84th bit from me

Back again :)

No weight watchers last week as was too busy with stuff and joey had the car so I couldnt get there.

School is back tomorrow and I am pleased, need the routine of walking somewhere each day might motivate me to excercise more in general too.

No where near this months gola of 100 minutes, have done soe excercise th elast week or so but didnt make it, might try again this month.

Tomorrow is my 32nd birthday! Every year I say 'oh by my next birthday I'll be at goal weight' now this year I wnt say it, I'll just DO IT! :P

Saw video footage of myself a few days ago, i tell you its a good motivator, Was actually a shock to myself looking so big!
I also got Joey to take photos of me front back and side with bathers on, will upload them if i can ever get access to the laptop!
I'm back to where i began, on my scales I actually hit 88 last week :( This week they say about 86.5. Not good, but really over the school holidays and all of december really excercise has gone out the window.

the last two days however I have done something, yesterday i went for a bi8ke ride to the pool then swam some laps then rode home and tonight i went for a walk wiht Joey after tea.

Tomorrw morning will walk to school then to kinder then school again in the afternoon, will excuse me to eat osme take away for tea and have a wine or 3 :) Joey has ot work late tomorrow too so will be having a lonely dinner on my own or will have to wait til 10pm to eat with him.

Now back to buiness :)
Weekend was a bit of a write off, well Friday we had the funeral, was as nice a service as they can be under the circumstances. Afterwards we came back to our place for drinks, we intended getting pizza for tea but we forgot wiht all the drinking going on, so myself and a few others did a wlak to maccas in the late/early hours and to be honest even drunk it was gross! LOL but hey we never learn when under the influence!

Yesterday was written off due to a bit of a hang over, red rooster for lunch then pizza for tea.... yes two take aways in one day.

So now today has consisted of bacon, eggs, mushroom and tomato for breakfast and a plate of steamed vegies for lunch (see you eat crap like yesterday and now i am craving fresh healthy food!)

Too hot to go out wlaking, might try a walk ths evening.

82nd bit from me

No weigh in tomorrow as attending a funeral instead.

Day reasoable today.

Went for a 30 minute bike ride so thats agood thing at least!

this march trip will sneak up on me fast, so best get my butt firmly into gear after this weekend is over!

an excercise total = 430 minutes.

81st bit from me

Well last night was a bit of a bummer, opened a bottle white, then got stuck into the good part of a bottle of muscat, drank them over a long time time though as sat up til about 4am. I nibbled on cut up carrot and celery that I had prepared earlier in the day wiht some low fat dip.

Had the same breakfast again, bacon and egg toasted sandwhich, then had salad again for lunch wiht 1/2 an avocado, a nectarine and thats it.

Rode to the gym , man was my bum sore form yesterdays ride!then did a 40 minute weights workout at the gym, that hurt too, hadnt been since end of november! Going to try to keep this up, having at least a days break from the bike as I am quite sore, but it is fun riding, makes me young again! I look forward to when all the kids can ride and we can go on day bike rides together.

Tea is probably some chicken and vegies or salads, I have dfrosted chicken anyway, or I might cook that for the boys and just have some stiry fry vegies instead. Got t make up for the alcohol.

January excercise total = 400 minutes.

Oh and scary stuff, it is exactly 2 weeks until i turn 32! Maybe by the time I turn 33 I'll be well and truly at goal!

80th bit from me

well havent updated all weekend, the weekend wasnt too bad, other than saturday eating chips and drinking wine, but nothing too awful.

Went out for tea with Joey friday night and had the seafood basket, I ate mostly prawns, mussels, scallops and salad so that was fine.

Yesterday was ok, ate ok, cooked a roast prok for tea, prbably not the best chice of meat but oh well.

Today was the begining of a new plan, tracking points seriously and doing some excercise!
I had a bacon and egg toasted sandwhich for breakfast (5.5p) a nectarine for snack (.5) then a sald and a can of tuna for lunch (1) and prepared vegies for kebabs for tea (0-1) then I got a phonecall from joey to tell me another friend has passed away, he died in his sleep Sunday.
Its brough back up so many emotions fomr when Damian died and soemtimes I dont realise just how much I do miss him.
I'm ok, dinner is still the same but there will definitly be copious amounts of wine to soak it down with.

