I'm back! The only reason I have been away is that Telstra took a week (and several phone calls from me) to come and fix a non-working phone.
I really missed everyone here - it's bizarre, but it showed me how important your support and that 'shared journey' is to my successful weight loss. I did lose some this week… another 0.8kg, but that was from expending a lot of energy moving house, rather than eating properly. Now that I am in the 80's my next goal is to reach 85kg by the end of May. That might seem a little slow to some people, but for me it's realistic. Lindor - WHAT are you doing? What happened last week matey? I want to know everything (as per usual :p ). Kylie, it's very gutsy to lay charges. It's so hard to do, and yet I am really pleased your family decided to go down that path. It won't be easy. Gen you have my sympathy with your achilles. Mine has been torn for ages now, and the best thing I can suggest is you don't do "stop/start" stuff. Walking on flat surfaces is OK - but hills are a problem. Good luck with getting it better. Vonni and Barb I really want to reply to you and write a lot more than this, but as I write this I am downloading emails, and sofar I have 575 unread emails and it is STILL going. I also need to unpack my office - blurk! The move went OK. Removalists were lazy buggers, and I ended up doing six loads in my car (it's a 1.5 hour round trip), because they were pulling a "go slow", and then couldn't manage to fit everything in one load - yeah right. So I jarred their little plans of "we need to do a 2nd load", and did it myself! Nothing broke but I have spent days unpacking, cleaning, washing and phoning/abusing/threatening Telstra. But I love my new place already. I went for a walk the other day and got completely lost. Then yesterday I went for a walk along the Swan River (which is really close to my house) - it was just gorgeous. Anyway - emails are up to '632 unread' and the box-unpacking-fairys appear to be on strike! It is SO good to be back though! :) Ani |
Hello - welcome back Ani, we missed you!!! Glad you're enjoying the new place, I'm sure once the unpacking is done you'll enjoy it more!
I am thrilled this week - weird, as I've had 2 days of complete rest due to my foot, and one day of only Pilates, but I lost 1.5 kg!!!!!!!!!! I did stick tightly to my 1400 cal/day. |
YAY Ani. Its good to see your back amongst us again. I think we all missed you.
:carrot: Conratulations to everyone that had a loss this week. Its great to see. Keep it up. Quote:
Having said that, today, so far so good. Lets see what tomorrow brings. XX Barb |
Gen that's a heap of weight to lose - woo hoo! You'll soon be in the 80's at this rate :)
Barb I hardly ever feel motivated. I usually just "do it", and occasionally get a spurt of motivation - but one of the things I've learned for myself is that if you wait until you feel like it, nothing will happen. At the moment my routines are in chaos and I don't feel like exercising or eating properly - I'm feeling unsettled (for rather obvious reasons), and I would love to have a pig out … a banquet of bad, naughty food. But I just tell myself that I can be a pig tomorrow if I want, but today I'll just eat within my calories. I didn't walk today because I feel really fatigued from moving and unpacking etc - but lurking in the back of my head is this little voice telling me I need to get back on track this week. I think everyone's motivation/reason is different. When I went for a walk yesterday all my usual clothes were on the line so I optimistically grabbed a pair of pants I hadn't been able to wear for about five years. They fit comfortably - and reminded me that even though I can't see it, this hard work is paying off, and my body is sloooooooowly changing shape! You can do it - the biggest battle we all face is in our heads IMO, and I have faith in you. :) Ani |
Great to have you back Ani!! And well done on your loss!!
I am just here for lunch and I need to get back to work... ......so I'll be back. But I just wanted to say welcome back :) And to stay on topic...so far so good for today :lol: |
:welcome2: BACK ANI
Glad to hear move is going ok. And u lost weight. maybe i need to move house lol. NOT (packing up 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 loungerooms + office, kitchen and laundry is not my idea of fun) (oh and the other halfs shed) Gen bravo on yr weight loss. Barb? u weigh in on wednesdays don't you? barb don't despair. U and Lindor can hold up the wagon to jump back on.:trampo: Well I have decided to go back to counting calories. I even worked out on calorie king how many calories my home made spaghetti bolognaise is. Suprisingly its only 1400 for 6 serves. So in all I think its a pretty low cal meal at 233 a serve. Don't ask me what grams I have no idea lol. I will weigh it in total when I eat tonight. Ani I feel for u being on phone to telstra forever. I would've broken phone more.:club: Hey is anyone in here from Melbourne? I'm taking kids to St Kilda for 4 days and Luna Park later in the year. Has anyone been? cheers Vonni |
I'm originally from Bayside Melbourne, my folks are still there. St Kilda is very trendy these days!
