Exercise: 60 crunches, 5 mins on the cross trainer, 5 mins on the bike, 10 min walk and a 28 min run!!

Still a fat blob on the scales. I really need to stop weighing every day! I am 2lb up since my period started on monday and it wont bugger off!!! It better had gone by my offical weigh in day on sunday or those scales are going out the window!!!! :cuss:

Davoud (the dentist i worked with yesterday) told Julie (the practice manager) that i picked everything up instantly and just got on with it! I was really chuffed that he thought that. It is really difficult working in someone else's surgery and with a different dentist! I am glad he was that impressed with me cos i had such a cool day!

Went to the gym with Ash (my gym buddy) this evening for the first time in weeks!!! I was doing 5 min runs the last time i went with her. She was gushing about how great i was looking!!! She was so so impressed with my 28 min run. She was like 'you have done better than me'. It was fine doing 28 mins today. I think i was just getting bored yesterday. one more 28 and then i am on to 30 mins but to be honest i think i could do it now....It's only 2 mins but i am so OCD that i have to follow the plan!! I kept saying to myself 'oh, sod it, just do it' but then i would be like 'no!!! you have to do as you are told' lol

Joh I can't wait til i am no longer in the obese box!! That is definatly my next aim! And oh, for the day of it not making that horrid noise....I never thought i would ever get any other noise. I am gonna get me one of them happy noises one day!!
I read All sorts. i am one of those people that goes into a book shop and buy a book cos i like the cover! I have found some total gems like that but have also found some serious shite too lol
I am embarassed to admit that i love Harry Potter and i am one of those sad people who sat up all night reading it! I have the audio books of them too (stephen fry reads it, it's awesome) I Have read them all more than twice. More cringing embarassement........Twilight! OMG i can just pick them up and open them anywhere in the book and just read. I adore her writing and her portrail of an awkward 16 year old girl was stunning. And Edward.....sigh........I have them on audio book too....Love them. Anyway, i read everything from trashy romance to fantasy. I went thru a phase of reading loads of fantasy (my effort is that genre) I have done the whole vampire books too. The 'Anita Blake, vampire hunter' was really good and proper sexy, her writing isn't to imaginative but i liked the story. I love books about life during the war.
I have got cloud atlas, my dad gave it to me, but not read it yet. I am reading a kids trilogy at the moment. Bartimeus.

Ruthie YAY!! it fits. My little black dress is still too tight around my belly to feel right but it is getting there.
I actually laughed out loud hysterically when i read about the baby shark.....That's gross but so so funny!!
The first time i got on the Wii fit it said that my age was 43 (and that was back when i first got on a friends one 3 years ago, i was actually 35!) I think it was 40 when we got ours last christmas. I was proper chuffed that it was 23. Hated what it did to my Wii Mii character when i set up our Wii fit, it even did the noise of inflating!!!!. That was so cruel. You can sooooooooo see my character instantly when they are all lined up lol She looks like a fucking weeble!!!!
 
I love love love GRANOLA BARS. Oh yum-may:)

Well done on going to the gym and exercising. I bet it feels amazing when someone says you look fab and so much thinner!!

Keep up the great work lovely xox
 
ADAY 68

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: ham salad, 95cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: Small bowl of spag
Snacks: granola bar, light aplen bar and an apple gonna have 130 cals of choc in a minute

Exercise: 60 crunches and 30 mins of yoga

Pretty non discript day today really.
Did a load of yoga stuff on the Wii fit. Oh, it told me i had gained 1lb and my Wii fit age was 27!!!! OK be like that then!!!! Really enjoyed the yoga and Mark had a good laugh watching me!!
I then made him get on and he is of course the ideal weight AND the skinny shitbag has actually lost 3lb since the last time he went on it (christmas) but i laughed so so hard when it said his Wii fit age was 54!!!!!
My Jack got on and it said he was over weight and it made his Wii Mii character look like a weeble! That really pissed me off cos he isn't fat at all!!! he is all muscle and bone. I think it could be quite damaging for kids if they had a weight issue. Jack looked really bothered until he did the fitness test and that said his fitness was perfect!!!!

Hey Princess Oh yes, Granola bars rock!!!!!


Joh Congrats cupcake!!!!!!!
 
