Sunday 13 June 2010

b: meuslie & yogurt
at: some nuts & sakata crackers
d: spagheti
exercise: none

wasnt feeling very well today. my cold attacked me with full force, i was going to do my pilates today but i dont mind that i didnt because it is my rest day after all.

update for monday 14 june: back to 63.2kg. i thought 62.2kg was a bit low yesterday but i think it was because i was dehydrated because i was sick. feeling much better today! will do 30min cardio & 30min weights tonight. 7 weeks left till i go away so i guess i have at the most 7-8kg left to loose. hopefully will weigh: 55-56kg.
still have heaps of modivation as well. (except for in the mornings when im tucked into my bed!)

[loveyourself]

feeling good, i really believe now that i can get that body i want and keep it forever.
just got a new workout dvd by the biggest loser. since its winter ive switched to workout dvds because its much easier. and i dont really care if my boyfriend giggles the entire way through!
i know im only really at the start of my challenge but i really believe in myself. i can see my body changing already and id like it to keep changing, toning and tightening!
looking forward to getting home and putting on the dvd!

[alyssa-jane]

[loveyourself]

thanks alyssa, i suppose after all these years ive realised the only way to loose weight and keep it off is to do it the healthy way!

Tuesday 15 June 2010
b: meuslie & yogurt
mt: pear, ryvita
l: chicken stirfry leftovers
at: 6 almonds, pear
d: mexican rice
exercise: 30min cardio, 30min weights, 30min pilates! phew, im glad i got through all that because i had to make up from yesterday. my new biggest loser dvd cardio blast is great! i just skip the weight sections which makes up about 35min of cardio. it really gets me sweating which i love in a cardio dvd!

update for 16 June 2010: weighed in at 62.7kg today! very excited. thats a loss of 500g! hoping to get to 62kg flat by friday. i would like to be 60kg by my birthday in 2 weeks! i dont remember ever being 60kg!

[loveyourself]

oh i measured myself this morning for the first time. seeing as im getting to my lowest weights i might not see the scale drop as fast, but i may notice the difference in my measurements. i only took to measurements because i was in a rush.

waist: 26 inches/66cm
hips: 35inches/88.9cm

how often should should i measure myself?

[court]

your doing really well LY. Hmmm i should take a leaf out of your book! wel i am at least going to try your mexican rice it sounds yummo I am not too sure about measuring I dont do it - all mine is done on my fancy scales that measure BF, water and weight and muscle.. keep at it!

[loveyourself]

thanks court! i have alot of modivation at the moment so its going good. plus my tight pants are now comfortable so thats a plus!
my big backpacking trip is giving me so much modivation, there are going to be so many photos which i want to show everyone, so i dont want to feel fat in them

oh the mexican rice is yummy! i made it again last night but instead of salsa i did the following:
2 chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 tub of tomato paste (the little ones that come in packs of two. the size of a yoplait kids yoghurt tub)
teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of paprika
2 teaspoon of cumin
1 & 1/2 teaspoons of corriander ground
1/4 cup of water to disolve the spices in

gives it the same flavour without having to use salsa, which can be more expensive.

so how are you going??

update for 17 June: 62.1kg today. i should feel good about the loss but im not sure if its coming too quick. i feel i eat enough and im not hungry. maybe i was never ment to weigh this much? hmm

[alyssa-jane]

your doing great! im taking measurements too. i decided im going to take them at the start of every month, so about every 4weeks. that way youve had a fair amount of time for there to actually be a change. (:

[loveyourself]

yeah that sounds like a good amount of time! ill stick to that. so next measurements will be taken on 16 July.
