Still going good on the exercise front & ave a couple of girls from work joining me which is awesome... Have my first 5km organised walk on Sunday & hopefully will be able to do the next 3 weekends aswell (a 4 week series in my area)... then not long till the Duathlon (20th March)!!!
Tammie... awesome work on your weight loss... thats awesome...... keep up the good work... you will get there.... good things take time (thats what I keep telling myself lol)...
Have a great weekend everyone...
Catch up on monday, hopefully with another loss....
JBM - you mightn't se the scale move straight away as your body could be adjusting to the new diet so dont be too disheartened.
AFM I'm going to be ashamed to put my weight up tomorrow. Diet been crap few days, AF showed up this morning which I'm not happy bout anyway back on the wagon!!
No scale movement for me this week but my pants are a little looser lol...
Did a 5km walk today with a couple of friends & I did it in 30 mins & there were a few steep bits too lol...
Heres hoping my legs forgive me in the morning...
Must try & eat NO naughty foods this week... that is my mission.... Plus Day1 of non-smoking tomorrow... oh boy wish me luck!!!!
I am weighing in tomorrow morning but I have had a shocker of a week, I was at a course all week and it was stressful and they provided us with BROWNIES every day for mornign tea - I have NO self control. Anyway, the 6 days is over, I passed and got my accreditation and now am back on it! I have my treadmill here now so will get on when the kids nap tomorrow.
Hoping for a bit of a loss tomorrow morning will see how I go - other than morning tea I had sushi for lunch each day and healthy dinners, and although I didn't do any formal exercise we had movement and dance sessions at the course!
Good luck this week everyone - new week new start!
JBM - Im not sure how much you have lost til now but I found that I always plateau and it's hard to stay motivated but hang in there.
Ngala - I had a bad night this week too and we ate RR for dinner - horrible but I just write it off and tell myself I will start again, one bad day doesn't make a bad week or month. xoxo
Tanstar - I can't resist anything chocolate-y either.... That's one of my big diet difficulties.
I'm not looking forward to weighing in the morning. Even though I'm new to this group, I've been dieting for 5 mths and am struggling to be as strict as I was in the beginning months. I'm also due to get my period and am starting to bloat... I sometimes gain up to 1.5-2nd while I have my period so any loss will be positive this Monday and next!
Sounds like some of us have had a tough week but that's ok cause it's the start if a new week and a good time to get serious again!
Tammie - when I was on bcp I used to drop 1-1.5kg before AF but now off it I think I gain it!! will see tomorrow with weigh in if its true as AF is here..
Ok so I have weighed in and lost 200grams so not tooooo bad in the whole scheme of brownies Back on it this week and summoning up some healthy ideas for school next week - we have wicked Wednesday and of course I work on a Wednesday and there is rarely any sight of anything healthy so I will have to use all my self control to hold back from the scrummy food everyone makes. Back to exercising every day too, I really missed it last week, today will be C25K on the treadmill once kids are napping. Raining here in Melbourne blergh. Have a great Monday all! xox
Well down Tan! 200g is good considering you had a bad week!
I am quite embarrassed to admit this and I cant really believe it myself! but here goes..........................
74kg
How embarrassing for me!! 2kg gain. Oh my gosh.. Theres a lot of factors to consider with this gain - period is here, had a sausage sizzle yesterday and enjoyed some beverages, and crappy week with the food. My gut is sore today too so thats not good - too many bread rolls yesterday!!
So, better brush myself off and get back on the wagon.
Ngala - don't stress about the gain. Im the same with AF. Weight loss is so hard around that time.
I weighed this morning.... 3 times with 3 different results. Anything between 104.0 - 104.5. I am going to claim the 104.0.... It's only a 400g loss since thurs but as I said before, better than nothing.
We have visitors coming tomorrow and staying until Sunday which is going to make this week really hard, I'll try to be good though (or good-ish).
I was talking to my trainer about my lack of control with eating at the end of my menstrual cycle and he told me to remove all temptation out of the house so I wont have my pig out! He also thinks that if I mix a bit with the 'bad' with my good diet that it should matter too much. My problem is that the bad is in the evening after work and that is the worst time for carbs! But everything changes next week when I stop working. My plan of attack is as follows...
Monday - PT session
Tuesday - RPM
Wednesday - PT session
Thursday - Body Pump
Friday - Cycle six pack
Thats a crazy amount of exercise isnt it?! But I have GOT to do it cause its the only way I am going to have control of myself not working cause I'll be at home with all my temptation screaming at me to eat it!
well i di almost 10,000 steps yesterday and i worked all day which is a sitting down job. i had only done 4500 steps when i got home about 5 pm so i just moved around heaps, watered garden, kept moving til i did 9600 for the day.
i can do it when i want to. now i just need to be extra good with food.
Well done, Tan, a loss is a loss and I'd claim it if I were you!
JBM, 9600 steps is fantastic, great job!
AFM, I did weigh yesterday and I was... 78.3kg!! Exactly the same as the past 2 weeks! Still, I'm a little surprised I didn't gain because I had a very slack week with little exercise and pretty crap eating. On a positive note, my big kids are back at school next week (sniff sniff) and I went to the gym yesterday - not to exercise! - but to book the creche for next week. So, I'm booked in for Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri. OMG... I'll be buggered! Hope Miss P settles alright, she is a big mumma's girl already! My plan is to go to the gym Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri... which leaves Wed for the Babes in Arms movie sessions which I love! If I exercise I know I will also eat better so i don't waste all that effort.
So ladies, one more week of slack arse for me, then I'm into it in a big way! Hope you are all doing better than I am!
Wow V that is a huge load of exercise! Make sure you don't get an injury hun. Yay for your 800g loss, I know what you mean about AF - I get SO bloated I always feel like I have stacked on weight but usually haven't - not a nice feeling though looking and feeling 6 mths pg!!
I drove down to Warrandyte this morning and had a nice walk along the river pushing 40kgs of kids. about 30 mins/3kms all up and am going to do my Jillian dvd once the kids go to bed shortly! Yay! The more I do the more I want to do, I forgot how good exercise makes you feel.
I weighed in at the same weight as last week. I was doing really well at the start of the week but didn't do much exercise towards the end and my eating was a bit out of whack too. Back on the bandwagon this week and aiming to lose at least 500g!
Morning!
Jumped on the scales again this morning and weighed 73.2kg so a "loss" of 800g. But not really cause the gain was from AF. It's amazing and annoying how much weight fluctuates with AF
Well I've been rather unwell today so thought I'd weigh (just out of curiosity). I came in at 103.3 which is about 700g from yesterday....
I know it's all due to illness but hopefully it's still a little higher than usual as I have AF and typically gain about an extra 1kg. Just have to not put it back on when I can eat again!
We have visitors flying in tonight until Sunday so hopefully I can still eat reasonably and lose a little more.
72.8kg this morning.. another 'loss' of 400g since yesterday. I am hoping to drop the exta 800g by the end of this week and try and get down to 71kg by the end of the first week of February. I am pretty sure I could do the 1kg loss in a week!
anyway back on the wagon!!
and got my accreditation and now am back on it! I have my treadmill here now so will get on when the kids nap tomorrow. 
will see tomorrow with weigh in if its true as AF is here..
Back on it this week and summoning up some healthy ideas for school next week - we have wicked Wednesday and of course I work on a Wednesday and there is rarely any sight of anything healthy so I will have to use all my self control to hold back from the scrummy food everyone makes.