Alooking so lovely katie youre fantastic!

You look lovely in the pic with that smile of yours you made me laugh!!!!Yes that is what was missing!!SMILES!!!and you deserve lots of smiles cause you are the great!And i still cant belive that you are following your diet and exercise so GREAT!you mean buisness lady!!!!GOOD FOR YOU!!!Even those jeans in the pic look a bit loose!And i too love the blouse!your boobs are realy nice too!!!!

You are NOT going to give up even if you feel comfy in your new body!NO NO NO!!!
You are going to go all the way down your ticker ,,,,right to the end of it!!!I too felt that i was cofortable and cheated a lot.But in some time your body gets used to your new weight and so does your MIND so the feeling of stoping your diet will go away soon!
plus we are here to start nagging!!!
 
AOooh wow... So you've dropped by 20 years! I hope your really proud of yourself. Because YOU did it, all by yourself. You made yourself so superfit. It's a really big achievement.

And Kate, wherethehellhasyourtickergone????? Noooooo. You were the only one who has managed to get it up, and now its gone. I'm still messing about with mine, trying various different things and they are all failing. Must have spent at least 3 hours trying to figure it out :(

Don't take any notice of the scales other than on weigh day woman!
 
ADAY 69 (whoooo 69 dude!!! If you have seen Bill&Ted , that will make you giggle, it always does me!)

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: ham salad with light salad cream, 95 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: 3 breaded chicken strips and salad
Snacks: Light alpen bar, granola bar, apple and 130 cals of choc

Exercise: 60 crunches. I didn't run today like i planned too, explanation below.

I have this weird thing that my heart does. It started about 10 years ago. It is quite dificult to describe but i'll give it a go. To me it feels like it totally misses a beat and then does a huge massive beat which feels horrible (if you take my pulse when it is doing it, it feels like it is totally missing a beat!! it is totally freaky). When it started i went to the Dr's and they did an ECG but my heart didn't do it's thing while i was having it done. (It is always really random when it does it and doesn't normally do it for more than a minute or so at a time) The Dr's said that they could put me on beta blockers for it but i didn't like the sound of that and seeing as they said that it wouldn't kill me i was happy to just live with it.
I have figured out that it only ever does it when i am 'eating healthily'. If i eat crap all the time it never does it, I figured this out with all my yo-yo diets!! I mentioned this to the Dr when i was going about something else once and he (he was a different one to the one i saw originally) explained to me that because my heart is working so well it feels it doesn't need to do a full beat, which is the one i don't feel, and then as there is more blood for it to deal with the next beat, it feels like it is doing a massive beat. He said it was fine. My blood preasure is at the low end of healthy and my pulse rate is at the low end of healthy too. Apparantly that is good!
Anyway, i went to work as normal this morning and my heart started doing it's weird thing. Recently it has only done it maybe once or twice a week and never for more than 30 secs or so, but this morning it was really strong and proper uncomfortable but what really bothered me was that it didn't stop after a minute or so, it was still doing it after an hour!!!! I took my pulse at one point and my pulse rate was 32!!!!! the average pulse rate is over 60!!!!!!! We had this one patient in for over an hour and it did it the whole time! It really started to freak me out....I kept thinking about 'sudden death syndrome' You know, the reason they give when fit people suddenly drop dead!
When the patient left i went straight to the Dr's cos it was proper freaking me out! They were great and i went straight in to see a Dr. Because i walked there my heart rate went up and started being normal again but she was lovely and made me an appointment for that afternoon for another ECG and i have to go back for blood tests. It did do it while she was taking my pulse so she felt it and when she took my pulse the rate was 46, which was still low. She said that she thinks it's doing it because i am super healthy and super fit with all the exercise i am doing, it's good that i am so healthy and fit but i bloody hate it, it's horrid!!! It did it on and off the rest of the day but it was just like it normally is and seeing as i knew now that i wasn't gonna die i wasn't freaked out! I went for my ECG this afternoon. It, again, didn't do it!!!!! but my pusle rate was still really low 48! I have an appointment for my blood test on tues and seeing Dr again on fri.

Other than that, pretty average day.

Jasper Aww sweetie, your compliments always make me feel awesome :) I really struggle with praise but you guys always seem to say the perfect thing to make me feel sooooo good about myself. And yes, those jeans are pretty baggy now lol, who would have thought that huh.!!

