Well, I (and I may be the only one) got a little too drunk last night so avoiding greasies today could prove difficult.
I am really proud of myself as I started this from Monday when I first committed myself to it instead of saying "oh after NY", so I have had a few days lead up into it as well.
Is anyone else kickstarting their change in diet with a two week fibre challenge (benefibre, fibresure, all bran)? I'm feeling good after the first three days, cant wait to see how i am feeling after two weeks.
Whoever was asking about weight to lose in the run-up thread, I need to lose at least 30kg (what I would be 'happy with'). 35kg for BMI of 25 & I think it was 41kg for ideal BMI at 22. I mostly think BMI is a crock but I will use it as a guide for my weight loss.
Anyway I have an excited monkey waking up my three hungover guests so i better go entertain him....
I'm also using the 12-week healthy habits activity and food thing on measureup.gov.au
I thinkit'll be good for me as I don't want to focus toooooo much on numbers, especially calories, but more on getting active and eating regulatly and healthy is the biggest thing so it's great for me.
Cookiemonster, I had a few last night too - didn't get drunk, but had a vomiting toddler at 11:30- poor love and I didn't fall into bed til 2:30 and up at 6:30 so I think I will have trouble being good today too especially with leftover snacks in the house. Maybe I should eat them ALL at once and get rid of them Did I mention I have very low self-control. Looking at photos of last night in my costume will help my motivation - I am going to stick them up on fridge and in the cupboard - will help me stay motivated for sure. I was Pebbles and I look like I ate a leopard
Well, Happy NY to all....i have been for a half an hour walk this morning with DD in pram! Its quite hot today so would try to do longer when its not so hot!
Got a big bottle of water in the fridge so will drink all that today! and Tanstar...i ate all the leftovers from xmas yesterday so my cupboards are looking very healthy! (empty) lol
My aims are to do more excercise, get fitter and healthier...to put my DH to shame, he always seems to be able to drop any extra killos in a week!! no fair!
This time two years ago i bought a load of beautiful clothes...none of which i can fit into anymore!! just want to get back into them.....not to much to ask!!
Goos luck to all!!
Feeling good today and ready for the challenge! Got to try to get out soon to do some exercise because it's going to be a hot one today.
Yesterday was great. For a family outing we went to the pools and I was able to swim some laps. And then I walked straight past the kiosk without buying any chips!
I'm another one who doesn't like fruit, does anyone have some good ideas for snacks?
Well I made it and im here, have had the shock of my life when i steped on the scales im as heavy now as i was when I was due. ive a lot to lose, but Ill get there
Pam thanks again for pointing me in the right direction
Just want to wish all you gorgeous girlies all the willpower in the world! I would have loved to have joined but being pg I guess it really isn't possible! So I'll read and try and get fit
Happy New Year everyone! I've had 4 hours sleep last night as we were at the in-laws for NYE dinner, which was very yummy (and my last chance to go nuts on the appetizers!), and DS was up at 6:30 although I was up at 5:30 as my nose was all blocked up so jumped in a hot, steamy shower to try and clear it...ended up scrubbing the shower!!! So there's my first workout today.
Cookiemonster....I eat All-Bran for breakfast mostly every day, either that or weetbix made with hot water and a splash of milk. I can't stomach the sugary cereals which surprises me considering I have a sweet tooth. I think my breakfast is the most healthiest meal I eat! It's just the snacking on crap that is my downfall.
Beckoes - I have this gorgeous skirt I bought in Singapore almost two years ago and I don't fit into anymore so another of my goals is to fit into my favourite skirt
