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
OK after the recommendations from you lovely ladies, I have joined Calorie King and I must say I am hooked already. I love the food diary, it is so easy to use. My calorie needs came back as 1900 for bf, which is pretty reasonable. I will try it for a week and see how I'm coping and whether or not I can cut it back.
Anyone else starting to feel a bit more energetic?
Boy, its been a long day, I'm so tired. We got home late. I haven't done too well today, I didn't eat juck but I ate way too much. Everyone seems to be going well, Congrats.
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
Well, I have been pretty good the past couple of days. Gone for a walk both days and eating ok. Not great but ok, no junky stuff, but probably still too much of the healthy stuff, LOL! Walking has been a challenge though with the heat we've had the past few days, and I carry DSin the ergo too. I went on a walk the other day that used to take me 40 mins, and it took me almost an hour! I am sooo unfit. It's amazing to see how far I have let myself slide health and fitness wise.
I had a bad day with the kids yesterday adn was soo tempted to call DH to get a tub of ice cream for me, but I didn't, and I fought the cravings to eat anything after dinner, so I was pretty proud for that! I'm such a bad emotional eater, especially if things upset me, or I'm feeling lonely and depressed. Which lately seems all too often...
I have been having lots more fruit and veggies and water, so that's a great start. Now to work on portions....I used to eat so little, now well, lets just say I like a full plate!!
My goal for now is to lose 3-5kg by Feb. I have a wedding then and would like to be close to under 80kg. I think I might have already lost almost a kg, so I'm on my way, yay!! Then after that I'd like to lose another 6-8kg by mid April when we have another wedding to go to. That should bring me down to about 75ish kg. I think that's all pretty doable if I stay on track.
By the end of it all I want to fit into my jeans I have from yeeeaaaars ago. I think I wore them the day I met DH! I have heaps of clothes I've been hording that I really want to wear again.
Captain, I like the idea of doing active family outings. Our outings often include food, like going out for lunch, or getting fish n chips at the beach. I'm going to skip the fish n chips and just do the beach thing now!! Adn take a ball to kick around with DD for good measure And it makes things more fun!
Well it's day one of the challenge and I'm feeling great. The house is well and truely free of chocolate - courtesy of me polishing it all off last night of course
What is everyone doing diet wise? I'm counting calories and sticking to a low fat diet. I'm allowing myself up to 1500 calories per day.
My diet is three healthy meals a day, not counting calories (as I tend to get a bit obsessive) so just trying 3 healthy meals, 2L of water, limit my coffee/coke.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2009 be a great healthy year for all of us!
In total I have walked 2 hours this week and have done 500 sit ups! I weigh in on Saturday morning!
With regards to water, I have about 2 glasses when waking and then the other 6 by about 2pm. So after 2pm, any water I have is a bonus (with dinner etc). I also am a strong believer of having a glass of water when I feel peckish and it fills me up so the craving only lasts for a minute!
I have saved a total of 24 points so far to use on Friday night (if I wish) so I am really enjoying Weight Watchers Online!
Any people wishing to do it online, it is ace! It is $89.95 for 3 months and keeps you very, very motivated!! I just record things I eat through the day on the laptop which sits on the kitchen bench (I hated the old style of writing is all down).
Am I allowed to join??? I have about 30kgs to lose and would love to chat to some lovely ladies along the way Let me know what I have to do and ill be there
Had a few celebratory wines last night so am loving my water this morning!! But threw in a coffee also... and 4 pieces of toast with peanut butter... oops... I must admit I woke up and had forgotten about the challenge I am going to be better for the rest of the day!!
tk, I have a coffee every morning and it is only 0.5points on WW (allowed 20 points per day) and I have it white with one sugar so it's not too bad at all! Yum, wish I had peanut butter on toast this morning, would have been really yummy!!