Ani, I plan to join you on 85kg by the end of May. I have a little bit further to go, but I do love competition and challenge! Race you! |
Hope its OK if I join here!
I'm 23, heavy as **** and really need to do something. I'm doing Sureslim (and am currently going through withdrawels for my Pepsi Max! TWO DAYS!) and I'm actully going to follow it this time. If I don't lose weight I'll never have kids, I won't love myself enough to attrack someone, plus I just want to look hot. I'm SO sick of the phrase "you'd be so pretty" I AM pretty damn it! |
:welcome: Renny Sue hope you enjoy yr time with us here. I found these guys and now wouldn't be without em.
Thanks Gen. I thought St Kilda had gotten trendy. I was born in Frankston. But moved away at 5 and grew up on Gold Coast. I have been back a few times though. I just wanted to give my kids and DH a plane rip so figured what the heck we'll go to Luna Park. LOL. Now I just have to start saving. Thats 2 Holidays now to save for. Melbourne and New Zealand. Gosh I better stop shopping. lol. Anyhow, I'm off to bed. I have been and posted on this darn thread 5 times today. Sheesh. Must love u all lol. buh byeee VONNI |
Renny Sue - welcome :). I joined in here about six or seven months ago and the women made me feel really at home. I'm sure I've brought the tone of Aussie Chicks down a level or two :D but it takes all kinds.
The women who post in here are wise, funny, inspiring and really supportive. They know lots of stuff, and will support you through your journey. Gen I'm not sure whether to accept your challenge to a race to 85kg or not. No doubt you'll beat me, because you're a lot more determined and focussed than I am. Oh bugger it… you're on :)! Lindor are you around? Or are you busy catching up on the 500 thousand squats and stepups that got missed last week? Vonni I love reading your posts. I wouldn't care if you posted in here 20 times a day, I always have a giggle or learn something - or am constantly amazed by how much you fit into your life. I've had a shocker of a day. I refuse to confess what I've eaten, or to tell you that I did ZERO exercise. But let's just say I have a lot of work to do tomorrow to get back on track. Maybe it's the move or the struggle to find my routine, but I feel a long way away from where I was a week ago - and I really need to do something to change that. Or I'll go backwards. Blurk! I'm also in a mood with the Purple Team. We had our Week Four weigh-in tonight, and one woman has managed to lose 0.1kg in FOUR weeks! Hmmm… :) Ani |
I'm here :)
Trying to keep a grip on things :lol: Lots happening at work this week, so probably extra hours on the cards. Nothing major maybe an hour each afternoon and shortened lunch breaks...all for my benefit though. And I am tired. Didn't sleep too well last night, kept thinking of snakes!!! Hope this doesn't happen for too long!! Argh!! All said though, today has been good. Ate well and did my step-ups. A little shy with the water though - 1.5L. Now I am sitting here wondering what I am going to write in the morning!! :lol: Renny Sue, welcome!! I'm not going to repeat what Ani and Vonni have already said (all true of course!)...too many nice things about us will only give us all big heads!! :p Good luck with the new lifestyle changes you are going to face. And take it from someone who used to drink at least 6 cans of diet coke a day - you can live with out them!! ;) The best thing I have found about this group...I cannot lie to them! I can't say I had a good day when I didn't. I can't say I lost half a kilo when I really gained it. They keep me honest. :) Alright, I am going to try to sleep! |
SNAKES? SNAKES? Have u been watching scary movies? Or did I miss something in an earlier post? Lindor it was 12am when u posted.... no wonder yr tired lmao.
