Last night i went to the gym and jogged for 30 mins at 8.2kph. I was struggling towards the end of it but just kept on thinking about my motivational quote ..."am i a wimp or am i strong?" and i made it through. It was tough as the fans weren't working and i was sweating like a pig and sooo hot too.
Didn't do much weights, so i left. I had to stop at Woolies to get some groceries and was in the bakery section, when i picked up some iced donuts to take home and have just 1. I was still walking around in Woolies and thought "would i be able to stop at just one?" and then thought "guess not", so i put them back. I was so proud! I felt like chocolate so i argues with demons telling them no and that i will have a Lite n Easy Rice Pudding when i got home, so left without the chocolate too!
I had a tomato and cheese toastie and a lite n easy berry yoghurt and that was my dinner. Very proud. I'm home today and am trying to be good, sticking to my Lite n Easy meals but at home i find it much harder to be good. This morning i had a bowl of cereal and will have an apple in a little while.
Krys - i know about the AF cravings! I can eat a big block of Cadburys and probably a loaf fresh bread a few days before it actually arrives. Goodluck with it all. But its ok to cave in once in awhile.
Good job on the jogging!! I also went to the gym last night and walked at 5km for 60 minutes woohoo!! Then used the elliptical and did 50 sit ups! Food was a shocker yesterday had a twister from KFC for lunch and felt sick after it! Thats gotta be a good sign right if im feeling sick after eating crap?
Today hasnt been tooo bad, scrambled eggs for brekky on multigrain toast with light butter; lunch i had subway and ive had a mandarine, had a bite of carrot cake and binned the rest! Woo lol. Jumped on the scales only to find Ive GAINED ggrr
Was thinking of doing lite n easy, how do you find it Turkish?
Also think im going to bite the bullet and get a PT to do me up a schedule, but just one at the gym not anyone i know =) at least then i'll know im heading in the right direction
Hi girls
Turkish delight you are so motivated.Really the last thing i feel like doing when DH gets home at 8.00pm is the gym, how do you wind down when you get home?? I am hanging out for the weekend I have a series of jobs line dup includeing sanding, splitting wood, weeding, carting mulch so feel like my long weekend will be a physically busy one. Goo don you for the thought process and putting the junk back, I often find I really believe myself when I say I'II stop at one.Has'nt happened yet!!! then comes the I'm a failure so I might as well blow it completely thoughts. double
Ammaki, good on you....and getting aPT program worked out, will really help to keep on track.
Krysalyss, keeping your food record is great by the end of the day I find it toot hard to remember and if I can can't be bothered writting it down. I have in the past and it worked well, sort of more accountable???
sass did you get your walk in??
Hi to everyone hope all is going well.
My eating is going well and yesterday I parked the car and walked everwhere i needed to go when out shopping, my tummy is looking flatter already??? I have a thyroid problem it is becoming slower, every test i get done it is get closer to being out of the normal range, probablly next time i go it will be out !!! in theroy I should be struggling to lose weight, so far that has'nt happened, so I hope I can get most of it off before it becomes a problem?? Catch you all later keep up the good work.
Just thought i'd pop in for today. being at home = no time for BB. I am sooo busy. i only get a chance at work and plus the kids can't interrupt me then either.
Amy- the L&E is great. All the meals are prepared and so easy to take to work as it is all ready for you. The convenience is the best thing about it, i think. The food is ok, but after awhile you get sick of eating the same foods over and over as L&E only do about 2 menu changes per year. The dinner's are ok too. I used to love them, but now i can't even stomach them, so i am just on the breakfast and lunch plan. I'm a very fussy eater, so the variety isn't much for me. Check out their website and see if the meals are for you. It is cost effective too (i think). I pay $71 per week for 5 days of brekkie and lunch. If i had bought lunch every day at work, it works out to be the same amount. So i'm happy with it.
Well done on the 1hour walk i tried that ab cruncher machine thingy () you were talking about and i couldn't even get the headrest up, so i applaud you for being able to do 50 The PT there couldn't even get it to work
Pam- I never wind down. I am always on the move at home anyway. I can never sit in front of the telly and watch a show without doing some chore. When i sit to relax, i fall asleep! DH texts me when he's in our street and i hop in the car and leave. I prepare his dinner prior, bathe and feed the kids so there isn't much for him to do. Thyroid and losing weight is hard. I have a lady at wotk with the problem and she is huuuge. So i hope it gets under control before much longer. I hate outdoor work, and all your chores seems soooo physically demanding.
