The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 5!

[krysalyss]

Thanks QB! I ended up adding the 2kg on that I lost in the week before the challenge started. I wasn't going to originally but then thought why not?!? So 3.5kg since the challenge started. As I lose weight I keep thinking "this was the weight I was when I .....". Can't wait for the "this is the healthiest I have even been" feeling.

Isn't it good when you think "this is the weight I was when...."

I am 2 kilos lighter now than what I was just before I fell PG with our DD. So that's great!

Wow that is awesome!! I definitely can't wait for that moment!

Well done to all of you

Sorry for the lack of posts recently having some major marriage issues I have still been eating well but not really exercising but hoping to get back on track this weekend. It doesnt help my gym buddy is over east for the week. I had started my period on weigh in day and only showed a 100g loss but now AF is at her end i am feeling alot thinner so was naughty and got on the scales. It shows a 1kg loss since wed so i am thinking i lost more last week than the 100g last week but i was holding lots of fluid. That means i've lost 5.1kg since starting the challenge and have only 4.9kg to go. OMGoodness i am over half way there and it feels awesome. I no longer think of this as a diet iykwim. I am actually making healthy choices without thinking about it. My lifestyle is changing. Lots of little changes too such as when i go shopping i park further away so i have to walk more further through the car park, I make more of an effort to play physical games with DD's if they ask for a movie i offer the park instead or to go jump on the trampoline with her etc just so i dont find myself sitting on my bottom too much.

I have had ppl start to notice and comment on my muffing top and face which is nice too.

Well have healthy and fun weekends everyone.

OKay it's been avery very bad day for me today.

The worst since I started to get healthy.

I've had (breakfast) two croissants and two coffees. Morning tea nothing. LUnch a small tin of spaghetti and two slices of white bread and butter. (Not so bad up to here).

Went swimming with the kids and had a large Python. Then we stopped at Maccas on the way home. And I had a Big Mac meal with diet coke, followed by a coffee and muffin, followed by eating DS2's cone...

And I feel SICK SICK SICK!

I think it's days like these that remind me of how far I've come. Before this year, I would have eaten it all and though nothing of it... now I feel truly ill.

So I'm getting healthier... back on track now! No more bad!

Div, You said it there babe, and this awareness will mean that this is the year that you WILL suceed in getting healthy!

We had a sausage sizzle for dinner and I felt so guilty as they were "normal" butchers sausages (ie full fat) as they were the only ones left in the freezer instead of the lean 98% fat free lean steak ones I have been buying.

I started to feel guilty until DH said "Relax...it used to be that this is ALL you ate, with loads of slices of white bread spread with butter and onions fried in oil, and full fat mayo, along with a glass of wine or six or a huge glass of coke. Now you are having a sausage and salad. Its fine."

Ali, your bloke that spoke at work: he sounds like he has his head screwed on! I have noticed that since other people are associating me with "fit things" (ie freinds and family acknoledge that I now run for my hobby) that I have changed my perception of myself as well. Sad that it takes other peoples view to convince myself, but I'll admit to having to suck that one up: its just the way I am manufactured, LOL!

Ummmmmmmmm.Very quiet in here girls?

I just finished watching "The Biggest Loser"and CRIED my eyes out, LOL!

I'll be honest, I LOVE THE BIGGEST LOSER. I find it the ultimate in inspiration.

And tomorrow at 6am I go back to personal training.

SO, let's hope I get my fitness mojo back!

i'm watching the biggest loser. I know this is a bit off topic, but half the contestants had to row. Thats fine, but the ppl were sunburnt ! How irresponsible that Biggest Loser to not offer sunscreen. They may have had it there, but the sunburn ... Oh dear.

Good on them for knocking back the food! My only issuse with that was, food wastage. There are hungry ppl out there. Ppl living on food parcels week to week.

I had a bad day today, food wise. Didn't eat breaky(had a curly wurly - 2.5 pts) but a pub lunch. It was a steak sandwich with chips. With what info i was armed with, it still ended up being huge in pts. At least it was filling enough that im not hungry for dinner. 2.5pts over today, but had squirrelled away 1.5 from yesterday. So, not too bad. Looking forward to weigh in on wednesday! Im gonna buy the shopping and eating out guide so im more informed - especially when we leave for sydney thursday.

Hope your weekends went well!
