Agony

I think it's time for a holiday, I am exhausted. My back is so tight everyone at home keeps rubbing it, giving me voltarin and putting deep heat, it's not loosening up, plus I can't seem to get rid of this ear infection, so dumb. Anyway on the so much better side, only 3 assignments left of term... Woohoo. And i intend to enjoy the break! I need to get my hot lil hands on a copy of the magic, thats my plan.
D still isnt working...boohoo, so soon we will need to start thinking of different options. I have been considering looking at buying a cafe, we'll have to see tho. See what kind of finance i could get. Who knows.

Another week down

Yeah I've been a lil tragic. I am seriously struggling to keep on track. I have no motivation to exercise, and food has been pretty bad. Still a bit better, just not real good. The last two weeks have been the worst, but alot of that has been bad planning. I have been having cup of soups for lunch, and generally eggs/or toast for breakfast. I have been sneaking in a few too many cold coffees though, so that needs to stop. Back to toast and cottage cheese for breakfast tomorrow with cup of soup for lunch. And I will ensure that I make a proper coffee tomorrow.

On the bright side, mum and I are starting a new business venture...ironically cupcakes and lollies. HAH! hopefully in 6 months once I have my counselling qualifications we will be able to start up a store. Then I might be able to incorporate my counselling room in the same building. I am hoping to have a showroom as such in the front. Displaying the cakes, and lolly buffets, and then incorporate some other stuff. This will be a good base to take orders, do prep work and also have someone there to meet and greet clients as they come in the door. It also makes me a lil more comfortable having clients and knowing that there is someone around if needed.

I am also looking at specialising my clinic towards sexual health and relationships. It's something that I have always wanted to work with, and think that I am open and have a healthy outlook on this sort of stuff to help people. It's all starting to get a lil fun and exciting.

Close to 10kg gone

So from Monday I am down 8.8kg, officially from weigh in on Wednesday, I am down 6.6kg :). doing well. The bummer is that D lost his job this week so we are pretty pov, and can no longer afford the special healthy food. Isn't it rediculous that its cheaper to buy crap food than healthy stuff. D is trying to eat food that doesn't affect his belly, and that too will be a bit harder now. We are juicing for at least one meal a day. Its all slowly working. I am trying to make sure I am exercising at least 4 times a week and still getting up at 5.30 to do it....yuk! Dave and went for a walk tonite and for the first time in years I was able to keep up and it didnt kill my feet and I got back and recovered quickly :) Now to keep it up and go further, further and further....I call it SUCCESS!!

So excited!

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 :)
