too cold and rainy!!!

so slack.. this week has been bad.. have not eaten rubbish but have not kept to my strict diet either. Have not been able to go for a run as it has been raining the last couple of days and i cant take marley out in it.. im going to try and leave her with bobby and maybe go to the gym instead today. Mile stone: i can wear my jeans now with no muffin top!!! although im not feeling very motivated at all this week.. have to snap out of it!!

Getting back my mojo?

Hey girls, well I think I'm getting back my exercise mojo... fingers crossed! I didn't have a loss this week, but hopefully with said mojo returning next week will be a good one! If you post your progress weigh-ins, I'll adjust the weights on the side of the blogger... I'll adjust yours now Fe aka super mummy!!!

sherrie, I can't seem to get access to the weight scale thing. i braved it and weighed myself this morning. i nearly feel over. I had to check that the scales were working correctly. My weight is now 56.5kg. don't ask me how I did it.

Any way, I was a good girl today and went to the gym. My friend, Bek, met me at the gym and we tried 'core' together. Holy hell I'm sore. It was tons of fun though. We thought it was just going to be about tummies and back but I'm afraid it wasn't. We used the half fitness ball thing (what's it called sherrie?) and it is structured like body pump. there was the warm up, then you do exercises for your legs, back, chest and tris and abs. If you have it at your gym I highly recommend it. The class goes for about 45 min.

What's been going on with you?

PS. Guess who I ran into today at the gym? - vija! It took me a second to register who it was. She hasn't changed a bit and is still living in Marsfield and working in Liverpool. I've given her my mobile number so hopefully she'll call soon.

hi guys. My computer threw it in last week and I've only been able to get it fixed today. Yipeee!!!

any way, that's great fe - a lot better then me. I'm too scared to weigh myself as I know I haven't lost anything. I might starve myself between now and saturday morning and weigh myself at the gym lol.

I had a crazy schedule last week so only did one session at the gym (with my PT). I just got back from another session today and I'm already feeling sore (haha). I'm hoping to go again tomorrow and again Saturday.... so lets see.

I've got no other news really expect I've been bad and I drank a bottle of wine last week (a glass every day after work). I loved it but I just kept thinking about the empty calories..... so I've banned myself again.

well i have lost 5kg and i swear you cant tell!!! hope you girls are still on track.. i did eat pizza last night tho(naughty)..

Allergic to exercise!

That's what I seem to be at the moment! Because it so cold, all I wanna do is hibernate... which is silly really, cause exercise will make me warm!!! Just need to send the message to my brain, then maybe I will get moving! But one thing I am doing right at the moment at least is food- staying away from chocolate and wine so far!! At least tomorrow I will exercise- I have to for my netball game. Hope you girls are doing better than me at the moment!!

Plodding along

Hey girlies,

Well, I am doing ok at the moment- not superb, but not bad either. I did once again turn down cake at work, so that was my big achievement for today! I do have a cracker headache though, so no exercise for me...

I had a loss of 0.9kg for the week, which takes me down to 74.2kg. The plan is to get stuck in to some good food and exercise on the weekend, and really nail that loss.

Fe darls- you have achieved so much already! Don't get disheartened if things slow a little now, as that's normal. You have to keep chipping away at it, a bit at a time, you WILL eventually get there! You will be a hot skinny yummy mummy- just hang in there! When I start to get down, I get into planning mode- plan exactly what food I will eat and what exercise I hope to get done that week, as I get through it, I tick the list, and the "snow ball of positivity" kicks off again. I know you have the extra challenge of trying to fit in exercise around Princess M's needs, so it is trickier. But we are here to cheer you on from the sidelines :)

I am going to pop up some tickers on the side of the blog showing our progress, so keep posting what you are weighing, so you can see how far you going xxx

feels like im destined to be stuck with this gross baby fat.. not having a good day

hey chicki's
oh carla the weight you gain at the start is your original weight plus new muscle.. happens to most of us i think.. has not happened to me this time as i am not doing any weight training at the moment just running flat out.. but im sure once i start i will gain a little on the scales (but thats ok as muscle is hot.. fat is not)!! well i did make a little piggy of myself at caitlyns 1st birthday so i made up for it by doing a 5km run with jay this morning and my gosh it killed!! anyways hope everyone is still on track!! be good gals

My fantasy goal is to be 50kg by your wedding, sherrie but I would be happy to be under 55kg - anything really, just as long as i've slimmed down and toned up. my past history shows that I put on a little bit of weight when I first get back into exercise and then i loose it. I'm assuming the weight gain is the aftermath of eating more when I first start back and/or the gain of muscle (well, i tell that to myself any way, haha).

well done fe! you'll be there before you know it.

bloody woo hoo

On onday i was 82.6kg and today (thurs) im 78.6.. thats fucking 4 kgs in 4 days!!! very excited... well i was 71kg be4 i fell preg with miss m... but my goal is 68-69kg.. that would put me in a size 10.. so i have another 10kg to go.. will get there i can assure you gals!!

