Day 10: First Set Back =(

Week: 2
Current: 88.2kg
Lost: 1/2 kg
Mood: Sick =(

Greeting from the state of Bed in flu-land! Haven't had a sniffle in MONTHS and now I can barely move! (Thank blog for laptops)

This irritatingly means I can't go to gym and I'm extra hungry! Might forgo points just for today. (Got 23 saved this week anyway from daily gym-ness and lack of snacking)

This just seems like such a set back! I'm eating better and exercising more than ever and just as I get into a routine... i get sick =(

Day 9: STEPping Up!

Week: 2
Current: 88.2kg
Lost: 1/2 KG
Mood: "AGH MY LEGS!"

Good Afternoon!
Early start today to catch my favorite 9:30 step class - kept up remarkably well seeing I haven't been in about 8 months! =P
Splashed out and got hokkien noodles for lunch (we went to the local pub bistro with my Nana, they don't really cater for those avoiding cheese, pasta and fries). Didn't do much harm points-wise though. It was a small serve and I'd only used a point on breakfast (Food + Step class = Yuck!).

What IS good though is that my gym is running a loyalty card promotion - 20 trips this month gets you a t shirt. =P It's silly but I've challenged myself to fill up my card - And fill it up I shall! =D (Already got 4 or 5)

Day 8: Still Going!

Week: 2
Current: 88.2kg
Lost: 1/2 kg
Mood: Sore Feet.  =P

Finally had time for a proper brecky today.... 1/2 can of chicken, veg and wholegrain pasta soup and a piece of multigrain toast - Yummy AND Filling!


Loads of cleaning today because we've got friends coming up from the ACT tomorrow. I plan to put some REALLY loud music on and double it up as a workout. Also did a 5km walk with my blue cattle dog Tilly. ♥

I can't believe how different I feel after only a week!!! I've got more energy, my clothes fit better and I'm actually sleeping! (I've had insomnia for the past 4 years which has put great strain on my mental and physical health)

Got mad at Patrick (my little brother) for eating all of the foods I bought for me. (Snacks, cereals, fruit, etc) - Not that he cares.
Spent last night (and tonight) watching my new Gossip Girl DVD and eating a WW Caramel sponge pudding - A good end to a busy day!

Hope your all going great guns!

More To Lose!

Week:  2
Current: 88.2kg
Lost: 1/2 kg
Mood: Exhausted!

Weighed in this morning..... I LOST 1/ 2 A KILO!

True, it may not sound like much... but as my measurements have changed, I'm building up muscle. Thus making ANY loss great!!!

Did a Balance/Fat Burner double today - Killed, but feel great now!

Need to try and fit in a better breakfast... times pressed me to resort to muesli bars..... which just dont keep me going.

Bought Gossip Girl series one on DVD as a reward for reaching my first goal. ♥




Managed to drink a litre of water today - which is an improvement! =)

On the whole..... a good first week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR: 2010 sure is looking good!

Week: 1
Current: 87kg
Lost: --
Mood: Cheery!
Survived NYE coming in 1 point under!!! =)

Had a GORGEOUS night. Stayed at the Newcastle youth hostel with the family and the Greek restaurant we went to was FANTASTIC! Food was amazing (and filling) and the open menu meant I could have little bits of everything (passed on herb bread and cheese-filled pastry though). That was followed by an hour or so of traditional Greek dancing mixed with classic disco! Midnight was marked with more dancing, plate smashing and yuuummmmmy Greek honey cake (which i split with mum =D)

What made it better was that the new dress (that was a little tight when I bought it on Boxing Day)was too loose! I had to Hollywood tape it on! After only 4 days! =D

I'll post pics soon!

I also did a 40 minute walk from the beach up to a hilltop lookout and back in the afternoon.

Yesterday was good too apart from going over on 5 point worth of nibbles at a friends place. Didn't sweat it too much though because I went for a swim and had the points I'd saved for NYE.
Last night was spent watching chick flicks with drunk backpackers at the hostel and beating my little brother at chess.

Overall a kicking start to the new year!
Wishing you all the best for the new year and beyond!

[Measurements tomorrow and weighing Monday.... Can't Wait!]
