Diet & Weight loss support #4

[Cherished]

Hello my lovelies You are all doing so well!

Vixstar well done on your night out... It can be tricky! I go out for dinner heaps (to restaurants) I've found places like indian or thai great because I can share with DH and have a bit of everything so I feel like I've had lots of treats AND I fill up on the main (and entree) and than don't go for dessert at all I also fill up on less food than at home because I tend to eat slower when we are at a restaurant too.... Chiro is great! I have an adjustment every week and would live without them! I also get a massage at least every 2 weeks and acupuncture around once a month along with many other things...

Mother Goose I've spent a lot of time in the gym over the years (when I was addicted to it and looked hot ) and I can tell you that a personal trainer may be the expert in the theroy of what is best for your body to loose weight and tone up BUT you are the expert on your body... Don't let them push you beyond your limits, you're right, who can afford an injury... Than the weight loss journey will be even slower.

JBM That is a great weight loss of 700g!

AFM I am still totally slack! Still full of good intentions... You girls are very inspiring so thankyou! I will be doing a workout on Friday, Sat, Sun & Monday and I think I will try to do at least 'something' every day even if it's just a 15min walk on the treadmil... They say that if you do something for 21 days in a row it is then a habit! so

Just a quickie today - feel like crap again.

On a good note though, I went for a 2 hr walk on Wednesday plus another 20 mins in the arvo but at a much slower pace as I had a 2 yr old walking along side me. All good though.

JBM - oh that lady sounds nasty! Good on you for not paying and yes sometimes the devil you know is the better one in terms of your old PT.

cherished1 - 21 days in a row!!!!!!! Oh dear, I have many 21 days to go at this stage. lol

Keep going girls.

well it was too good to be true, i gained 200g this week, so still a loss of 500g over last 2 weeks. i am still not well, had runny nose all week, so sore from blowing and wiping, i have dry cracked skin on end of nose. yuk.
i have been too tired to really do any good eating, but had a salad yesterday for lunch and was very proud of that.
try to get back on track a bit next week.
i don't like feeling yuk !. no ones does i am sure

good luck to my friends and keep us posted.

Oh JBM - I'm so sorry you're not well. 500g in 2 weeks is still ace though hon! I can only dream of that at the moment! I've been stable for 2 weeks - no gain and no loss. D is miffed. He keeps at me about my diet, but, the reality is, even though I can still make improvements - it is a million times better than it was so I SHOULD be losing weight! Have to try and step up the cardio...

Vix - well done on the walking!

Cherish - I think your theory about doing something for 21 days becoming habit is true. When I started this journey, I loathed getting on the treadmill at home, going for walks with DD and DH. NOW, I have worked it into my daily life and even look for chances to be able to do things like going for walks with DD, how to get more exercise in. I still can't believe it!

As for me, I am frustrated at my lack of weight loss. Although my clothes are loser and I can fit into a particular pair of jeans better I'm still struggling with certain things at PT and still can't get into the gym. But I've discussed some stuff with trainer and feel positive things will progress now... so long as I can get past some of my injuries. At the moment, it is my hip and pelvis. I think that it is my muscles getting used to the changes one at a time... hopefully I'll be back on track soon.

Keep up the good work girls!
