I had a squizz at that program Barb - it does sound more sensible than most that you pay for. Was it expensive?
I'm a very big fan of incidental exercise, and I'm rapidly forming the view that it's even more important than structured exercise - especially for keeping weight off. Where I don't quite agree with that program is where he talks about weight loss being 70% food - I actually think it's higher than that, more like 80-85%. Well, it is for me anyway. It's why I think programs like The Biggest Loser can be very misleading. If you took on board the message from that show - they ascribe "good and bad" labels to food. They also train the pants off contestants. None of those messages are realistic for long-term weight loss… or for keeping weight off once you get to goal. I work my daily calorie count out like this: if I sit on my arse all day and do nothing, I will burn 68 calories/hour (for a total of 1650). That's what my body requires just to keep it functioning at this weight. So anything I do - whether it is eat less/move more or a combination of both - will help that. If I am more active throughout the day (and I'm talking about incidental exercise here), and walk around the shops, clean the house, park further away from where I'm going, walk up stairs, garden… I'll increase the calorie burn rate. I have to be careful now that I'm getting smaller, because I have to do a bit extra to achieve the same results. But I have a lot more energy now, so it isn't hard to "go the extra mile". The point I'm making is this: you can play around with how much you exercise/move and still have a fair bit of leeway. You can skip that 30 minute walk, and potter in the garden or scrub the bathroom - you'll still burn more calories. But you can't play with food the same way. It's why it's so hard to lose weight - because we have to change the very thing we are most resistant to. I used to be the most shocking eater. I hate cooking, so I would find the easiest, most convenient food. I'd skip meals, then get so hungry I'd scoff something down. Whenever I ate out I couldn't order anything that didn't include hot chips - I would feel like I had missed out if I did that. I would eat takeaway food at least once a week, potato chips, chocolate, cheese and biscuits… Now I listen to my body. And as weird as this might sound, it tells me what it needs. Last night, after a week of moving, cleaning, packing, unpacking, and stressing I was physically really fatigued. I felt like I was getting a cold, and my muscles were tired. So I grilled some low-fat chicken sausages, had mashed potatoes, and half a plate of steamed green vegetables. I threw a heap of garlic and chives into the potato while I was mashing it up - and followed dinner with freshly squeezed orange juice. The old me would have taken a pile of pills: garlic and horseradish, echinacea, Vitamin C and then run out to somewhere like Chicken Treat for comfort food. I don't believe that short-term or fad weight loss is beneficial. It doesn't teach us how to maintain our hard-fought healthy bodies when we turn 60. Will we be able to do high-intensity gym workouts then? Most of us won't. But we'll be able to go for a walk, eat healthy food, clean our homes - and be strong healthy women. Why am I rambling? Who knows? :D |
I REALLY can't leave this too long, otherwise there's 30 pages to read!
I'm still fighting with my weight issues (I REFUSE to use struggling anymore, go NLP!) I WILL conquer them, no matter how long it takes. I did a BodyJam class tonight (after a couple of weeks wanting to) and LURVED it. So much fun and I love dancing. The only downside is its really difficult for me to get to a class. Tuesday nights I have Weight Watchers, Thursday nights my PT session starts at the same time as the class (my PT had a cancellation tonight and brought it forward cause she knows how much I wanted to try this class) and Satuday mornings aren't the best, as I work every second Saturday! I'm going to have a talk to my PT tomorrow and see if I can shuffle it around, because I REALLY want to do this class. I don't want to change meetings (my leader is lovely) so if I can't change PT times, I guess I'll have to just go every second week. |
Wow, Gen I can't believe that you leave on Monday! That's so exciting for you :D Make sure you log on asap and let us know how everything's going over there.
