I am still here :)

I skipped weigh in this week due to a not so good food week and this is more about being healthy and fit and taking care of myself than what the scales say BUT I also know if they said i gained too much it would effect me emotionally so better to skip :)

Still going ot the gym and wlaking being busy at hom.

My workout currently consists of
rower warm up

leg excercises on 2 different machines
fitball squats

Dumb bell bicep curls
dumb bell tricep kick backs
close hand lat pull down

push ups
hovers
reversed leg sit ups

then 5km on the rower.

I did all that today except the 5 km on the rower as I didnt have time so instead just did 10 minutes.

Had my gym assessment done today.

It went well.

We knew I had gained weight since my last assessment(which was over a year ago!!) and the guy was wonderful, very encouraging and supportive. He reminded me that sixze and weight are not the be all to being fit and healthy, that excercise and taking general care of yourself is much more important than what the scales or tape measure says.

I did a small workout at the gym before leaving, did the rower, the bike and the cross trainer.

He said the rower will really help with losing kilos so that will be one well used piece of equipment for me!

Oh another half kilo down. 97.2 this morning!

I also went to the girls school and helped do 3 and a half hours of weeding and gardening so more excercise there.

I've been having a good week. Been tracking points and writing what I eat each day to try to get on the right track.
Have also been trying to excercise more.

I think I need to up the excercise more so i think I am going to track how much I do in here each day.

I'll be back tonight with todays excercise :)

I'm still here!

I so need to do this. I really dont like my body this big, its getting uncomfy and it is definitely unhealthy!

I weighed this morning.

98.8 kilos!!!!

Oh my!

So I got Joey to go get me a new white board marker as i was working today and i am going to track my food on the fridge to be more accountable and am going to loosely follow the weight watchers points plan as it is something that has worked for me int he past and means I don't feel like I am giving up all the treats I like.

I am also planning on tackling it heavy on with excercise, nothing ridiculous but it will def help me along the way.

I plan to walk to school more often also.

So lets see today:
I walked the kids to school this morning then worked for most of the day, I went to aldi after work somewhere I have never shopped, and icked up heaps of their 'just organics' range of products, they were cheap and will add to my cupboard for extras.

I'm going to do my measurements also, its been a while since I have.

Neck - 39.5cms
Boobs - 113.5cms
Waist - 101.5cms
Tummy - 109.5cms
Hips - 124cms
Thigh - 73cms
arm - 36cms
calf - 41cms


think I might go down to the neighbours and see if she wants to run tonight! and bring the cross trainer in from the garage!

I know I havent posted in here in ages.

Nothings changed, nothing lost nothing gained.

I did join a netball team though and played my first game on monday, I was so sore for the next few days! I loved it though!

Kylie has inspired me.

I am going to try for 1000 minutes excercise in une. so far I have done 2 45 minute walks this week.

so my starting total is 90 minutes. I have a bit of catching up to do!

Not much other news here, sititng at the same weight, been lacking motivation.

Oh my!

Yesterday I went and met Joey and we climbed the Thousand steps at upper fentree gully! Boy was it hard work! The walk up to steps was a killer enough wihtout even hitting the steps!!! Apparently there are in actual fact around 670 steps. not a thousand but still 670 steps!!!! Thats a lot of steps! It was very very hard work and coming down the hill wasnt much easier! But it was gorgeous up there and it felt great to get to the top! So I am going to try to do this at least once a week preferably 2 times aweek and I am sure then it will help these kilos to shift!!!

We took my camera to get scenery photos and photos of the ferns and texture etc along the way. So once at the top I got Joey to take some photos of me, this will be my new photo place i think! i cant wait to see what I will look like up there in 3 months time!!!

I look lovely and rosy red, boy was I knackered! You can see how tired I look!

I forgot to post that I weighed the other week and was an astounding 98.4 kilos! Yuk yuk yuk!

weighed today and was 96.2 after doing 5 days of a detox, I htink that helped. I bought the 15 day detox kit but am away for the week next week so knew i wouldnt be able t do it then so did 5 days now then will do 5 days in the week after I return and then have the weekend then do another 5 days the following week. Should help kick start me into new better eating habits.

I feel pretty good.

Have had a good day today.

Eaten well enough, a pie for breakfast (our ocal bakery does nice home made ones and they are not as fatty as normal ones) a foccacia for lunch and tea will be kangaroo steaks and salad/vegies.

No wine today. No cigarettes today (yes I know very bad but under the stress of the relationship I ended up smoking more than I would have liked!!)

Went to the gym and did 45 minutes weights/and alittle cardio today so all good and I think i am going to go for a wlak or bike ride tonight.

Off to edit yesterdays post as i realise I forgot my measurmeents in it!

OK back with photos as promised.

Today has been a good day so far. Been drinking water again which is one habit I have gotten terrible with. Am going ot go for a walk a bit later and also mow the lawns once this post is done so that is the excercise for today. Food wise, i slept in so had breakfast/lunch combined and had scrambled egg (1 eggs worth) piece of toast, grilled bacon and a stir fry of mushroom, chilli, tomato and spinach. Very nice.

I took the photos before, Yes they are AWFUL!!!!!!
But just think each month i will look better and better :) Not weighing today as i ate before I thought too so will do that tomorrow morning.

I notice in the photos just how bad my lazy eye is looking! and yes my room is messy! and yes i look mighty frumpy, but hey I did say i was about to go mow the lawns! Off to do that now...

Oh nearly forgot: my measurements taken today are:

Neck - 40cms
Boobs - 115cms
Waist - 101cms
Tummy - 109.5cms
Hips - 124cms
Thigh - 73.5cms
arm - 36cms

OK, again itsbeen a while in between posts.

I haven't been doing very well and have been in a place wiht out a lot of motivation for a while.

Thats changing.

I do not like the way I look and I do not like at all, the weight and size that I currently am.

Getting motivation to lose weight is hard. I have been on this roller coaster for so long and if I don't do soemthing then it is only my health and well being that is effected.

I want to look in the mirror and be comfortable with what is looking back at me.

Last week i changed my bedroom around and I now have a full view of myself in my mirror and its not a nice sight.

Tomorrow i am going to take a photo and I am going to get back on track. I will do a photo and measurements every 4 weeks on a Sunday until I get to goal.

I am off to Queensland in October and I want to be at least 10-15 kilos lighter than i currently am right now. That's exactly 30 weeks away so now is a grat time to get working towards my goal.

I will weigh in the morning and take measurements and a photo for all to see.

Wish me succes on my journey because I need it right now!
