Thought I would make the most of the peace and quiet in the house to do a wee update. Stephan has taken Rachel around to his Mum's place to drop off a couple of things to her and to give me some peace and quiet.... I decided to do the housework instead which I had been nagging at Stephan to do all weekend! So now I am paying for it by lots and lots of coughing.... Oh if you hadn't seen on Facebook, I have been crook the last few days - started as tickle in the throat, developed into a full on head cold which has now moved to the chest with a very phlegmy(?) cough. I have had a couple of days off work and hope to be back on deck tomorrow.
The one good thing about this cold, is the about of water I have been drinking - HEAPS!!! I did jump on the scales this morning before I got in the shower and they were down approx 2.2 kilos from last Wednesday!!! I was rather shocked at the numbers on display and checked it 3 times and each time came up with the same number! Fingers crossed that I get a good result on Wednesday then!
I decided to register with MFP (My Fitness Pal) which is an online site which you register all your details (weight, height, age, gender, your goal weight etc) and it gives the total calories that you are allowed per day, then you enter what food you eat each day and it keeps tabs of everything. I did it for 3 days but it's not really my style! Like Lynda has said many a time, the low carb/Paleo eating style is the best as there is NO counting of ANYTHING! And to me that is fantastic as I am such a useless recorder/counter! LOL Though on saying that I do know a few ladies (and a couple of guys) that are doing really well using MFP so it is right for some but not for others.... and I guess the thing is that will those that are doing really well actually keep the weight off? I do hope so!!!
Haven't been able to get a book on CSIRO (refer last entry)at a good price on Trade Me as yet but am currently watching 2 auctions so hopefully I will get one of those ones... though also need to wait till closer to payday as funds are a bit tight until then.
Right, gonna put the laptop down and close my eyes for a wee while before my peace and quiet is shattered.... would love to think that they will be another hr or so yet but anything is possible :)

I have used MFP to count carbs occasionally - it is also interesting to track the odd day to see how many calories you are actually eating while doing low carb. You will be surprised at how low the calories are without suffering the hunger you'd get from a purely low calorie diet. I still maintain that saying no to wheat is the easiest thing - and sugar of course if that is your thing.
I just came across your blog via another one. I know the struggles with weight having had a weight problem all my adult life (I'm now 46) so relate to your blog. I also believe in karma and things happening for a reason so believe I was meant to visit here today. I have a spare copy of the CSIRO book which you are welcome to for the cost of postage only. Anna
