I have a confession..I seriously considered dropping out of the challenge...I'm just finding it really hard to stick to eating healthily and not snacking on junk, hence why I didn't lose anything...Wii Fit kept telling me I'd lost a bit but then the next time I weighed in it would be back up again so I think it just depended on the time of day i was doing it. Haven't measured myself but I'm guessing it would still be the same.
I know I want to lose the baby weight, and I don't have all that much to get rid of, it's just sticking with eating properly that I think is tripping me up. I am addicted to chocolate which doesn't help, and DF isn't that supportive despite saying to me that if I wanted to lose the weight I could (and yeah showing me a pic of your "hot" cousin who has 3 kids but doesn't look it and has lost 23 kg in 7 months then telling me I could do it just as easily (not that I have that much to lose) doesn't really help!)
Sorry for the pity post...I really want to be happy with the way I look but can't seem to find the motivation for long enough to actually do something about it. I do exercise most days, taking the dog for a walk and pushing the pram for at least an hour, plus walking to the shops if I have to go there, I carry DD around a fair bit and have been doing the Wii Fit challenge, but obviously that's not enough if I keep eating the way I do.
SS...please don't give up! You are fitting in lots of great excercise
Maybe you could set yourself some small goals this week eg, if you snack a lot between meals on 'bad' food, maybe you could just reduce the amount that you snack on? Or you could try to have one good day and then allow yourself a treat or 2 the following day? Before you know it, you will have started to break some bad habits and will feel much better.
I have a long way to go and have developed some really bad snacking habits after having DS and found myself eating icecream or chocolate every night I have not forbidden myself from eating them but have really tried to cut down the amount that I eat if I do have some and to make sure that it is not every night.
I also find that reading what everyone else is up to really keeps me on track and motivates me.
Well done everyone on your losses - I feel a bit flat this week but I will get back on the wagon as I have a 100km bike ride to do this weekend - eeeek!!!
SS babe, hang in there. Even a tiny change every day makes a difference. Exercise was the main hangup for lots of us, so you're ahead of the race anyway.
Geez girls we all did great! I can't believe I lost 3cms!!! I just hope I measured properly....especially considering I was on day 1 of AF when I measured! lol Bring on week 2, hope I have just as good a week!
Looks like we are going to Fiji in September!!!!!! WOOHOO! Even more reason to get into shape for a beach holiday with lots of swimming. Not booked yet but we have the quotes done and it is a lot cheaper than we thought it would be!
Now if that is not motivation I dont know what is! LOL
Well yesterday I was still too sore to go for a jog so I got on the exercise bike and did a 30 min program with hills. It was pretty hard but I was happy with how I went because I pumped my arms as well and really felt the session. Tonight I have soccer training so it will interesting to see how my calf handles it. Fingers crossed with a good warm up I will be fine.
Started counting calories and so far am doing fine. Have a big headache today so I think my body might be detoxing a little.
OK. Catch up tomorrow!
Bella: That is awesome! What a great motivator for you!!!
Went to the gym this morning for our personal program thing. Didn't work up much of a sweat, it was more showing us all the equipment and what we would be doing. I think we are planning on taking classes a few mornings a week, and working out in the gym a few nights a week.
I came home and ended up doing my aerobics DVD since I didn't really feel like I'd worked out. Nice a sweaty and gross now, lol.
