Will weigh myself tomorrow, having cake today for my birthday tomorrow.
Still hoping to fit in a walk in the morning and for the rest of the week.
How is everyone else going?

Good Luck, Sopdet! Let me know how you go... thinking about joining myself next time!
Jayne, don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing a fab job! Just remember you're moving in the right direction!
AFM, I mostly stuck to my exercise and eating plan so far. However I didn't manage to squeeze in my yoga yesterday or today.At first I couldn't get motivated and then I ran out of time and had to go to work. Bit disappointing. Oh well, I guess I just have to learn to manage my time more effectively...
How' everyone else doing?

Hi guys. I have been MIA as the internet went down for mac users this week and then I have been flat out with work. Haven't been so good this week. Even my exercise went out the window. But tomorrow is soccer training so I am hoping it will kick start me again. Came to work today with out my laptop cord so I better run to save the battery. Hope you are are cruising through.

Happy birthday again ZF!
I FORGOT to weigh in!!!!!!
But in saying that, I'm not expecting any changes. I did one walk last week, admittedly the big one, and a bike ride yesterday morning and I haven't been too bad with food, other than a naughty day with ZF and Emma, but hey, I didn't really care. I'm so tired atm, body clock is so warped, feeling a bit off too. AF is here too. Just finding it hard to find the motivation right now. But I'm still thinking about it continually, thinking about what's going into my mouth and still eating healthy.

Happy Birthday ZF!!!! I hope you have a really beautiful birthday & that it's as special as you are!!Oh & you deserve that cake girl!!! Today is your birthday & there are no limits!!! Tomorrow, well that's another story!!!
PAKRAKMG _ This is how I was feeling 2 weeks ago. I really hope it passes quickly & that you have your mojo back in full swing soon. It's great that you're still eating healthily - it won't make is nearly as hard when you get back into things. You sound like you need a good long shower & a great nights rest!!!
RAUPE _ I felt a bit anxious as it got to Sunday night & I had done no intentional exercise for the whole weekend. So I did jump on my cross-trainer last night & I feel somewhat redeemed. I didn't go ballistic eating either. The worst I did was I ate a small-ish banana pancake for breakfast on Saturday morning. We ate at Chinese Saturday & Sunday night & there is no bad food there & no desserts & I didn't eat until I was overflowing either. Can you squeeze in that yogo today at all?
SOPDET _ The wedding sounded like fuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn!!!! Glad you got a weekend away!
Well, I think I have explained all my weekend to Raupe! Lol. I did 6km on the trainer last night & then 5km this morning. Plus I did Zumba on Friday & this might sound really strange, but I didn't feel like the elephant in the room. I was so much lighter on my feet, could coordinate the movements a heck of a lot easier & I also didn't turn beet-red by the end of the class. Also, I avoid looking at myself dance in the mirror at all costs, but the few times that I did glance at myself, I wasn't totally disgusting with what was staring back at me. I felt like I conquered something with that. I have massive body image issues & that was a big hurdle for me to cross. KWIM?

I met up with MIL earlier, and she kept offering me cake. It was soo hard to stay strong, but I had some yoghurt instead. I'm kinda proud of myself right now.
In saying that, my b-day is coming up and believe me when I say that it'll be my 'splurge day'!
Registered User
RAUPE _ COMPLETELY & utterly agree that Birthdays are Splurge Day! It's the one day where we should be able to relax the diet & really enjoy ourselves. I will be doing it on my birthday (mind you that's not til September) too & especially cos it will be my 30th.
WTG on saying no to the cake, I'm really proud of you too & you should feel liberated that you could make the better food choice. Oh & awesome job on the exercise front as well! That's a really fantastic effort. You should be really proud - today you worked hard!

Damn, with DP injured I won't have the $$ and he can't watch the kids
Well ladies DP took the girls and I to bendigo for the night, maccas for lunch but will try and be good driving around today, getting breakfast and lunch out so will TRY for healthy.

Howdy.
I've been flat out and neglecting this thread ( and the topic, truth be told) but I've been at about the same weight all year, not going up or down much.
Will need to refocus and remember to weigh in.
Sopdet I might get you to remind me.

Jayne - Thanks. A good night's rest would be pretty amazing. Last time DD slept through was November
ZF - Have you given the zumba dvds a go? Hope you had a nice night in Bendigo.
Raupe - If you can't be naughty on your birthday, what's the point? Don't think of it as being naughty. You're giving yourself a delicious present that you deserve
Krys - Hope soccer training went well.
Sopdet - How's the training going?
Pandora - I'm not moving much weight wise either. But I'm not pushing myself as hard as I should be. I think you've got the key in refocusing, just let me know how you did it!!!
Hi to everyone else, hope you're all going well.

In 6 weeks time I will be:
87.65kgs

I am aiming for 1000 cals burnt 5 days per week and to stay between 1200 and 1500 cals per day

Hi everyone! Well soccer training was cancelled again due to the rain - argh!!! Hopefully it will be on tonight but I am going to the gym anyway just to make sure I do something. Went for a jog yesterday and ran a pitiful time - 3 kms in 23.27. At least it gives me something to aim for I guess! My goal is 5 kms in 25 mins. I am going to work on the distance first and then on the time. Sorry can't stop for long. Hope you are all great.

Ok ladies i NEED you all to kick my butt over the next week, will make an effort at the end of every day to log my food (will pop the link in) and work my butt off 3 days a week with HotI, am going to get back on the bike and also try out PRMG's Zumba DVD's IF they work on the DVD player upstairs.
I am really loving my walks but i need to pump it up when i'm not out doing that.. so please please please PUSH ME to get back to what i know i CAN do.!
How is everyone else going, i will be weighing in Monday, will also try and find the tape measure and measure myself and start afresh... COME ON LADIES WE CAN DO IT.

ZF & APPLETREE _ I am totally loving your renewed focus & energy that is being put into pushing yourselves further. It's really great! I'll be here to cheer you on & kick your butts!!! hehehehe. AppleTree - I think it's great that you are focussing on 5kg at a time, I did this myself & I found it so much more achievable. It's not such a big number ahead. KWIM? ZF the Zumba DVD's sound like a great idea - let me know what you think of them as I'm thinking of getting some myself.
KRYSALYSS _ At least you did the distance darl! I wouldn't be able to jog that far. Especially in the cold. lol. I just took it really easy on my cross-trainer & did 6km in 59 mins - so you are rocking it much better than I!
I am so excited, my very bestie gf & I have both been on this journey together. Looks liek when I land in Perth we will both be our goal weights - well that's the plan anyway. She doesn't have much time to do anything on her own as her DP is a bit of a brat & she has 2 little ones like me. Anyway, I have got us tickets to Cirque Du Soleil to have a special night out together. I'm so excited as I LOVE this show & really thought I would miss it in perth this year. I got us those good tickets where you get the wine, program, pre show nibblies & good seats so I really hope we have a fab night. It will be like a really beautiful reward for the both of us for working so hard. You know? She is only 1.3kg away from her goal, I have a LOT more work to do, so I'm really hoping I get there too.

I'm loving all the focus and determination here at the moment.
Jayne & Krysalyss on your efforts. It's motivating me to work a bit harder.
I increased my weights at my pump class today and I really felt it - walking downstairs afterwards was a bit scary.
DH has banned me from weighing for a fortnight. I think I might do some measurements and try to focus less on weight.
