But with all this i havent done too bad.. Leahs birthday at mums we had chicken and salad and some birthday cake.. Leahs birthday with John we went to the pub for lunch .. had snitzel and chips.. with salad.. but wasnt hungry at dinner.. so didnt go over on calories.plus we went bowling and spent 2 hours walking that day. and the birthday party was a healthy food party.. chicken and salad sandwiches, fruit platter and wholemeal muffin pizzas.. .. so all i had at the party was a sandwich.. and a cappicino.... Soccer presentation we didnt hang around for the bbq.. becuase Cameron is sick..

so im doing good :) not gone over my calories once.. and been running here there and everywhere .. so thats gotta burn off something right?? lol

Sounds like you're doing pretty well Amy and that's great to hear :D

Kel! Awesome to hear you sounding so positive :cb:

Ani I can't believe it was that cold there yesterday. That's winter weather!

I had an awesome day yesterday. Was right on track with my food and after work I went to the gym and did weights followed by a hard 55 minute aerobics class.

Woo ha!

Goals for today are: 1) Stick to my points. 2) Go to the gym after work and get back into my running.


:twirly:

Julia when I went to get in my car yesterday morning, the windscreen was a block of ICE! How ridiculous…

I have figured out that this shift (6.30am - 2.30pm) is the worst in terms of being able to stick to a routine. To start with I don't get enough sleep, and then meal times are ridiculous and I'm hungry in the afternoons.

Since it only happens every three weeks I may have to use it as a 'maintenance week' and not put pressure on myself to lose weight. Don't know yet - I'm still figuring it out…

100.4 this week. up 800g but no surprise.

will be back later, but I thought I'd at least mention that I'm eating yoghurt, juice, and vita-wheats + cheese for breakfast. :)

you put cheese on your vitawheets?
oh i thought you mean those weetbix things... you dont do you?? you mean those cracker bickie type things?

i had porridge, juice and milk in my porridge

oh ani - 3.9kg til goal omigosh it is too exciting! could it be by xmas?

haha no Kel - The biscuit things made of grains. Ham cheese and tomato is good too.

Weetbix and milk for me!

Why do I not get over the lust for this guy? The more time I spend with him, the more I want to jump him. Sigh.

On the good news front, I sat next to our hot new cardiologist at dinner last night, and he asked me out. Yay!

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
YA YA YAYAYAYAYA
WOOO HOOOO
GO GEN!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING??
HOW OLD IS HE?
CARDIOLOGIST SOUNDS CLEVER AND LIKE GOOD JOB
WE APPROVE
WOO HOO

in my news - i went over my points by 2 today and have another day inside with jemima then thursday HOPEFULLY she will be at daycare and i will weigh in at weightwatchers and go to work at the opshop.....

OooOo Gen how exciting! I take it you accepted his invitation? Can't wait to hear all about it!

I had a great day yesterday, stuck to my points :D

It was so lovely outside that I decided to skip the gym and I went for a walk instead. I did 15 minutes walking, 15 minutes of 1 min walk/1 min run intervals then another 15 minutes walking.

It was the first time I've ever tried running of any sort not on the treadmill and I was stoked that I did it and it was relatively easy.

Today I have a meeting after work so can't go to the gym. I did have great plans to go before work this morning but when the alarm went off I just couldn't drag myself out of bed so I'm going to have to go tomorrow morning before work as I have stuff on after work tomorrow night too.

Goal for today: Stick to my points.

Have a great day everyone!


:twirly:

Gen you're teasing us :p. Did you say yes?

Kel I have no idea if I will be at my goal by Christmas or not - and I'm still not sure if 70kg will be my final goal either. It doesn't feel like "the end of the journey" because I know that I am going to have to continue to eat properly and exercise all my life - otherwise I will put the weight back on.

Ani congrats :dance:on being so close. You'll notice my ticker :censored:

Gen a cardiologist? Wow!! And cute too!! Bonus!! ;)

Dunno what I'm doin lately. One good thing-------- Passed my final exams. 2 assignments 2 workbooks and a month at the hospital in acute and I am all done:book2: Studying and working and being a mum has been really hard. The juggling time bit and still trying to watch my weight.

Hopefully now it's nearly over I can concentrate on me.

Took the girls for a walk yesterday around the river. It's a 2.5 km walk. Lovely to. If I lived closer I would do it more regularly but gotta drive to it and fuel is ridiculously priced.

After our walk we went to the park for lunch, had a play then drove home. Was nice to spend time with them.

Didn't do to badly today.

Kel yr to funny. I think you were thinking of vita BRITS lol. They're the ones like weetbix only more hard bits in em. I'm with Kylie - It's weetbix all the way for me.

went over my points today but it was for my neighbour's birthday - i was close except for the two nips of baileys we had to celebrate.... so not expecting a HUGE exciting loss at first weight watchers weigh in but am ready for A LOSS please!! please!!

already getting better eating habits though, my fridge looks amazing and i am think majorly about portion sizes.

i know what you mean ani about final goal, the goal weight i have is actually 5kg over the weight i think will be my FINAL goal, i am so confident about maintaining though once i get there it is motivating me to get there as i know it wont be a waste of time this time

go julia - outside walking/running is usually heaps tougher than treadmill coz it has REAL ups and downs but so so much better for you with the fresh air and stuff!

vonni - do you smack ebony? does ebony bite?
