I am hanging out for the pizza tonight. Got the beginnings of shin splints, felt them as I walked from the office to the gym, managed a short session at the gym before walking home to stretch and ice them.
Today has been meh food-wise. I've not eating anything bad, but I know I'm not on schedule for the calorie intake.
No training tonight as I'm running a SSS session tomorrow with my training buddies at the park, so will need to be there early to set-up so need the sleep!
0.2 down. Not surprising given lack of sleep, exercise and kids birthdays. Will be ramping it up this week though. Am looking forward to tomorrow Sopdet!
I've just read through more of this thread. Would it be ok if I join the FB group, or is it just for those of you in Melbourne? I need all the support I can get and I'm on FB alot more than here :redface:
Just took my photo (kept forgetting to buy a paper) O M G gross! :( I know it will be good to have in the long run, but not sure I can bring myself to put in on my 12wbt profile.
Of course, join the group, theres a link in this thread, and I'll grab it for you iin a sec.
The before photo stays private in your account. If you want to share in the forums, you can. But the only other person who has seen my pics are my dh, and that was a few weeks after each round finished. :lol:
The fbgroup link: https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/BB12WBT/
Thanks hun :):
I thought the pictures were private, but it still worries me a bit just being the on the internet. The only way I will ever be sharing it is if I'm smoking hot at the end and want to share before & after together :lol:
Little bit nervous about it :) But I'll be ok, have explainations on how to do the execises on my piece of paper & will be there early to set-up:
Im a bit the same, I like it to stay private, and dont trust the privacy of anything on the internet. I wasnt going to share with dh but Ihad to show him how muchof a big difference there was. We were both shocked at the difference the 12 weeks makes. And Im no where near smoking hot yet:lol:
oh man I'm in love with the pizza :)
Sooooo our first week has been a complete and utter FAIL! Talking 5 days in a row of take out, no exercise. DP is still on holidays so we've been lazy slobs. We have been so good this year and then suddenly everything went to hell the last 2 weeks, "Oh we're on holidays, this once wont hurt." Which then turned into our old habits coming back full force! -sigh- So not impressed with us!
Back into properly now. Looking through the menu for next week though I may need to tweak the meals a little so I get some carbs into me each meal (with being pregnant). Had the beef & creamy mushroom last night and it was really good, just needed something a little more as an hour later I was STARVING! So I had a small serving of muesli and milk and it hit the spot perfect.
Just a quick reminder to anybody pregnant, diabetic or on some antidepressants to keep away from stevia as it can have adverse effects.
I woke up this morning with an inexplicably sore ankle that wasn't bearing any weight, but it's ok now.
Huzzah.
Body Combat, see you tonight.
week 2- thank god its a new day and i can right the wrongs i did over the weekend!:shakehead:
Went for a walk this morning, have 2 classes tonight (pump & cxworx) and will go to the gym straight from work. Tomorrow night I'm back at uni, so will have fun with the juggling work/uni/food/exercise.
I'm hungry!!!! And that's not good as I have just had lunch. Maybe AF is on the way.
not good Nai
I've just had lunch, chicken & guac wrap from last week's menu.
Had my Mediterranean sandwich earlier. Was hungry as all get out.
Need to get back to work now ...
the nachos are really filling!!!
im finding im better off having the banana bruschetta for breaky than cereal. i can hold off morning tea and then have a bigger lunch.
so usually have morning tea and lunch together.
tonight im doing mexican shepherds pie for dinner, with a exercise video after!
hiya ladies,
i'm thinking of doing the 12WBT next round.. our wedding is in 9 months & want to lose some KGs. i'm kindof a fussy eater, not much for "fancy" things lol. how are the meals? i don't like shopping much either... i only goto the shop once a fortnight, will that be enough to stick to this program? i'm just worried i'll waste money joining etc. can you do all the workouts from home? i'm not fit at all, and weigh just over 100KG... :redface: i can barely run for 1 minute. just scared i guess
any info would be helpful :D
-2.2 :D
Hiya md2b. I don't think a fortnightly shop is feasible because most of what you're eating is fresh, and the menus are released weekly. You could manage by doing a big weekly shop with a little top up during the week. You can do all the exercise at home. She dies online video work outs for that very reason. The cooking is pretty simpke and the food is delicious. Give it a go.