Oh, and diet drinks? blerk!! I have never been able to stomach them. Can't handle the aftertaste. So I just go without. I have a normal softdrink occassionally (bout half a can once a week). I have found that once u stop cold turkey with sweet drinks and it's been a while u really can't go back to it without feeling yuk. Speaking of aftertaste. Thats why I refuse to use sweetner in coffee. It's still 2 sugars or I don't have a cuppa at all. Ani if it's any consolation I fell y/day too. And exercise? whats that? I've walked once in 4 weeks. Or does shopping and working on my feet count? Today so far I have had a hot cross bun and coffee. I feel a bit yuk today so I know to be on watch for pick eating. Hmmm and if this wind dies down I may just go for a stroll this arvo. Gotta go VONNI |
It was actually 10pm my time when I posted Vonni :p
And yeah, I guess you missed the post back there where I briefly mentioned the snake in my bedroom! I was the same with my diet coke Vonni, I went cold turkey, and now if I open one I struggle to drink the full can. But I also managed to cut the sugar out of my coffee...and I don't use sweetners either! :p Well, have a good day all! I gotta get to work! |
Hi Renny Sue!!!! I am a thorn in this bunch of roses for sure! But don't mind me! looking forward to hearing about your efforts.
Ladies, did we all catch some horrible internet virus that causes us to jump off the wagon? Me too. :O Again, the old 'invited to a friends house, had to eat what they ate' thing. I have never eaten pizza so often! Just as soon as I decide that I'm on a diet, and I'm watching how I eat, everybody wants to give me PIZZA!!!!!! Ok, so nothing else is really happening. I am totally bogged down this week with AIESEC again. I keep telling myself that being this busy is good, and that it will all pay off. IT BETTER. For example, on Friday, my schedule is: 9-10 Lecture 10-12 Tutorial 12-12.30 My Break for the whole day 12.30-2 Indiviual Interview Person A 2-2.30 Individual Interview Person B 2.30-3 Individual Interview Person C 3-4 Tutorial 4-6 Lecture 6-6.30 Travel to gym 6.30-7.30 Balance class (im gonna need it) Home. *screams* I cant keep this up. Especially as this kind of schedule leaves zero time to study. But - chin up. I'll get through. I'm not sure how, just yet, but I will. Lindor - I don't blame you about not sleeping well. I don't think I would either! Ani!!!!! Woo! Glad to hear you are in one piece. I dare you to race Gen! Vonni - fake sugar was never for me either. See you all soon. Kylie |
If I found a snake in my bedroom I would move out - how on earth did you cope with that? What kind of snake was it?
My body is feeling really tired after the move - I slept 10 hours last night, which is unheard of for me, and I really feel like doing nothing today. But I really need to find a stupidmarket, and have to keep unpacking my office. And as much as I don't feel like it I really must go for a walk. Just down the road here (about a 10 minute walk) is the Swan River, and the views back to the city are stunning. There are a few walk trails along the river, one of which I found the other day… so I must go and find another one this morning. Even though I feel like I'm in a bit of a slump with my weight loss, I can't afford to let that become an excuse. It's a danger place for me; and a very timely reminder that I haven't fully learned new lifestyle habits. Kylie, you're right. It sounds like most of us have caught this bug! Now we have to figure out a way to work through it I reckon. :) Ani |
I have got to stop posting negative stuff on here.
Welcome to you Renny Sue. I agree with everyting said about the ladies on here. All the support you need is right here. And Lindor is so right about being honest about everything too! I can't lie about how I'm doing either! Yesterday was a good day for me. Ate well and exercised. I think I might need to count calories too. At least that way I'll have some sort of idea how much food is enough. I don't like diet drinks either. I only really drink water, coffee and tea, no sugar added! Occasionally I'll have a glass of diet cordial, but not often though. A few years back I never had water at all unless it was in my coffee!, but now I can't seem to go without it. |
I need to vent
OK this is bull#*@! I feel crap, totally physically and mentally exhausted. I must need sleep. Everything seems to be making me cry. In watched news this morn and cried.
