Diet & Weight loss support #4

[krysalyss]

Hi guys,
I am currently doing the 12 week BB challenge (2nd one this year for me) but after the last one I struggled to keep it off. So I am posting in here now so that when this one finishes in a few weeks I will have somewhere to go. My story:
At Xmas I was 86kg - the heaviest I have 'naturally' been (e.g. without being pregnant). I think I put on 10kg within the year. Since then I have dropped to 77kg (weighed last Monday). My goal is 60kg as that was when I was at my fittest and healthiest - although I was also in a really active job.
Although I have dropped large amounts of weight before it has always been due to external circumstances eg. new, active job or living in Asia. This time it has all been just due to my own work and decisions so I am proud of myself. But need to keep up the momentum. Thanks for having me here!

Where are my weight loss buddies?

I have put o MORE weight 500 grams

So I decided today that I will just need to do what I know works and that is count calories! So I've got my diary out and I've done my workout this morning. I plan to tidy up the house and than cook up a few meals to put in the freezer... Those prepared meals are lifesavers when I can't be bothered cooking and I know they are calorie counted!

I really feel like crap so I that I will keep strong and loose that weight!

Hope you're all doing well

Oh honey hang in there. You know there are always ups and downs. It is still early days - give it time. I applaud you for having already worked out today and for getting back in to calorie counting. Calorie counting is not something I've ever been good at so just don't bother. I just use exercise and sensible eating... most of the time

I haven't weighed myself recently - not been at work. I might weigh myself tomorrow... except I just realised the scales I use will have gone because of the reno's! Oh well. there is another set.

I'm feeling sore today after PT on Fri. Back, bicep, shoulder. I hate my PT right now. I'm in such a negative spot right now.

Hang in there Cherished... you can do this.

Thanks Mothergoose You are awsome to be sticking at your PT sessions, expecially when you are hating it! It makes it even worse when you are sore too I find having a big scoop of magnesium powder before I go to bed helps with recovery and muscle soreness.. Do you take any?

Well after my workout I had my very nutritious smoothie for breakfast than I spent 3 hours cleaning the house woohooo... Than I DID make up a sweet & sour stirfry with rice, tofu & veggies which is really yummy and I think it will make about 3 meals to put into the freezer, so happy I have made a start on those freezer meals and feel great because I've eaten well so far and my house is clean

I don't take any supps Cher - I am suppose to take VitD because I'm deficient but never remember I don't normally hate PT... just at the moment. I'm struggling big time. A bit of internal conflict happening.

Well done on the cooking and cleaning! Wanna come clean my house?

I took DD to the local market and park this morning. Now she is asleep on the couch and I'm looking for new workout tunes on Itunes. I'm downloading some nice "angry" songs which will serve well at Tuesday's session Just have to remind myself to not get too engrossed and over do it or I'll pass out!
