Vonni that's such awesome news good for you! Sad to hear about your man going away though. Hope you get to see him again soon.

How did your weigh in go Vanessa? You sound like you're back on track which is great.

I started off last week with a hiss and a roar but ended up doing no exercise Thurs, Fri, Sat or Sunday and my food choices weren't great either. I can see though that it was all because I had a big night out on Friday. Too much to drink = ordering pizza bread at one bar and finishing off the night with a McDonalds cheeseburger. Slept all day Saturday then went to a friend's for dinner and what she cooked me wasn't the best for the waistline. Sunday I was just zonked and couldn't drag myself out to do anything productive.

I'm glad that I can see what threw me off track though and I'll try not to let that happen again this week. I started off well today by taking a salad to work for lunch. Didn't really have any naughty snacking apart from 3 jelly snakes then went to boot camp tonight and my god, it was harder than last week and I definitely burned off the 3 snakes and then some! Still haven't started the real boot camp, have just been doing random stuff, the real thing starts next week. I'm scared!

For dinner I had another salad and I've made one for tomorrow's lunch so that's sorted. Fingers crossed that the rain stays away tomorrow so that I can do my walk up the hill.

I had a pleasant surprise on the scale. My bad choices last week havent caught up with me yet. I have lost 1.5kg for the week. I was a tad shocked because I had a Bailey's Creme brullee the other for dessert. It will probably catch up with me for next weigh in.

It is stinking hot outside and I am seriously thinking of going to Zumba. It starts in just over half an hour... Of to get ready.

I am hoping my PT session is still on tomorrow. If the group cancels again, would you consider quitting the group? I have had 1 session in all of January, admittedly I was away for 2 of them. But still - out of a possible 6 I could have attended. I am thinking I could Zumba and there is no minimum number for that its always packed.

You'll have to work hard this week Vanessa to make sure that you don't gain next week! Have you pre-paid for your PT sessions? If you have I'd definitely stick with them. If not, might be better to give zumba a go.

I'm sore today and dreading what I'll feel like tomorrow. My back is aching from all the twisting that goes along with roundhouse punches.

Owie!

Congrats on the loss Vanessa!

Julia, I remember the torture of boot camp - but you feel great afterwards.

I got my grade for the 1st exam this semester... terrible! My worst grade since I started grad school - 81%.. a B-. Bleugh. I am finding it really hard to manage my time between work, school, etc. If I am studying, I'm not exercising. If I am exercising, I'm not doing laundry. It's a juggle.

So I was depressed about the exam but instead of sitting here eating something, I went to the gym and watched the Bachelor for 2 hrs. Knackered now but can't sleep!

Didn't gain any weight with TTOTM and hoping the losses will start again tomorrow now that the evil curse is gone.

Gen i tried setting my ticker and it wouldnt work

[LittleKiwi]

Don't be so hard on yourself Gen! A B is still a good mark and you need to cut yourself some slack - you've had a lot going on lately. Good for you for taking your frustrations out at the gym though, that's really great

As for me, I have now officially lost 2kg so I've started a new ticket as of now at 95kg.

Went up the hill with my friend last night and am stoked to say that we knocked off another 5 minutes on the time it took us to reach the top. That made us feel really good

Tonight the plan is to go to the gym and do a light workout, maybe just a walk on the treadmill or a bit of cycling. Have left the lovely salad I made for my lunch on the bench at home so will have to shoot home at some stage too!

[pacman12]

That's awesome Julia! 2kg is amazing!

Hmm Von, you usually just click on the ticker and then put in your PIN and you should be able to update the numbers.

I went to the gym to watch The Biggest Loser tonight

[LittleKiwi]

Well done Gen. I bet it makes it easier to go when you can watch some good telly while you're there!

I very nearly flagged it but am pleased to report that I went to the gym and did 20 minutes walking on the treadmill and 20 minutes cycling.

[HMM3]

Good for you Julia .... I did flag the gym tonight (so easy to do) .... but determined not to tomorrow ... I like to watch cricket on the machines ...... I don't know why we nearly always lose

This cyclone in North Queensland looks very very scary ......

Is the girl getting bigger? if so tell her u r doing a transfusion while she is sleeping. That might shut her up.

[pacman12]

Hah! Good one..lol.

I lost 0.1 since yesterday so...drumroll.... 35kg lost!!

[7senuf]

My DIET so far this year stands for Did I Eat That...yep I sure did!!!

[LittleKiwi]

Wow, congratulations Gen 35kg gone is amazing! Icon party for you ...


Vonni you can't be eating that badly ... you're in the 60's now girl!!!

I managed another 7km jog last night. Still slow but proud of myself that I can do it.

Rest day today Thank goodness it's the weekend, looking forward to it.

[pacman12]

I agree with Julia, Von - can't be that bad given your losses!

Just realized when I weighed in at 82.0 this morning and thought "Gee, not long til the 70's" - that I never just stop to be happy with where I am, I am always moving on in my mind to the next goal. I guess some of that is good to reach for, but I have to remember to stop and just appreciate my achievements so far sometimes.

[HMM3]

Nice one Gen .... 35kgs is amazing ....