RennySue I like them fighting words. Keep up the fight! Wise words once again from Ani. I agree with what you say about your body telling you what it needs. We've just got to learn to pay closer attention to what it's telling us. No exercise for me yesterday :( as I went to my parent's place for dinner. We had a roast chicken and I definitely indulged in one too many roast potatoes and a little more wine than I should allow myself but it was a good night and I don't think I went too overboard. Out for dinner again tonight so it's veggie soup for lunch to balance out the calories a bit. :twirly: |
i found a car :) and i bougt it :) lol i test drove it wednesday , raa checked it thursday and brought my baby home today :) lol
its really nice :) it a 2001 Toyota Corolla Hatch its got 90,000 kms on the clock has nothing wrong with it ( apart from according to the raa a gromit was missing from the spare tyre and the front right trye needed replacing lol) and its LOVELY. I have never had a nice car before and this is a really nice car :) i got it for $10,990 including stamp duty and rego and half a tank of gas and 3 yuears warranty.. lol which was a really good price all the ones ive seen have been 13000 so i was really really happy . http://i30.tinypic.com/dy8vn4.jpg http://i31.tinypic.com/2r588yh.jpg http://i32.tinypic.com/2mzbdhy.jpg no more crappy blues car lol .. I got really mad at the blue spew today lol . Cameron was late to school yet agin because of the stupid Meteor lol. I spent 15 minutes trying to roll start the damn thing becuase the starter motor decided todaywas not a day it wants to work lol.. I am not going to miss driving that F#*^ing car i tell you lol .. |
Yay Amy. Car looks great and its red... red ones go faster lol. But I would have talked rep into a FULL tank of fuel. Replace the tyre and get a wheel balance and alignment. The 3 years warrenty is good though. Don't mind me. I am the 'talker' in our family and my partners old boss being a car salesman we know they have room to move PLENTY of room.
All aside. COngrats on the car. Looks like it is in really excellent condition. Vonni |

Thats why i had to wait all day for it yesturday .. and i got them to give it a polish too :) hahaha it was dusty.MEAN aren't I.lol
|
It's lovely Amy.
I said goodbye to my boy/friend/whatever today. It was a bit sad! |
oh dear Gen. lol though at what you call him. Oh dear not long now. Have a great flight.
Amy good on you. i like to see girls who aren't scared of getting what they deserve. |
I got my upgrades to business through, so the flights will be A-OK! See you on the other side, ladies! :hug:
|
Where did everybody go:cry:
|

I had a good day today food was fine and a good workout . :0 spoke to john on yhaoo.. and had a good laugh.. they kids were good today.. o anyway im gonna try this week to set some golsa to stick too . see if it will help.. as my weightloss is rather slow .. lol so trying something more structured may halp.. Ok i want to go down from 1900-2000 to 1700-1800cl a day . drink more water.. do at least 30 mintues aerobic type exercise a day and walk to school at least once this week .. even with kids kicking and screaming lol . (which is why i say once.. I plan to get in bed lights and telly out by 11.30 every night and by the end of the week 11 for lights out.. ect. My sleeping pattern is awall and im suffering becuase of it. not making the best choices or exercising as much as i should. so plan is to slowly build up more sleep . . so anyway its 11.24 so i better go to bed.. lmao night all |
Travel safely Gen, looking forward to seeing you back here soon.
Nice car Amy. It'll be great for you to get rid of the old dunger! I'm so glad that this week I have no special occasions! Last week I had dinner for my Aunt who was visiting from England, then dinner out with friends the next night and lunch out for my mum's birthday the following day. That = not even bothering to count points and the diet went way off track. So no outings this week which is great as it will give me a chance to really focus on things. My plan for the week is as follows: * Eat clean every day * Exercise every day Here's to a successful week for us all :hat: |
i had a good sleep got to bed at 11.40 lol close enough and i pretty much went straight to sleep . .
Lol kiwi sounds like you had a fun week :) diet doesnt have to ruin little celebrations in life . if we let it we wouldn't stick to the diet lol .. and in the long run letting yourself enjoy something every now and then will make us more successful. Like me yesturday lmao .. though i didnt realise how bad my lunch choice was till i typed it into calorie king after i had eaten it .... lol .. I had a ham and cheese crissant for lunch ... lol and i enjoyed every bite .... then i looked it up ......... 600 calories lol oops. i sepnt the afternoon laying on the couch tired which really helped with my 600cal lunch lol . and then the kids wanted hot dogs for dinner .. LMAO whcih were pretty good i buy the hans 97% fat free ones only 88 cals a sausage.. should have made them for lunch then had a proper dinner .. lol so my fruit and veg count yesterday = 0 lmao ... not good i know . Im kinda pissed with myself .. i will be good today .. |
lol@Amys lunch. I know terrible isnt it when you type in and REALLY see what it's worth. I am horrified at Brumbys sausage rolls. This morning for brekky I am about to have (I know its 10.30) left over spaghetti bolognaise. So probably wont have a lunch so to speak. My spag I make is pretty healthy and I use the leanest possible mince also. I hide grated carrot and zucchini in it to. So there is my vege intake (a little of it).