I did it :) and what are your goals?

I did not have one chip or square of chocolate during State of Origin! That's a world record for me... So I would like to thank you guys! If you weren't so keen to jump on board with this challenge, I wouldn't have such steely determination.

Anyway girls- I just wanted to check- what are your goal weights? So we can keep track of how we going? Mine is 70kg- anything else is a bonus! So I have 5.1kg to lose before the wedding... it doesn't sound like much, but I have been trying to lose weight for the last year and half, and haven't got any further than 73-75kg... so if I can bust into the low 70s I will be cheering!!!

Give me strength....

Yay! Glad you've joined us Carla!! That is great going with your personal trainer!! And great dinner choice...

You've motivated me... Scoop has his pile of junk food ready for the State of Origin, and I was thinking of succumbing- but that would be letting the team down! Wish me luck all the same!

Fe- hope you managed your run today despite Miss M making you sleep deprived. But listen to what your body says- be kind to yourself. Diet is 70% of the equation when it comes to weight loss, and you've been nailing that- if you need to sleep and not run, so be it. Its only one day, and you'll be back into it the next day.

Keep at it girls- you've been doing fabulously!! Fingers crossed I can finish today off well- its going to take some mammoth willpower!

finally worked out how this work

Hi. sorry. I couldn't work out how to read or make blogs...... any way i'm here now.

I met my PT on Sunday. Love him! I think we will do really well together. I weighed in at 58.5 kg - not happy either (i'm use to being a little lighter). from memory my waist measurement was about 75cm (I think - I'll have to ask mark again) and my hips were 105cm!!!! I couldn't believe it.

I met up with Mark this afternoon and I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow - especially my legs. haha. I'm meeting him on Friday. If I'm not too sore I want to try and go again on the weekend.

As for my diet - I'm shocking at the moment. chocolate, chocolate and chocolate.... don't know why but I'm now trying to curve that addiction. I'm very impressed fe with you diet.

sherrie, I wouldn't get too upset with you weight - you'll lose that easy. and in regards to the dress - don't forget how big it was.... i think you forget.

any way... thinking of fish and salad for dinner. i was thinking of making a pizza but reading this i've decided against it.

Spin classes are the bomb thats for sure, but since marley has turned into a mole i cant leave her to go the gym so im still just running with her in the jogger pram. Same Same sis on the food front i have not caved to any junk at all.. today all bran for breakie, banana for morning tea, soy and linseed sanga for lunch, carrot sticks for arvo tea and steak and steam veg for dinner!! and im so not hungry anymore. Living on stupidly little sleep does not make this exercise thing very easy thats for sure.. anyways im off for a nap and then my run... keep getting skinner gals!!!

Nailing it!

Hey girls-

Well, I can say for the first time in ages I've been perfect food-wise for the start of this challenge! Yay!!! I even said no to chocolate mud cake at work today for a workmate's birthday... that was a massive achievement for me! I went to spin class last night, and went pretty hard- I had more in me than I thought, since I've been off the exercise bandwagon these last couple of weeks.

Fe- its amazing what motivation a wake-up call can be. So many times I've ripped in while visualising my goals. I guess that's why I've not been so great lately- I've really had no goals... my wake-up call at the start of this challenge was seeing the pics Carla took of me when we picked up my dress from the bridal shop. I was 2 kg lighter than what I am now, and I reckon I still looked a bit too big in the dress! So that's what I am visualising at the moment.

Carla- where are you? Did you weigh-in either Sunday or Monday? Hope you are enjoying your new personal trainer!

Well, I am off to get ready to be flogged by my trainer! Have a good one girls!!!

well after weighing myself yestercday i ran harder then the day before... god cant belive how fat i have got!! anyways have been eating super healthy and am gooking grilled lamb and steamed veg for tea tonight!! oh and of course going for another run! hope you girls are working hard and weigh alot less then me!! go team

Fatty Fatty Fat Fat

Not a happy camper.. bought a set of scales today...and im a whopping 82.6 kg... i though i was doing well to do up the zip on my size 12 jeans but not so happy about it now!!
It means i have 15 kg to lose before the wedding... very upset really.

Weigh-in June 1st

Hey girls,

Well I weighed in this morning- my start of month weight is 75.1kg- not good! That's what 2 weeks of comfort eating and no exercise (due to the cold that won't die) will do to you.

Planning a good day today- made up a sweet potato/baby spinach salad for work lunches this week, and hope to get to the gym for the 5.30 spin class. Love spin!!

Hope you all have a great start to the month!
