Day Thirty Four

Saturday, what a busy day.  But I got a good workout in for 1hr 20min and I burnt 523 calories, amazing.
Hopefully I will do a workout tomorrow even though it is my birthday :)  Too tired to type...................................goodnight

Day Thirty Three

FRIDAY - just love this day of the week, but then don't we all.   I get to sleep in, well at least until ....................................seven am.  Which is great really.   Was quite naughty with food today, nothing really deep fried or anything like that.  I did have the Prawn and Feta Pizza but I had heaps of prawns on mine.  I just love Prawns.......
AND no exercise today I'm afraid, too busy finishing two competition cakes.    Definately have to do a few workouts tomorrow considering it is my BiRtHddAy on Sunday, so I will eat and drink a few bad things.
Goodnight, see you tomorrow with some calories burnt to report...:)

Day Thirty Two

Yeehah,...............started off good, I was out in my GymGarage at 8am and did a workout for an hour, but now the challenge is to get out there again and do another one this arvo.  Go Me !!!






YESSSS, and I did it again - worked out for another 1 hour and burnt 321 calories (approx - my watch is in my room, such a long way to walk so I am just guessing but I am close!)


Food was pretty good, could have been better.  I need to sit down and do a food plan which will also include food that my darlings will eat.   Just something else that needs to be done soon.


Cheers Karen

Day Thirty One

Back again, comes around so quick.....ate ok, but no exercise again.  When Mish said about the three week mark being hard I had no trouble with it, for me it must be four to five.  I am going to push myself tomorrow - hopefully- and do two workouts!!!!
Goodnight, sleep tight :)

Day Thirty

Today was better, but I just seem to be sick of the exercise or something, just going to have to suck it up tomorrow and continue with it all.  
No exercise today, have actually been busy decorating my eldest daughters bday cake for tomorrow......and then I have to do two cakes for a comp at the Tmba Show.   
I must exercise tomorrow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nearly feel like I should write lines to sink it into my head :)
Ate ok today, at least I haven't completely given up.
See you all tomorrow XX

Day Twenty Nine

I am ready to explode, I am sick of exercising, sick of eating right, sick of doing everything, sick of the weather, sick of being sick of things......
Would like to crawl into bed and stay there for 24 hours and not have to cook, clean, study, exercise or work.
I know this crappy feeling will past but .......

Exercised for 1hour and 20min and burnt 360cal.

I am going to bed, meant to be getting up at 5.30am to start exercising - wonder if it will happen.
Goodnight

Day Twenty Eight

Sunday, slept in today and it was fantastic but then I didn't get to bed till one am.  That was not what I was expecting but ah well, so be it!   Finally did a DVD today but only burnt 396 cal in 1hr 17min.  I went better this time with the dvd than I did the last time I did it.  Eating was ok.
Busy week this week, I am actually going to get up early on Tuesday and Wednesday and do my exercise in the early hours when I really should be sleeping.....at least then I won't have to come home at whatever time that will be and do exercise then.
I think I will have to really  push myself to get up though :)
Cheers

Day Twenty Seven

Saturday is here again....and I failed with my SSS.  I did absolutely nothing.  I had  every intention of doing exercise but then by the time I finished doing some things this morning it was 2.30pm and my daughter had some friends here and then I didn't want them to see me jumping around looking like a goose.
Just not a great day today,  quite slack with my eating regime.
Tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start........and I need to do my 1km time trial.

Day Twenty Six ( FRIDAY) - on a roll for late blogs....

Friday - hmmm  --- well........ it was ok.   Did not do much exercise, only burnt about 140 cal today in exercise so have to make up for it on Saturday.   I am still sticking with the calories quite closely but sometimes when you have to replace things coz you can't afford them or there just is no choice, I try to make the closest choice to succeed.   So I am still going ok......
See you Saturday, hopefully :)

Day Twenty Five - THURSDAY :)

Shit......another late blog....bugger....


Really didn't feel like exercise yesterday afternoon after work, but I did it. I tried to do it as fast as I could but still do it properly.  I have decide I do not like AB exercises anymore, they are so friggin hard and I am so weak there I think.   My cardio side is going well and so are my weights but I do need to increase my kg. I just can't afford to at the moment.
Food was ok, I had half serve of the reccomended Mushroom risotto because we had the best grilled marinated steak (bought it from coles on special  33%off :) ), and it was so delicious I had some of that...most likely too much but it was worth it.
See you later this arvo or tonight.  Happy Friday

Day Twenty Four

Well another day done and dusted, biggest weight-loss for me yet - 1.6kg.  Really happy with that.   I am so amazed at myself the way I have just stuck to this.  I mean,.....I still have chips in the pantry along with biscuits and a few other yummy good things, but I just haven't had them and the feeling for some of them just doesn't worry me.   It feels so good to be in control of what I eat, now I just have to keep that control.  


Dinner didn't go that well tonight, I only had basa fish and it didn't taste that great, I didn't mind the crumbing side of it, it was the taste of the fish.......thats where you get what you pay for though.
Matt & Jade didn't enjoy it either, so I think it will be better fish from now on.  Then I ate too much fish...!! ( even though it didn't taste that great....go figure)
Ok, I am going to check out the inside of my eyelids.  Goodnight
:)

Day Twenty Three

Weigh in again tomorrow morning, hoping for a good loss, the least I hope for is 1kg............I just feel like praying now.....
The eating went well and I did the exercise..I noticed I am definitely becoming stronger in the legs and my knee still feels good.  Having a bit of trouble with my feet, but there still ok.  


