Oh thats great steph well done! and I know they are so yummy! had the weight watchers jelly last night for the first time its really really yummy and only 9 cal a serving! almost felt guilty eating it!! tracy anderson is amazing! my butt and thighs have never hurt so much! fantastic investment! i've only done her exercises for a few days now but I can already see results! my arms are more defined and my thighs are more toned and shapely! def reccomend! So I almost passed out yesterday after gym the heat was getting to be a bit much so I think i'll take the day off today! still will try and do lunges, situps etc... just will skip the intense cardio session in the heat!

Breakfast:
1cup just right cereal (214 cal)
very small amount of milk on top (7 cal)
skim milk latte (70 cal)
= 291

snack: small skim milk latte x2 (140 cal)

Lunch: pasta with vegetables & pine nuts approx (480 cal)

Snack: yoplait forme (73 cal)
small skim milk latte (70 cal)
=143
dinner: low fat lasagna (300 cal) potato (60 cal) salad (just lettuce (10 cal)
= 370
total = 1424 - quite a bit higher than the past few days but still not terrible.

So I feel really yuck about my lunch choice today, although it was highly nutricious and filling the calorie count was much to high for lunch! so I've done the tracy anderson leg routine again today as well as 30 lunges, 110 situps, I can really see the change in my stomach of just a week doing situps every day! its so much flatter and stronger! still have muffin tops which need to go! My bottom is the part my dress doesnt fit around however when I lose weight I always lose it completly from my top first, my bottom looks more toned but I havnt lost any cm from there yet. I'm really starting to stress but my dress is amazing and I have to fit into it! I do have 7 weeks still but everytime I get it out and cant get it over my butt its that depressing! i can do this in 7 weeks right!

Friday 12th november:
- well done steph thats great keep up the good work! and tracy anderson, I highly reccomend! my butt and thighs have never burned so bad! just get the free clip of goop '( gwyneth paltrows blog) and give it a go for free first! or im sure thered be some clips on youtube.

so I recorded my whole day yesterday, but closed the screen without submitting it, I had a fairly bad day around 1400 calories need to try and keep it down. especially considering I didnt get to the gym! I did however do 120 situps, some pilates and tracy anderson leg workout no cardio though!

Thanks for the tip Danniella, that's a great idea!

I don't know if you've had a look at the exercise tools section on this site (just click exercise, and then on the left hand side select exercise tools). There is a section there that tells you how many calories you burn when you do certain exercises. Running and skipping burns ALOT of energy! So maybe you could get a skipping rope and do 15 to 20 minutes of skipping, its something like the equivalent of an hour of walking!

I got a cheap $4 one from kmart, but you can get better skipping ropes from rebel sport etc. Once I lose a bit more weight I will definetly be doing some skipping but at the moment its such a huge impact on my body because I'm still so overweight that I can't really do it for a long time. I don't think you have that problem though

- Really happy with this my calories are low which should make up for me not being able to get to the gym today, (have my first exam tommorow!) I've been eating quite large meals, however I've just been trying to bulk up the vegetables wherever I can! they are very low calories and fat and if combined with, rice, vita-weats etc... it makes for a very satisfying meal, and I tend to not feel hungry.

You're doing well but...I think you need to eat more protein. If the body doesn't receive enough protein for its needs it starts to break down muscle instead of fat. This is bad because muscle is active metabolic tissue and burns calories even while you sleep. It also means that if you gain back any weight it makes it alot harder for you to lose because your body will have a higher proportion of fat and a lower proportion of muscle. Good luck on your exam, I have my first one tomorrow too (at 1:50pm eeek).

Hey steph, so I dont know if i've filled everyone in but im a vegetarian, i dont eat any form of meat. I do however eat lots of vegetables and include nuts in my diet almost everyday. I do eat dairy and eggs, however am a little funny about eating eggs so only eat them when i really feel like them (if i made myself eat them more i'd end up not eating them at all!) I do eat lentils, chickpeas ect.. but generally only a few days a week as the meals generally need to be based around these.

[ohsoDanniella]

p.s all the best for you exam tommorow steph!
