So far not so good

So I am sticking to the exercise (to a point) and burning some calories, and I am down in weight. But I am soooo not sticking to the program. All up I am down 2.2kg, and I really want to be down another 2, that puts me into the next weight decade. If I work my butt off tomorrow and Tuesday and eat cleanly, I could be close to it.

My plan for tomorrow is 20 mins on the bike and 20 mins on the elliptical, and then 10mins doing squats, situp, pushups etc. From tomorrow I will also start going for a walk at night with hubby at night and look at a situp/pushup challenge. I want to increase my fitness firstly, and then I want to drop this weight.

A big fear of mine is excess skin, I have sort of come to the acceptance that I will have lots of it, but I have been trying to find ways to minimise the amount. So far I know about body brushing and toning exercises. Other things that I have been found out about, apparently dropping body fat down to around 10% and then putting the weight that you want back on. I'm not 100% on that option, 10% seems a little unattainable, but also pretty unhealthy. otherwise...Im still searching. Im thinking that maybe saving money for a whole lot of surgery seems like a better idea ;)

So tomorrow I also need to start moderating my food intake. I guess I better send Dave to do some shopping on Tuesday. ick

Weigh-in Number 1

Soooo weigh in day...I am down 0.2kg in 2 days...wooohoo

haha it would be so much better if I was super awesome at this and stuck to it like glue.

well wasnt very prepared but I will be for tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Still a big woohoo on 0.2kg down.

Now for the world not related to weight

I got a call today for an interview...I have it at 2pm tomorrow. Sweet...wish me luck.

Hubby is struggling with getting a job and was offered one by his uncle in NZ...he is thinking of going over there. That will be hard. But could be worth it.

Weekend was good...I have decided once hubby is working, making clothes is going to be my new hobby. I love love the idea. First thing to try will be some underwear. Just waiting for some dollars to buy material and elastic, then I will pull apart a pair of each of ours and make duplicates. Should make for an interesting weekend lol.
I will post a finished product.

Day 1 - done and dusted :)

ok so it wasn't the perfect starting day...but I started.. YAY ME!!!

Total calorie intake as of 8.10pm tonite - 1722 (only 500 over!!) and total burnt 186. so Net of 1541. Im still happy with that.

I did the fitness test today...omg!! Bad results, but at least its a starting point.

1km test - 14.25min
16 pushups
0 cm reach
20sec wall stand - I wasnt 100% sure on this one, cos I did it just after the treadmill and wiggle machine. I will definitely be doing more of this daily.

oh and blood pressure high for yesterday 122/112...um yeah. OMG!!

But we are only at day 1 - it should all get easier and better after today :)
