Wow, thanks so much ladies. It's taken a while for me to become comfortable giving people access to my blog and even talking about my actual weight and figures on there. It's been a hard road I guess, but being on the other side of that first 30kgs it seems like it was easy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I blog for myself mainly. I want to show myself where I've been and how far I've come and hopefully keep myself on track especially on those days where I'm feeling hopeless. I also wanted to inspire and encourage others who have been where I have and show them that it CAN be done.
Receiving comments such as yours is something that really humbles me and shows me that I'm doing the right thing. It also really encourages me to continue which is exactly what I need right now. So thank you!!
Welcome PP! I'm a newbie to this forum too, so we can be newbies together. LOL All the best for your weightloss journey! Can't wait to see how well you go!
Astrid 4.4kgs is fantastic!!! Well done!
Christy 1kg loss for a week is awesome! Well done! I'm sure you'll hit your goal in no time!
Lysndan - water. I never used to drink any! I'd drink a glass of milk and maybe a soft drink each day and that was it. Terrible! I now try and make myself drink at least 3 litres of water a day, but if I get to the end of the day and I've had 2 litres I'm happy enough with that. I have found that I really only like COLD water. I can't do warmish water, I can't do room temp water, it's chilled water or no water (unless I've been training hard, where I will drink whatever water is available to me). You could always have a touch of cordial with your water to sweeten it a little, or you could have cups of tea which is still counting towards your water intake for the day. Green tea is apparently the best, although I am not a huge fan personally (I should just drink it and deal with it).
My first few days of drinking water really was forcing myself. I don't dislike water, I just wasn't used to drinking such large quantities. My body on the other hand, LOVED it! Such a good way to flush it out. I immediately felt the benefits of drinking lots of water, so I kept with it. I do have the occasional fizzy drink or alcoholic beverage when out, but most of the time all I crave now is water.
Sorry if that's no help. lol
Hi everyone else!
Had strength training last night that I didn't burn my full amount of calories for (although lifting weights means my body will burn for several hours after I 'stop'). Tonight I'm planning on my short 8km walk/jog to try and overcome my calorie burn defecit yesterday. I'm also going to try my hardest to eat well today. I ate like a champion yesterday until DH came home with CHIPS!!! I couldn't help myself (I could... I was just giving myself permission and using excuses) and I ate 2 handfuls which is better than consuming the whole packet, but I felt so guilty afterwards.
Today I'm GOING to eat well and the chips are gone after hubby finished them last night so there are no more temptations.
