12WBT February 2013

I exercise after work - I'm normally at the train station by 6.30am, and my gym only opens at 6.00am.

So I'm aiming for the next 12 weeks to leave bang on (or a touch before) 5pm, get the 5.07 train, straight to my station, straight to my car (with gym stuff in there already), straight to my gym and warm up before a 6.30pm class.

I suspect I won't make it more than 3 times a week and will end up doing other stuff at the gym instead, but you know what? It's a HUGE improvement.

I had to fight my way through the breakfast, I ended up going heavy on the cinamon because cottage cheese makes me want to barf (just the texture of it). I had the chicken guacamole wrap for lunch, had a chocolate brownie (WW) for morning tea and have fruit & yogurt for afternoon snack. I'm at the gym after work, will get off the tram early and walk to the gym & then walk home.

When I'm back at uni (next week) I will have to do the gym thing in the mornings 3 days a week.

oh horrible first photo!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is it is upwards from here.

I use extra light ricotta instead of cottage cheese - much nicer!

[megs]

Thanks for that tip Nai. What brand of yoghurt do people eat?

[Nai]

Whatever is on sale! Tamar Valley is yummy though.

[megs]

I'll look out for that one

[TTC-a-miracle]

I get whatever is on sale too

[LimeSlice]

Jalna here. I don't buy low cal anything, it is usually full of artificial sweeteners and gelatin and junk, and the girl eat yoghurt like it is going out of fashion, so I need it to be as natural as possible.
It is on special every few weeks too, and pretty reasonably priced otherwise.


Looking forward to shopping tomorrow! Been eating through the left over and last of my non-programme shopping the last few days, so looking forward to the dinners.

[megs]

That was my concern re the low cal. I really want to stay away from artificial sweetners etc.

[Nai]

I only get low fat natural unsweetened natural or greek style so there is no sugar or artificial sweeteners. I add fruit if I want it sweetened.

i get the activia plain vanilla and its really yummy.

im feeling muscles i didnt know i had this morning! god knows how ill manage tonights work out!

[peanutter]

I have Forme etc.

Long term I will cut out artificial sweeteners, but at the moment they're in my yoghurt, my coffee, Pepsi Max and possibly other stuff ...

One thing at a time.

Hoping I can join in here. I just sign up last night, eeeek!

I'm trying to get all the 'pre-season' stuff done today as well as go for a big shop before lunch. I'm looking forward to getting fit and healthy (again!) Hopefully there will be good support to help keep me motivated.

I will read through more of this thread later.

Welcome!!

1.5kg down!! So stoked!

How did everyone go this morning??

[TTC-a-miracle]

Welcome Munckin_Mumma
On my way to work so my workout will be tonight, I'm thinking of a 5km walk.
I've got a salad for lunch and water.

The big weigh in: 2.1kg lost

[peanutter]

Totally forgot to weigh. My other weighs lately have been at night so I guess I'll do it tonight and start doing it in the morning thereafter.

Today's challenge though will be my client lunch!! Going to have a sticky beak at the menu now so I can suss out the healthiest option... and then make the all important decision about whether to have a glass of wine ...