Ruthie I know Wii fit age of 27 is great but last week it was 24 so i was sulking about how bloody horrid it was being to me! I keep forgetting how fit and healthy i am now cos it is my life, it's like it has become habbit, which is awesome. It was very complimentary about some of the yoga i did so i don't hate it completely. :)
My ticker wouldn't work that day. It's ok now :) I do feel bad that i am the only one who can do it. :(
 
AI nevet felt somethong like you described., i hope it doesnt happen again iy must feel weird ,but as the dr said oid probably normal.
You are great for going to the dr fastto be checked out , We should all act that way!
Hope you have a good night~:grouphug:
 
Hey Kate, yeah my heart does something similar but mine just skips a beat and continues in the same pattern as it was before it skipped.



Anyway hun you are doing marvellous!! Keep up the great work dolly xoxo
 
AMy heart goes all over the place too, its really scary. And d'you know what... It was worse when I was slim before and eating really healthily. Sometimes when it happens I feel like I am gonna pass out. I go through phases of loads for a few weeks/months then nothing for ages. The last time it happenned I was so dizzy I couldn't get out of bed for days, and my heart was crashing around in my chest and I was so tired. I went to A&E, and the doc said that it was fine as it wasn't affecting my pulse. I still wish they had done an ECG as its so scary. Everyone on my mothers side have died of heart related problems for generations, and I have got a heart murmur. Sorry, I have completely turned this around to be about me :eek:

Your doing the right thing going to the doctors. Its a shame your heart didn't flutter when you were having the ECG tho. Have they booked another one?

As for your pulse rate... Its just low because your fit! Its a good thing. Don't worry about that!!! xxxxx
 
ADAY 70

Breakfast: 2 slices of granary toast with light spread and marmite
Lunch: Chicken noodle soup
Dinner: Fisherman's pie with peas, brocolli and cauliflower
Snacks: Light alpen bar and 120 cals of chocolate

Exercise: 60 crunches, 20 bridges (i don't know what they are called so i have named them that, you lift your pelvis and squeeze your knees together, great for your lower abs and bum apparantly) 28 mins run, 10 min walk and 20 mins yoga

WooHoo!!!! I have reached day 70!!!!!!! :hurray: :hurray: Had a really good day. Started with Mark saying that he is loving my new stomach as we were cuddling in bed this morning. When i said 'What are you gonna think when i put it all back on again?' he said ' I won't mind but you wont put it all back on, you will get to what you want to and just stay there. You seem really focused this time' i was so chuffed that he believes i can do it this time. I am feeling great about it this time, my mind set is so different, i feel like this is for the rest of my life rather than 'until i have lost some weight' I don't think i have ever been this focused for this long before. Cool huh?!
When we were walking up town this morning we walked past someone i went to school with, we have always said 'hi' when we see each other but don't often chat. Well, as she walked past us she did a proper double take before she said 'hello' to me. Mark then said 'Did you notice that she did a huge double take? She didn't regonise you at all to start with, that's how different you look' He is so lovely, making sure that i know how far i have come and that i do not look like the same person.
Went to the gym when we got back from town and i did a 28 min run and totally loved it!!!!!!! I even put the speed up from 9.0 to 9.8!!! Only managed about 10 mins at that speed but i was proud that i felt i wanted to go faster. My hear has been fine today, only a few like normal this morning. Did the yoga on the Wii when i got home and really enjoyed that too. I beat pretty much all the scores i had on there. (Ooooh, do you remeber me complaining that the Wii said that Jack was over weight? Well, i realised that we hadn't altered his height and when we looked it said he was 4'3. He is 5'4 now lol, whoops. It made him the top end of normal then so all's good and i am not angry with it any more)
Did a party tonight and there was loads of lovely food including......Dips :( cupcakes :( Sigh..........BUT i was a good girl and had nothing!!!! :hurray: :hurray:

Thank you guys for your concern about my heart. It's weird that i get it because i am super fit and healthy!!!!! It makes me feel a bit of a complaining wimp lol :eek: I don't have a heart murmur like you Ruthie that must make yours fell really horrid. It is such a horrible feeling, being able to feel you heart doing weird shit. Can you feel your murmur? They were talking about possibly putting a 24 hour monitor on me.
 
