the after-Christmas weigh day
Oh yeah. It all happened yesterday. A check up with the lap-band doc and weigh in day at Curves. Considering my diet over Christmas had included quite a lot of the brown food group (particularly chocolate) I wasn’t really looking forward to the raw honesty of stepping on the scales. But it had to be done. I didn’t go under the knife just for the fun of it.
My doctor’s appointment was first. I haven’t been to see him for a couple of months so I thought, you know, maaaybe I could get away with it. Stood on those scales and found that I had done rather well. I was surprised and very happy to see more than a kilo gone. The doc is very happy with my progress too and there were no adjustments to my band. It’s doing what it was put there to do and we’ll just keep the status quo for now.
Curves was going to be more of a challenge. I get weighed there every month and between stepping on the scales and last month there had been a lot of gingerbread. And chocolate. And maple syrup lollies. And chocolate coins. And mince pies. Not good. I know. Not good. But I needed the head up, the punishment, the realisation that it’s 2010 now and time to get back on the ol’ treadmill.
Turns out I’d lost weight. Yeah. Sooooo happy. Only .4 of a kg, not something to crow about? But this was .4 of a kg lost over Christmas. Impressive, really.
In fact, I think I deserve a star for my effort.

Great to see you Madam feathers and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair.
Right the *(*(* ON!
It looks fantastic – an instant modern chick.
What’s new on the writing front?
Happy New Year!

I have the same love-hate relationship and very similar hair to yours. Every hairdresser ever has said the same thing, “You have a lot of hair!”…like I had never looked in a mirror. now it is almost to my shoulders and I used one of those drug store straightener kits and it sort of worked but I still have witchy hair. When I am feeling fat and witchy the hair DOES NOT help.
K, so, kudos for holding the line over xmas! In the face of the sheer mass of food related to the holidays that is fantastic.
WOW, great job on the Curves wt loss!
400 grams lost over xmas is AMAZING!!!!
Aw, thanks for that. I was really happy too.
LOL witchy hair, that’s me. A hairdresser tried to straighten it for me. It went straight all right, it stuck straight out. Looked worse than ever. I think that was its revenge for me trying to take control. All it can do to get me back now is grow.
Thanks Annie. Glad you like the hair. It feels great, although we had a couple of cold days over the weekend and I had to resort to putting a warm hat on lol. Not a lot of writing going on at the moment, but I am doing some research and some rewriting, so I guess it’s getting slightly better. Doing my blog is helping to get me more into the writing mood.
