Weighing In.....

Saturday morning rolls around, this time I had decided to wait a week before stepping on the scales. everything i'd done, the working out, eating right? (i know there was a little chocolate and butter), i have to admit I was nervous, I didn't know what to expect on that scale but i was ready. Last week I was 59.6kg! lowest i've ever been in this losing weight journey. Stood on the scales....."60.0kg". My heart dropped a little, I was silent. I wasn't happy at the result, I felt as though even though there was chocolate and butter I worked it off and ate healthy otherwise and did plenty of excersise. I was happy with the way my body is looking so far, so that's the upside, the scales say one thing but my body says another lol.

Atleast I learnt something from this, I learnt that checking on my progress works for me. So i plan to continue to check on my progress to achieve the best results! I have made a rule though as of the moment
"No Junk food until i've lost 1.5kg!". As after stepping on the scales, not because I was unhappy at the result I just coudln't help myself, I had hungry jacks a couple of nights ago and I had goldsteins for lunch yesterday and I had chocolate for dinner (easter eggs still left over from a bad decision,lol). So I put on another 500g. My goal last saturday was to be 59kg, so this is why im saying I have to lose 1.5kg until I can have junk food as a treat ONLY! Im determined, back into it today, I worked out, I ate healthy except maybe the cheese,ham and pineapple melt I had. Otherwise I ate grapes, museli bar, yoghurt & strawberries and plan on chicken (cooked at home) for dinner.

I got a job yesterday so it will be intresting to see how my journey progress with working once again....keep tuned!

Chase it!

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, I've had limited access to the internet recently so it has made things a little difficult. Anyway I am so motivated this week! I ate a bit of crap last week due to anniversary and car sickness (found lollies makes me feel a bit better and lemonade). Last week I knew I'd eaten a fair bit of crap, stood on scales on wed I'd gone from 59.7kg to 60.2kg. Bummed but made me determined to lose this, I am now setting myself weekly goals. At this time though I set myself the goal to lose 700g! We were house sitting and they owned a workout bike. Wed,Thu & Fri I did 30mins on bike and a workout.

Friday the 12/4 Workout:

100 skips
90 star jumps
80 sqauts
70 sit ups
60 crunches
50 reverse lunges
40 salsa's
30 arms up
20 lunges
10 crabs
1 min superman
5 min nutbush
5 min time warp
5 min shuffling
5 min gangnam style
5 min harlem shake

I completed the 100 workout but didn't manage to complete the dance workout as I was buggered! My 3 workouts looked similar to this inc 30 mins on bike. My calfs were sore but I was loving it. Sat I stood on the scales 59.6kg! yay! not 700g but 600g and I know I pretty much got back to where i was the week before, now the goal is to keep losing rather then put on and lose but i will still treat myself i just generally try to plan it.

I've hidden the scales and don't plan on getting on them until sat (should be intresting to see how much i workout as I don't know how much I really have to lose as I have indugled in chocolate this weekend & soft drink - only 1 so far lol, im intrested to see if I lose what im assuming which is 1.2kg i think i need to lose to get to 59.0kg or will i lose more or less?.....stay tuned.....lol).

Off the Rails

Yep...I've given into temptation a bit too much now, i ate a soft serve today (which i didn't think was too bad) but i thought it was going to end there. Well for dinner I had 4 x toast with nutella....whoops.
Tomorrow we have a big drive so I plan on an easy unhealthy dinner and I get car sick so I want to treat myself when we get there. But I PROMISE to myself and you I will get back on track on Saturday (the only thing is, it's our anniversary on tuesday so naughty food then but at the moment that's the only naughty food i plan). I wasn't planning on doing the new challenge where we have to plan for the week all our meals and when, i won't be planning when but I will be planning my week ahead to get me back on track!

My food blog:

b - 2 x hard boiled eggs
m/t - 1 x vanilla yoghurt
lunch - 2 x raisin toast with butter (this was due to no food left, but today was payday so i have food now! yay!)
a/t - n/a
dinner - 4 x nutella toast

fluids
water & 1 x cordial

I had to do alot of shopping today, so I parked in further car spaces and I did 3 laps at the dog park with my 2 dogs. It might be about 2k's, im not too sure, but I can tell you I was buggered! and I pushed myself to run as far as I could, I gave myself goal points and at one point I stopped when I reached my goal point, I was pooped! As i hunched over trying to catch my breath, saliva filled my mouth and a passer by said "you look buggered, go home and have a rest!" this was during my second lap, I completed the third, it started to rain, I was keen to keep going but my brother wanted to go home, so I agreed as I felt i did my job and broke a sweat!

See you all tomorrow!

Michelle Won't Like Me Today

Whoops....ate a little too many easter eggs today! I think I had about 6 (1 was medium size). I felt sick after the first two aswell, I was eating the medium sized egg and got full but kept eating it until it was gone. I couldn't do anything for a while, never use to feel that bad after 2 eggs. Use to take more chocolate then that to make me feel like that.  Also lunch wasn't great but that was mainly because im out of food.

