Had another bad weekend It was DP's 40th Birthday Party so lots to eat and drink and party food etc. I am now sick so won't be able to go to the gym and weigh my self today in all likelihood. I will just have to go on cm lost I think (if I have lost any....). I had been doing so well during the week too!
Kate- Don't you find it so exhilirating when you realise you can do more difficult excercises than before, or run for longer than you have ever been able too. I dont think I have ever enjoyed excercising as much as I do now that I am working with my PT group, and getting fitter.
I managed to get out for a jog yesterday morning, I can't believe I am actualley jogging round the streets these days, and whats more I am enjoying it. Had a good loss this week, 1.2kgs- feeling pretty pleased.
I hope everyone see's some results they are hoping for this week, and if not please remember this is only 1 week out of 52 in the year. GL everyone
Loss of about 400g this week, which is better than my gain last week. All cms went down except waist =( now i have my wii and the new gym near my house opens soon so i will be expecting big things to come hehe
The end of week 2 is near! I have tried really hard this week although not much exercise due to sick children - still! Argh! Although I did manage a 40 min and a 30 min walk last week pushing a double pram which is about 25kg. That has to be of some use. lol
I seriously thought and thought of a low recipe but nothing came to mind. The methods / habits I use/have developed over the years are low fat / healthy so I thought I might share those with you. They are no brainers really!
* stem vegies
* cook with olive oil when a fat is needed
* drink low fat milk - I am a big coffee drinker and have cereal in the mornings.
* trim all meat of fat, rarely eat chicken skin..but it is yummy!
* have snags once a week and bacon maybe once a month and grill them
* i use full cream cheese (for thekids and cheaper than buying 2 lots)so limit it to saturdays and sundays only and only once on those days
* rarely eat deep fried gunk
* not three, but four begies with dinner most nights
* fruit 2-3 times a day, depending on my day
* 2L + of water
* no snacks such as museli bars
* fish 2-3 times a week whether it be tinned tuna over a salad or oven cooked fish
....think that is all. After reading that.....why doI have a belly and butt???????
Well I was petrified of having a gain this week - I got over my bug, but was just really down/stressed/unmotivated so haven't really done much. But I've broken even. lost 100gm (tehe) and both lost and gained 2cm - so net change zero!
But I'm hoping this week will be a better week! Re recipes, I made a slow cooker chilli beef last night, and just had a bit of low fat sour cream and some quacamole, but avoided the cheese to make it a bit healthier yay!
KTgirl - I've been doing WW online and found it great for the first little while - lost about 4-5 kgs doing it. I found even if I wasn't strict about monitoring my food I was still eating about the right amount & losing weight anyway. Then my life got super chaotic and it all went out the window - but I'm hopeful of getting back into it soon.
I have to say, I'm super envious of the joggers. I used to LOVE running, but I can't do it anymore (prolapse issues) and I really miss it I know I can go walking, but it just doesn't give you the same buzz. Plus I've gotta be really careful about doing weights for hte same reason too - my physio has advised me to avoid them for the moment. I just wish I could to my old gung-ho type of trainign lol even though I know I can still lose weight & get fit with the slow/low impact sensible approach *sigh* oh well that's my little vent out of the way.
for everyone who's lost - well done!
to anyone (like me!) who's stayed the same or gained - hang in there, we CAN get there. Sometimes I'm tempted to not post or acknowledge if I haven't progressed, but i know it will help me get back on the wagon again... I ate well yesterday, gonna do better today AND go for a walk!