I won't be able to hit the gym, til Tuesday as DH is working this weekend and Queen's birthday holiday and the gym shuts early on weekends and public hols. I had recorded some aerobics programs from Foxtel, so i'll be doing those each day. For those with Foxtel, its the Total Body Sculpt program on the Discovery Health Channel. It's on Saturday mornings at 7am, from memory.
I had a BBQ last night at home. Over-indulged a tad, but i promised myself to be very good today. Let's see if i can stick to it..
Hi all- I have been a bit MIA, life got hectic and I got distracted. But I am back on track, I have started counting calories, back at training and picking up an extra sessions, and I am off to pick up a bike this weekend- that I am goin to start riding a couple times a week.
Amaki - If you've lost cm off your waist and hips and AF is due you have probably just bloated up with fluid and your boobs more cystic, I reckon it'll come off with AF and more if you're stepping things up even more next week. I've put on up to 2kg of fluid just before AF back in the day prior to preg & BF when AF actually visited!
Turkish - Be careful going to gym if you're sick. Don't go if you've got a temperature, and take it easy gal. Trust me, collapsing at the gym is EMBARRASSING, I've done it. Also, you've done so well, just looking at your ticker makes me envious. Glad you've got such a good mindset to get back on the horse after a little hiccup. Wish I had a gym membership at the moment is just too expensive. Maybe in a couple of months when Tax season hits and the money starts pouring in I'll get one, I love their classes. Do any of you gym goers have a favourite class??? I always found the belly, butt thighs class a KILLER.
Well, I lost 600g this week. Though I didn't drink as much as I usually do yesterday so wonder if maybe just fluid weight. Ah well. We are going to Cairns tomorrow for a week's holidays. Holidays and weight gain seem to go hand in hand. Is going to be difficult, I am really going to try and be good and go to the gym the hotel has (probably a treadmill and a free weight they just call a 'gym' but hey, better then nothing) So I will probably miss next weeks weigh in as I won't be back home till following Wed arvo, so I will record any results in my signature and just put 2 weeks in following weigh-in. (If I have any results after the holiday week that is I might be grateful I dnn't have to weigh in!)
Hi girls. Sorry havent been around much. Work is crazy and we are down to dial-up - so painful!. Back to broadband tomorrow though. Can't really remember what I have eaten over the last couple of days but know I did indulge somewhat. Last night I had indian and also had a donut yesterday. The upside is work has been a bit gruelling so have been getting plenty of exercise. A couple of nights ago I was looking at myself in the mirror and wishing I had nice toned arms. Be careful what you wish for! The next day I had an hour worth of digging at work - ouch!
Anyway here is todays diary:
Steps: 20,000 (OMG yay!)
Bfast: 2 weetbix with honey and light soy
Mtea: 2 peppermints
Lunch: vege sausage on bun with onion, light sour cream, sweet chilli and tomato. Apple
Atea: none
Dinner: couscous with left over curry sauce and vegies
Other: coffee with light soy milk and one sugar. Milky way.
I was looking at choc bars yesterday and almost had a heart attack at the amount of fat! I try and stick to 40g per day. A milky way is ok at 3.5g. One little ferrero rocher is 5g! (so one of those three packs is 15g!). DHs coconut rough was 20g!!
Are any of you using calorie king? I was thinking of checking it out.
i use calorie king. It is great. It not only calculates how much calorie is in what you eat but also calculates your expenditure. When you type in what type of excercise you have done, eg. walking at 5.5kph for 35 mins it deducts that from your total calorific intake. It is fantastic. A friend of mine used to pay for what calorie king did until i showed her CK and she's now stopped paying for the one she was using and joined CK. It is great. Check it out. Its FAB.
Really the last thing i feel like doing when DH gets home at 8.00pm is the gym, how do you wind down when you get home?? I am hanging out for the weekend I have a series of jobs line dup includeing sanding, splitting wood, weeding, carting mulch so feel like my long weekend will be a physically busy one.
