Right now I am all bloated up and weigh in yesterday was at 175.6lbs i.e. 79kg, ouch!!! All clothes feels so snugly and I cannot explain if it is TOM but trust me I have been eating as if food is going out of fashion. Program is still feeling hot in church and the turn up by member had been great. It's really taking a toll on GO and I cannot wait for it to be over. I am also happy he will soon be on his annual leave, it is a much needed rest. No exercise + bad food = bloating and gas. You can see why I can never do without working out whether there is weight loss or not, I just must do it. It is vital for my existence now.

Here is Z's Transformational Tuesday post about making SMART goals: Today we're talking SMART goals. Have you set any for the next 12 weeks? Are you including goals that relate to what's important in your life, not just food & fitness? Are your goals in writing? To set yourself up for success, check if they are: Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Timely SPECIFIC You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions: WHO: Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal (including yourself)?

If you into weight-loss, is there anytime this happens to you? lol, that happens to me a lot of time after working so hard, counting even the calories in water and voila not 1lb gain, not 2 but 4lbs. A whole 4 lbs. This had been happening to me since 2 years now, meaning...

Chris Downie (founder of Sparkpeople.com) is the father of streaks. That was the secret of Sparkpeople as a site. Now if I am an ardent follower of sparkpeople, I cannot do without a streak. Exercise streak? Not yet Food streak? Not yet My blog? I think so Still on exercise, I fell in love with some metals yesterday and .... (pics after the cut...)

It's 6 days since blogging and I am not sure that makes me happy at all. I will really want to dedicate some "me" time for this blog and ways to also improve the looks. It is Friday today and everything actually looks "Fridayish" with a long weekend in view (it's holidays next week), there is so much traffic outside there. Everybody wants to stock their homes and get things done before the holidays I think? Office is quite a bore today and everything I had wanted to do save my hair was still not done. I was only able to make arrangements about when and what I am doing to the hair tomorrow (datsall).

So sad, I am still not bringing myself up to the challenge. This week had been so challenging for me in all areas but I know that I am a winner. I had registered for the next round of Biggest Loser Challenge, I look forward to it and believing that I will achieve my goals with a different team this time around (hopefully). I had a splendid day yesterday with recipes to try out and that include a fried egg with fried rice and making a lemonade. It was awesome. I know I will get there. Good news, kid sister will soon come and I cannot wait to see my nieces.

It is supposed to be day 16 today but alas I am so far behind. I haven't done squat in more than 4/5 days now (not good sign). I have been on some food abstinence program, if you know what that means and because of that, I have less strength to do my daily routines, if you know what that means. I will try to resume tonight though and try to also make up the days skipped. I weighed in this morning and it was just a few pounds down at 172.3 as against 174.4 last week. When this challenge is done (I mean BLC challenge), I will be weigh in every Monday as against the Wednesday weigh in and when another round of the challenge starts, I will still maintain Mondays but post them on Wednesday and I hope this does not count as a cheat. Revival going on in church and I believe God hears and listens. I will live to give the testimonies of this prayer sessions.
