NYBTC Chatter Week #1

Well I think I've been doing pretty well. I did 2 15 minute powerwalks and have also been on my exercise bike every morning. I might do my 3rd Powerwalk this afternoon when DP gets home from work. I did a bit of reserch on the net last nigth and found a pretty handy site on weightloss and exercise so might start doing the exercise plan on it.

I would carry around 20kg but don't know if I'm supose to. I have a hernia and was told not to lift my kids because the strain will make it bigger. Who knows. Great idea but.

starting the challenge today, what a cool idea and just what I needed ok here goes,
1- to get back some energy to keep up with DD toddler
2- feel healthier than I am at the moment
3- help my furbaby feel better about himself(a little over weight)
4- to stop wanting to fall asleep during the day at work.
5- so I can look in the mirror with out cringing
6- to be able to wear clothes that don't look like something my grandma would wear
7- to be able to take DD to swimming lessons
8- so I can feel sexy about myself again
9- So I can feel confident in the bedroom (we have mirror doors on the wardrobe yuck!!!)
10- to do something for me!

oh i nearly forgot to do my 10 reasons

here goes
1. because i need to
2. because i have pre diabetes symptoms that i want gone and never to return
3. because i want to live to see my kids grow up
4. because i want my husband to want me again
5. because the pain i live in every day will be a whole lot less with less weight
6 because i want to feel healthy
7. because i want to enjoy playing with my kids
8. because i want to look great in anything i wear
9. because i want the confidence to look good in anything i wear
10. because i can

I've lost 2 kgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even with all the bad food I've eaten due to DSS being up here last week!

Woohoo... Way to go Sharon... Awesome chicky :)

I had a really slack wekend on the exercise front... was so hot... i did 10 mins on the bike & almost flaked... so flaged that idea & did house work instead LOl...

i was also naughty & had 8 beers over the weekend too :(... but they were goooood lol...

Back on track today though... off for a walk for lunch & having a salad for lunch!!!

Anyone else fond that they come off the rails during the weekend... iam good during the week while at work... but come the weekend I need to padlock the pantry LOL...

Well apparently I weigh 69.9kg today!!!!!! Will check that again (cause it may mean I lost 3kg last week) cause I think it may be cause I'm dehydrated.

Well done Schaz!

I would like to add reason #11 to my list:

11. Emerald Eye Photography- powered by SmugMug (my engagement photos. Not very flattering)

I think you look really nice Kazbah! Pip is gorgeous too.

aw I think you all look nice Kaz.

Well Iam really happy becuase I just got back from giving blood today and my haemoglobin levels were 13.5 (11.5 or 12 I think is the minimum you have to be to donate)
I have had trouble in the past with my iron stores, and being on TF I was wondering how it was going but I was really happy.

I'm in.
Joined the gym today. I am 39% body fat and I am committed to getting it to 30% body fat in 6m.
I dont actually care about the weight - all I want is to be toned and the flesh I show to be toned flesh.

Here we go!!

rayray - I know what you mean, I usually have to take iron tablets for a week b4 giving blood!

kazbah- you're hot! pip is such a cutie

i'm thinking of weighing myself for the first time tomorrow...

I was feeling really down so i measured my waist today and I have lost 5cm!!!!!!!

yay mrsmac, way to go!!!! I did my walk today 25mins of power walking and I'm no where near as sore as I was Fri night after my first walk, I've even eaten cruskits for lunch today (oh I still hate them)

Its really good to see results. It makes saying no to cake and junk worthwhile.

MrsMac - 5cm is HEAPS!
Shazz - 7cm is even more HEAPS!! you and MrsMac will be shopping for new wardrobes soon :)
Schaz - 2kg is great!
Mitch - weekends are definitely my danger time - they can be an absolute nightmare if I'm bored or procrastinating because I have more time to eat and greater access to food :(
Fi - well done for joining a gym. You sound heaps motivated.
Kaz - you look fantastic and pip is a sweetie. 3kg is a big loss too.