AMorning

I have adjusted my ticker to what my Wii fit scales say (they are half way between the other two sets of scales andi have been told that they are more accurate so i am going to use them as my offical weight) they measure my BMI too which the others dont.
Anyway i have lost 1lb
I am not half way anymore. so have that too look forward to AGAIN lol

Had quite a nice relaxing sunday today. Went to the allotment to pick more stuff then made some corgette and sweetcorn relish. Had a lovely slob in the bath and made a roast.
Can you remember when i had my crisis about putting my first photo's on here cos i was discusted with how blobby i still was compared to those skinny birds, Joh and Ruthie. :) I said that i had taken a photo of me in those jeans that i had never worn cos they never fitted and even though i got them on i thought the photo was discusting and was going to delete it............Well, i tried them on again this morning and got Mark to take another picture. Also, when i had that photo of my with that black top on i got Mark to take one of me holding up the top seeing as i was wearing the same jeans as the other two i had........Here are the photo's for ya :)

Plus, cough cough: "those skinny birds, Joh and Ruthie" Ahem cough cough. You make me blush ;) I wish I had the guts to take aphoto of my in just my undies so you could really see the state of my legs ;)

Sending you lots of awesomeness vibes and lots of cuddles!
 
ADAY 72

Breakfast: 2 Wheatabix
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, 97 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: Chicken, salad and half a jacket potato with light salad cream and a bit of our courgette relish
Snacks: granola bar, apple and i MIGHT have some chocolate in a bit cos i have cals left (not sure i can trust myself see below!!!!)

Exercise: 60 crunches, 20 bridges and A 30 MIN RUN!!!!!!


I ran for 30 minutes :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:


I can't believe i have actually made it to running 30 mins! I can so clearly remember worrying about running 3 minutes............I keep thinking 'how am i able to run for 30 minutes? it's just not possible........' I am really embarassed when i tell someone that i am running. It just seems so wrong for me to be able to do it. I am the laziest person on the planet, well was!!!! To be honest, I'm really quite gobsmacked with myself lol.

I ate 3 lines of chocolate last night when i didn't have any caloreis left!!!!!!! 363 cals worth!!!!!!!!!!! I was really angry with myself but it was soooooooooo nice. One good thing was.....I didn't finish the whole bar!!!!! I did think about it. I thought 'i need to get rid of it so i will eat it' That is the old me sneaking a word in but i stood up to her and put the rest back in the fridge. :hurray:

Jack saw the pictures i put on here yesterday. His face was awesome, i could see his eyes going from the first to the third one and i could see the 'OMG' in them. He hadn't seen any of my pictures before. He said 'Wow mum!!!! look you have got a pack' (as in not a 6 pack, but a pack lol) pointing at my belly on the third one! Bless him.

I had to go up town during my lunch break so had to get changed and when i got back i didn't get changed back into my uniform straight and one of the girls said 'Wow, look at you skinny in black' (i was wearing my black jeggins and a size 14 black t-shirt) and then a bit later while i was eating my lunch one of the other girls randomly came out with 'God Kate, it is really obvious that you've lost loads of weight when you aren't wearing you uniform' I must admit, i do look like i am wearing a sack lol and it use to be sooooooo tight lol

Silash Thanks for dropping in on my diary :) and thanks for the compliments. Yeah, Mark is really cool. It's weird, in the past he has always been 'yeah, whatever' when i said i was gonna lose weight cos he knew i would fail. He has really seen the difference in me, he keeps telling me how i seem so much happier and he loves that :)

Sunflower Awww thanks hun :) The bra is an Ann Summers one. (i do parties, so got it cheap) I got it over a year ago but it was always too small, if i wore it i had 4 boobs lol.....Now it is on the tightest clasp thing at the back and the straps have been tighted loads. it gives me a great cleavage now though :)
 
30 minutes?that fantastic!!SO so so so so so os sosososososososososososooooooooooooooooo PROUD of YOU!!!!


And you put the chocolate back in the fridge????you are a very strong determined woman katie!!BRAVOOOOO!!!!
 
AOoh, your hips and tummy are getting more and more streamlined with every picture, well done!!!!!!

