I did more exercise tonight. YAY! Jogged 1.75km which took about 13 minutes then walked a bit and then jogged 1.35km which took about 10 minutes. At the moment my jogging pace is about the same as most people's brisk walking pace but I figure I've got to start somewhere eh.
My diet has been a bit better in the last week. I've managed to take a packed lunch to work each day which is great and while I'm not counting points so am probably eating too much I do feel that my diet has improved somewhat. Have been taking a couple of boiled eggs to work for morning/afternoon tea rather than snacking on unhealthy things.
Yeah been in Italy since Friday, heading home in 2 nights.. can't wait. Have hardly eaten anything but pizza and gelato all week.. just can't eat much of it! Takes me 2 days to eat a small 1 person serving of pizza! The hotel has free brekky so have had 1 scrambled egg, 1/2 piece of bacon, cup of coffee and half a piece of fruit for brekky each day - the only protein I am getting and the rest of the time is CARBS CARBS CARBS! Heh.
Have had big happenings while I am away with my boss promoted to a great, very senior position within the hospital.. excellent news for him and I am so proud, but I am very nervous what is going to happen in the department now and who will be in charge.. might not be good for me.
I got home this morning on my private jet.. oh my god, so good! Had a couch, tv, woodgrain everything, chairs that move all around the cabin, real pillows and meals... haha. Customs/immigration guy comes on board to check your stuff... just *sigh*. It's going to be hard going back to pleb class after that experience!! No security, no lines, no shuttles... bliss!
Edit to add: I'm in the 80s!! That's about -2kg from my week in Italy.. maybe I'm not eating ENOUGH carbs at home... hmmm. Off to check out the food diaries.
FACEBOOK lol. Hi guys I'm here, just been on nights oh yayy. I'm down to 72. been up n down the past couple of weeks (has to be the shift work).
But I have a school reunion to go to on 18th december and wasn't going to go but a friend convinced me i just "have to".
So my goals until then - watch what i eat a bit better, restart the gym, obtain my ab circle pro (woohoo its in the post) and lose 5kg. Think I can do it by then?
I'll be interested to hear how your new contraption is Vonni. I see the ad on tv and it looks so uncomfortable!
I've been keeping up my jogging training and while it's still hard I'm proud of myself for doing it. Tonight I build up from 10 minutes to 15
According to the rickety bathroom scales at home I've lost 1kg too which is a nice thought. Not sure how reliable they are though!
I'm trying to watch what I eat and packed a delicious salad for lunch today and will do the same tomorrow. The key for me is to be organised and get it all done the night before otherwise I'm hopeless.
Things at home aren't great, my relationship is fast going down the gurgler and I'm not sure what to do. I'm not happy but I'm not unhappy enough to do anything about it if that makes sense. I know that we need to break up and that's the way we're headed but I really don't want to have to be the one to do it
Got it yesterday - faster than I thought. Put it together and jumped on. It isn't really uncomfortable but my knees feel a bit bruised today. i did a workout this morning on it too. yet to feel sore abs but the lady at call centre and a few friends say it hurts.
Got so much energy though (haven't worked out in weeks) so I bit the bullet and mowed the lawn. what an adventure that was grrr. but feel great all but buggered. No time to be tired though, i have a friend coming over for sinner tonight - roast pork
Julia you're doing so well - on the treadmill in Italy the other night I tried jogging and was dying doing 2 or 3 minutes haha!!
Sorry to hear about your bf - personally I have to end it once i know it's not going to work out, but don't take my advice on anything relationship bc I am a serial singleton!!
Honestly Gen, I am the world's SLOWEST jogger. I literally jog at about the same pace that would be a brisk walk for most people! But hey, I've got to start somewhere right?
My program had me jogging for 15 minutes last night and it was hard. I can do it though and I'm determined to keep going. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's not going to happen overnight but it will happen