I weighed in this morning and even though my goal was to drop under 70 in 2 weeks, cause last week was up I didn't make it. BUT I have lost a kilo from last weeks weigh in. whoohooo so maybe last week was a dud weigh in lol. I'd like to think that anyhow hehehe. So now I have 600gm till I hit 69.9. I won't set it for only a week as I have been a bit slow lately, but definately by the 10th of March I want that last 600gm or so GONE from my life. |
Woo hoo Vonni - that's a great result :carrot:! You go girl!
I'm all over the place this week. Trying to settle into a new place, going for job interviews, and also trying to kick out the latest housemate - who is a pig! I had a second interview at Bunnings today - it's looking promising, but I'll know for sure by Thursday. Been eating too much crap this past week, and I need to stop that. So starting tomorrow my goals are: • Eat no more than 1600 cals/day; • Drink 2L of water/day; • Do 10,000 steps on my pedometer. We're in for a week of 38ºC days here in Perth. Really not impressed! Hope Gen checks in soon - I want to know how things are going with her. I know she's still somewhere in the sky right now, but I hope she has an awesome time once she gets there! I wonder how Kel's going with her 40 days of Lent :D. |
Congrats on your loss Vonni. That's really great :cp:
Good luck with Bunnings Ani. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you :D Yesterday was a PERFECT day for me! If only they could all be so good! :dizzy: I stuck to my points limit, ate very good food, drank lots of water and had an awesome workout at the gym. I did my weights programme and then a 60 minutes aerobics class which was really good. I'm now fit enough to do aerobics classes again but my gym doesn't have a lot that I like so I was stoked to find this one last night. Plan for today: eat well, stick to my points. Go to the gym after work and do weights and an aerobics class. No snacking in the evening is my big challenge so that will be my main focus. Have a great day everyone :D :twirly: |
Bunnings is looking very good. I got called back in this afternoon to meet the operations manager - and I'll know tomorrow if I have the job… I have a good feeling about it, so don't uncross anything.
Now - onto weight loss matters. Julia - good on you for having a 'perfect day'. It's always a great feeling when that happens isn't it. I've currently got a goal of getting to 78kg by the end of March. I know that seems conservative, but with all the upheavals in my life I don't want to pressure myself too much. Besides that, it's time for me to really pay attention to what I've learned so far, and to see if I'm at a point where I trust myself to "maintain" my weight loss. There is absolutely NO point in having lost 25kg if I can't live with that, and if I haven't changed my lifestyle enough to accommodate the smaller me. Over the next few months I'm going to really work at that part of my journey. I've been "good" for 82 weeks - but that's nothing. I want to feel confident that in another 82 weeks time this lifestyle will be entrenched - and I don't feel that yet. Yes I feel smaller, and I have a lot more energy. I feel different in so many ways… but it still feels new. And that has to change - I need to spend time this year "living my life" as a healthier person, and I feel nervous about that. How is everyone else going with your weight loss plans? :) Ani |
Plans............. in the 'too hard' basket at the moment. But keeping on plodding along and I am fine with that. Not doing well with water and really need to eat brekky. It doesn't happen nearly often enough. But.... And this semester is horrible lol. One of our lecturers is so BORING. They drone and show powerpoints and as I am doing it via video conferencing I see powerpoint, and not them when thats all they show. Seem to forget there are other people out here not just the students at the institution. They can see them talking 'with their hand' and stuff. The learning guides and workbooks aren't being followed in sequence, in fact they never go through the guide with us, and its a big thing to know if we are on the right track or not. We voiced our concerns last week so hopefully things will change or we're ......... when it comes to exam time. You can only study so much.
Anyhow the question was about weight loss plans and goals, not for me to moan about my studies. Wonder how Gens flight was? If she is there yet? Lindor? Are you around? Miss you mate. Ani sounds good for this job. Woohoo...... Hope you get that phone call WE'VE all been waiting for. lol.:p |

hi sue sorry we posted same time :) great job with the ww goal :)
|
That's great that Bunnings is looking positive Ani. Fingers and toes crossed for you! I'm sure that working in a job like that will also be really positive in terms of your new lifestyle too - surely it's got to be a lot more active than you would have been when working for yourself??