That bloody Rowing machine just wears me out so quickly, it is unbelievable..I prefer to go on it after I have warmed up.   
Too tired to type anymore,  Cheers

Day Twenty Two - MONDAY

Woops, sleep got in the way of me doing this post last night......
Today went well, eating was ok, exercise got done.  Really finding some of the Ab exercises a bit hard though, and I have noticed more strength in my legs, ..........just wish every one could see what I feel,....... but then the fat would have to be gone, (it will happen but I suppose it will just take time).


You know when your putting some pants on, well I have always struggled with lifting my right leg up and the knee bending but today it did not hurt and that is really amazing coz I have had pain there for so long its ridiculous.    
Not happy about the calories I am burning when exercising, I only burnt 341 calories yesterday after what I thought was working quite hard for an hour. I know its better than nothing but ........
See Ya Later

Day Twenty One

WOW, three weeks gone already....and I am really proud of myself for sticking to this new Life Style.  Maybe I should have exercised more and not eaten so much salad etc but overall I have done really well I believe.
Good day today even though I did not exercise, but I did whipper snip for three hours - because my mower has broken down once again....my arms will pay for it tomorrow I think.
Start of the Fourth week tomorrow, hope my weight loss is good for Wednesday, shall try to be real careful and exercise extra hard.  Losing a kilo a week is quite good, but I am getting real greedy and want to lose more, NOW..lol
Ah well, Hope you all had a great Weekend 
Cheers Karen

Day Twenty

Failed big time today, NO exercise.  I was all geared up for it but it just didn't happen.  Eating went well at least and for my treat meal it was fish and chips baked in the oven.
Few drinks tonight though........

Day Nineteen

Friday at last, but still no drinks.....how effing good am I ??  I know it is amazing considering how I use to be.  Mind you, it would not take long to slide back either.   So badly wanted to eat what my daughter was having for dinner - which was that Yum Cha - but instead I went and had a shower and said to her if there is any left over hide it in the fridge so I can't see it.   So I just had some low fat yoghurt instead....... :)


I only did about 20 minutes of cardio today, I just couldn't get into anything else which I know is bad, I shall try and make up for it tomorrow.


Had the Pizza for dinner tonight, it was nice but I think the previous ones are tastier.  I have just been going thru my old Oxygen magazines and they are so inspiring plus they have some fantastic recipes in them, so shall be trying some of them for sure.

Day Eighteen (THURSDAY) - and another late post

So busy trying to do my montage for Mish that I forgot about posting.  I am even going to put some fat pictures of me up on it, which I absolutely hate but we will certainly see the change at the end of the program......


I am so loving this Polar HRM, I did some exercise yesterday for 1hr:27min and burnt 475 calories.  
My food intake was ok, but definately was a bit harder because I wasn't organised and didn't take lunch with me and then for dinner I had a forequarter lamb chop - I did trim the fat off but it was still a no, no.  Won't be having them any more.  I couldn't have the lamb cutlets, they are way too dear for me to buy.   Bloody food, it is so expensive sometimes to buy the right things and then you throw in kids that are fussy it can be quite challenging.  I really need to get more organised for the coming week with my eating plan......
See you later, Stay Happy :)

Day Seventeen

I am feeling a bit out of sorts today regarding exercise, mind you I did about two hours of raking and whipper snipping since my lawn mower has broken down once again.   I was quite sore afterwards so I decided not to do any exercise......not very good.  I just felt like I needed a rest.  
My eating plan was still good though, maybe a bit extra in portions but not too much.
Quite tired tonight but if I go to bed I won't sleep any way, then when I do get to bed I always wake up and feel as if I need to stretch.  

I was hoping for a better weight loss than 1kg, after all the exercise I have been doing and how strict I have been I thought maybe 2kg....but ah well it is still a loss.    Matt (son) said but you are most likely building muscle as well and I thought well I would be too, ........................................I know I am coz I feel stronger.  Ok thats my complaint for today.... now onto the next one :)


Goodnight

Day Sixteen

Woot, Woot, received my HRM this morning, so not long after, I decided to see how many calories I would burn doing the Jillian Michaels DVD.  Burnt 293 calories and then Zumba this arvo = burnt 279 calories then I had to do my weights of course and that burnt 222cal.   


WOW 794 CALORIES GONE TODAY...............and to think I am most likely still burning them off....really makes me happy.


My food was good again, I am bloody amazing myself, even my son said to me tonight, gee mum how long have you been on this diet now.......I think you will stick to this, you are going real well.


Shall be real disappointed though if it doesn't show on the scales in the morning.....ah well won't be long now and I will know.  Just love this HRM....very motivating I believe.


Def need my beauty sleep .... Goodnight :)

Day Fifteen

Hi there,  Well today was good.  Food was good, except for my skinnychino and a couple of mouthfuls of pasta at dinner tonight.... Exercise done.....  I really need to watch my portion size and start weighing things all the time. Sometimes you just get sick of it, but I really need to keep weighing my portions.
My feet are real sore today especially my right one, but its sore right up on top of it which is real weird.  I didn't think my laces were very tight when I did the Peak to Park 4km walk ..... not sure just hope it goes away.   Bought my FT7 Polar heart rate monitor yesterday, so I am hoping it comes tomorrow before I go and do Zumba - with my daughter (which will be lovely).
See Ya Later :)
