I can't see your diary Z, you need to go into settings and make sure you have it set so that friends can see it :D
Wow, i did a 2.18km walk this arvo. Didn't realise there was a massive hill at the end either. I almost died lol...almost! I'm still alive and feel pretty good at my achievement! :-)
Did the grocery shopping today and bought all healthy foods. Can't wait to start cooking with the recipes i've found.
I made it to the gym last night and the plan is to go on the way to work tomorrow.
Also managed to make dessert for DS last night without eating any myself
I am getting used to eating my dinner without rice. Extra veggies and meat seem to make up for it. Beef stew tonight mmmmm
However my online food diary seems to be broken :( I hope it comes back soon, years of overeating mean I am unable to calculate a normal days diet without someone telling me if I am eating too much or not enough.
Haven't posted in here yet, just the FB page one. But I wanted to say, do something nice for yourself.
Last week I put fake tan on my legs and painted my toenails bright red. And I felt great!!!!!! I haven't painted my nails since before DD was born, and fake tan? Forget it. But I found a bottle in the bathroom cupboard, it hadn't expired, so yay for my fake tanned legs!
Yesterday I didn't have a great food day, but I think I was just feeling a bit blah, so yeah. No excuse, but at least I can recognise it. My meals were okay, just too many bad snacks. Tonight we're having cannelloni for dinner, spinach and ricotta and I even grew the spinach myself :)
Antheia, do you have any recipes to share? Would love some inspiration :)
Traveller I am impressed you are doing it so tough and even giving ip rice! Wow...
I had another good exercise day, I did the zumba class and added on an extra 3k ride, weights and 1k cooldown run. I also put up and down a two room tent and took DD and DS on a 2k walk. Eating was TERRIBLE though
I couldn't give up rice so have got brown rice instead of white. Also changed to multigrain pastas and wholemeal bread and soy and linseed bread which is a fav of mine.
I'm still struggling to drink water *sigh* Kinda makes me nausous when i drink it.
I have already mapped out my walk for tomorrow. It's 3.5km, eek! Hope i can make it.
appletree, i use the taste dot com dot au website for my recipes. Theres soooo much yummy stuff on there. Just search your fav foods and it comes up with heaps.
I love the taste website, i usually do a search for diabetes friendly recipes to make sure they are going to be low fat/carbs etc and they are always delicious! Two i tried recently were the balsamic beef with kumera mash and the maple paprika chicken escalopes with pear and baby spinach yumm yumm! Good luck with your 3.5k walk, you can do it! As for water, i recently bought a brita water filter jug and just leave it on the bench with a large cup. I used to hate water unless it was really really cold, but now i just have it as is and don't seem to mind. Otherwise, how about you fill up a water bottle 1/3 of the way and freeze it overnight so you have a nice big icecube, you can refill the water bottle a couple of times before the ice melts.
Off to the gym again this morning. I might keep it simple this morning and do a 6k elliptical trainer and read my book, i don't have much time today as i am meeting a friend to go to the babes in arms session :)
Keep up the great work everyone....
Yesterday at MG i stuck with water and the nice healthy foods, then they had cake for 1 of the little girls but the mum is VERY sugar conscious so the icing was cream cheese & honey :) so i had a TINY piece.. normally i would have had a normal sized slice and then some.
We walked around the shopping centre for over an hour and half of that was pushing the trolley and carrying DD2 at the same time.
Today am off for a walk with Kate... woo hoo.
I was naughty and jumped on the scaled before... 101.3 :o
I can't have lost 2kg in a couple of days.... wont be adjusting my ticker... lol will wait til official weigh in MONDAY and see what happens...
DD1 thinks it's fun standing on the scales and she looks down and goes YAY :dance:... pmsl.
Have sent some PM's re: goals etc.. please everyone check i have your details correct.
CharlieBrownGirl - i wasn't 100% on your starting weight.. can you please confirm if you want us to list it.
I too have had a sneaky peek on the scales, but will hold off for the official weigh in on Monday
I am going to a Halloween party on Saturday and am dressing as a fairy princess. I have the wings, the glitter and the wand. So I tried on the dress at the weekend and it fits well - my wedding dress! I am so pleased I can get back into it and breathe :D
I have been resisting the urge to have a sneak peek at the scales. Otherwise i will become obsessed and weigh every day.
I'm going to check out my local gym today and see how much their membership costs. It's open 24 hours a day too which is handy.
Well my scales said I haven't changed at all grrrr
Didn't make it to the gym, DS was up overnight so 2-5am was not enough sleep for gym + work
Hopefully I can go tonight instead
LOL, you're all braver than me. I hate the scales. They're in DD's bathroom so I can avoid climbing on while my shower is heating up in my ensuite!!!
I'm feeling okay today, sore throat has been fobbed off so hoping the rain holds off so I can walk this afternoon. I'm out for lunch today so rain rain go away, come again TONIGHT WHEN WE ARE SLEEEEEEPING!!!!!
Have a good day everyone!
Ok so i went for a walk with the beautiful Kate and her DD this morning and MAN am i unfit, got half way up a hill and was like DAMN DAMN DAMN i'm unfit... BUT we stopped, had a sip of water and kept going.
We stopped a couple of times along the way for water, to look at flowers and to do things with the kids.. we also stopped and played at the park for 15-20min and for Z's tempter tantrum cos she was sooo over tired.
BUT it took roughly 1.5hrs or about 1hr 10min walking and according to run keeper we walked about 5km :o wow... imagine what we can do when we have some fitness up.... oooohhh oooohhhh ooooohhhh
:clap: Well done ZF!!
I went for an hour walk yesterday and was pretty pleased with myself. Then I got home and ate a piece of cake ... and halfway through realised...:o...DAMN!!! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ON A DIET!! AHHHHHHH ....so I through away the second half of the cake piece and went for another hour walk (and got sunburnt) :wall: Why. AM. I. SO. DUMB.?? Gahh :wall:
Haha, vent over.
:hug: hun.. your not dumb and i am refusing to use the word DIET.. this for me is a lifestyle change and you know what in LIFE there are things your allowed to enjoy every now and then... like.... CAKE.:
I have some of A's birthday cake frozen and i plan on once a week having a little bit with a tiny bit of ice cream, i mean whats the point in living if you can't enjoy the good things in it... it's all about moderation!
So think of it this way... TODAY i had a piece of cake.. tomorrow i will drink more water and eat more fruit... next week i can have another slice of cake.
You are right, ZF! It is a change of lifestyle, not a diet (I think I just say diet, because it's shorter than saying 'permanent lifestyle change'. Maybe we should call it PLC instead! Tehehe :lol:)
But I was so angry at myself, not because I ate cake, but because I didn't even realise I MADE the cake, then ATE it all without paying attention or making a conscious decision! I'm not that worried about eating *naughty* foods, as long as I made a conscious decision to ENJOY a piece of cake -not just shove it blindly into my mouth without realising! What else do I eat/drink without even noticing? Scary. Note to self: Pay attention to what you eat.
Thanks for your support :hug:
I'm off for another walk (me lurves walkin!!) But this time I'll use some sunscreen.
