Diet today was pretty good.

Went to physio and she said I'm not allowed to run for a bit. BOO HISS! So I cycled and walked at the gym tonight. Boring but better than doing nothing.

Hi girls. Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Good to see everyone's faring well.


Keep up the good work.

Anyone heard from Gen? I hope she's doing ok with her mum, times like these really make you think about the important things in life.

hi barb, how are YOU holding up?

julia - you are awesome still going to the gym when you could perfectly use leg as excuse

me - been mowing the lawn! so proud of me and may also try for a walk as well
going to dinner tomorrow night and friday night and then easter and having family over on easter sunday and benji wants fish and chips friday lunch so lots of challenges ahead, i am confident though i can still pull a weight loss on monday! i want to and i will

[7senuf]

Go Kel. How on earth will you pull it off with all the dinner partying? lol. No matter We'll have something nice and healthy at the Garden Centre. Though their wedges are to die for lol.

I have locked my scales away and am NOT going to get on them for 2 weeks. Just to see how I go without monitoring and getting depressed. I've worked 3 flat out shifts in the last 7 days and dont eat much those days at all so hopefully with a few more shifts I will see a loss. Though George is arriving this weekend and that ALWAYS makes me gain grrrr

[smylie]

vonni i'm going to say it before ani does
eating "not much" while your working IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT!!!
your body will go EEEEEK we are not getting fed so we best hold on to this fat that is already here
so you GOT TO make time to have something to eat
do you like bananas have a banana

and i sneak peaked the scales this morning coz of all the dinner parties coming up and well NOT cool but perhaps my body not digested the roast beef i made last night

[smylie]

ps
amy - did you say you had a wii fit?
are you still loving it?
do you find it works if you cant get outside for "real" exercise?
am thinking about getting one if someone does the right thing with their kevin rudd money (someone owes us 573 buckeroos)

hey guys been run off my feet the last few days.. but feel fabulous..

Tuesday i took my friend to sit her L plates.. test.. and she passed ... so we went out for lunch to celebrate ( kid free of course) then went for a walk along the beach. It was awesome.. then swimming tuesday night


yesterday was sports day at school..
Leahs first sports day and Camerons first big kid sports day ..

Perfect weather.. I got to play easter bunny while they were setting up.. and then i took the yellow team around the course.. and they are 4 sio everything needed deminstarting.. and since im a good sport.. i was running up and back with them.. .. i even got in there little tiny sack and showed them how to jump... hehehehe.. it was a fabulious day ... after the kindy finished there little sports day we took them back for a class party ... After which i watched the races for Cameron..

Which at the time then.. 130.... it was the last day i could go and get easter eggs for the kids..... ooooops.... so raced down the shops.. got the eggs.. brought them home... then went to the gift store to get mums birthday present .. ( she loves leadlight and i didnt want to take the kids in that shop... lol can you blame me.. ) after that was done.. it was time to get the kids .. but of course we had to go to the shops on the way home becuase i forgot we had ran out of fruit.. uuugghhhh .. i was exhausted...
i sate down for maybe 30 minutes the whole day .. after the kids tea was cooked it was time for Camerons scouts.. so had to take him.. YAWN!!!! lool..

i slept very well last night..

Today was the easter assembly and fancy hat parade.. and then they had an extended playtime so leah stayed to play with Cam.. lol.. so once agin.. i was at the school half the day .. hardly seemed like it was worth leaving at 12.30 when pickup today is 2.00.. lol but we left so we could have a "HEALTHY" lunch today ....

oh and tonight is the easter fireworks... so no rest for the wicked.. and this week i musta been really wicked i tell ya... lol...

[amouse]

Kel i do have wii fit and i do love it .. and something interesting is if you work at wii fit hard with big movemnts and high energy i burn my cals on the wii then i do on the elliptical..

my avegare heart rate on the elliptical is 140 so0mething and the highest is in the 160s..

on wii fit my hearts rate avereage is in the 160s and the highest i got was 210 .. beats per minute... so to me the wii fit as long as your goiung for it is a fabulous workout.. i just did 30 minutes of the step ..hoola hoop . jog..and boxing stepper... completly kicked my own *** and burned over 450 cals in 30 minutes..

[smylie]

[amouse]

AND i didnt evn care i didnt feel like i was missing out or nothing.. lately everything has seemed to change im not hinking about food at all . where as b4 i could think abnout it all day.. i can walk through the kitchen and not grab anything other then the water i went in for.. i seem to have turned a real corner .. and my body im sure this week it has shifted in the right direction ...

weigh in in the morning cross everything for me.. anyway off to bed.. im very tired did about 4 hours of walking today all up.. ... yawn nighty night

Kel I have a Wii fit. when you come out you can have a go and see if you like it. Prepare to go home with a sore belly from laughing. I love it and the hula hoop makes me laugh and so does the balance one where you get soccer balls kicked at you. Though I end up with more hitting me in the head thatn i kick back lol. I haven been on it much cause the kids always want a go.

I do eat when I work, just not much. Well... compared to other days. I have brekky lunch and tea. No snacks.

How crazy is this? I had my pedometer properly calibrated two days ago - it had become "sluggish" and wasn't recording all my steps. So I went back to Rebel Sport and a very helpful man showed me how to calibrate it. When we tested it, it was really accurate (within 2 steps per hundred, which is pretty good).

So yesterday when I took it off at the end of the day it showed 31,690 steps/23.7km! What? I knew I do a lot of walking during the course of a day at work, but that is just insane!!!

No bloody wonder I'm tired all the time.

[amouse]

weigh in day im down to 111.2 so a loss of 800 grams.... and this time it better stick around... lol im so sick of 112 i never want to see it again.. so keep everything crossed for me that this is the end of the plateau for me..


Ani that is amazing... 23.7 km in a day... so what brand pedometer do you have and if i got the same one could you help me figure it out now you know how to set it up ???? i think it may be helpful to me too ..

its all the little things that make the journey interesting for me.. lol

[smylie]

wooohoooooooo amy!!!! carrot carrot carrot 800grams i am praying for 800grams this week!!! i need to lose 833grams per week to keep on track i think......

i used wii fit at a friends house last week, straight after i'd been thinking about needing one........ this is only if the rudd money works out for us the way i hope it does

vonni we will be too busy 2nd hand shopping to wii fit, and no chips for me at garden centre........... what else do they have? maybe we just find an awesome kebab shop i love kebabs

[smylie]

oh and ani - that is amazing how many steps you do a day!!!! you should wear a heart rate monitor too and really see what you do

what do you suggest i try and grow under a mango tree?
