Track baby track. Don't beat yourself up
just track and get back on track hun. one scone's not the end of the world, 4-5 might be pushing it! You know what you need to do chicky just refocus and get on that bike!
Not a bad day here but I didn't eat from 10-5 so I know that is terrible for my metabolism . back tomorrow- got our new king bed today! Woohoo!!!!
Sorry Belfie, no butt kicking from me, cos I'm the same. Probably a bloody good thing that exercising hard is right up my alley. though. Give yourself a break.
Yep Tan, I run with them in the pram. Nate's only just cracked 15kgs though and Holly's only little. It's a good core workout with the pram too. Gosh Izzy's petite! Darcy weighs about 27kgs (she's just turned 6). But at her height (130cm at 5.5) it's spread out and all muscle. She's SOOO strong!
WTG 3LM! I had one of those moments a couple of weeks ago when I decided I didn't need a snack every time I went to the supermarket.
Glad you've got the all clear Sopdet.
Wow Sterla the change in your face is huge as well! You look fantastic. I hope you feel amazing too.
I got up - I looked at the container of triple choc brownies sitting on the bench (STILL) - and I thought oh well, I'll have 'em if I can afford the calories. Thanks Tan!
Kim - thanks for the kind words too we can exercise hard together.
As for running in the pram, I'm the same as Tan. X is 18kg and A is 12kg + the pram. I walk them to kinder on a fri (usually) and it is 15 mins ALL up hill. I don't know how many cals it burns but I figure it's a lot.
I've been trying to work out how many cals it would be - all the calculators I find online are less than what my Runkeeper tracks me at for a walk so I figure if I add around 50 for a 30+ minute walk it might be roughly right. Do you guys add back in and eat your exercise cals? I don't but if I go a wee bit over, and I have done a good workout for the day I figure it should be okish?!!!
a brisk walk uphill should burn about 160cal plus a bit more fore the extra resistance I reckon.
Sometimes and sometimes not Tan. Yesterday I ate the extra but I also walk to/from school most days and I don't even count that bit. Depends how hungry I am and how Holly is feeding. But I get 2000 cals so usually I try to stay under that anyway.
Oh cool hun, mine is 1280 so if I exercise it's up to 1500+ and I would only eat that or more on a total blowout day like Sunday so Im not really counting it. If I go 100 over on a good exercise day I don't think I should worry!
Am off to the zoo with the kids - trying to work out what to take for me to eat other than a sandwich!
I'm going to check out the gym up the road from work today (council gym, linked to the council gym/pool nearish to home). They have a pool, so will check out how much it is for just the pool component.
I'm starting anti-gravity yoga on Thursday, no more than 5 in the class (usually 4-5 people only), the instructor is fully aware of my recent injury.
I know I just can't throw myself back 100% into the exercise, but I'm looking at options that are going to be less stress on my body. With the walking home in the afternoons, I'll walk for as long as it feels comfortable, then will catch the tram the rest of the way home.
I seriously need to look at my food, will do a plan tonight and go shopping. Might even see what I can prepare earlier so I'm stressing about what to eat, which usually means I don't eat, or I snack on things. I don't have any junk food in the house, actually I think I have biscuits in an airtight container, but I think I've had maybe 4 of them in the last week.
The only thing stopping me from eating chocolate and junk food right now is my own laziness because I so don't want to go out in the cold rainy weather. Is that a good thing or bad thing??
I want to eat because its cold and rainy and we're inside watching DVD's and I am SO tired with two sick little boys who aren't sleeping at night, and DH is on night shift for another two nights. I'm bored and lonely and my house is a mess and even though I have the time to clean it I have no motivation.
Does it make a difference if I can identify why I want to eat and why I'm not eating, when if I could be bothered to get the food I WOULD eat it....???
I know the feeling 3LM - it's times like that that I am very glad I don't have junk food in the house, cause I know I'd eat it if it was there. Not having it there in the first place is definitely a good thing. Knowing your weaknesses is a good thing . I hope your boys feel better soon and you can get through the next few days/nights without too much damage!
DH was very mean and made fudge... to take to work he said, but then he left quite a bit in the fridge at home. I was very restrained and only had two pieces. This is one of those times when it would be good if DH was making the effort to lose weight too, cause then he wouldn't be randomly making fudge and other yummy things.
I have also beaten my own personal record with how far I have ran - yesterday morning I ran 8.23km! I'm hoping to get a 9km run in soon, before the 10km race, which is quickly approaching - only 15 days to go! And then, to completely counter my run... DH and I went out for tea last night (minus the kids!) and stuffed ourselves! We never go out for tea, so it was a special treat and I wasn't about to let the ridiculous amount of calories that were probably in all the food stop me! Felt pretty gross afterwards, but omg the food was good!
The weather here isn't great today, so I'll be jumping on the bike tonight after the kids are in bed, and will hopefully get a run in tomorrow morning.
I hope everyone else is having a good (and healthy) weekend .
Sterla, you're good not eating that fudge! How inconsiderate of your DH for making it!! As for going out and eating alot, you have to sometimes. If this weight loss stuff is to be long term, we all need to fit it into the fun times too, and one day of eating crazy amounts won't necessarily be a terrible thing! We still need to enjoy food. And yay for running!! You are going so well! I hope you're extremely proud of yourself. You have done it all on your own. Well done!!!
