12WBT August 2013

It's freaking freezing PN, don't blame you I'm about to go to bed. No exercise here today, am thinking am going to have to wake up at 6 to JFDI.

Hey girls, just wanted to pop my head in and say good luck! I'm not doing this round but have followed the program last year, it's great if you trust in it.

Thanks Hunter Mum :)

Did my first workout this morning, woohoo! Enjoying the day's food so far, looking forward to dinner too, it looks yummy :D

Me too ReeRee! I cooked up the salad slightly because I don't like raw cabbage and it was yummy! Having a tea now to stave off the sugar cravings. Got up at 6 and did a workout and planning same tomorrow but am fighting a cold so will see how I'm feeling in the morning, might be afternoon instead after work.

I've still got about 200 calories left, but nothing simple to eat to chew through them... very tempting to just have an enormous glass of wine!

But I'm getting a nasty sore throat, so I should have some oranges.

Not a chance of getting exercise. I'm exhausted, just from work and getting there and back, and then to the shops.

I'm giving myself a break while I recover from this nasty flu.

I've bought some nice coriander and capsicum to go with the broth that some fabulously lovely BBers cooked and gave me :D

PN - how thoughtful and yummy for the broth gift! Hope you're feeling better :)

Tanstar good idea with cooking the salad a little, I think my dh would prefer it cooked a bit as well

Weigh in day today, how did we all go?
I'm down 700 grams woohoo! First time I've been under 80kg for a verrrrry long time, I'm pretty pleased :) and I'm proud that I've gotten up at 6 every day and completed mish's workout vids.

Yay ReeRee that is ace! I'm still the same weight but that is 1.4 down from the start of preseason, not surprised after the massive weekend I had!

I had a ****ul day at work so ran it off in blizzard conditions near the surf beach and smashed 420cals and 4kms! Booyah!!! Lucky too co dinner was at mums and she made a creamy a chicken dish with full cream cream! No rice and small portion for me but not too worried as I think I'm still under call for today.

My back is sore so I'm looking forward to stretches/yoga tomorrow, well am hoping that's what it means!!! Have a good night all! xxx

I wrote poo full hahaha edited it out, oops!!!

It was very thoughtful :)

I didn't get to weigh in today... might try for the morning.

How are you all going??? I'm 2.8kg down from when I joined, no exercise the last 2 days and dinner at mums tonight so probably over 1200 but don't really care as I need this to be sustainable and by eating "real" food occasionally but eating consciously and making those choices I'm choosing to not feel guilty about it but just to own the choice and move on itms?!?

Am going for a run tomorrow though, loving running and ran 9kms on Saturday!
Hope you are all well!

I'm about 2 down, but I haven't been to the gym a single time, yet. I've been sick, and work has been mental.

I have been walking more and tramming less to and from appointments and the station, though, but that's maybe an extra kilometre or so a day... but better than nothing, right?

I've also been pretty good with the eating - but have to be careful, otherwise I end up accidentally eating a man's size, as that's the recipes we're getting this time, for DH.

Slow but steady.

If I lost 15 all up this cycle, I'll be very happy.

Slow but steady is good PN and definitely something is better than nothing. It's really tough going when you work and to fit the exercise in, especially in this weather. Being sick is the pits so don't stress too much, hard to get mojo to exercise when you feel like kaka.

My exercising was bad this week - just Monday run and yoga and then nothing again until today but it really was one of those just awful weeks so I am being really careful not to put guilt on myself. I CHOSE to not get up because I needed the rest so if I consciously make that choice I own it more than if I beat myself up ITMS. I really feel like my thinking about food and exercise is shifting, I am not eating mindlessly, preplanning is ace - I have a gf coming from Melbs tonight and we usually eat all sorts of crap, but today I got a heap of things like popcorn, nuts, some procuitto etc. so that i feel like I will be snacking but at least it's healthier than cheese and bacon balls right?! I know I will probably blow out a bit but will see how I go.

I ran about 6.5 kms today, but only ate a banana before i left then headed to a party for DS and at half a egg and lettuce sandwich there and have since been feeling awful. Own fault for not grabbing some brekky when I was done.

Have a great weekend all and will chat soon xoxo
