Bel you are an inspiration babe!!! Awesome!!!! How are you finding Zumba dvds?? I have one called Sculpt and Tone and I did it last night and I did my back/hip You have to use weights which I guess I shouldn't have but I thought a can of condensed milk would be ok but it's so fast even with weights - will definitely do it again but without the weights methinks! I wish I had a HRM so I could work out how many cals I am burning more accurately!
Have a great weekend everyone - stay strong, I know weekends are tough for me but am hoping I can make some healthy choices when we go out for dinner and drinks tonight ....and leave myself lots of room for some red
Wooohooooo to you belfie!!!!! So many woo hoo's!! Get thee to the "small clothes tubs!!!" lol I have a big bag, one day i will be game to go through it!!!! When I think some of it might actually fit!!!!
What a marathon!!!! I so should have logged in here last night!! The kids went to bed at a reasonable time, except I had already had a shower, so last night I opted for a good nights rest instead of excercise!! If I had of seen your inspirational post I most likely would have gotten of my butt and hopped on the bike!!! I havent hopped on the scales today yet to see if that was a bad choice or not!!! But you have inspired me to get right into it today!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANSTAR!!!!!- Enjoy yourself tonight!!! You only get one birthday a year, and 364-odd days to make up for it!!!
Mildez.. Slow and steady on the bike is good!! I started only doing about 6 minutes at a time, but really going hard.. now i go for longer but i take it a bit easier!! You will get there! Yo uand your bike will become good friends!! Oh one thing i noticed after being on it longer, my butt hurts!!! lol
Sterla... Good luck on your weigh in today!!!!
I have to go change two lovely nappies!! I will be back later to tell of my wonderful excercising today!!!!
I weighed in this morning... 2.4kg lost and 1.5cm off my waist! Not sure how accurate it is, as last Saturday morning I had eaten heaps of junk the night before so may have weighed a bit more because of it. Either that or just the little bit if exercise and healthy eating has made a huge difference!
Daily intake so far (after dinner) is 1070 and I have done 30ds (web sites estimate it at 180 cal burn for a 70kg person)
DH bought some clinkers for us for movie and lollie night, 6clinkers is 103cal, would you do it?????
Happy birthday Tan, I hope you have had a fabulous day xx
Woohoo Sterla on the loss...just a little word of advice though, go slowly whilst BFing hun. Calorie King has me on 8300kj and 45g fat per day. Somedays I am struggling to meet those requirements, like today. I just had a mars bar and I still have kj's left!
3LM: I have been a little worried about that. I'm not counting calories, just trying to eat healthier but I do sometimes wonder if I've had enough for the day. It's such a difficult balancing act when b/f!
I started the same way for a little while, and then when I started doing CK, I realised how little food I was actually eating, I was eating like I had been when not bfing, and it was way too little kj's, fat and protien in particular. DS2 's fussiness was likely because my milk wasn't so great, or my supply was dwindling, and not just him, or teething, or things like that which I was blaming it on. It might be worth it for you to just make sure you're eating enough kj's. Maybe just check/write down what you eat for a week or so and how many kj's you eat a day just to make sure it's enough. Losing weight isn't worth losing your milk. And YES! It is a huge balancing act!!
Sj.. I would do it.. if six clinkers once a week is your vice.. then so be it!!!!
I didnt weigh yesterday- but i did today and i am down another 800 grams!! Woo hoo!!! Thats a total of 3.1kgs since i started nearly two weeks ago!! I am half way to my first goal!!!!! My lovely wii tells me i am actually 81... lol but i know its wrong!! I am stoked!! I am not doing any measurements until the end of the six weeks for the fatchicslim challange, so i can see a real difference!
I should weigh today, but I don't think I will. AF is here and I feel terribly bloated and horrible! I measured myself yesterday, and my god, how depressingly embarrassing. I am so ashamed. I am at least 10cm bigger everywhere than the last time I measured, which was about 4yrs ago, lol! But that is terrible. It was a bit of a wake up call. I have to shift this weight!!!!!
Right some quite time so that i can get on the computer, so i will try and do some personals - sorry if i miss anyone
3LM go easy on yourself hun, 4 years is a long time and having children in that time really does change things... maybe not such a great idea to measure when AF is here as you hold more water and get bloated (although you may see a nice loss in a few days this way )
Sterla It is really tricky getting it right with BF and weight loss, thats why i started counting again, i am finding it much easier to know that i am getting enough of the right things. Interestingly enough i am swapping things (rice for salads etc) with meals and i am feeling just as ful (big salads) but i am staying under 1500cal for the day - the only time that i find that my milk struggles is when i dont drink enough water - i am using more now i am exercising more, so am conscious of that. Well done on the loss you are right, a little bit extra exercise (especially if it gets your heart rate up) does make a difference
Starbright I ate the clinkers, but i actually only ate 5 of them as i gave one to DH... and you are right, it felt like a real treat and i think that i will do the lollie selection next week so there is something that i can treat myself with, without feeling guity
Tan Hope you enjoyed your birthday and enjoyed our red
Belfie you are an inspiration!