As for me, I just get so frustrated with myself when I *know* all of that and can identify it all, but still I do what I shouldn't really do, like eat junk, or just too much. I guess it's a baby step. I must say though, yesterday I didn't cave and didn't go to buy junk. I didn't make the honey pop corn I wanted last night when DH was on night shift either. I went to bed early instead. In saying that though, I went over my fat and calorie counts with other 'healthier' foods I ate. And I haven't exercised for a few days, due to the weather (it's pouring here) and both of my boys have been pretty sick and not sleeping so I am tired, unmotivated and just plain lazy. Excuses excuses. I should have done some wii-fit, of at least just some push ups and stretches or something. I will today. Bleugh, over myself and my issues!
Sopdet, I hope your injury held out for your walk. It's so frustrating not being able to do what you know you can when you have some part of you which isn't working right! Yoga sounds great! I have a bad back and really want to start running again, but can't because it hurts too much. I would love to start swimming, but the pool here is only open in summer. One down side to living in a small remote place!
Arrgh, kids are arguing. This rainy weather is doing all of our heads in.....
Sterla that is awesome hun - my record is running 3 km non stop!! I want to get up to 5 and I think I might register for Run Melbourne to motivate myself to train!! Its in mid July. I think the thing is that if we do go out for dinner it's not about bating ourselves up, it's about knowing that this is a way we might eat for ONE meal and then go back to making good choices at other times. Im feeling like Im doing ok - really slow loss but I feel it coming off slowly and Ithink that is better than losing it really fast. I also have a relatively small amount to lose and really don't want to stack it all back on. Been ok over the weekend but so busy I haven't exercised plus I have some shocking jaw pain from I don't know what but it's killing me. Need to eat brekky and pop some Nurofen I think.
Have a great weekend ladies - off to Aldi to see if any snow gear is left!
3lm - walking home starts on Monday after work. Did a bit of wandering around yesterday, did nearly 9,000 steps which I'm happy about.
Frustrated that the injury stops me from skiing this season, don't even want to risk it. Last thing I need to do is take myself out of the fitness game for my hike because I wanted to ski this year. My boots are a snug fit so there is no way that I'll get them on until there is absolutely no swelling or mis-shapen bits on my ankle (which there are now)
Definitely not worth it Sop although I feel your pain! We are going tobogganing with the kids this year but Dh and I are desperate to get up and ski again as we haven't been since before DD was born.
I have jaw pain from tension and teeth and I pulled a back muscle earlier today so no run for me today, can hardly breathe and move. About to make some pumpkin soup for lunch/dinner and will track all day to make sure I don't blow out - was planning on a nice long run/walk today. I did the same muscle a few months ago and don't want to overstrain it and not be able to move for a week. Frustrating.
I walked 2kms home, so made it half way. I probably could have walked the rest of the way (I could see the traffic lights which mark the 1.3km mark), but I thought I best not risk it if I want to be able to walk for the rest of the week.
Bah - average day,no exercise for a few days and just made brownies to take to work tomorrow and ate more than I should have. Tomorrow will be an excellent food day, even if I won't get to exercise because I will be at work from before 8 to after 5:30 and then home and too tired to do anything, I may do my dvd if I have the energy doubtful.
Tan don't beat yourself up too much hun. Tomorrow is a new day. Start afresh. Having a bad back really sucks. I know how frustrating it is, mine is very fragile and the simplest things can throw it out because my core is so weak. Which is partly why I need to lose weight and get fit! I also get jaw pain from grinding my teeth too. It causes me to get migraines sometimes as well. You can do things to relieve it. Exercises and mouthguards and stuff like that. Though I ahven't ever done anything about mine, I just live with it.
Sopdet, yay for walking 2k's! You will be back to walking your full route in no time I'm sure!
I have been going ok. Not great but not as well as I could be. I started the c25k again yesterday, though it was a pretty half hearted effort and I didn't do it properly. But it's a start! I have been eating alot the past few days because of really cold and rainy weather and we have been cooped up inside for days! Though I have been making good choices with food and focusing on if I'm hungry or not and I will drink something (water/tea/coffee/green tea) instead sometimes.....lets just say I have been rather well hydrated the past few days! So all in all, I have been doing fairly well I guess. Using some friends I have who are doing the same thing to stay motivated and focused. Reading blogs of people who have ad are doing what I want to/am as well.
So I'm just siting next to the wagon... After falling off it!
Gained 0.6kg on sun and haven't done all that well since. Plus got up to run #4 in c25k and hips flared up badly, boo. So tomoz, back on the wagon. My PT will weigh me next tues, so there's incentive to put in a good week till then!! And even if I can't run, there's other stuff I can do!
Belfie: Well, the important thing is that you're back on the wagon, and with minimal damage!
3LM: You really sound like you're on you the right track. It takes a lot to retrain yourself and get out of those bad habits. I still struggle, but have learnt not to beat myself up as that was where I'd usually fall off the wagon. It's a lifestyle change, not a quick fix - so it takes a lot of mental preparation and practice to get it right. You'll get there hun .
Tan: Hope you got that DVD in .
Sopdet: That's great you're back into walking. Hope you're foot was okay afterwards.
AFM: Eleven days till the big 10km race! I'm kinda looking forward to it. I'm hoping to attempt a 9km run this week or next, but other than that I'll just keep doing what I usually do. Managed a 7km run this morning, though somewhere along the way my toe nail started digging into the next toe. It was mildly annoying while I was running, but then when I got home and took my shoe off there was blood everywhere. Needless to say I have since cut my toe nails!
though. Give yourself a break.
we can exercise hard together.
