Hopping in here too with the November 09 BB Girls!
Will PM my measurements to Krys as soon as I've done them.
wow im soo pumped i never thought id actually be this excited to loose weight. just wondering whats our very first challenge this week.. i think someone mentioned 2L water a day?????
my challenge tomorrow is to resist quick junk as im having a super late night and will be really tired tomorrow, also planning to do at least a 30 min walk outside if its not too hot (its still hot in Darwin) or on treadmill, would also like to do 50 sit ups.
and drink lots of water...
Postive butt kicking vibes are being sent to everyone stay strong and think healthy!!!!:D
Measurements & weight has been PM'd in.
Well, not such a good start for me today :(
Have woken up with some kind of tummy bug, so I don't think there will be much exercising happening here. On the up side, I don't feel like eating anything, so can't do too much damage, lol.
Good luck everyone :).
Ahh Sterla maybe its going around? After my yummy last chance fatty dinner last night - I spent the rest of the night attached to the toilet!!!! Arggh what a waste.. ROFL.....
So far so good, only had a cup of coffee so far, have put lemon in my water to let out some juice and flavour - just waiting on DD1 to get up so we can all have breakfast :D
Don't know how successful I will be for a walk today either - DH just drove off with the stroller in the back of the car :wall: I have the twin pram but its so hard to steer and push with my funny arm (I have tennis elbow I think) so I dunno how we'll go...... might have to do something on the exercise bike when the girls go down for a nap.
Happy 1st day of a new life everyone!!! :D
Morning girls - just a quick thought.. I'm planning on using my slow cooker a lot to stop last minute takeaway dinners. Just have to not be too lazy to cook veges to go with it hehe.
woohooo i have lost 1 kilo!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA, gilrs, it must be our bodies going into panic mode, I spent the night on the loo too!!! On the upside, I lost 1 1/2kg through the night, lol!!! :D
Bahahahaha!!! I did tell DH that hey, I've probably lost weight already!!!! He agreed - he felt so sorry for me being on the toilet. I felt so sorry for him having to deal with all the kids by himself while I was out of action!:
lol We've got gastro here too....but it's not me sadly I just get to deal with the poo :(
Kell that's enough of that talk - you can do it!!
Sterla and Mel and Kell hope your bugs are gone soon.
Liz - just put extra veges in the SC - easier than doing sides and you kind of forget about them being there when they're in there.
Shantelle, I'm in Darwin too! :hello:
Krys hope you have a lovely week.
GabberQueen WTG!
Wow 30 ladies (and a few DHs too!) that's great! Positive and healthy thoughts to you all this beautiful morning :D
Started the day off with my fave brekkie (porridge and banana) and have been for a walk through the Botanic Gardens with the kids. It's right next door with a big hill and shady (great for walking up here it's soooo hot).
Normally i'm a big advocate of tap water, but the water here is just awful. Being so hot it's easy enough to drink water but I bought DH a Brita electric water filter the other day. It sits on the bench and chills the water - it's fantastic and a great incentive to see the water level go down.
Well I went for a walk to the post office and sweated my guts out (even though its only around 20 degrees here today!) but I took the twin pram, with DS and DD1 in it and had DD2 in a mei tai so all in all I was pushing/carrying an extra 40kg (approx). Its only around 1.6km for the round trip - but at least its something. So far I have not been tempted by the biscuits (thought about them but not gone to look at them) and have had watermelon and an apple instead. And water - so go me!!! Gotta have a cuppa now though ;)
I did start the day off with pancakes...only because we had them for brekky yesterday and I had to use up the leftover batter today :redface:
But I haven't had my usual cup of tea and slice of cake now that DD is asleep, instead I did about 25 mins on the Wii Fit and have had a couple of glasses of water. I'm hoping I haven't broken the balance board though...I got a bit too enthusiastic during the Obstacle Course and accidently jumped on it...then tried to do Step and it was only picking up half the steps I did so I got a very miserable score in that!
Still need to take the dog for a walk, might do that later this afternoon. It's getting quite warm today so will be a good workout. Also doing the vaccuming and mopping today, so will have DD in the sling while I vaccum.
Go you Arimeh! Sounds like a tough walk! Reminds me I should go and buy some more fruit, but might have to wait a few days until we have some more money.
Woohoo, go Mel!!! It may only be a short walk, but having that extra 40kg will definitely do some work!
Sounds like everyone is going well :D
throw vegies in with it babe :) mines on now with coleslaw mix (- the mayo lol) and mince...Jman and I will be having them in mountain bread wraps for tea:
Bloody nora :o I would cry right now if that happened (the toilet thing):
Big :hugs: to you all who have been sick tonight
:clap: well done Mel on your walk hon...very jealous.
Ive been triyng to keep myself occupied so I dont snack.
Had my coffee this morning and a shake for breakfast. Some watermelon for a snack and im about to make lunch..tuna salad.
