Spring Into Action 12wk Challenge #2

[RhiChiChi]

((Hugs)) krysalyss & mm, I too have had a crappy week - exercise been pretty good but food & alcohol, terrible! I just put it all behind me this morning and am starting over.

I've been struggling for motivation a bit lately.
I feel like I've been plugging away for ever and getting nothing much except an hour of pain 6 times a week.
I ran/walked 8km in 52 minutes today and while I was on the treadmill I read an article about celebrity weights Turns out Elle McPherson is 30cms taller than me and weighs less

[Floweryfields]

That can't seriously be healthy for Elle though! Don't judge yourself on others Onyx. Have you been measuring as well as weighing/

The scales aren't going down a whole lot for me, but the tape measure says I've lost a couple of cms from tummy, hip and thigh.

It has to be a misprint - it would make her BMI 17 and even though she's slender she's not scary thin.

I know that I shouldn't compare myself to other people but confronted with 2 pages of vital statistics it's hard not to.

Ok - checking in - weight today 75.6kg so 400g off start weight.

So disappointed, back to 95.4 BUT i am aware of why, with DD1's birthday last week, LOTS of naughty foods, softdrink, alcohol and very little exercise.
So tomorrow i will be walking before the library, today will be fruit as snacks and a sandwich for lunch with lots of veggies for tea.
Might try and get the bike happening again aswell.. I WILL reach my goal

[Glass half full]

Phew! I've only put on 100g, which is way less then I was expecting. I'm annoyed at myself for slipping last week, but pleased that I haven't done as much damage as I was expecting. I need to do grocery shopping, so going to sit down and do a meal plan and proper shopping list before I head off. *I will not go down the chocolate isle, I will NOT go down the chocolate isle...*

My weight this morning is 71.2kg, so another 800g loss. That makes 4.2kg so far. I am also down another cm each off my waist and hips and .5cm off my thighs.
I just bought a size 10 gold silk SABA dress off ebay to wear to a wedding at the end of November, so I can't slack off now. Should be fine, I can JUST squeeze myself into another size 10 dress I already own... give me a few more weeks and it will be perfect.

Onyx, I was reading an article about Victoria Beckham's post baby diet at the gym the other day. It was something like 600 calories a day. She was back to 45kg in like 6 weeks. What the? I weighed more than that when I was 12. Celebrities are freaks and I wouldn't want to look like many of them anyway.

MM, good luck avoiding the chocolate aisle. I still have chocolate because DH likes it, I just don't eat it until he does cause he is really good at rationing it. You definitely don't get more than a serving when he has control of the block of chocolate.

Stayed the same this week. Seriously have lost the plot

[Epacris]

OK, so I fell off the wagon but I’m back now. I got a terrible throat infection and was really sick and I didn’t run for two weeks, TWO WHOLE WEEKS. Anyway, I’m back running again now but I’ve put on 800g. Just to recap, I started at 72kg, got to 67kg (which was my conservative goal) and am back up to 67.8kg with a new goal of 65kg. I’ve got my 10km fun run on Sunday 6th November and I’m hoping to do it in less than 80 minutes. I’m still not eating as well as I would like but I’m heading in the right direction. Change is a process not an event!
