Well, I figured it was about time that I put a photo up. This is me as I am now. Needless to say I am a bit photo-phobic unless I'm the one taking the photo so I don't own a photo of me at my starting weight, I'm just waiting for someone who does have a photo of me at my then to email it to me. But I have a strong suspicion that I will probably end up finding it for myself when I go back to the parents place for Christmas. So there you go, this is what I look like. I should be pretty easy to find out on the street. I'll be the 6ft blond walking around with a blurry head. Merry Christmas!

It's Photo Time!
Well, I figured it was about time that I put a photo up. This is me as I am now. Needless to say I am a bit photo-phobic unless I'm the one taking the photo so I don't own a photo of me at my starting weight, I'm just waiting for someone who does have a photo of me at my then to email it to me. But I have a strong suspicion that I will probably end up finding it for myself when I go back to the parents place for Christmas. So there you go, this is what I look like. I should be pretty easy to find out on the street. I'll be the 6ft blond walking around with a blurry head. Merry Christmas!

Congratulations to myself! I have completed my graphic design course and my diploma should be arriving in the mail next week (I'm skipping the graduation ceremony). It's been a really hectic few weeks finishing my studies and I really let a lot of thing fall by the wayside: diet, gym, blogging, tv and basically everything else I enjoy.
I had thought that once I finished my classes, I would be able to get things really on track. I was going to be (and still am) jobless for a while and would have endless hours free for exercise and planning out nice satisfying healthy menus. Then the unexpected happened. I'm going to call it The Bordem Trap (TBT).
Basically, you get bored, so you end up snacking. A lot. It makes sense unfortunately. Since I am a jobless bum, I wake at about 10am each day. Have breakfast and go to the gym. And then I have nothing left to do for the whole day, everyday. I've been finding that when bored, I start foraging for whatever food can be scrounged from my empty cupboards. I can't find any goodies so now it's time to break out the mixing bowl and oven mits. Let's make a cake, some biscuits, piklets, chocolate pudding, scones or a custard tart. I really need a good distraction.
Unfortunaly they're a bit hard to come by when you actually need one.
Before The Bordem Trap I was down to being 135.3kgs. Then it went up by 2.4kgs. I've been really fighting The Trap this past week and managed to re-lose 1.3kgs. BUt I still feel really disappointed with myself. This was my first gain I've had since I started to lose weight. I suppose that I was starting to think myself some sort of super-human weight loss warrior. I guess I managed to finally find my kryptonite(is this the right pop culture reference?).
The answer to my Bordem Trap would defiantly be to find a job, but at this time of year and with no experience doing anything I'm finding it really hard. Firstly I have no experience and despite my diploma, I don't think that I really want to work in graphic. My second problem is uni students. Schools all over for the year so they all move back home and back to the jobs they had before they left for uni and then when they start drifting back to the capital cities and classes in February/March/April, they leave all the empty places behind. Unfortunately, this coincides with the end of the areas massive summer tourist season (I live in a seaside town so tourist season really is HUGE). So the job prospects really aren't looking to good for me.
So whilst I continue to navigate (with a very patchy map) around The Bordem Trap, I hope that everybody else's weight loss/healthy lifestyle endeavours are having more sucess than mine.
Happy Holidays!
