my measurements are in and my way to a healthier life is underway - busy times over the next few days so that will help to keep the chance to sit down and eat to a minimum - thankfully!!!
I am going to set myself mini challenges as I go along, I have been on a weight loss journey since the start of the year, but still find myself forgetting some of the basics. So to start with this week, I am going to set myself the goal of drinking more water- which I find incredibly difficult in winter.
OK have sent my measurements in. Heres to continuing the weight loss journey.
Good luck everyone. Would love to know what all of your plans are to achieve your goals. I am going to try and do up a bit of a motivational plan today sometime.
Pap - It won't matter for the first time as Trillian won't be posting those details up. It is only for the ones after where she will need to collate and post the results that she needs them in on time.
Yay!! This is going to be fun!! I kicked started today with a bowl of special K and a walk!! lol And i have roped in a buddy to walk twice a day with!! I am feeling better already!!
If you want weightloss you need to keep your heartrate low enough that your body is still burning fats. Once you raise it when running etc, you begin to burn glycogen and carbs therefore not burning fats.
I can't remember the exact % of max heartrate but i am pretty sure that it needs to be
below 65% to burn fat
below 80% for fitness (aerobic exercise)
then 80-90% is to improve your anaerobic system (<1k races)
90-95% is for ATP system (sprints)
& to work out max HR is 220-your age
Morning ladies. Feeling really sore today after yesterdays boot camp. I can't wait until my muscles get kind of used to the exercise so I don't wake in pain the day after. Yesterday I was reasonably healthy. The only thing I wish I didn't eat was for lunch yesterday and it was leftovers from the night before but it had rice with it. Never mind it is all gone now. I am going out with my Mum today and we usually have lunch at a cafe while we are out so I will try and pick the healthiest meal on the menu and I will make my latte a skinny one
Better get going and have a shower before the twinnies get out of bed. Have a great day!

I was knackered but felt good. Burned 370 calories from just the cardio. I had a diet yoghurt and an apple for dinner. Overall had a good diet and excercise day. I'm really afraid that the chocolate demons will come calling soon and will cave into my craving for sweets.
I'm really afraid of eating out. I don't know how much fat or calories there an in the food and might over indulge
Bought scales and tape measure yesterday - pm'd stats this morning as didn't get the setup till last night and as will be checking stats in mornings not arvo thought had better do the same or I will have an 'extra' loss this week since always heavier in evenings - prob all that water!!! told DH I'm doing a challenge with my net buddies and he said he would do it too - he seemed to think he was pregnant too with his weight gain me thinks.
Don't know how I'm gonna go excercising today - am absolutely exhausted, 5 hrs sleep last night, think DD's starting to teethe, she was very oddly unsettled. Ah well, onwards and upwards. Gonna make a big pot of vegie soup today - (not that vile veggie soup from the veggie soup diet - vomit) I hate eating salad in cold weather so figure this will be good.
Great info on the heart-rate's by the way - DH has one of those monitors like they all wear on the biggest loser for the same reason so will strap it to my chest and make sure heartrate is "in the zone".
Is it too late to join?? This is exactly what i need at the moment. I just need to get my hands on a tape measure so can i email my measurements tomorrow morning??
. Will email either tonight or tomorrow morning.
