LIttle buggers...

IM about to take my frustration out on the elliptical.. :).. cya's later

Yes Ani...I arrive Perth Sunday PM!

So much for my good behaviour...soooo not happening!!! Clothes are getting really uncomfortable now :( I HAVE TO STOP THIS!!!

On a positive note...rumour has it, a job application I submitted recently might be coming up trumps for me!! So keep your fingers crossed for me folks!! :)

And well done to all who are managing their weight-loss successfully!

eughhhhhhhh period...........

Lindor what's this about a new job? Tell us more…

How long are you going to be in Perth? I'm free Sunday afternoon/evening, then work Monday & Tuesday 6.30 - 2.30pm. Then I have Wednesday and Thursday off. So hopefully we can find some time in there to catch up :D.

Julia where are you?

Gen you crack me up. Have you joined CK yet?

Amy I really admire your dedication to exercise. Most of the time my job feels like one big exercise session, and it is going to be good for 'maintenance' that I am active all day - but I still feel like something is missing. Might have to ponder that, and get back into an exercise routine of some kind.

This weeks exercise so far.
Walked Bree to school yesterday. It's only a 10 minute walk each way, but long incline for half the way. This morning she caught bus so I did 10min on elliptical (after I cleaned all the dust off it) level 3. I know not thats long but I figure if I build up gradually thats best for me. Also my fitness level sux. Started smoking again to so that doesn't help.

Food for the week so far
yesterday I came in at 1221 calories (after exercise). Calorie King says I should be aiming at 1240 for weight loss. So came under but hungry. Maybe I need better choices.

Today so far is 525 cal (thats taking off apparently 80 for the elliptical).

And wait for it...............
I've drank a litre of water today so far woooooo :carrot:

Ok, now I'm not to sure about deducting exercise calories of eaten calories. That to me seems dangerous. It's far to easy to underestimate what we eat and over estimate our activity. So I will c how I go this week counting and deducting, and what the results are on the scale. Next week I will only count calories and not deduct and see those results.

dont deduct it IS dangerous - so count them as a bonus!!

i shovleled about 750kg of sandy gravel yesterday coz believe it or not i dug the holes too deep for the concrete so i have to fill it up! hehehehehe

food this week has been "shocking" so not expecting a loss, hope not another gain
we shall see

Vonni there is a very fine line there with eating back calories.. since i believe ck over estimates the amount burnt.. for alot of poeple .. try to give yourself no more then 100-150 above theres even with exercise..

my ck reckon i burn on average 800 calories a day with exercise.( 2 hrs a day). i consume 1500 -1700( sometimes more) there reccomendation is 1650 i think.. and i loose very slowly .. so i think there burn cals are well off .. if i eat back the calories.. i gain.. or maintain..

:)

anyway im all sweaty so going to head off to the shower.. just finished my wo for the day today ive done.. 40 minutes wii fit.. warmed up with step did 10 minutes jog and then finished up with boxing and balance games.. and some pilates stretches.. this morning ... then 120 minutes walking and finished off tonight with 30 minutes hiit on the elliptical..

tomorrow i will do my wii fit in the morning then plan on taking the kids for a swim for 4-5 hours :) we all love it there :) ..

hope you all have a great dau tomorow..

Kel you'll figure out the food soon.. im no saint dont worry about that but i manage to stay within my cals 95 % of the time even with a treat :).. aybe you could join ck.. just to plan out a day with what ever treat you want in it and see how to work out your cals for the rest of the day?? to allow it?? what do you think??

ok.. shower time.. sorry for stinking up the forum with my sweat... lol

My elliptical gives me average calories burnt and when I checked today it was exact same as CK. BUT I will not eat them back., I will count as a bonus.:D

I have to stop snacking in bed. Thats usually when I do. NOw I am on my own I curl up in bed with a book and have a bowl of crisps or a chocolate. and sometimes even both:^:

I only ended up with 953 calories today NOT taking off my exercise. Go figure. My choices today were better than yesterday so I am not hungry like I was yesterday.

Still have a cuppa to go though. Maybe thats what I need to cut down. I've been drinking a lot of it lately lite milk and 2 sugars. I wont cut sugar down (tho sometimes its sweet so next one I have less) so I guess I will cut down the amount I drink.

I drank 1.5lt water :dizzy:

Amy how does Leah handle the pool with her allergies? I find it hard to breath in our local just walking in.

30 minutes of gardening is supposed to burn nearly 150cal Thats more than cleaning house. wow. Maybe we should all have lovely gardens and a messy house.

we need a new thread we are over 500 posts

amy - weight watchers is the same as calorie king except counts points not calories and has a website same as calorie king for me to do exactly that and when i DO count them and plan my day i am fine.... just been a bit all over the place...

did i tell u i got UNinvited to a good friends wedding - the kids at ceremony issue got a bit close to home and we argued, now on saturday i have a hotdate with my hubby instead of going to overplanned stale boring wedding.... of really good school friend of 12 years... hmph

oh yeah and after tomorrow i am going to take a break from the computer for at least a week

my baby coughing and been a bit unwell today so i best go check on her

Well it sounds like most of you are doing really well and that's awesome :D

I've had a really bad few days. On Sunday I stayed in bed until 4pm, sleeping all day having already slept all night. Monday I felt like crap so took the day off work and again, slept all day having already slept all night.

My diet's been really awful. I ate almost a whole pizza on Sunday night for example and I know that the poor food choices have made me feel worse. I haven't been to the gym since last Wednesday and I feel so lethargic and blah that I just haven't been able to get myself there.

I'm feeling a little better today so am back on track with my diet, starting with writing my food intake down in my food diary. My goal for today is to stick to my points.


:twirly:

thats great kel i didnt realise points could be so easy which is why i suggested ck.. i assumed you had to do all the calculations yourself :) ..

thats great..

Julia im sorry you feel like crap. :(

Vonni i cover leah is cream before we go she has a bath when we get home and gets lathered up in cream again.. lol she gets a rash but its a very fine one.. not a ranging one like the food gives her and absolutly loves swimming.. she is a chubby girl so its good for her rash or not.. lol she is 19kg and 105cm tall .. the food is what made her really sick.. most other things are much more minor reactions .. and i dont freak out any more becuase i know its only gonna be a minor thing.. and she not gonna blow up like a baloon and have trouble breathing from playing .. but before i knew what waas causing it was very hard ..

well done on the better choices vonni :) i bet your hungry today after only eating 900 odd though?

Vonni I wouldn't deduct too many exercise calories. Use CK as a tool to help you track your food intake - but they overestimate exercise calories.

I had a shocker yesterday - an absolute shocker! But there's no point beating myself up, I'll just eat sensibly, drink plenty of water and make sure I'm back on plan today.
