Accountable Monday

So today I start this whole accountable Monday thing I said i'd do last entry.

Last Monday WI: 74.8kg
This Monday WI: 74.3kg
Loss: 0.5kg

Exercise: 2 X weights at the gym, 2 x exercise video weights, 2 x roller skating, 2 x jogging

I'm pretty happy with this week's numbers. I would have liked to fit in another jog but moreso because i'm trying to increase my fitness and improve in that area than for weight loss.

I went down to Melbourne for a couple of events this weekend and I had a function on Saturday night so i'm pretty impressed that I didn't just blow my entire 'good week' with one 'bad weekend'!

I kept my drinking to a minimum and drank for taste rather than 'effect', which shows some real control for me. ha.

Friday I went to the Victorian Burlesque Finals and boy are those women SEXY. Some amazing bodies and some even more amazing talent. I was so impressed. PLUS the quality of clothing and people watching the event gave me some great opportunities to view eye candy and people watch. Go here if you want to check out the finalists:

I managed to stay away from the unhealthy food going around and munch on the muesli bar I had in my bag and aside from a yummy glass of champagne and some om nom nom-able Pear Cider I stayed away from the evils of 'drink'. Of course being designated driver helped with that.

Saturday was the 'Christmas in July' Hot Rod Charity event and for the first time in about 4 years I, as my friend Candy would say, 'got my boobs out'. This basically means I didn't wear a singlet/top under my dress. This is a pretty big deal for me because i'm so wary of showing skin; it's a lack of confidence thing. I wish I could properly describe the response I got from my female friends when they saw what I was wearing but instead I will just post some pictures.

This is me being all 'myspace' in the toilets at the event. I know it probably doesn't look like a lot of boob or a big deal but i've been hiding behind 'layers' for a really long time now so wearing this dress felt like a HUGE deal to me.
This is the only full length photo of me from the night. It was taken at the end when we went back to a friend's shed.
Note: Welcome to the Australian Country. I have a friend who lives in a shed... a big warehouse shed, but still... basically his loungeroom has half finished hot rods and tools all over the shop. Hence the silly photo of me with a lathe.
I, again, managed to be pretty good on Saturday night and then on Sunday I got up and did an exercise video.
It's the weekend that usually derails me so i'm pretty proud of myself this Monday. Thankyou will power.
Have a great day people!
