C'mon lilias! You can do it! You have identified what you did wrong - now start tomorrow with a new determination!! You are doing well to come in here and confess - now at least pat yourself on the back for that
I have been good this week- I jumped on the scales the other day and they dipped into the 83kg range - woohoo! Haven't been that low since pre-Flynn!
Had chinese for dinner tonight but its my birthday so I have allowed myself 'a day off' so to speak. I figure this time if I let myself have treats occasionally Im more likely to stick with healthy eating and lifestyle in general. I dont think I will have lost much as I have had dinner out (but I only had a beef salad ) a wedding (didnt worry about what I ate) and my birthdya this week plus I am due for AF but I have exercised a lot so Im happy if i have stayed the same tomorrow will tell
well done for everone who is still here and trying to meet the challenge here is to a better week next week
Sararose- Happy Birthday although it will prob be a bit late by the time you read this.
Lilias- as someone pointed out to me the other day dont focus on 1 bad day look at the week in general with regards to eating/exercise and it may not be as bad as you think
Well i too am dreading the weigh in tomo. I was naughty and weighed myself 2 days ago whilst on the wii and it only showed a 300g loss but i havent been very good so i am worried that i will be the same or even heavier than last week BUT DH is back Fri morning so i am hoping to get back on track. The only real execise i have been able to do with him been gone is the wii fit so it will be nice to be able to get back to the gym properly Even if i do stay the same i will send in my figures to Lucy as i am serious about this challenge i have just had an emotionally hard week and it has reflected.
Queenbee - I've a set of Tanita scales that do weight, bodyfat %, H20, bone mass, visceral fat (amount of fat in your belly around all your organs) and biological age. They are awesome, best $ I've spent.
Lilias - YOU CAN DO IT GIRL!! Tomorrow is another day, another chance for you to make good food choices. Hang in there, we are all here cheering you on.
Amy - Woohoo on your jog! Great effort!
Roryrory - Woohoo for you too for the loss! I am still dreaming of being prebaby weight.
Sararose - Happy Birthday! I agree about not banning certain foods otherwise it is just too easy to go overboard with it. I've been allowing myself a few treats here and there and I try to remember to do a bit of extra exercise to make up for it.
Had a tough workout in Pilates class tonight. My hamstrings and hips are soooo tight, it makes some things difficult to do. Prebaby I was so much stronger and doing advanced level, now I'm back in beginners class
I did my measurements today as I don't know if I will have time tomorrow and I've lost 7cm this week But I have gained half a kilo Hopefully it's all muscle!
Alcohol is NOT my friend and I think it proved once again to be my downfall this week. It's a bit frustrating because I have put so much hard work into my exercise routine this last week. I will be ramping it up this week and including jogging, light weights and resistence training. Now that I am stronger and fitter my walks are no longer challenging - so it's on to jogging for me!! That in itself is exciting.
My next goal is to get under 70kgs (currently 71.9). That would be AMAZING if I could do that in a week. It will be a challenge but I am ready for it.
Loss of 0.1kgs this week for me and 2.5cm off bust, waist and hips! I don't care how much I lose, as long as I have a loss! Walked heaps but did have some alcohol (bicardi) so I will try really hard not to drink this week. I think it is the alcohol that does it for me too Amy! But I was in my points range so am happy. Weigh in for WW is Saturday so hopefully I will lose some more by then!
I've had a loss too this week. Very surprising as they scales through the week were showing gains.
When I used to go to my dietician, he put me on a maximum of 4 alcoholic drinks a week. I've tried to stick to this maximum, and usually have 2 on a friday night (when we usually go out) and one or two through the week. If there is something big on, I sometimes have one or two more, but not often. Some weeks, I'll only have the friday night drinks. With this and the rest of the low GI diet I am still losing weight...... just something to think about............
amysarah - you're going so well on the exercise, you probably have built up muscle. I wish I could find the time to add more exercise in.
I only did my short (original) walk this morning, I was short on time and thought something is better then nothing. I'll be able to have a go on the wii-fit tonight, so that should make up for it, although my thigh muscles are really hurting from sunday nights go.
All the best with your weigh ins. Remember it's your own personal journey, so everyone's results will be different.
aamysarah you have been doing so much exercise it is likely you have lost fat but gained muscle mass, have you taken your other measurements? Well done on the jogging the c25k is killing me I am that unfit but I am so proud that I am doing it
Im off to weigh myself after aimee finishes feeding bbl
