Well done Je$$.....that type of affirmation is perfect. You should print it out and have copies stuck to the fridge, the pantry etc..........
Bec, email me your stats? Or pm? And pm the ticker code if you want a ticker displayed?
As for me, I loaded my new iPod with some workout/running tracks and podcasts last week. So this morning got up at 5.30am and did intevals. The dance remix of "Take My Breath Away" is hilarious!
I also downloaded a BEEP/Shuttle fitness test........DH and I are going to measure our fitness monthly. We have a track at our back gate so we measured 20 metres with rocks. I managed to get to level 4:7, and DH only managed to get to 4:1 and he is slim and healthy, so that made me feel so prud of myself. (Trying not to be smug in front of him though, LOL!)
Back to work for me today, so foodwise will be fine (no time to snack) then I am walking this evening with my GF.

Its January 2010. Who would have thought that over the past 4 years I have yo-yo’d with my weight but it is now stable and I am finally within my healthy range for my height! I never thought I would see a number in the 70’s kg range but now I am in the 60’s kg range! The health benefits of giving up smoking in November 2005 can finally fully be felt as I am not carrying around that extra weight… and better yet my PCOS has reversed – well at least the effects of it have – so now when TTC I won’t have as many issues – that is the biggest relief of all. I love being able to borrow/lend clothes with by best friend again – we haven’t done that since high school! I am glad that I finally found a way to balance a hectic life with a healthy life. My personal trainer deserves a big thank you as do the BB girls for helping me to get there but the biggest thank you goes to myself – you finally achieved that goal that was really getting to you – you usually succeed and this WAS one area that had been getting away from you. Congrats!
Well I have just gotten back from my first group personal training session (my free intro one) and OMG, it was a killer and one point I was sure I was going to vomitt and kill over. However I pushed on and while I am not sure I can say I enjoyed myself, I can say that I can see that it is going to work. This is the usually the point where I go, thanks for the free session, it is all too hard and I will just go back to what I was doing last time (ie nothing) HOWEVER, being that 2009 is MY year, I am just filling in and signing the paper work, and I will be going back on Weds morning for session number 2, I am committing myself to this, and it is going to cost me a lot of $$$ to do, but do you know what I have realised- I AM WORTH, I DO DESERVE IT & I CAN DO IT- so go me!!
I was very proud of myself over the weekend, had a lot of celebrations on for my birthday, and while I allowed myself a few treats I didnt go over board like I usually do, was very controlled, and I didnt feel like I was missing out- I guess I felt empowered.
One thing that did get me a little upset is that we went to my Mum and Dad's for dinner, and I had specifically requested no Bday cake, which they did not listen to and bought anyway- I was disapointed that they didn't honour my request and support me- however, I did realise I had the power, to say no, I had 1 tiny sliver, cut of the icing and then had no more.
So a question, are there any people who intentionally or not sabotage your weight loss?
Lucy, thanks for those tips. Didn't have any sausages (hate them!) but just had some grilled bbq chicken no skin. I am thinking it is all the little things that add up, so going to cut out the butters, oils etc etc I think.
I think the affirmation thing is a brilliant idea! I'll have think about mine and come back later. Lucy, maybe we can post everyones affirmations with their tickers so they don't all get lost in thread?
Hiiii everyone. Okay, my week one has been a bomb LOL, well not entirely, but a lot of it has, anyway I have a bunch of bad-choice events out of the way now so am feeling better about it. I also had AF so was chocolate craving galore which was hell.
I LOVE the affirmation idea, in fact I just thiknk I will semi-copy the example Lucy wrote
It is January 2010.
I have worked hard all year. & I am so excited to be here. I reflect on my 'fat' photos and no longer see them as hideous but see them as me that had a baby & then, eventually felt it was the 'right time' to turn her life around!
I am very proud to say that last year I lost over 30kg. I am now a slim size 12 and I feel like a sexy goddess. I love being able to wear anything I like and look good in it. I am so relieved not to be worrying over my weight. I am so glad I stayed motivated and lost the weight and got fit.
I am so thankful that my husband was there every step of the way to guide us both to satisfaction. And that seeing my son grow into an active little boy gave me even more inspiration to get here.
I am woman
It is so inspiring to come in here everyday and see everyones triumphs or to read others console those who have briefly fallen off the wagon. This is definitely a good way to go about a transformation, there is no way I could do this without so much support.
Blackduckies I was having the same problem with my DS been really fussy at the boob for two days, it was on one of my walks that I worked out that I was most probably not eating enough to satisfy him as well as myself and with the extra exercising ect that I was burning more cals off. So yesterday I ate a bit more then the previous days and he didn't fuss at all, so maybe give that a try.
Well I've been doing well with my exercise have been doing between 40-50mins of walking each day, except yesterday, but we went 4wding and I was in and out of the car and walking with the video camera so I got some exercise at least. As I was saying to Blackduckies, I believe that I had cut down too much on my cals that he was getting fussy so I had to have more to eat, I've been having healthier options and he isn't fussy now.
I've got a question, Is it possible to lose cms and not weight?
