My weight loss tracker

Tuesday, 28 September 2010

Hi

Well its been a week since I last posted. Sorry for being so lazy, and it shows.

Just had weigh in today and lost just 200grams. Sort of expected though as I had a couple of bad days during this week. Thank god I had done some exercise or else it would definitely had been a gain.

I'm taking it into perspective as a good thing because it has been 7 weeks of not gaining weight so for this week 200grams off is 200 grams off! This has given me great motivation for this week and I promise you a great loss this time next week - GUARANTEED!!!

Ran 10kms yesterday and that was a great boost for me. I needed to test myself to see if I could do it and because I had become so comfortable doing the 5km that I never wanted to go any further. It took me 1hr 10mins 30secs but I got there and I felt great afterwards even if my feet weren't feeling too flash. I was walking like a granny last night, but feeling back to normal today so all good!

Dinner tonight of Spinach & garlic Omelette with chicken Strips. Can't wait.

Must remember to drink water, I think I would lose more if I remember this daily...

Terri is back down this week so I am going to get her take some pics of me to compare from the day 1 pics. I hope we can notice the difference!

For today... Ciao xxx

Just in Starbucks...

Enjoying my drink. Just had weigh in and lost 1kg taking me to 87.8kg. Very happy with today's result.

Right it's now 1 month until we go to Italy so my goal is to be 85kg or less. I think that is an achievable goal. Plus that means my 10km is less than a month. Arrgghh. Better pull finger!

Starving.....

Well I'm sat here starving. The kids are having milk & croissants and I'm just drooling. It's weigh in day @ 1pm so I dont eat at all the morning of the weigh in. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but its my Tuesday routine. Hopefully if I lose will treat myself to my usual at Starbucks (Grande Skinny Cappucino with 1 pump of Caramel - if you want to buy me one!) I will probably get one if I dont lose as well. haha.

Well, I mamaged to enter myself into the 10km fun run. I had been stalling myself and trying to think of things why I shouldnt enter, but I did it and it cost £19.50 to enter, so I better bloody do it. You get a free t-shirt and medal and part of the entry fee goes to Cancer Research UK too!

Well better get ready, drop DD off at Nursery and straight to WW. Im sooo nervoussssss.

Thanks to Terri......

I managed to run 7km's today.

Haven't felt the love for the gym the past week, although I haven't missed a session.
Told OH this morning that I didn't want to go and he said 'have a day off' but I think he said that as he probably thought it was the right thing to say at the time.

Was chatting with Terri and said the same to her and she told me to go and dared me to run 6.5km instead of the usual 5km. Anyhow got myself and the kids to the gym ontime and started the run. Was ready to call it quits after 2km but perserverd and manage to do the 6.5 but decided to round it off to 7km! I'm so happy - didn't ever think I could pass the magical 5km!

I know it's only 2km extra but I'm really feeling it today. Even had a Radox bath this Arvo. Oh well, suppose that's the start of my 10km run I think I'm going to do mext month.

Today's gym session has got me motivated again and my binge from the other night is just a distant memory.

Onwards and upwards...

BINGE

I feel ill, am so disappointed in myself just had a binge of 6 pieces of toast and now my tummy is aching. Why did I eat so much???
I had no motive to do it.

-------------------------------

I've just drawn a line (see what i did there!)

Tomorrow is a new day.

Decided that I will enter myself in a 10km fun run on the 17th October. Not much time left to prepare but I need to book something to keep myself focussed.

Terrible day for snacking today. Why did I? Feel really yuck at the moment.

Weigh in Day again.

Great week. A 1.2kg loss taking me to 88.8 which I am rapt about. I'm no longer in the 90's. Hope to keep it that way too!

Will add to this when I get home, got to do the school run then birthday party after.

Hello!

So I haven't blogged since Tuesday, I'm so bad - everyday I make a mental note in my head to go and blog but never get round to it, so here I am on Sunday morning.

Well I have been so used to weighing in a Sunday, I couldn't resist. You guys know me! So I weighed in. It said 89.4kg. Really happy, I'm under 90kg and officially in the 80's! Dilemma is now, should I log it or wait to Tuesday for official weigh in.

