2010 Summer/Christmas Challenge

[Antheia]

Well i i've lost 700g this week. A loss is a loss i suppose.

I joined the gym this morning and will be doing my first workout tonight. I'm going to go after breakfast and after dinner every day. I love the gym. So much better than just walking around the streets.

[Antheia]

I may not have lost much weight but i just measured myself and have lost 8cms off my waist and 4cms off my hips. Wow, i'm impressed.

[Raupe]

So, another update. Went for an 30min fast walk before breakfast, soo peaceful and quiet! Had a salad for lunch and another salad for dinner and managed another hour walk in the afternoon. Let's hope this week is going to be a bit better!

Staaaaayyyy motivated!!!

[rufalina]

All I can say is ZUMBA!!! Went again tonight and love it more each time. I am still as unco as ever, but who cares. Fun, good workout. Going to try and get to do some weights tomorrow, but DS2 is a little sick, so if he isnt well, then no creche for him, so will have to improvise at home.

Kim - my weakness is chocolate. And I admit, I allow myself a little each day... But just a tiny bit... If I didn't the craving would build up so much that I binge on it... sounds terrible doesn't it... I will try to get to the point where I don't eat it, but for now, small steps...

Good work Raupe!!! Keep up that walking.

xo

Wow Antheia, that's fantastic!!

That's my favourite time of the day to walk Raupe.

lol Ruf, we don't even have Zumba here yet...but I will get to have a go one day. I'm the same with the treats though. I can't be totally rigid or I feel like I need to rebel. Have to say though, I love to cook and healthy food can taste phenomenal, so I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing....just waiting for my (fussy stodgy food eating) guests to go.
Since DH is away we'll be mainly having vegetarian food and I cannot wait....my poor kidneys do not need so much meat.

[Antheia]

I went to the gym tonight. I did 21kms on the bike and 1.6km on the treadmill. Such a high. I love it!

[Pandora]

Well, mine went UP! Grrr not happy.
Might have to pull out my dressmaking tape and do measurements as well, that way at least I will know if *something* is going in the right direction.

Was going to try to get to the gym today but DH is sick so we shall see.

[Raupe]

Pandora
Have you exercised a lot? Remember muscle is heavier than fat! So I second the measuring tape. Otherwise don't worry, there's always this week!

[Traveller]

I have been naughty all weekend and again today (maccas for breakfast). However I am going to put that maccas into my calorie counter and intend to stick to my goals today. It will mean eating nothing but healthy food for the rest of the day but I think it can be done. Onwards and ....well not upwards but you get the gist.

Congrats to everyone and their wonderful start to the challenge! Are we having a weekly weigh in winner? ZF, I'm on my phone so can't see how much you lost? Sounds like a good weigh in though!

I am away on holidays at the moment so jumped on some unfamiliar scales this morning fully clothed and it said I had lost 3kgs! Hope it's right! Will have to wait for next weeks weigh in for an accurate one though

Ok everyone i will be doing an UPDATE but i am still waiting on some people to confirm their stats etc, please check the update and confirm i have all your details correct.. i have opened a spreadsheet to make it easier on myself to copy & paste so if you can PM me your details when you weigh in i can update a little easier without trawling the thread.

Looks like everyone is doing well, weight loss or not were all working towards a goal and thats what matters

Remember: A LOSS IS A LOSS no matter how big or small.

Pandora hun keep working hard, were all here for you and we know your doing a great job.. maybe those muscles are getting more of a workout and your 'bulking up'

Keep up the great work everyone, i am REALLY enjoying hearing how everyone is going and knowing i have some support and handy tips here when i need them.

[Raupe]

Well done ZF and well done EVERYONE!!!

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Aww thanks hun i can't believe it.. walking and eating a MORE (yes thats right) has actually helped.

I would normally only eat breakfas, lunch & tea and possibly the worst snacks when i was in the car etc, now i'm eating all my normal fruit but spread out over the day... YAY

[Antheia]

I went to the gym tonight and did 25.5kms on the bike and 2.39kms walking. Man i am sore! Might take a rest day tomorrow and just do the whole housework or something as my exercise.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Morning everyone, how are we all after CUP DAY?
I need to work off some of the food i ate yesterday, was only cheese & crackers etc but still.. got a bit of housework to do this morning BUT if the sun stays out i might head into town for a walk after DD2's morning nap, maybe pack a lunch and finish up at the park for a picnic.

[Traveller]

well done everyone on a brilliant week

I am having a rotten week. I've been a bit emotional and have turned to food (even refusing to track my diary online because I am ashamed)

but that was yesterday...today WILL be better
