Diet & Weight loss support #4

[Cherished]

Hi girls, just wanted to drop in and wish you all will power and a little encouragment today

I have to say that I am totally impressed with myself, I got up this morning and made a fresh juice and than had half a hot cross bun. Don't even really feel like chocolate (which is strange)? On a separate note I am hoping we have conceived and I am pg now so choc wont be that great for bubs if there is one (or two) in there

Anyway I hope you all enjoy the day and aren't struggling too much!

Ooooh... fingers crossed for you Cherish! You've been so good today! I had two fruitless hot cross buns for b'fast... and a little egg (the hard ones)... and I've had two of the next size up. DD offered me one of her eggs and I said no and (get this!) DH gave me a huge lecture about how rude I am because DD is sharing! so I relented! Now he is down on the treadmill (he ate 2 little eggs, 3 the next size up, three hot cross buns). I'm going for a big walk this afternoon with DD (she needs to burn some energy!) and then on the treadmill later... We were going to have spag bol for dinner... think we might have chicken stir fry instead...

Easter is wicked!

Ohhhh Mother Goose you have done SO WELL!!! I'm lucky DH is so supportive (some times TOOOOOO supportive,when I want to slack off a bit!) He is so supportive to the point where if he wants pizza,chocolate, wine etc and I feel like I can't really afford to have it than he wont have it BLESS HIM

He never buys me easter eggs and I usually buy a few for both of us but because I'd already eaten a few during the week I didn't get any, feeling good about it today.

Well done again!

hi girls i am still here. we went away camping for the week after easter and i got the flu ( from DH), also had AF and to top it off burnt myself on camp fire. doing well.
i am still not better.
had a headache, and just feeling so tired. to top it off i have to work tomorrow as i can't get hold of anyone to say i am sick ?! arggggg

i don't know what i have been eating but i havn't been real good. dh has been doing a bit but some toasted sangas a few times isn't good 4 me.

hope to get back on track this week as i have a personal training session on thursday.

hope you guys are being better .

JBM - sounds like you've had a rough trott!!! Speedy recovery wishes to you hon!

I'm actually sitting here feeling BLERG right now. Just feel so drained and nauseated... I'm def not PG, last days of AF... had a Macca's (small) meal today so it is probably that. I just want to sleep in the sun out of the wind... maybe I'm coming down with something. Who knows. I've been doing ok otherwise. Eating is perfect but it is 10000 times better than the old me. AND I've been doing well on my treadmill. I'm very happy with that. I have a PT session Tuesday morning... feeling sick about that too...

Hope you feel better soon hon.

awwwww girls big hugs to both of you

JBM I hope work wasn't too rough with you! How's your bad luck camping!!! We are heading off camping for 3nights this coming weekend so I hope I have a better time than you did.

Mother Goose I am not pg either got af yesterday can't wait to ttc again this cycle!!!

AFM on the weight loss front.... I haven't weighed myself for ages but my clothes are getting looser, strangley I can particularly tell in my underwear! They were getting pretty tight and I thought I was going to need to go and buy larger ones heheheh

I've gotta say again that I highly recommend the Gabriel Method book. It's an easy read and it all makes so much sense that you will want to keep reading (this is coming from someone who is lucky to read one book a year) There is a cd which he has that he recommends you listen to every night so DH downloaded it from the website onto his mp3 player for me and I fall asleep before it even finishes. I don't know everything that it says on there but since the 1st time I listened to it I get up in the mornings with so much energy and I 'want' to eat well. I have nearly done everything that I have been 'putting off' around the house too which feels great!

Anyway don't forget to rest if you are sick, working out too much will only make you feel worse

Alright girls, move over and let me park this housebeast of a rear end! lol Time to get motivated and drop a few kgs seem I have named this year 'my year'...so far it has been about everyone else!

Mothergoose - must start with you. The quote you have from Sara Henderson - RIGHT ON! I have always beleived there is a light at the end of the tunnel and always tell people that when times are tough. Having read that quote, enspired me to join this thread and do something about my post 2 babies body. also, today is my 15 yr annivesary with DH (even though he really is my DP but after 15 years......) and I was an 8 when we first started going out and now I hover around 12 / 14. eeeek!

Anyways I am 65kg - 67kg which thankfully is what I was when I fell preggas last time...but 5 up from what I was the first time I fell preggas 2.5 yrs ago.

I am a sahm so really time is no constraint, it is all the reasons I come up with not to do some exercise - have to do the washing, DS2 has to have a sleep, it cold, wet, hot daylight or too early! The dog could do with a walk too. lol

I cook reasonably well, but have become lazy since DS2 was born, well not lazy just feel too darn tired to cook sometimes....enter KFC!

I try to have my 2L of water most days but like today, find myself fueling up on coffee due to late night / early morning today and feeling abit blah due to sinus. Should be drowning myself in water as I know it will help clear up the snot! lol

I know I can easily drop a few kgs asI have done it before a few yrs ago. Walked every night after work, increasing distance every few days, ate three meals plus fruit / yoghurt for morning and arvo tea.

I think my prob most days is lack of motivation / laziness / can't be bothered!

Soooo, someone put a bomb under my butt perlease!!!!!

Thanks for reading.
