5km Run today

Tuesday 23 November 2010

Weight loss UNKNOWN (i probably gained)
Current Weight 85.2kg

As it says above, I failed miserably this week. No motivation last week at all and I ate to my hearts content. Not really but I did eat a lot....and I mean A LOT. Didnt make it to the gym as the kids both had bad colds.

To be honest I was scared to go to weigh in because I knew I had put on and if I saw that I had I would have thought bugger it!!!!

But on a postive note, I started fresh on Monday and so far so good!

Made it to the gym on Monday - 5km & Tuesday - 5km. It felt hard but I felt so much better for it afterwards and just what I needed to perk myself up. Its getting really cold here and motivation levels are dipping.

Will def be weighing this Tuesday because I am being super duper good this week. So wait & see.......... No gym today (Wed) but hopefully planning to go tomorrow although the forecast is snow.... Ciao xx

Weight loss 1.2kg
Current Weight 85.2kg

Weigh in this week was great. Wasn't expecting that much of a loss to be honest. So now I am under my pre-holiday weight of 85.4kg. Just the motivation I needed to keep going this week.............except Tuesday and Wednesday I have had major binges! I know why too, just at home alone and I'm bored. I need to keep occupied so will be clawing back for the rest of the week.

I have decided to that I will update my blog once a week on a Tuesday to report my weight loss...or gains and I will definitely do it.

Back on Track after holiday.......

Well I am back. Its been over 3 weeks i think since I last blogged.

Long story short. Last weigh in before holiday was 85.4kg. 2 weeks later and 1st weigh in at Weight Watchers after holiday....88kg. O.M.G!!! 2.6kg gained in 2 weeks.

Could not believe it at the time. Of course I knew I was going to put on weight whilst on holiday. I didnt follow any diet, and really ate everything. We had huge meals with 2nd & 3rd helpings. But, honestly I was expecting maybe a 1.5 kg gain but this was more than I expected.

So I had to knuckle down for the first week back and it worked. I lost 1.6kg at Tuesday's weigh in, so only 1kg to get me back to pre holiday weight. That was a good loss, and I even had Thai for dinner one night and Pizza Hut the next.

First week back at the gym and it has been really heavy as I hadnt been to the gym for close to 3 weeks. Managed to go Mon, Tues & Friday - doing 5kms each time so happy with that.

Really trying hard this week so we will see how it goes on Tuesday, but I cant stop myself snacking...hopefully the gym sessions counteract it.

So as it stands I weigh 86.4kg and hoping to be less than that by next weigh in!

Weigh In Day

Busy day today, doing last minute errands before we go on our break. I'm sure I will have forgotten something!

But I managed to squeeze in weigh in at Weight Watchers and a quick 5km at the gym.

Another great loss for me this week. I'm now 85.4kg which is 400grams off my goal of being 85kg before Italy but hey, I still have 3 days to go - I might lose some weight before I go. I will try my hardest, although I am happy with my result anyway.

Went to the gym also and did 5km @ 9 km/h pace which is 0.5 km/h more than I usually do. I need to challenge myself more as I have been jogging at 8.5 km/h for ages. It felt okay, it was harder but I wasn't falling off the treadmill so that's got to be good!!! I completed the 5km knackered but great and the recovery period after was fine so I think that will be my new pace for the next while.

I am thinking about Dinner tonight and it looks like it will be roasted potato & butternut squash with Chicken & Green Beans. Wish it was ready now, I hate waiting, that's when I start picking & eating random things while waiting for it too cook!
Self Control!

That's it for today, got to start washing, folding, and sorting out 4 peoples clothes for the trip. Yay.....NOT!

Im Back and ready to get back on track!!!

Well well well

I have been so slack, for the last few weeks that I don't even know where to start.

I did weigh in last Tuesday (12/10/2010) which was 13st 8lbs (86.2kg.

Not had much of a good week as Chiaras B'day was full up of treats and leftovers the day after. I had no self control not to eat them. I managed only 1km of running which is shocking but maybe I needed a break to kick myself up the bum again!

Yesterday, Terri & I completed a 10km fun run in aid of Cancer Research UK. WOW! What a buzz!!! Crossing the line was an awesome feeling. I completed it in a time of 1hour 6 mins 1sec. It was a personal best so very very HAPPY! A natural high!

The run has spurred me back into action again, just in time for the descent to Italy where there are so many treats that I love. This will be very testing, but I will be very happy as long as I stay the same weight wise. I definitely don't expect to lose but if by chance I stay the same, I will be well stoked!

Terri took some more photos of me yesterday to see the difference in my weight loss.

Weigh in Results

Well, Tuesday a couple of days ago and I haven't updated the blog. I lost 800gms which takes me to 86.8kg.

Im a little disappointed with that t be honest though because I had done more running this week than any other week.

So, with last weeks 200gms of that is only a loss of 1kg over 2 weeks, Its not good enough! MUST TRY HARDER.

My goal of being 85kg before Italy is looming and to even get to that goal I must now lose at least 900gms for 2 weeks. Its gonna be tough but I will give it a new go!