I'm doing it moderately (ie: not hardcore) and I've lost 8kg already, from 3 weeks preseason and 1.5 weeks of program.
Feeling deflated this morning only a 0.2 loss but I think AF is coming (due yesterday) so I'm guessing that could cause a low number with the bloating etc
I get away with the food for 2 weeks (as in 1 week's menu for 2 weeks) because I'm cooking for one and the servings are for two.
I ate before I remembered to get on the scales this morning.
AF is due and I know I've bloated up big time. Need to go to the Dr, need to make an appt for before work, might get a blood workup to check a couple of things that feel off.
1kg loss today! :)
Happy with that this week. Had some setbacks that were out of my control and some that weren't holding me back, but kept my head above water better than I thought I would have. So that is a win.
Well done everyone!!
I am doing a big shop today to cook up a whole heap of the freezable meals. I am going back to full time work, just cos, you know, didn't think life was stressful enough! PMSL So I am going to need to have a freezer full of meal ready to go for dinner for the kids, given we won't be home until 7pm most nights!
-1.1kg for me. I'm really happy with that loss as I didn't manage any exercise over the last 5 days.
Md2b - hi ya! Pretty much echo what peanutter has said. The meals are varied but you can stick to the same ones each day anyway. I love the meals but I eat a very varied diet. I think the program is worth it IMO
1.3kg lost this week :dance:
I'm going to step it up a bit this week with the exercise, I haven't actually been following the exercise program yet. Just been doing my c25k and some pump and body balance classes. Will also try and give up the glass of wine and beer I've been having here and there :redface:
epic failure here- 500g on :shakehead:
its my own fault and i know cheeseburgers are off the menu now, as is satay chicken and rice :doh::redface: good move crumpet thinking id get away with that :doh:
but its ok, i expected a minimal loss or add so im cool, as of monday ive been doing my exercise and been watching my food intake a lot better
Argh! AF arrived today - I'm always really hungry a few days leading up - bizarre!:
RhiChiChi, Sopdet & peanutter - thanks ladies :). i have registered interest for the next round! until then.. i'm just trying to cut out all soft drinks, lollies, chips, takeaway.. all the crap stuff!
gj on the weightloss everyone! :cheer:
You should reeeallllly try the Penang Chicken, not the same as a satay, I know, but it hits the spot for me. Filling without, but if you add rice an extra 110 or so cals. Skip a snack to have the rice. We love it, it is so yummy!!!!!! And don't sweat the cheeseburger thing, it was a one off, and it was even within your cals!
:
Don't beat yourself up, crumpet. New day soon :hug:
I went out for Vietnamese with a girlfriend today, thought I was doing well, but she got me a "three colour" which is a bean and coconut milk drink which I thought wouldn't be too bad ...WRONG! 700 calories!!!
So even though I was a good little nutter, and stopped eating as soon as I was satisfied (one pork chop and about 1/4 cup of broken rice, with some tea and the drink) I was still a good 600 calories over my meal allowance :wall:
Luckily I'd skimped on brekky (decaf, water, banana) and had a light dinner (the chilli prawns) so I was only about 10 calories over for the day, but it was rough.
Questions:
1. Is anyone else's palate changing? I just can't stomach refined sugar at the moment - I treated myself to my all time fave on Monday (skinny hazelnut latte) and it just tasted foul ... :(
2. Anyone else getting ragey headaches?
3. How many days a week are people managing a solid exercise?
4. What is your 4 week challenge/goal going to be?
*sneaking in*:
There is also a satay chicken recipe on the 12wbt website too. Its AMAZING! Definitely one of my faves. So if you're craving satay that's always an excellent option! All the flavour without the guilt ;) :)
*sneaking out*
Uh oh on the lunch date Peanutter, yep coconut milk high in cals! FWIW mine was similar - just a lunch at coffee club with my mum where i stupidly let her convince me to share something with her. I had decided i wasnt getting anything but was starving. I indulged over my meal limit but was still within my daily allowance.
1. Is anyone else's palate changing? I just can't stomach refined sugar at the moment - I treated myself to my all time fave on Monday (skinny hazelnut latte) and it just tasted foul ... :(
Yep Im not really keen on sugar, though the maple syrup on my french toast today was sixteen kinds of amazing.
2. Anyone else getting ragey headaches?
Last week yes, this week no.