My daughter forgot lunch so I rugged up and was all ready to walk to the school to hand it over but then a friend rang wanted me to take her to town. So there went the 20 minute walk and I got in the car instead. I've eaten nothing but crap today. So far today I've had a hot cross bun, coffee, got some asian in the shops and it tasted like oil so only had a bit of chinese omlette out of a whole container, it was all so disgusting. I was feeling low energy so I had a caramello koala then came home and had a frozen yoghurt. Now I feel blerk. Bubs in bed and I want to have a sleep but DH due home in an hour then kids an hour after that then I have to get tea organised. I don't even FEEL like cooking and usually I love cooking. I was all systems go for a walk this arvo but if this lethargy keeps hanging I'm sure that will blow out the window too. Ok, enough venting. I'm going back to couch. VONNI |
Ok. Thats IT. I don't know what has happened here, but we are all wallowing in misery, and I don't like it one bit!
It seems I am having a crappy week, Ani is stuffed after moving, poor Vonni sounds like she's had enough...and Lindor is probably having nightmares about snakes! Have a look at us all. I think it is time for a change of focus. Ok, lets accept, (for the moment) that we all feel crap. There are 20 million obstacles in our way at the moment. But guess what? We aren't going to let that stop us from achieving what we want. So let's buckle up, have a drink of water, and hold on tight, because this Wagon is express. No stops, no falling off. Chins Up girls - don't you know there's a war on? Kylie |
:whoo: OK :whoo: I', running :whoo: to catch up to it :whoo:
Bugga this, i'll just get on something faster :moped: HEHE Kylie thanks for making me laugh. Yes we CAN do this :carrot: VONNI |
*hugs to everyone*
I've had a reasonbly good day. I did have two cans of diet drink, but I still drank 2L of water. My big fall was when I got home. I grabbed a six inch sub on the way to the gym (was starving) and than found a steaksoftball at home, which I ate (not spoke to eat steak yet on SureSlim) Oops! I did do half an hour of cardio and a pilates class, so let's hope that balanced it out! |
Good god, what's happened to everyone, it's misery central!! I feel good! It's amazing what a big loss can do for your motivation - the past 2 weeks were blah, and now I'm back at high motivation. I am doing less exercise, but still eating great. Mostly because I don't buy the stuff that derails me - the last fortnight reminded me if it's there, I"ll eat it.. all at once.. so don't buy it!!
I slept through my alarm for PT on Monday - oops!! Must set 2 for tomorrow! Selling stuff on ebay and can't believe how much TIME it takes to measure, wash, iron, list, answer questions, get posted sorted etc. Sheesh. I need to charge a "hassle" fee!! Still, it'll be nice to get rid of my "junk" - and get money for it!! Must go and buy nursing shoes tomorrow - have put myself available for the agency Thursday arvo (first shift in over 3 years!! eek!!) so need something to wear! Heads up, bums down ladies!! Cheer up!! |
Yesterday...
Breakfast: Bowl of cereal Coffee Lunch: 4 x Cruskits with tuna, tomato and 'lite' cheese Apple Coffee After work...walked into a shop for milk. Came home Put the milk in the fridge. Ate the tin of Pringles (give me credit for selecting the 'lite' ones) Ate the packet of Tim Tams Ate the two bars of chocolate And drank the iced coffee! Tried to nap for half an hour or so (my sleep has been so screwed up since the snake experience!) Ate dinner (microwaved chicken parmagiana)!!!!! Finished the evening off playing scrabble on the PC and nibbling on the smoked almonds I also bought!!! This morning I feel fat, ugly and stupid for going down that track last night! Thing is I don't even know why I did it! Why do I do this to myself? For three weeks I was doing so well and then I blow all that work in a few days!! I am back on track this morning (again), but to be honest, I am really wondering why I am bothering? It starting to become obvious to me that I can't do this!! Sorry folks...will work on a more cheery and positive post this evening! :) |
Quote:
My turning points were - struggling to put a pair of socks on. struggling to take care of feminine hygeine (George), Just bending down to pick something up off floor. Not being able to push my kids on a swing. Chin up Lindor. It bothered you enough to start doing something about it. PLEASE don't give up.:nono: |
I'm feeling a bit better today. For the last couple of days I've had a bit of a seroconversion reaction to my flu jab and been a bit off colour… but I would much rather that than a full dose of the flu!
