Trying really hard to knock a few more kilos off and just can't seem to budge them. I know that you're not supposed to get on the scales every day, but just can't seem to avoid them.
I've now added about three extra blocks to my walk pattern, and did that this morning in half an hour, so looks like I need to add more distance. I was doing my old walk in about 20-25 minutes, so I guess that's an improvement.
I've also managed to turn Wii-Fit The Chase into being able to buy one, although it was the last one in the shop on Saturday (they only got them in on Friday). So I've been on that a few times, just finding/making the time will be hard. I was using it last night until DS1 kicked me out of his bedroom to go to sleep. (It's where the Wii's set up). But I got about half an hour in before then, so that wasn't bad. Tonight I have a meeting, so any chance of any form of exercise will be out. By the time I finish work at 5.30, organise dinner and drive to the meeting to start by 7pm and who knows how long it will go for, sometimes they don't finish until 9.30, then home to bed to start work again at 6.30 tomorrow. I'll have to try and fit my walk in before work tomorrow.
I'm trying to eat better, I still cave in a little but I'm so proud of me at the moment. DH bought a cake to go in his lunches, so I cut a piece off, wrap it up and pack it for him, and I've done so well, and haven't had any myself. I thought about it last night when making his lunch, but I was also getting his fruit ready, so popped a piece of fruit in my mouth instead. Was so tempted to put the jug on and have a slice with a cuppa.
I hope that you all have a great day. I'm just finishing tidying up before starting work this morning.
I'm still here, though I think this week is a write off. I haven't been consistant with anything. Have done some exercise but probably not enough and have had some bad food choices. I have started today with a renewed determination. As soon as DD2 goes down for a nap I'm going out and doing some weights no matter how tired I am!!
Mollycat, yay for finally getting a Wii. I'm trying to talk DH in to getting on and I think he's nearly cracked. He's been saying he wants to do things at night when the kids go to bed, instead of just sitting on the computer or watching TV. I think a Wii is the perfect solution.
I'm still here too, this weekend I was naughty and had pie and chips, so hopefully the greasy's won't affect me too much. I've been having heaps of salads and healthier choices so hopefully that will out weigh the bad stuff. I've only gone for two walks so far and will go again this afternoon. Yesterday I wore Julian in the carrier so that was a resistance walk, cos he's an extra 6kgs.
I've noticed that my clothes are starting to feel a little looser, just haven't gone down a size yet, hopefully that will be soon.
Punkin yay for eating breakfast everyday, I'm having to making a concerted effort to always eat, otherwise it gets to lunch time and I'm starving and just pig out.
We just got back from a couple of dys away with family and friends, and blerg.........I feel gross. Not that I ate anything really excessive, but I didnt get much 'regular' excercise like I do when I am at home, just lots of wandering etc, and I didnt eat as well as I do at home- plus I had a few beers and a few glasses of wine, and all up it has led to me feeling horrid.
We took the kids out for a treat lunch yesterday and had fish and chips, and the grease from that has given me an unbelievable upset stomach.
Anyway home now, so back to it. I have a PT session in the morning, and with any luck I might get a short walk in this arvo.
I think we are getting to the stage where the novelity of it all has warn off, and now is when the real work to stay motivated and on track begins. Good luck everyone, I am sure we can do it.
Hi everyone, hope all is going well. OOOOhhhhh looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. I got some WW scales today from BIG W! Tells you your body fat percentage too, they are great. I am right on the borderline with fat so need to get under that to feel better. Love my new scales, does anyone else have the body fat percentage ones?
Went to coast yesterday and visited Mum and we went to the RSL for lunch. There was salad there but I felt blahhhh so had crumbed barra (5.5points) and salad. Still had 1 point left over last night! So I didn't blow out and felt good about that choice (even though it was deep fried!).
Hoping you are all going great guns with your water drinking, exercise and healthy choices!

I haven't measured though, TBH i can't face seeing those numbers creeping up too...