3. How many days a week are people managing a solid exercise?
Not me, but ive been on a physio orders break.
4. What is your 4 week challenge/goal going to be?
My goal is a 5kg loss which should be easy done as 4.5kg down. And was to cycle for 30mins without stopping. But seeing as i haven't been back to the gym my fitness goal is not going to happen. I want to do the 1000 steps in ferntree gully as my mini-milestone but if i dont end up there i will go to altona (closer to home) and do their 100 steps 10 times. Im also going to go for a walk/shuffle around the lake near mums which is 7.5kms as last year pre-knee-injury running buddies are now running it (so jealous) and i figure i can walk it anyway.
Forgot about that one!!! Yumm!:
Peanutter, I don't know how you manage through all these lunch dates. I would have a really hard time being 'good' if I was in your situation.
I'm feeling a bit sore after doing back to back body combat and pump class last night! Not as sore as I thought I might be, I'm so glad I did it :) Tonight I hope to do run 2 week to of c25k. Hope everyone else is going well :)
1. Is anyone else's palate changing? I just can't stomach refined sugar at the moment - I treated myself to my all time fave on Monday (skinny hazelnut latte) and it just tasted foul ... Not sure, I haven't really tried to eat anything super sweet this week. Although 80%dark chocolate seems to be satisfying my cravings and it never used to.
2. Anyone else getting ragey headaches? No headaches here.
3. How many days a week are people managing a solid exercise? I think I've only missed 1 or 2 days of exercise so far.
4. What is your 4 week challenge/goal going to be? My 4 week goal is to have lost 4kg and to be strict with the food plan. I have always been better with exercise than food in previous weight loss attempts, so this time I want to keep both on track. So far, so good :)
Finally weighed 0.5kg down - happy with that considering Af arrived yesterday!
Yes, anything slightly fattening makes me literally hurl:
no but I'm feeling off, will need to make Dr appt after AF has left the building to get levels checked:
Monday (2-3 hours - 2 classes plus bike/run), Friday (2 hours - 1 class plus bike/run/row/weights), Saturday (aiming for 3-4 hours - session with girls in am then 2 classes), Sunday (2 hours - 2 classes - this week 1 class & workout).:
Going to try to throw in a morning or two now I think I have the uni routine sorted
Mad Cow Mud Run (12km obstacle race):
Last one in the gym in a Friday night and they're turning the fans off on me! Ok I get the hint guys!! :redface:
I've had that happen :) But it feels good :):
Today I missed out on my SSS session with some girlfriends, I slept in :( So I'm off to do my grocery shop for the week ahead. I will be doing back-to-back pump & attack classes this afternoon to make up for being slack this morning.
I missed my session too :( due to a horrid sleep. Doing a bike ride pub crawl this afternoon. That counts doesn't it? I'll wear my hrm ;)
Big evening planned for SSS today!
Jillian Michaels triple header - Frontside, Backside, and Kickbox - followed by Michelle Bridge's Cardio Kicker.
The last week has been really stressful and full on, so hoping all this will make me a bit more relaxed and focused going into this week. :)
Big cook up tomorrow too, love having a full freezer! ;)
LS That sounds like an epic workout! Goodluck with it!
I tried my first workout in a week last night. An hour workout took an hour and a half and was interrupted over 10 times by the girls who were meant to be sleeping. Im just hoping tonight to get a uniterrupted workout in. Actually I just want to go for a run on my new toy, treadmill, and test it out. Im sure I can reach 1000 cals on that.. Perhaps that will be my goal for tonight :lol:
Next week menu is very average, will be lots of changing about here.
Yes I think my palate is changing! We treated ourselves to a bag of M&Ms to have after dinner one night, I couldn't finish them, tasted sooo sweet! Then I felt ill and got a headache so guess I'm used to no refined sugar or something.
I did have an awful headache in the first week but nothing since, feeling great!
First week I exercised twice a day (huge walk with the boys and a workout) for 6 days, but come Sunday I could barely keep my eyes open. So have been a little more relaxed this week, just doing the workout and only walked with the boys once. Feeling slack but it's still more exercise than I was doing so it's all in my head lol.
Don't have a 4 week challenge, must've missed that one! I guess I would like to be below 60kg and I think that's achievable. Plan to treat myself to a new bra when I get under 60kg :lol: So need it!