My mum goes in to hospital for back surgery on Friday. She's in NSW - and I would love to be there with her. She's 84-years-old, and I really hope she'll be OK. I spent yesterday helping a friend move house. Didn't realise she was moving to the other end of Perth until i got there to load boxes into my car. Come on Lindor - what can we do to help you here mate? None of us want you to give up, and neither do you! Don't demonise food… and don't let a bad day make you think you're a failure :hug: OK - I'm going to discover another walk around this gorgeous river before I unpack some more boxes. I also need to do some house cleaning today, so I had better get cracking. I'm really hoping to lose another 0.5kg this week, and the only way I'm going to make that happen is if I get out there and do it. :) Ani |
Hi girls
Augigi - Are you excited about getting back in the saddle? I hope the day goes really well! Lindor!!!! :hug: What are we going to do with you? :) Next time you pop into the shops, just imagine you have all of us standing next to you. Let us be your concience! It's like your own personal cheer squad. Or, write a list, and stick to it. I heard some ladies just don't go down those aisles at all. :shrug: Ani - as if moving house for yourself wasn't enough, you help someone else do it days later!! You must be a good friend indeed. I hope you are taking care of your back. Also - I hope your mum will be ok. Is there any way you can get over there? I am going well so far today. I met a friend at uni at 7.30 this morning to study for my accounting test at 9am. I think I passed, so thats ok. I'm off to work at 3, with some study and the dishes in between. Shake for brekkie, chicken and salad for lunch, so far so good. I have been slack on the water intake, and feeling it. I will increase that from zip to at least 2L again. Keep it up girls! Up, up and away! Kylie |
Oh Lindor, poor you. It's so easy to get down after a few "bad" days - but it really doesn't have to be the end of the world. Just think how long your life is - a few days is nothing! Get out and do some penitence walking instead of feeling guilty.
The other thing I thought after seeing your menu, maybe you could eat more for breakfast so you're not so hungry later? If I just have cereal in the morning I go crazy later on too. It's hard, and I think this will be hard for all of us every day for the rest of our lives. All we can do is keep plodding... |
So far so good today.
Had a couple of pieces of toast for brekky. 2 coffees and for an early lunch 1.5 ham sandwiches. the other .5 went to bubba lol. I know its an early lunch, but I work this afternoon and don't actually have a meal tonight. It's to late by the time I get home, so I eat more in the middle of day and just have grapes and a couple of crackers with cheese for my break around 6.30. I've had the music up loud listening to collective soul and snow patrol cleaning the house. I figured if I can't get outside to walk I can shake my groove thang doing housework.:dancer: I was starving. Supposed to go shopping soon, but not feeling like it before work so will do on Sat instead. All in all I feel ok today. Still yuk with this head cold but coping. Went for some bloods y/day 2 check on immuno status for when I enrol in nursing. Have to have flu shot and tetanus next week yukk. ok must go. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day and will post in tomorrow sometime. DH is home tomorrow and gets shirty if I'm on PC so I'll just lock myself in here. lol Cheers all VONNI :write: |
Hi all!
I just got pointed to this thread, looks like you guys are a real support for each other :) I'd love to join you all, I've just started (for the millonth time!) to lose weight and this time I want to be held accountable!!! I'm a 20yo uni student, and I have about 40kg to lose, so I've got a way to go: but have my 21st in september as motivation,,, anyway, look forward to meeting you all !! kate :) |
Hello people, Yes it’s me still lurking in the background. Well, I am not really I have put up one or two posts but when it came to sticking them on the board it said I was not log in. And I lost it. So now I put it in the word pad and cut and copy.