Had to pick mario up from school cause he fell over and has the biggest lump on his head :(..he's very quiet and im watching him like a hawk
Is it too late to join?
I'm not really in it for the weight loss, I only have around 5kg to lose but I really need motivation to tone by lumpy bits :) and to eat healthier too!
Eeek! Hope all you ladies with upset tummies are feeling better soon :comfort:
Maz - I hope Mario is ok :( poor thing!!
AFM: I am just about dead today - decided it would be a good idea to go to the oval with my SIL (who plays soccer) and do a work out yesterday evening... I AM SOOOO SORE TODAY!!! She was making me do interval training (run-sprint-run) up and down the field!!! and then doing heaps of squats and lunges... I can hardly walk today LOL my legs are killing me, so I think I'll have to take it easy at the gym tonight!!
Food wise i've been ok today, just need to say NO to the temptation of that mid afternoon choccie I usually have! Trying to drink lots of water, but it's hard cos the air con in the office is freeeeezing.
Anyway I should get back to my work :shhh:
Hi girls
I know Krys is away this week
In her absence, should we make the week one week task ?
Every Day this week that starts with a T - you need to briskly walk for an Hour ?
It's nice to know there will be other gals out there walking with me (ukwim)
Arimeh - WOO HOO! 1.6kms is brilliant, especially with the extra 40kgs. And good on you for not going to the bickies - I would've!
SS_Storm - Hahaha, I do that so much on our board, I swear the Wii is gonna smack me or put me in timeout or something!
Maz - Ooh, sounds like a nice dinner! I hope Mario's okay :(
Gracious_Goddess - Nope, not too late, just PM your measurements (chest, hip, waist and weight) to krysalyss even though she's away, and then do your measurements again on Sunday, and she can work it out.
Sibbie - Well done, sounds like your SIL is a slave driver!
Bengal - Love your new name! Yep, I like that idea, not sure if I'll make the full hour but I'll certainly try!
AFM - We went to our ballroom dance class last night, and I made it through the whole thing! Jive, Progressive Jive, Slow Rhythm, Square Rhumba, Mambo - my legs HURT today! But I'm proud of myself for making it through :) Snacking on nuts and seeds rather than crackers and cheese dip at work, and have already drunk almost 2l water and its only 12pm in WA. Feeling pumped!
ok day one. good so far.
had toast for breky. bonus i actually ahd breaky lol
been drinking water instead of juice and coke.
have only ahd one snak. 2 jelly beans :( but had leftovers for lunch, small portion and a youghurt,
dinner is home made pizza tonight 1 slice for me..
im more doing portion control
and will go for a walk tomorrow :D
exercise wise, i walk alot during the day chasing drs and that but will be watching how much i sit around
Man, I was awake feeling sick too! Must be something in this thread :lol:
Well today I rode to work, spent 5 hours teaching swimming, then swam 20 laps and rode home - feeling a bit tired now!! I will ride to work another 3 times this week and will try to do a gym session and a run - well that's the plan at least..
Sounds like all you girls are off to a brilliant start! Good work! :D
I had to have a filling at the dentist today so haven't been able to eat anything since breakfast which was rushed so was only a cup of tea and some fruit. Hoping to have some soup later once the anaesthetic wears off and I can feel my tongue again!
I'll do my best. Hard trying to do it around naps and stuff though... but I'll try!!!:
Thanks Berenice :)
Wow Nai, that's a fantastic effort!!
Ouch Eluned, hope it's not too painful!
I actually had breakfast this morning, crumpets with vegemite and a tiny bit of butter. Lunch was a ham, cheese, tomato s/w no butter, but I have had 2 mini red skins this afternoon, oops!
Dinner is spaghetti bolognaise. I too have to watch my portions, I've been eating almost as much as DH lately!! No wonder my bum's grown!
Can't do much exercise today as I'm stuck at work, an office job which has me sitting on my bum all day, but tomorrow is my day off and I'll go for a long walk with DS and I'm thinking of buying a yoga / pilates dvd, anyone have any recommendations? Are they any good?
Get a pedometer, you will be surprised at how much you actually walk when at work.:
When you have to walk in the office, try and go a long way around if you can. Go for a 5-10 minute walk every hour, to get yourself away from the computer and to give you some exercise.
Well, I have had a good first day, only because I'm too scared to eat anything! I had porridge with honey for breaky. It wasn't with me for long! I hadn't had anything since until dinner- lasagne in the slow cooker (YUM!!!) made with heaps of grated veggies (zucchini, pumpkin, carrot, onions, mushies, chopped capsicum, sliced eggplant). I have had one smallish serving of it, and I can feel my tummy churning. Been sipping lots of water all day though. No exercise though, having not eaten much all day, I didn't think it would be a great idea!
Here's to tomorrow being a better day health wise, lol!
Urgh hope you feel better tomorrow Kel xxxx
Just waiting for DH to get out from putting DS down to sleep - we're going to do the wii stuff together, and go on the bike for 10 mins each.
