The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 5!

[Amity]

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've just gotten back from an INCREDIBLE weekend, ate healthy all weekend, did exercise, got to cuddle a horse, fed my soul!

[queenbee]

i doubt i will lose any this week. i need to get back on track after a bad couple of days! i have been having some wine, malibu and diet coke and we had take away thai last night. we never eat take away! AF is coming i think (well i am 6 days late) but i have big sugar cravings when they are almost here! this is the first time i have really come off track actually. i've been doing so well and now i am super disappointed

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!

I love the biggest loser too, even though the program they keep to is completely unrealistic for real life. It is inspirational, makes me want to get moving.

Well teething is over for the moment and I actually got 7 hrs sleep last night, YAY! I'm am writing out an exercise program for the week and I intend to stick to it. I'm full of motivation to get myself back on track.

Ali, that's great that you got to have that talk, yay for the ed. dept taking that step. I so agree with the exercise in the morning. If I haven't done anything by 10am, I'm less likely to.

Yay for another week!

[Laranna]

Dang I missed the biggest loser! I was outside doing some gardening before it got too dark! I guess that counts as some light exercise then Did about 25 minutes on my elliptical trainer this morning and it was awesome. I love that feeling you get when you've had a good workout and you're hot and sweaty and feel energised

ATM am caving and made that 5 minute chocolate mug cake that was in another thread It is yum and I am sharing it with DP

[AmandaJ]

Lucy I'm another one that cried watching the biggest loser.

Hoody I made that not potato that you put up the other week and all I can say is yummmmy.

I've had a bad day, had a late breakfast and then no lunch and late dinner. But I did go for a walk so am happy with that, really hoping that I lose something this week otherwise I'm going to be very disappointed.

hugs xoxo

Hi all,

Everyone is going so well!

I went out on Saturday night and drank too much (again ) and was craving a meat pie after that so I indulged a little!! Went for a big walk yesterday but I think I have pulled my hamstring so I have to slow down a bit.

I have a resistance training band which I could use - does anyone else do this? What are some good exercises?

[AngelPunks]

I have my gym gear packed and am going to the gym either at lunchtime or late afternoon!

I have an incredible life at the moment and my fantastic body is just a small part of that

[queenbee]

Amy, ah well, one meat pie isn't going to hurt too much! I bet it was good. I haven't had one in years. Love the taste of them! Everyone is doing well except me! HAHAHA, I've been drinking too much myself, not getting drunk, just having two glasses instead of one every night!