 Love this 7senuf, just my style. Why run when you can ride. Welcome Renny Sue you will see me here (sometimes) .Talking of hot cross buns one of my sons works next to the tip top bread and brought home a box full of seconds. I ate 4!!!!. HUH What the heck they were nice, but not enough raisins, no butter, and I worked them off at the gym today. Don’t do diet drinks, unless it’s mixed. LOL. mmmm maybe I should change my name to spider or some such. Just to make you think I am always around looking at you will those many eyes. Any way off to finish cooking dinner for all those kids that have just run off, to do what ever young ones do these days.@#%!& TEENAGERS!!!! But what can you do LOL |
Back again, Thanks for being here. I was just about to help myself to fried up Chinese flavoured mutton flaps and potatoes. Gave them a pass, and having 150grm potatoes, salad and chicken breast.
Whew just as well you’s were on my mind LOL. |
:welcome: Katie! These girls are a great support - there is plenty of experience and great advice, if ever you need it.
What are you up to when it comes to diet/exercise? MaryL - good to see you again! Well Done on choosing the chicken! It's soooo hard to say no sometimes! Vonni, I hope you are feeling better soon. Will your cold affect the outcome of the tests? Me - I'm off to the gym to do a pump class and some Cardio, I didnt go on Tuesday coz I studied for that test. Although, the end of daylight savings has made it a little more difficult to get out of the house. It's so damn cold on my scooter, I get blown all over the road. But - I keep reminding myself that that is what I get for $4/week petrol. lol! Oh! I forgot - I weighed myself today (for the **** of it) and I've now officially lost 10kg! woooooohoooooo! Kylie |
I've still been really good. I'm only supposed to eat every five hours which I have been sticking to. What kills me is after the gym, I am RAVENOUS and usually eat an apple. Its not stricly part of the SureSlim plan, but its better than starving.
I've all but given up the diet drinks, with at most, having two a day (and I would drink four or five cans a day at work, get home and have a two litre bottle or two) I haven't had withdrawels bad thankfully, so hopefully that's the can a day that's helping that. I'll cut it out completly in a month or two. I am drinking two litres of water a day too. I've been going to the gym every day and doing at least half an hour of cardio. Every second day I've been doing weight, and did a pilates class on Tuesday night, which I'll continue doing. I know this is impossible, but my flexibility seems to have improved slightly after the class. I couldn't do the quad stretch before, wheras now I can (at an angle) I know its only week one, but I'm quietly confident. I've stuck a picture of skydivers on my fridge and might ask my boss's permission to do that on the chip machine at work (that was my BIG downfall) |
Hi all!
Just wanted to let you know that I am still around. I am not achieving much this week in regard to diet and exercise, and I think I have written the whole week of now. I am really disappointed in myself as I was well on my way to reaching my short term goal of being under 80kg by the end of this month, but with last week and this week, I have well and truly put an end to that. I am sure the scales will be up again on Monday. I am away for the beginning of next week, I am sure that is going to throw my routine as well. Ok, just quickly as I need to get to work... Time2Shine! Welcome :) Look forward to hearing more of you as you go through your journey. Kylie, well done on making the 10kg!!! You going to give yourself a little reward for that? :p Renny Sue, good on you for cutting back the cans of diet drink! You should find you feel a lot better with the water intake too...despite the 3486 trips to the toilet at night!! Look at that as being part of you exercise routine! :lol: I know I have missed replies, sorry, but I gotta run! And I got a wagon to find too :lol: Have a good day ladies :) |
Just checking in! Welcome to the new women here, looking forward to getting to know you better and share this journey with you.
I'm back on track (mostly), trying to adjust to a new routine and still unpacking boxes! It didn't help that this house I have just moved into was really dirty - so I've had to clean two houses in a week or so. I walked for an hour yesterday morning and stuck to around 1600 calories. I haven't been drinking enough water this week (it has been cold here), so I need to improve that. My mum has back surgery today - so I'm a little preoccupied about that, but hopefully all will be OK. I would feel a lot better if she was younger, but the Dr assures her that she's a robust 84-year-old (which I knew anyway), and this will improve the quality of her life. So fingers crossed. Lindor what are we going to do with you? Why are you self-sabotaging when you are so close to the 70's? There was a booklet in the mail yesterday about local recreational facilities. I'm going to check out the local aquatic centre and maybe sign up for Pilates too. Hope everyone is OK and racing to grab that wagon! :) Ani |
There are some great Pilates videos too - I'm too unco to go to classes - I did it last year and felt such a spaz, but I love doing it at home. I got the Winsor Pilates videos on ebay and I LOVE them!
|
Afternoon all. Everyone seems to be pretty much chins up.