Vonni that sucks that you have a boring tutor. There's nothing worse than trying to learn when the person teaching you makes you want to fall asleep! RennySue congrats on hitting the 5kg mark! :cheer2: That's a lovely photo of you too and you do look very happy :D I've suffered from depression too and am finding that while my medication helps, the positive changes I've made in my life - stopping smoking, cutting down on drinking, losing weight, getting fit - they're the things that really make me a lot less depressed. Not binge drinking anymore is a massive change for the better and exercising on a regular basis tends to keep my mood on the up. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can understand the struggle and good on you for working your way through it. When I see you ladies talk about not liking breakfast I really can't relate as I can't function without eating something in the mornings!! Lately I've been having my bircher muesli with yoghurt every morning and it's delicious :hungry:. Yesterday was another really good day. I stuck to my points allowance and had another great workout at the gym. Goals for today are to 1) stick to my points and 2) go to the gym and do an aerobics class after work. Keep up the good work everyone :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: |
I'm here! Got in at midnight instead of 21:30 so felt bad as my new housemate was picking me up... oops. Slept most of the way here.
It's damn cold, snowing and raining today! Got the bus around all day, got lots of things done. Hiring a car from tomorrow so I can go buy a bed (have a blow up thing) and get some stuff done. Went in and had lunch with my workmates today, that was nice to see them. Just got my wireless broadband worked out, so I'm online and all sorted. |
YAY! Thanks for checking in Gen, it's great to hear that you got there safely.
Hope you get over the jetlag quickly. :hat: |
Hi Gen. You'll have to change yr location heheee. Dnt feel bad about the delay in flight. I'm sure yr new flatmate understands. How r yr work crew? Is it better to buy a cheapo car than hire? Snowing? cold? hmmm you ARE on the other side of the world aren't you lol. Thanks for checking in.
Ani job???? Renny sue love yr pic. And well done. The slower the loss the better my dr says. Good on u Julia for haveing another good day. Its amazing isnt it when we just shovel stuff into our mouths and dont think about it, when we finally do it's omg. |
Snowing and cold, yes!! It's going to be a HIGH of 21 deg F today... that's below freezing!
|
Another damn near perfect day yesterday :cheer2: stuck to my points and had a good session at the gym.
Tonight I've got an old friend coming over for drinks so am trying to think about what nibbles will be okay. So far I'm thinking carrot sticks and rice crackers with hummus. I've brought a lovely salad to work for lunch today and will be going to the gym after work. Hoping for another perfect day. :twirly: |
ANI?
|
I'm here Vonni - just suffering with this bloody heatwave!
Good news - I got the job :carrot:, and I start on 18th March. Gen - great to hear from you. I'll swap you in terms of weather! Glad you got there safe and sound - when do you start work? How are you coping with having a housemate? Hey Julia, you're putting us all to shame. You go girl! I've just spent two hours in the garden here raking up leaves and putting them in the bin, and various containers. Hopefully that will burn a calorie in this heat :). |
TERRIFIC NEWS ANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are very proud of you aren't we girls :) Im having a great week :) John is coming home monday , cant beleive it has been a month already it has gone really fast. :). I got on my scales and im quite happy this month i have lost 3 kilos.. so im very pleased with that considering , i wasn't very well at the start of it. Multi vitamins have made me feel soooo much better. I have been working out whilst watching the biggest loser. Its just suiting me better to workout later in the day atm. Im too busy during the day . I have been on my bike for 30 minutes 3 times this week and done my weights once.. and im walking more.. havent actually walked Cameron to school becuase Leah is under the weather but i have been walking around alot more.. like window shopping for 2 hours with my friend while she was trying to find something to wear for a wedding . and parking my car further from school so i walk more and further friom the shops.. Leah is very whiney atm and i have sent her to bed for a """""""""""""NAP"""""""""""""" lol mean arent i? she spent 30 minutes in her room crying becuase i told her it was time for a nap since she is not well .. lol she hasn't had a nap since last october.. so it really was a rude word to her lol.. But shes been so grumpy.. so she obviously needs it. anyway i have a load of washing to put out b4 i wake her to go collect Cam from school . Cya |
YAY ANI!! That's awesome news, congratulations
:cp::cheer2::woohoo::cheer2::hat::hat::hat: |
Congrats Ani! That's a great new start! What a relief to have a nice reliable pay cheque! Or should I say "check"...? LOL.