My food blog:

B - 2 hard boiled eggs
m/t - 1 small easter egg and 1 medium easter egg
lunch - 2 minute noodles
a/t - 1 x green apple
dinner - french onion and tarragon leaved chicken with veggies and 1 x pepsi max
snacks - 4 x easter eggs (small, 1 mint - which i didn't eat all of it,, it was gross and 1 caramel egg - that was yummy!)

- Not my best food blog, I plan on not eating any junk or drinking any soft drink until Friday as I have to travel far in car and I get car sick so when we get to destination and I feel a little better, this will be my treat and I PLEDGE that I will only eat 2 eggs! (this could mean 2 small eggs, 2 medium or 1 egg and a certain amount of a bunny - not half!) - hold me to that pledge guys if I fail tell me off.

I did a jog/walk with my 2 dogs today! I didn't take water as I was only planning on taking them on a short walk which turned into about an hour's walk/jog (with no water for me). They had water in the park. I changed my plans because I was going to take the dogs for their walk and then come home and go out later for a jog (decided i didn't want to go out twice). I then come home and did a cardio workout.

Cardio Workout

Boy did I get buggered bu after watching 'Biggest Loser' last night, everytime I got buggered i heard michelle in my head saying "you can do this" my dad even came out and saw me struggling and said something along the lines of "maybe you need to do an easier workout" I said "No, this changelle is about pushing ourselves to our limits!"

I also parked upstairs at the shops, So i would have to walk down the flight of stairs.

Qoute of the day: If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done!

That;s it from me for today, see you tomorrow!

OMG!

Hi Fellow Team Members,

Well...Today I got michelle's changelle to 'crack a sweat.....OMG! that's what I did! I am so tired now, every time I get up I feel like im running a marathon. Excersise today - My mum and I did a walk/jog not sure how many k's it was but it was probably about half hour we were there. Not to mention getting lost on the way back and can't find the car park. lol. We found it obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this blog we'd still be there.  I jogged further than expected, we did have intervals as both of us never really jog to often. Jogging use to hurt my back and I just couldn't do it but now, I had no pain in my back today, sometimes I do but not today! I feel fitter! I gave myself goal points to where I could stop jogging and sometimes I jogged a little further just to show myself I could. I probably could of jogged more but the talking got in the way lol! We defintly cracked a sweat though as we both stunk! lol.

That wasn't it though! When I got home, I had a 30 - 40 min workout planned, which consisted of 5 min wall sits and 5 min jogs. I did the first 5 min wall sit, and then half way through the 5 min jog I was buggered, I kept going - but walking and I just knew there was NO WAY i could do more of that! For the first time in AGES or possiby EVER, I was done & just could not complete my workout! I ALWAYS complete my workouts. I feel great though! tired but great! and im pumped for the rest of the week... scared but pumped!

M/T - N/A
LUNCH - 2 ham & mayo wraps with 1 x yoghurt topp
A/t - Green Apple
Dinner - 2 x beef sausages with 2 x fried eggs with tomateo sauce

I know i've been missing breakfeast and morning tea, I don't usually it's just because we either ran out of breakfeast food or I didn't have time in the morning due to cleaning.

I know I should eat my breakfeast, I always try too and I always tell my partner he should eat it!

My qoute today comes from mark from the biggest loser, I liked it so much I just had to write it down & I will post on my wall some time.

Well Goodluck this week all! and i'll blog tomorrow! Geez!

Temptation Denied

Hi again,

So yesterday was just a bad, bad day but I exceeded at not eating chocolate however I did drink cordial. surely, that has less calories than an easter egg. Tonight i've been real moody for no apparent reason. little things are just annoying me.

Anyway my partner  & i  brought easter eggs today as we decided before easter we wanted to buy them after as from previous exprience we found they are alot cheaper after. we gave ourselfs a budget of $15 each. I can't say since yesterday i haven't been tempted to eat chocolate. My partner's parents & sisters brought me some easter eggs aswell, so he brought them home yesterday. As i mentioned before i promised to give myself until wed. I am struggling but in the back of my mind this voice is saying "you made the promise and you'll be glad on wed when you see under 59.7kg" i hope i will be under, otherwise i'll be disappointed. either way im treating myself to an egg. yes our fridge is full of easter eggs, however i don't plan on eating them all myself or all at once, they will be eaten in moderation ofcourse.

We obviously went out today to buy easter eggs my partner got hungry and needed food, he had goldstein's, i was tempted but i brought something from a sandwhich bar. even though having bread made me a bit upset, try to avoid it as much as possible i asked for wheat but now i think about it im pretty sure they gave me multigrain. lol. didn't even realise that till now. it was a yummy sandwhich though! I even thought about sharing my partner's lemonade, but this will power at the moment to wait until wed for my chocolate is just helping me make the right choices to extreme! haha. I brought a bottole of water.

My food blog for today:
b- yoghurt & pear
m/t- 1 xyoghurt topp
lunch - egg & lettuce sandwhich
a/t - n/a
dinner - 1 ham,cheese & mayo wrap & 6 crackers with cheese (we don't have much food left and payday is thursday).

Fluids
Water and 1 Cordial drink

Excersise
My mother and i went for a walk today im assuming it must have been about 6kms, we took the dogs and then i did a zumba workout.

Qoute of the day:

I don't stop when im tired, i stop when im done!
