Ooooh I went and saw The Da Vinci Code on Thursday, I loved it, what did you thingk Jo?
Oh and.... I did it. Yesterday I went to the gym and I did a 45 minute spin class, and then followed it with a 1 hour pump class. Mind you I wasn't using heavy weights at the pump class, and I was a bit fatigued when we were doing triceps and crunches, but otherwise I did well, and I didn't go home and nap either.
In fact I got home and studied, my mind was clear, and I felt great. So it can be done, and I'm considering doing it every weekend, so that I managed to stuff in my 3 spin classes and at least 1 if not 2 pump classes a week.
Oh and the scales were back down to 85kg today. Phew, down about 2kg again this week.
I did Jillian's cardio kickbox dvd twice yesterday. I went through it once (not skipping anything) and then redid the whole thing. I am glad today is a rest day!
I start week three tomorrow. I feel like I should have a mini graduation party or something!! I mean, this will be my fourth week, but I repeated week two as my daughter was sick!
I can't wait to start!
Well yeah .. I've started on the exercising now and am feeling very motivated. I've decided not to be to hard on myself with food and let it happen/change naturally. And I will not 'go without' just keep the balance! That's the key for me. Weighing in and measurements will be taken on a monthly basis for full effect. And I'll try not to jump on a scale before weigh in day .. haha! Hopefully the results will have more of an impact on me that way.
I agree Kathy the DaVinci Code was good. I read the book some time ago and was happy to see that it was as exciting on the big screen and pretty true to the book. Except one part which was important (in my opinion) and I didn't think there was a real need to leave it out of the movie. But overall, I thought they'd done a great job (even Tom Hanks who I had doubts about) haha!
Hope everyone is doing well and keeps posting. You are all very motivating!!
Morning all
Well I am on the computer so I don't eat....trying to keep my mind off the bickies I made on the weekend. I had to put them out of my sight and in the cupboard. You all are doing well especially with the exercise part.
I have started another diet with my sister. She is always watching her weight also. We started out journey together back in 2002 when I originally lost my 60kg. It was such a competition that I think that is why I succeeded. WEll now I have put some weight back on and trying desperately to get back on the wagon(if I can stay well enough this time)....soo...we joined another weight loss centre It is called the Tony Ferguson Diet. Basically it is shakes twice a day and a balanced meal the other. It is only day 3 today and boy I am hungry. I know I am detoxing as I cannot get off the toilet(tmi).
WE have to weigh in weekly and have a little chat. That seems to work for me knowing that I have paid good money to someone when really I know how to diet(I think we all do it is just the willpower bit that is hard)
It seems to be the committment I make to someone else not only myself as I cheat on myself too often.
Anyhow guys, keep dieting and posting. Oh sorry I missed the chat on Friday...we went to mums for tea....yes it was yummy...sort of the last supper before another diet.And welcome back Jo.xxxxleeny
I just found the Aussie Chicks thread and I thought i'd come on over and say hello I'm currently living in (the now quite chilly) Canberra.
I'm mostly maintaining these days and working on improving my fitness levels but I DO have that last dratted kilo or two I wouldn't mind saying goodbye to as well.
Welcome to the gang Livi, its nice to meet more Aussies. Its such a small worl isn't it. Congrats on your weight loss and for getting to mainenance, you have done so well. I bet you are proud, and feeling terrific.
I have to agree, it is horribally cold here at the moment, and windter has just started. Sigh
I honestly dont know what was up with me today. I was woken up by dd at 4am and had trouble going back to sleep due to nausea. But eventually I rolled onto my tummy and snoozed away.
I woke up again at 7.30, and nagged myself into going to the gym. After dropping dd at preschool, I went to the gym to be disappointed that there wasn't a spin class on as I had thought, so went back to my Pink Gym and decided to do the cardio I would have done in spin.
First I started on the treadmill... oh, my knees hurt. Whats with that. Gave it 10 minutes and thought I'll try the eliptical. 5 minutes in it was too hard, I was sweating like a pig, heart rate not up there, and starting to feel nauseated.
So I thought, I'll try the bikes. Which I also didn't last long on.
So I went and climbed into the shower, and came home to bed. I tell ya I felt like the proverbial cr@polla. I did feel better after the sleep, but still go slight nausea, and feeling fatigued.
I plan on having another rest day, Tuesday is always rest day cause I go to craft and go back for a spin class on Wednesday. But I wish I knew what was up today.
This week I've gained 1kg. GRRRRRR!!! I think it's probably due to the fact that I had a couple of nights out drinking and ate Burger King twice a couple of weekends ago. Damn it was good at the time but now I have to deal with the concequence.
So, back to focus now. Have injured my knee again so there won't be any jogging for me but I'll go to the gym and walk.
Little Kiwi, that weight gain is probably water weight. I suggest cutting back on the old salt, cause that does nothing for us, and to increase your water. I cant remember what plan you are on, but those should help you lose that kilo again too. I've also heard that a good sweat in a sauna is good for weight loss (but not fat loss, its water) but may give you the boost you need.
NEVER!!! That's one thing I really don't think I could do without! I'll try and cut down though. Have done 2 sessions at the gym so far this week but won't be going tonight as I have a date Hope it goes ok as I've never met the guy before!
I'm aiming for 4 exercise sessions this week. Have started doing a star chart and have stuck it on my bedroom door so that the damn thing is looking at me every time I walk in and out of my room and that's helping me to stick with it.
I'm not doing any particular plan, just trying to make better food decisions and exercise more
I've been sick this week and haven't worked out at all foodwise it hasn't been to good either. But am starting to feel better now and can get back on track. Just keeping you all posted. I'll definitely be at the chat tomorrow night to. Seeya there!
Hi ya all, been a busy week for me, I havent been on this sight at all. Glad to see everyone sounds really positive.Ive gotta say Kathy, im impressed. To do spin followed by a pump class is a huge workout. Just shows we're capable of more than we give ourselves credit for. I thought I might add that pump used to give m e sore knees , apparently from the squats. I was told not to squat too low to help with that. Well done Leeny, 2kg already. Its great you have you're sister to do your new plan with. Sounds hard going though, i'd starve on that amount of food.
Lyria, welcome!. You look gorgeous in your photo. You said you're mainly maintaining now--how much have you lost and how did you do it. Congrats too, you really look great.
Littlekiwi, it sucks seeing the scales go up doesnt it. A kg could just be from water I agree. I regularly go up a kg in a day only to see it disappear just as quick. Drink heaps of water, that helps.
Jo, sorry to hear you not feeling well. tomorrows a new day. Its always easier to stay OP when you're well. I suck at dieting when Im tired or sick (which is a lot) . Just keep pluggin away
I wont make it to the chat room tomorrow night I have a big night out. My sisters turning 40 and she's celebrating with about 10 of us. I know its going to be big because her and her friends really havent changed much since they were teenagers (I sound old dont I). They party hard and for once Im feeling good enough about myself to go out with them. The past few years Ive always found an excuse not to go, but this years different. Im sure Ill be very sad and sorry over the weekend. So have fun and Ill have a champers for you all!!