I think I will wait to Tuesday, as today I weigh naked (everything counts!) but when I weigh Tuesday I always have my gym gear on so it will be more consistent and plus I have 1 day and half to be good some more!!!

Just seeing the 89.4 on the scales this morning has been motivation for me. I'm going to be extra good until Tuesday. I don't think I have been in the 80's since before I was pregnant with Luca.

Well the week been I have been to the Gym, Mon,Wed & Fri. Back again tomorrow for last chance workout before weigh in.

Cravings are still my problem at the moment as well as picking - picking at the kids food even though I'm not really hungry. Geez its so tough sometimes.

Made a real yummo 0 point soup last night - you have to try it sometime. Great when your really trying to be good as it has 0 calories and you can eat as much as you like (garlic bread would be perfect with it but that defeats the purpose-ha)
Roast in the oven with a spray of Olive Oil 1 Butternut Squash & a large Red pepper.
Brown in a fry pan with a spray of olive oil half an onion & 2 cloves of garlic, add pepper & squash to the onions & garlic when ready and then top up with chicken stock to suit the thickness of the soup you prefer. I love my soup thick rather than watery, it makes me think I'm eating something substantial. After you have added the stock, I blend the whole lot in the blender - and Bob's your uncle!
Add salt & black pepper to serve.
These portions gave me enough for dinner last night and enough for Lunch today.
Well I promise to make an effort to write more regularly - dont give up on me, I'm still here trying my best.
Ciao xx

Weigh in Day

Well it's the start of Weigh in Tuesdays and have had a good start.

After the Sunday where I weighed in at 90.0kg - the week where it was a 2.6kg loss, I knew it cant have been right.
2 days later I weighed in at WW and recorded 91.0kg which would have been a 1.6kg loss which seemed much realistic.

Well today I weighed in at 90.0kg exactly which would have been a 1 kg loss since last Tuesday. I am really pleased with that. The elusive 89.9kg just doesn't want to show on the scales! But saying that I had a couple of naughty days, so cant complain.

I will make it my mission this week to 100% to get into the '80's'

Made it to the Gym today and did my 5km's 34.36mins which is 5secs slower than Sunday but not bothered bout that. Just happy I did it!
Off the gym tomorrow morning again and then rest day on Thursday.

We are having Tuna Steaks for dinner tomorrow night. I can't wait, its a long time since I had it!!!

Thats it for now. Will write again tomorrow!
Ciao

Race Day

Well Race Day/Fathers Day had arrived and I was highly motivated to do this run in memory of Dad.

Happy to say I completed the 5km in 34 mins 31 secs, my best time since I started this whole weight loss journey. It was a great day and loved being there.
I managed to start at a steady pace and continued the whole course without stopping only to crank up to the next level with about 500metres to go.

Although I was knackered at the end of the race, I could have continued for 2 or 3 kms, so I'm thinking about entering a 10km run in November/December if there is one to do. Would need a couple of months prep as I think I could do 7kms no probs but any more maybe a bit difficult. We'll see how it goes.

Treated myself to a skiiny capp at Starbucks after - was great!

Well I didnt weigh in today, as I am weighing in on a Tuesday now,so will definitely update on Tuesday with results.

Bye for now

Promise to write tomorrow............

Ho Hum

So I knew the weigh in on Sunday was too good to be true. Went along to WW on Tuesday and weighed in at 91.0kg which is still over a 1kg loss.

I have now decided to change my weigh in day officially to a Tuesday as usually I weigh in on a Sunday but also go along to WW now on a Tuesday. Its at the gym i go to, so will probably stick to that weigh in if possible. So this weeks weigh in wont be until Tuesday 7 Sept, which is good for me as I have had a really bad couple of days.

Binge eating alot, and really have no motivation to do so. I think its boredom, although I do have a lot to do. I am back on track today, and will start writing down everything (again....) Hopefully I can pull through!

Fun run on Sunday, looking forward to it. Supposed to be 24 degrees so hopefully it doesnt get too hot! Have to look for some new songs for the ipod before then.

Off to take DD swimming now. She is so excited! I can't wait either to we finished and I can get a Skinny Capp from Starbucks............
