it, and it was a good change to put some funny memories (like the time he though hairspray was deodorant, lol) - it meant some late nights though - we left sat night at 2am, and the night before were up with D's parents and friend H making ricepaper rolls til after 12:30am! Through in an engagement party on Saturday daytime, setting up at church (from 9am!) on Sunday and a book club hosted at our place on Sunday at 1pm, we had a busy weekend!! Still, it was a lot of fun, and now I've had a long long sleep, I feel refreshed :DBut, in all the busyness, I just tried to eat ok-ish, and didn't fit in any runs, and probably blew the eating. Not a binge or anything like that, just lots of food all
weekend. Still, for the weekend it was, it could have been worse! Yesterday the scales at home said 86.5 (noooooo!! back again!) but today they're on 85.7, and I'm hoping they'll go down some more soon! I don't know if anyone else has found this (or if it's too much info for this blog), but food just doesn't pass through me much on ww - even though I'm eating lots still, and I'm drinking heaps of water, lots of whole grains, fruits and vegies, dairy, even metamucil. Even with exercise. So we dropped into a chemist yesterday and hopefully will clear that up soon. Lol, D reckons the weight gain is just build up inside, accounting for the 200g a day or so build up! I hope he's right - that would mean a good loss if this stuff I got works! I'd like to know if I'm the only one experiencing this, but it's not the sort of thing you can just ask someone! So if anyone reads this and feels game to comment - I'm listenning.In other news - I did a week 3 c25k run today! And it wasn't too hard!! I didn't quite get through the second (and last) 3 minute run, but the first one I really focused on my form and I think I did pretty well. By the end of the official run, I was out of the park and over the bridge - which is pretty good I think! I'd like to get around the corner by the end of the week. Then I did my cool down, warm up and started again! I thought I'd really flake during the 3rd 3 minute run, (ie the first 3min run after restarting) but then I just made myself go until my cool down starting place. Yay! So I'm feeling a bit back on track which is good.
Although I realised, cause I did the Robert Ullruy podcast first, then went to the christian podcast for starting a new, and there's something that makes me run slower about a track that sings "my pillow is deep, the blankets warm and my bed is soft... i can think of a hundred million reasons not to get up today"!! Lol, when running after half an hour of already doing running it makes the idea of stopping for a nap very tempting! haha
This week is about getting back on track - it won't be easy, there's an ETC meeting tonight, Bible Study tomorrow, ETC Thurs - Mon and India dinner on Monday night!! But it'll just have to be ok - I'm really really ready to lose some serious numbers, and I know I'm getting a bit fitter, I can feel it in my clothes and I saw it last week with the cm's going down.
Speaking of which, I have a question - I don't know whether to add photos to this blog. So far I've tried to keep it pretty anonymous, no pictures, real names, addresses, etc. But then I find it so encouraging when I see other people's blogs with pictures, and see them actually getting smaller. Any bloggers reading this who want to let me know how you deal with this tension between internet safety and photo posting, I'd love to hear what you think.

hahaha.... i can relate to issues with "the cr*pper" while dieting!!!
It actually got so bad once that i tried Senokot.... BIG MISTAKE!!! i had diarrhoea for a week and couldn't go out anywhere... lol.
I guess just make sure your diet stays about the same everyday. Any sudden change in diet will make your gut go a bit haywire - you seem to be drinkign plenty of water and roughage, so that doesn't seem to be a the problem. I think that your body does tend to hang on to food for a bit longer when you are 'dieting' - especially if you are on a low carb/ high protein diet (though i'm guessing your not on that!)!
I guess just try and keep eating roughly the same types and amounts of things everyday, and your body should get used to it!

15 hours, oh my goodness! Did you feel super refreshed after you woke up?
Tha party sounds fun. My mum used fly spray instead of hair spray once lol
Ok, I gotta say, you made me lol. I wrote that song about the Lazy Man, and did the C25K podcast you're jamming to.
I *think* I put that song on the 'warm-up walk' but I never really thought about the fact that it would be so motivating. (Or rather, DE-motivating!)
Thanks for the grin!