Had a pretty good day diet wise, I made a batch of anzacs and resisted the temptation to test them out....
Congratulations on your first day everyone! :D
My first day was okay. Didn't exercise cause of the upset tummy, but also didn't eat a great deal - so it probably evened out. I think DS must have had an upset tummy too, poor little guy - he pooed in the bath, then pooed on the lounge room floor, and it STUNK!!! That was a crappy (literally) end to a crappy day, so I'm actually treating myself to a small chocolate bar tonight. Naughty I know, but I figure it's the overall lifestyle change that will make the difference.
Hope every one went ok today!! well i did a 45 minute walk today & spin class. Didn't eat to much but had a great steak cooked by DH:lol:
Awww Sterla - hope your little man is okay
Gabber - Wow .... you burnt some serious calories today !
AFM : I joined Calorie King .. I love it ! I enter what I eat each day, and it works out my intake for me. I think I will lower my intake of calories tommorow, Walked for half an hour on the treadmill this morning.
Hi to everyone ... Skinny Vibes ;)
Congrats on the first day, sorry to hear lots of us are sick - thats no good - hope it eases up quickly and lets you get back into it!!
I ate breakfast, ate lunch, went to coles resisted buying choccy bikkies and instead bought cruskits, vitaweats, vegemite and philly for the fridge at work so i have a something healthy for when i am peckish. We did 30min walk this evening before dinner - lamb strog - and i did 20mins on the Wii. Plus 50sit ups and 10 squats. Am stuffed. Cant wait to tackle tomorrow
Sounds like everyone had a pretty good day :). I had a good day too. I also joined calorie king and stayed within my calorie allowance :). I didn't do much exercise except a little on the wii fit and lots of housework. I tried staying busy so I wouldn't eat all day. It worked I didn't eat all day and I have a very clean house :lol:. I plan to do more exercise tomorrow.
Good luck for tomorrow everyone :).
Well done all of you!!
Mel nothing like the sling and the pram to add a bit of extra effort!
Sterla, oh no....sounds like our house. Hope he's on the improve.
Bengal....hmmm am walking everyday but an hour is a bit long for my 3yo to walk too....might have to do 1/2hour every day instead.
Yowie and Bengal I love CK too!
Oh jealous Gabber Queen! I love spin....must find me a gym I think.....
Drangoncookie well done on the brekkie mate, and great choices for the fridge!
:hug: Kell. Hope it's over soon.
Well I've had a good day calorie wise. Goes to show that I don't really need all the snacks I seem to have during the day.
DH is getting to workout with one of Darwin's top fitness experts for an hour every day...lucky him. Came home today complaining about the hourlong class to music with barbells of all things. PUMP! says I....you actually like that he said? :wall:
Took a bit of inspiration from DD today.
Me: What would you like for morning tea?
DD: hmmm, apple, pear, tomato and....the green thing with seeds inside
Me:....????ummmm....cucumber?
DD: Yes! I love that.
What a good idea for morning tea.
WTG DD! That's awesome!:
We do grapes, sultanas, watermelon and cheese at the moment. But I am not home except for weekends and its hard to get rid of the watermelon in that time!
I definately want to be a part of this challenge...
I am not sure how to PM, it is not in my user profile ...please let me know how to do this!:dance:
Mrs Mez you are unable to just yet. You need to wait a certain period of time, and make a certain number of posts until 'Registered User' Status becomes 'BellyBelly Member' Status. This is to prevent trolling, spamming, spam advertising on the site, etc. I think it is normally 25 posts, and not sure if there is a timeframe/how long it is. Maybe get posting in some other sections and hopefully you gets access ASAP
Thanks Dragoncookie,
Will start posting ;)
yesterday, wasnt AWESOME on the calorie front. i hooked into the girls cheerios at lunch (****tail frankfurts) and a few other bits and pieces. did a pump class though and put more weight on the tricep track than i have before. i want sexy arms! :-)
good luck for day 2 everyone!
Well after my little tummy bug yesterday, I weighed myself this morning and had lost over a kilo in one day! Woot! I do need to stop weighing myself every day though - once a week is enough.
I have another woohoo to come out of this too...
I am now down to double digits!!!!
hi ladies its good to see you all going well :) last night my whole family had pizza and i made an eggplant tomato mushroom and feta bake in the oven and it was delicious despite looking a bit boring. i did end up putting some parmesan and tasty cheese on top to stop it drying out but it was way better than eating pizza. im also going for two walks today one to mg and the other five kilometre with another challenger! woop! were gonna be hot! ;)
that's awesome sterla! :dance:
my day one wasn't spectacular but i'm in the right mindset now i think.
i have 3 main goals:
1. to eat at least 1 serve of fruit a day. i don't have any problems eating vegies i just never seem to choose fruit as a snack.
2. to track my calories in CK & stay within my daily calorie allowance
3. to do 30 minutes of exercise 4 times a week
i think these are achievable but they're also positive changes :)