Losingpeople our own age, who have kids is really hard ot deal with, I mean we are talking people in their early 30's it just doesnt seem right.

I went out for a bike ride and a swim after hearing the news, that was a good idea as it meant I could have a cry in peace. plus got some excercise in for the day

I just feel weird.

79th bit form me

OK weighed i yesterday.... 85.7 kilos :( Not great but a loss all the same. Ths week i am going back to counting points, going to up the excercise if i can make time and well hope for a better week.

So to meet my goal for sydney
10 weigh ins to go
570 grams a week, still very doable :)

78th bit from me

OK new goal set!

In 10 weeks i am off to Sydney for a weekend, goiung to meet some lovely internet girlies and am excited about going. This is my new motivation to lose weight!

OK I am currently 85.8 kilos
I have 11 weigh ins before I head off! My goal is to be under 80 kilos when I go!
So thats a loss of 520 grams a week needed. I reckon i can achieve that! be a good start to head towards my first weight watchers goal of 76 kilos too.

I will add my measurements here too and update them on week 5 and week 10.

thigh: 67cms
calf: 38cms
hips: 113cms
waist: 92cms
bust: 108cms
arm: 32cms

(my last measurements taken in October were
Waist: 90.5cms
Bust: 109 cms (though changes as still feeding)
Hips: 112cms
Thighs: 65cms
Arms: 32cms so a slight gain most areas or stay the same. Not good, time ot change!)

No excercise yet today, will work in a walk or may do an excercise video while Liam sleeps, or maybe get the wieghts out and do some here and some squats or soemthig! I really need to get to the gym, looking forward to school going back and getting a routine back.

Be back tomorrow with this weeks weighh in results, feeling like I will have a loss even if just a small one :)

Today went and finally got a masage for my aching back, hurt like hell but will feel the benefits in a day or two. No excercise today other than some gardening... a big slip up too, grabbed a big mac form the petrol station maccas on my home fomr massage as i was hungry, hadnt had breakfast etc... have been good the rest of the day, fruit all afternoon then steak mushroom and noodle stir fry for tea.

Ok lets see, had a good few days. did I mention weigh in yesterday yet? mmmm BAD 85.8 so gained another 500 grams, oh well at least new year, christmas etc are all over. We have no birthdays or anything for a few weeks either so time ot get in focus for a bit!

Have stuck to no count plan yesterday and today well. Walked for 1 hour yesterday then jogged one lap of the park (the park at te bottom of my street, Joey is going to try push me to get jogging again, I need some pushing thats for sure. I jogged half of it then had to wlak a bit then jogged the rest.

Today went for a 40 minute walk. Still havent done measurmeents, might try do them tomorrow so I can compare each month again.

January excercise total = 145 minutes

74th bit from me

Had a good day. Attempting the no count plan, and it is going well. I find it easy enough mostly to stick to the list and when I do stray I reckon i am staying wihtin the weekly poiunts allowance... though tomorrow willt hrow me as i will most likely drink a bit of wine.

I didnt get out for specific excercise today but i did weed heaps of the garden, then fertislised all the plants (we have a big block and 4 vegie patches plus other plants) then watered it all in and tied up all my tomato plants so thats a bit, plus cleaned up inside the house since we have guests tomorrow!

Making lasagna for tea tomorrow night wiht everyone coming, Jules is making vindaloo so will have a lighter breakfast, maybe some salad for lunch to try balance it out... maybe if I get very motivated I could do a wlak in the morning before the day begins...we'll see...

73rd bit from me

Happy New year!

Well its a whole new start isnt it, new years resolutions and all that stuff! Can you guess mine? yep the obvious one.,.. this year I WILL lose weight!

Off to a bad start today food wise, had KFC for breakfast and pizza for dinner.... mmmm lucky I got 2 walks in today!

Going to add my excercise minutes each day too now to try to get to 1000 for the month of January.

Not much more to add today.... its been a pitiful start.

Jan excercise = 40 minutes.