You really are so inspirational with your running and I would LOVE to be running for half an hour like you one day. Although I'm like how you were atm, with the thought of only three minutes running seeming ridiculous. Yep, you are "one of them" sporty people who goes out for a long run now, believe it! x
 
ADAY 73

Breakfast: Bugger all.....I had to starve for a blood test :(
Lunch: Chicken, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, 97 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: A can of soup (mulacautauny, i know it isn't spelt like that but can't be arsed to go read the can :)) with some wholemeal toast
Snacks: granola bar and 2 dutch crispbakes

Exercise: 60 crunches, 40 bridges and sod all else........i should say rest day but i could have done some yoga or anything but i can't be bothered :eek:

I had to starve this morning cos i had to have a fasting blood test (follow up on my heart doing weird shit). Normally i have a mug of coffee in bed before i have even got up!! Mark goes to work at stupid o'clock and makes me coffee before he goes.......I know, such a love huh! Anyway, i couldn't have it this morning and omg i so missed it.....more than breakfast!!!! I drink a lot of coffee and on tuesdays i usually have 3 before we even start seeing patients lol No coffee = AAAAhhhhhhh lol
At work this morning i didn't bother changing into my uniform as i was going to the doctors at 9.30. Rachel (the hygienist i work with on a tuesday) has been off on holiday for 2 weeks and she was back today. She is one of my best friends and we tell each other EVERYTHNG, she was the one who made me put my photo's on here when i had my 'heffa' crisis lol.
She was blown away with how i looked in my t shirt and black jeggin's. And i mean proper blown away... Gawping at my body in shock and gushing with compliments to the point where i had to say 'ok, enough. please stop' She hasn't seen my out of my sack of a uniform for months and, bless her, was so so proud of what i had achieved.
I really don't cope with compliments and it is getting to the point where i just wish people would stop looking at me now!!! I wish they would just say 'you look nice' and move on. I am still a friggin heffa...stop staring at my body!!! I was trying to explain to Rachel, i feel a bit naked when i am wearing fitted clothes, i feel i wanna cover myself up.
Another best friend is on his way back from being in Thailand for a year and i haven't told him that i have lost weight, he knows that i have been running but i never said anything in my emails about losing weight cos i thought i would fail. Anyway, i am now nervous what he will say when he sees me. Half of me really likes that people have noticed but the other half doesn't want them looking at me. God, i'm a bloody friutcake ain't i!!!!!!

I have felt a bit ill this afternoon, Stomach pain and general crap feeling :( Probably explains the self pity whinging i just wrote above. I feel in a 'can't be bothered mood' now too. Hey ho, i'll be ok tomorrow, i hope :). I have cals left so will have some chocolate and watch a trashy film in a bit. That will make everything ok :)

Joh You, ya little bugger, managed to slip a post in while i was taking forever writing mine last night, i didn't notice it til just now. And i am gonna shout at you......You were probably expecting it too, Yes????? :cuss: I have seen a picture of your skinny body in a bikini and there is fuck all wrong with your legs....OK!!!!!!! :cuss: s'cuse the language tee hee.......Consider yourself shouted at :)
Oh and thanks for your lovely comments :blush5: and cuddles :grouphug:

Jasper I know, i still can't believe that i actually can do it. 30 bloody minutes!!!! I am still proper blown away with it.
And the chocolate....Mad huh, it is so cool that i am winning the arguments with the old me. I have enough cals tonight to have 2 strips and there are 3 strips left......That is gonna be the real test. Can i leave 1 strip in the fridge?!?!?

Ruthie Thank you sweetie. I have never had photo's of my progress before and i just sat here and stared at them for ages when i first put them on. Thinking 'shit' lol I think i definatly have something to look at now when things start going wrong......I so don't wanna go back to that.
 
ANick makes me a coffee in the mornings too :) Can't function without it.

I know how you feel about wanting to stay covered up! Even though I've lost weight I am still mainly wearing the leggings and baggy tops/jumpers that I used too. When I'm wearing something fitted or short that isn't the day clothing equivalent of pyjamas, I feel so exposed. The other day I walked down the street and about 20 men looked at me in the space of a minute. It was just weird and I felt so uncomfortable, so I walked the long way back down quite roads lol. We will get used to it soon though, I hope! You should get yourself a new work uniform.
