What on earth is Operation Skinny Cow?

Operation Skinny Cow was born after a few of us in Blogland decided it might be nice to lose some weight and/or get a bit fitter. We decided it would be even nicer if we encouraged each other along the way.

You can read about how it started in this post.

Weigh-in... whatever (Femina)

Last week: 75.3
This week: 74.5
Loss: 800g

When I weighed myself earlier in the week I'd lost a full kilo but it's been 38 degrees here and I think I've drunk about 15 litres of water in the last two days so that may be affecting things! :)

The hot weather also affected my ability to go to the gym. The gym itself is airconditioned but what I didn't factor in was that on Tuesday it was 30 degrees at 10am, the gym is part of the aquatic centre and it's school holidays. There was NO parking, not even in surrounding streets. So I haven't been since Saturday but the weather has cooled down now so I'll try to go again tonight. I'm feeling enthusiastic about the gym again and that's a very good thing. I'm also back at work this week so I'm trying to bring my lunch from home and not buy muffins and other goodies in my lunch break.

I'm inching along slowly but I'll get there...

Well done, Feminy!

That is great news. And expecially in this heat - it's easy to spend the day lying on couches and eating food.

Hooray for you!

Yeah, Queensland is supposed to be hot, but the weather is better up here than down there at the moment. I'm glad you're feeling enthusiastic about the gym now - it must make things easier.

At least it was 15 litres of WATER, not sugary stuff.

I never drink the sugary stuff, so that's one less thing to overcome. Now I just need to work on hating bacon. Or at least learning to say no to it.