I don't mind the cold, although standing out in the snow for 30 mins waiting for a bus today sucked! Also my car is under snow now and I don't have a scraper, so I'll have to walk down to the servo and try to buy one tomorrow. Housemate seems great so far! She is staying at her boyfriend's tonight, so I've got peace and quiet. Unpacked all my stuff tonight in preparation of my boxes that I shipped and the bed I bought today arriving tomorrow. Room looks great! |
I just need to vent for a minute…
About an hour ago I got the most disgusting SMS from my ex-landlord (the house I have moved into is owned by her sister - my new landlord). She was ranting about how I let her down because I haven't paid her sister any rent, and that she'd "heard" that I was a wheeler and dealer, and that we needed to "talk". When I tried to call her back she let the phone go to messagebank. So I left her a very terse message saying that IF my arrangements were any of her business - which they weren't - my rent is presently paid up to 14th March. I then suggested that her character assessment of me was running awfully close to slander, and she should be very careful. The ex-landlord has got just about everyone off-side in my old street. But if she's doing the dirty work for her baby sister (who seems just as bad) then I'm out of here the minute my six-month lease is finished. I don't have to put up with that. And just to make sure I couldn't get any more hysterical phone calls from idiots I got straight on the phone to Telstra, changed all my numbers and made my landline a silent number. So now, if people want to send me gutless, untrue accusations they can knock on my door and do it to my face. After ten years of putting up with the manufactured dramas that seem to be a daily event of the gay community, I definitely will not put up with any of it now that I don't have to. Need to remember what I said about chopping the deadwood out of my life, hey! So my first bunch of regular CHEQUES (:p Gen) will go towards saving up for a new place to live. And at this rate I'll be applying for a transfer to Bunnings Hobart - if they have one. At least that way it won't be 41ºC like it is here right now! Sorry for the rant. I just wonder how anyone is supposed to settle into a "home", get into a routine and get on with losing weight, when it seems that people are determined to do nothing but stick the knife in, and make me feel as unwelcome here as possible. I just need to get my head back into a place where I'm thinking positive. My new job starts in three weeks, and I'll be able to really start to focus on the next part of my life. Right now I wish I owned a punching bag… |
Oh dear Ani. seems some people have nothing better to do. But I'll let you in on my little saying.... "if they're talking about me, they're leaving somebody else alone" Not much help but it brings some humour into what otherwise just peeves you off.
Amy I STILL make my 7 1/2 yr old have a "rest" on weekends and school holidays. Also the 10yr old stepchild has a rest when here. It helps them collect their thoughts and calm down a bit. We don't care iof tehy don't sleep, just some quiet time away from everyone else where they can just 'be'. They don't like it and whinge ans say they are getting to old, but the little ones go down and thats OUR time also to coleect our bearings for the next session. The older ones that crack are usually the first ones to actually go to sleep. lol. |
Thanks Vonni - you make me laugh :D, and I feel a bit better. I sent an SMS to my landlord, asking her to confirm that she received my rent this week. No reply as yet.
Anyway, I just got two new housemates - a French-Canadian couple who are here for four months. Even though I have asked my current housemate to leave, he's showing no sign of moving out - so I thought "stuff him", I'll crowd him out, and if he doesn't go after that I'll put his stuff on the verge. The new couple will be interesting. He's studying film at Uni and she is a botanist. Plus they're going to be paying 2/3 of the rent - so I'll be able to save some money once I start work. YAY! I've been pretty good with food this week, even though I haven't exactly been counting calories. I'm just having a couple of days off, and I'll get right back into it for my personal Autumn challenge. |
I'm going to give myself a week or two "off" of calorie counting, then I will get organised with shopping and cooking etc. Do NOT want to get into the habit of buying lunch with the (skinny!) guys I work with - they eat "bad" food every day for lunch and I will get enormous while they appear to have hollow legs...!
Also must hunt out some gyms.. it's not really conducive to walking outside when it's 21 deg F as a high like yesterday (-6 C)! |
Oh Ani what a #@*&% that woman sounds like! I hope you can get it sorted and get her out of your life.
I had a perfect day yesterday ate really well and had a good session at the gym ...... and then my friend came over :^: I had 4 glasses of bubbly which is fine and carrot sticks with hummus which is fine but she had brought a block of camembert cheese which I ate about half of. Not good. Onwards and upwards though and I'm confident that I've done enough gym work this week to make sure that one night on the wine and cheese won't do any real damage. Goal for today: 1) stick to my points. :twirly: |
Something is definitely out of balance with me - and I don't know what it is. I'm not sleeping very well - since I moved here I have averaged about four hours' sleep a night. And I've completely lost my appetite for breakfast.