Kylie I did ask if the cold willa ffect results but they said no. But I am reluctant to get immunisations done next week. My appointment is Thursday so hopefully the clod will be over with by then. Also my little one turns one on Tuesday and is supposed to be having her immunisation as well, but now she has gone and caught my cold the poor mite. WELCOME to Katie. And hi there rennysue and Mary. Haven't seen u about but as you say yr still lurking so I'll be sure to say BOO every now and then to make ya come down from yr web. :p Ani how's yr mum? Hope all went well. Give her a big hug from me and I'm sure all of us. Lindor I sympathise. I just can't seem to get round hurdles at the moment either. I was doing so well y/day but when I had my break at work ate twisties and nougat. Grrrr. MONDAY is D DAY for me. I won't say tomorrow cause I'll just beat myself up if I fail on my lunch break at work again. I really need to get back into drinking water. I have noticed since I stopped walking I stopped drinking and I am snacking again. I am starting tomorrow with the water again and Sunday going for a walk. MONDAY aim for 1.5lt water every day and at least a 10minute walk or I'll "shake my ***" to music while houseworking. My energy seems sapped lately. I wish I could afford to go to gym classes. But finances just don't allow. Also we have a CURVES here and I wanted to give that a go. But once again.... finances. I can pay casual fees at gym, but u still need to pay a $60 up front fee for them to show u the ropes and give u a program. Hmmm maybe I'll just bite the bullet and dip into holiday fund. Ok gotta fly. Bub eating everything she can fit into her mouth so need to go diving with my fingers (and she doesn't let me in either) TATATAAAA VONNI |
Vonni. Just thought I would let you know that this month Curves is offering no joining fee if you donate a bag of groceries which will be passed on to a local womens shelter, thats the deal in SA at the momen anyway.
XX Barb |
Thanks Barb I will be sure to check it out. I have a friend who goes and she loves it so maybe I will too. :)

hey all
Well I survived my Friday from ****, and actually it wasn't that bad. All the candidates I interviewed are really promising. (AIESEC Recruitment). I ditched my Balance class because I was barely keeping my eyes open, and I just couldn't face the cold wet drive to the gym and back. Anyway, someone asked if I am going to reward myself for dropping the 10kg, and I have no idea. bf and I have decided to start saving to buy a house, so money has suddenly become this super precious resource. (even more than normal). I'm not very god at spoiling me, so I might pass. My monthly treat is buying Super Food Ideas and Good Taste magazines. I love reading all the new recipes, I can't always afford the ingredients, but it's nice to dream :P I cooked dinner tonight, bf and I were both home at the same time!!! Just chicken stirfry, but it was the first hot meal I've had since starting those meal replacements. It was lovely! The ingredients were all on my 'allowed' list, so no problems there either! I am glad to see a happier and more positive tone around... :D The wagon is packed, and we are ready to go! Lets leave the kilos in the dust! Woo! Sleepy but full and content! Kylie |
Hi people, just came to ask if you have a weight in day? I find that I really need some sort of accountably . I have the gym thing going on, and I have good days. BUT when I get home at nite I screw it all up. And blow the ****e out of the whole day. And eat it all back in the evening.
( OH she says, some one come and slap me!!!!) Ani, sorry to hear about your Mum, I hope she is Ok. Please let us know. Elerine congrats on the 10kg WELL DONE!! Now you will have to think of something that does not cost money to reward yourself with. Well, that’s enough feeling sorry for myself better get on with the day. I will be good today. I will be good today . I will be good today. I will be good today . LOL |
