can't keep up with you girls!!!! well i posted on my facebook yesterday about the 12 week challange and all i got from my friends was negative talk :( they just keep saying if you lose that my weight there will be nothing of you!! and the comments of oh you don't need to lose weight.
Well if i didn't need to lose weight then why can't i fit in ANY of my old clothes i used to wear?? all i can Bl**** fit in is tights:wall: end of rant.
Just got back from an hour long walk pushing DS in the pram... Definitely a good work out - I am so hot and sweaty and red. Gross!
About to sit down to a nice piece of grilled steak and salad.
I'm finding my pants getting bigger on me around the belly and slightly around the backside.
My attempts to help decrease a little are going to include walking at least 10 000 steps a day (I have a pedometer to help with this) and doing the wii challenges. Am intending to also do remember to drink between 2 and 3 L of water a day - between 3 & 4 750ml Pump water bottles - I used to drink it easily. My other thing will be to try to remember to reduce my evening meal portions.
need to edit what I eat for breakfast (bacon & egg mcmuffin :redface:) don't usually have time to eat at home by the time I sort out DS in the morning before CC and I really really don't want to get up any earlier, especially as DS is still waking reasonably frequently o/night.
I've been sooo good all day, can't wait for dessert though - frozen low fat yoghurt (instead of ice cream)
I'm sure I worked off a lot of calories today yelling at DS... :think:
The weather is helping me steer clear of sweet treats tonight. There's nothing in the house, but the weather is far too wet and stormy to go to the supermarket. Will have to settle for a cup of tea, lol.
yummo i love frozen yogurt! i cleaned out my wardrobe today to distract myself from wanting to comfort eat. the good bit is there were some clothes in there that actually fit since i tried them oo last time. have also packed away my maternity wardrobe for next time.
Gabber Queen dont worry about people like that - people have in the past asked me how i can possible need to lose almost half my bodyweight - they might not be able to see it but it is all there!!
Crap day. Crap shift at work, didnt leave til 6:45 when it was p'ing down rain and have come home, exhausted, probably not going to jump on my wii. going straight to bed and i will make up for it it tomorrow.
well done to everyone else.
Hi Girls!
Hi Gabberqueen - just ignore those comments, when I did Weight Watchers 5 years ago I got the same comments, I learnt it was people who were just jealous of you lol - I used to get, if you lose any more weight there'll be nothing left of you, yeah right, once I lost 8 kgs I was right in the middle of my healthy weight range, if I wanted to I could've worked harder and lost even more but I was being realistic. Just ignore them, that just makes me more determined to lose it!! :)
Hi Natty - I did some cleaning to distract myself too and feeling good that I haven't eaten any crap today. I too have been walking every day for an hour, feels good to be trying doesn't it girls!
Hi Everyone else - remember stay strong, and every little bit counts, I'm aiming for 500 grams a week, that's a good amount to lose, you're likely to keep it off that way - but of course any extra is a bonus hee hee.
Gabber - I continulously get told I dont look like i weigh what I weigh when I tell them...I get its because your so tall and big boned...still makes me feel like crap and I hate lugging around all this lard!
Im contemplating going to kmart and picking up my bike tonight....their open until 12 :)
Thanks for the support guys, all the comments really got me down and i actually went off at them :o i never do that!
Well done everyone on the efforts so far, you are all such an inspiration! I've been doing ok, my food is better than usual but still needs refining. I managed a walk today, a brisk walk for 40 mins which is how long it takes to walk to my mum n dads. I would have walked home again but it was too dark. I have a walk date with a friend tomorrow and will hope on the Wii when masterchef is over :)
I need to do more exercise and sort my eating cos I have a wedding this weekend, so I feel I am in danger of falling off the wagon.
Keep up the hard work and inspiration everyone :)
Woo everyone! Day two is almost over :)
I am officially pooped. Today exercise wise: 45 min walk to bank for work (not heaps fast or anything, but enough to get my heart rate up!), 45 mins cleaning the office (definitely worked up a sweat mopping and vacuuming!) and an hour of Zumba at the gym... Liz & I unknowingly walked into the "masterclass" - it was go go go, they didn't even go thru the steps just straight into the dances! But it was fun, felt a bit silly but I think I'll go again..... maybe....
Food wise: usual breakfast for me - wholegrain weetbix and skim milk, lunch - tuna sandwich on rye and dinner was burrito's with lots of vegies and some beans in the meat mix, VERY yummy.
Fingers crossed all this work gets me a result!!!
Maz - You got me wanting to get back bike riding now.
Sounds like everyone is doing really well :).
I had a good day. Dh wanted pizza for dinner so I had a domino's biggest loser chicken, tomato & oregano pizza. I did 30 minutes exercise. I will hopefully do more later this week. I have both kids sick so they are very clingy and unsettled.
Good luck tomorrow guys :).
Good morning my lovelies
I ended up having a good day yesterday I went for a 45 min walk and did 30 mins of my new pilates DVD whichbis really good and then ate a healthy dinner.
I need to increase my water intake though.
It must be my turn to be sick today though, I feel like crapola, so there won't be much exercise today, but stleadt I don't feel like eating.
Keep up the good work everyone!
my bad today.... its raining. had the girls bag packed for creche i was all ready for gym, dressed etc. then saw it was raining. thought i will just wait til it settles down.. nope its still going. i just could not be bothered putting two kids in their car seats plus bags, then out of car seats etc when we get there walk through rain, be all wet for class. so not going.. :-(
today has been a good one.
had an apple and 3 pieces of cheese, lol for morning tea.
done 40 min on wii. the obstacle course is hillarious..
stupid remotes died so am having a rest thinking i may actually go for a jog outside or maybe walk to work :S but its the walk home at 6 pm thats the issue.
Wow! You ladies are all doing a fantastic job! I should have logged on yesterday and it might have inspired me a bit more...
I have not had a good start to the challenge as we have been busy painting and gardening and getting the house ready to sell, so until today I had done no scheduled excercise but a fair bit of physical work over the last 2 days. My diet was pretty crappy as well :redface:
I am not giving up though, I have started fresh today! Started the day with a 5km walk and then popped into woolies to stock up on lots of fresh fruit and veg and healthy snacks. I will have a go on the wii fit later and then we have another 5km walk tomorrow morning and then swimming on Friday so hopefully I will see some results this week even after my awful start :crossfingers:
Well done to all of you who have been having such a great week so far..I will be sure to log in daily to read your updates to keep me inspired :)