I haven't been weighing myself either, but I know I've put on weight, because my clothes feel tighter, and I feel bloated. I'm constantly tired, and my whole life/routine feels out of balance. It doesn't help that I feel worried about this new place now that my ex-landlord is being a cow. It worries me that she might convince her sister (my new landlord) that I'm an unreliable tenant. It actually p!sses me off a lot - I did so much to improve her place, and she acknowledged that while I was living there, I always paid my rent on time. And I even spring-cleaned the house TWICE when she had those home-opens. And she never said thankyou! But I'm a bit disappointed that I've let myself down with my weight loss in the last two weeks. It's not a good sign when I find it so easy to derail/distract myself, hey! Excuse me for ranting about this - I thought if I come here and talk about it I may be able to give myself some perspective - or figure out what's going on. Maybe I need to just look at things differently, and concentrate on the things I can control/change. And one thing I can control is the way I go about my daily business, and my attitude to those people who are determined to annoy me. I have a sense that someone is deliberately targetting me. Paranoid? Maybe. But a couple of incidents have occurred in the past few weeks which make me think someone is trying to make my life difficult. Example? For the last TWO weeks I've been getting Centrelink payments, as a bridge to help me get through until I start my new job (and those payments include rent assistance). Already someone has "dobbed me in" as living with a partner, and Centrelink are investigating it. Does it matter to them that I am gay and I live with a man? I laughed when it happened, but it's an annoying distraction none the less. There have been a couple of similar incidents which I won't bore you with, but it makes me think someone wants to annoy me. OK, so before I do too much damage with my body, and on the scale, it's time for me to toughen up and make a plan. • I'm going to go back to eating a light, easily digested dinner - and then not snack afterwards, and see if that helps me sleep. • I'm going to stop reacting to other people and the things they say and do. I have a lease until August here, and as long as I continue to pay the bills there isn't anything they can do about that. • Starting tomorrow I'm going to weigh myself and get back to counting my calories. Stuff this - I'm not having a couple of overblown-Barbies with inflated opinions of themselves derail me from losing more weight and becoming the best person I can be. And I'm NOT going to allow them to spoil my enjoyment of living in my new home and experiencing positive things here. Thanks for letting me have the space to rant and rave. I think I can see a way forward now :dizzy:. Gen I am so envious of your cold weather. You sound ready for a BIG adventure :), and I'm very pleased you're talking about joining a gym! Julia I don't think one night is going to hurt too much. You're doing really, really well! How's everyone else travelling? Vonni are you still on your way to 69? |
70.3 this morning, but I just had a major blowout today with KFC at lunch and a packet of M&Ms just now and not much else cept for a couple cups coffee. not good for the metabolism to starve it and then feed it with crap. But I will say, I got a popcorn chicken snack box and a bread roll. I ate the breadroll with chips and 4 chicken bits and that was it. So I guess it wasnt THAT much.
Dinner was late, as I have been sitting at the hospital with my neighbour. My son came home while I was in shower this evening and just as I was about to blast him for getting home late (6.15pm) He informs me she was taken by ambo from the shopping centre. She has no family and isnt a well lady (we keep an eye on her pretty close) so I flew up to hospital (no broomstick required:p). After picking up her car from centre and getting things for her and trying to get her cats in and feed them I went back, and got home 9pm. I am stuffed. Big few days. Ani centrelink works in wonderful ways (not). They tried telling me I was with a partner when my nephew was staying years ago. Hmmmm he was 14. lmao. I won't even go where my sisters troubles have gone lol. Gen hope yr gym u find is a good one. And I bet if you eat healthy your workmates will follow. Then you wont need to worry about eating with them. An besides that, tell them that as medical professionals they should know that being skinny doesnt always mean you are healthy. Gotta fly, bed is beckoning. Vonni PS Julia good work. (cept for the cheese and wine lol) Quiet without kel huh? |
Ani it sounds like you're having a real s**t of a time at the moment and I'm really sorry to hear it. You're have a lot of success when you set goals for yourself so I'm glad to see that you're going to start doing that again. As you say, don't let anyone send you off track, you're better than that. You've achieved a lot and from what you've said, have a pretty high profile in the gay community over there. It may well be that there is someone out there who is jealous of you and is targeting you. Please, take care of yourself and don't let this derail you.
Naughty Naughty Vonni for the KFC!! Hope you enjoyed every mouthful ;) Although I've been to the gym 4 times this week, I feel like I haven't been for ages having had yesterday off! I went over my points allowance again last night sitting in front of the telly snacking :mad: The weekend is where I usually struggle to stay on track so my goals for today and tomorrow are: 1) Write down everything that goes into my mouth! 2) Stick to the same meal/snack times as I would during the week. 3) Stick to my points. 4) Exercise at least once more this week. Have a great weekend everyone :twirly: |
