2009 Body Transformation Challenge, Week 2

[Captain]

I have to admit my cup of milo was mostly milo with a dash of milk . It was really something I ate rather than drank.

The heat atm is making things hard. We did go for a walk yesterday but we got so hot so fast. Apparently it's meant to be cooler on Monday so I hope to get out for a long walk.

Lilias, I was having the same problem so I've started having omlettes for lunch and have a protein shake if I need a snack. Tonight I'm doing a stir fry, though I'll have mine without rice.

you girls should join WW! you can eat everything and save up points to use for the end of the week. it is more like healthy eating, not really dieting. you can buy the points guides on ebay if you can't afford to join. but they are having a special at the moment and i have a $30 off voucher in the latest WW mag. if anyone wants me to post it to them, PM me, i am more than happy to!

hope you are all doing well

Me too.

initially I found it really hard to totally change my carbs to proteins, but as soon as I committed to it, I found the weight came off easily, and my metabolism really changed for the better.

Lilias.......do you have a continental deli nearby? One good high protein snack is roasted broad beans, or roasted fava beans. Sounds gross, but really yum and v.high in protein. They are my lifesaver, LOL!

So with the omelettes girls, anyone have a tasty recipe?

We're going out for dinner to a club for a friends birthday tonight, so hopefully I can choose something respectable! Today I've been good, really got past my cravings and I feel like I've gotten over the hill now. Also did half hour aerobics on the Wii Fit.

Mine sounds yuk, but I love it.

3 egg whites, whiaked with a fork, add some black pepper.
Add 15g of grated low fat tasty cheese
Chop up about 1/2 cup of veggies (mushrooms, capsicum etc)
Spray a fry pan with cooking spray. Fry the veggies. When they have browned, pour in the egg and cheese mixture. Fry till golden and crispy on both sides, and then serve with salad.

All this for only 86cals, 4.5g fat, 11.2g of protein and only 0.5g carbs.

That actually sounds really tasty Lucy... mmm ommlette!

I didn't put anything in because my scales said I lost 2kg and I didn't think it was right. I wish I read the thread earlier! It wasn't until someone commented that I looked like I lost some (what the?) that I thought maybe it was true, but now scales say 1kg gone!

I have been more stressed than anything, but trying very, very hard to eat even if I don't feel like it or else I pig out on crap. I've stuck to the hot water and lemon and am not drinking as much tea as usual. BIG drinky-poos last night, so thats a bit silly of me .

A few days ago I decided to really use the resistance stuff Lucy put up, and added a few things of my own. I got the soup cans out and my darling baby girl fetched some little tuna tins and lifted them too...soooooo cute. She is counting to 20 on her own now too!
I do lunges and we turn them into 'monster walks' and roar all over the house.

I've worked out how to use the stepper so my knees don't crack so much (I'm OLD!), I've been up and down the ladder painting for the day. Its great to FEEL the difference, and it doesn't make me pooped, it gives me instant energy!
And how can you say no when my princess runs to get her tuna tins and declares "exercise time mummy!".

Will post the next lot of stats next week. I might get a bit more used to it by then!

Oh Lucy, I have a ticker but I can never remember which one to use html or whatever....
