A new me! (hopefully, with some help)

A:D I got shouted at! By Katehotboobs! Awesome. ;)

You said you did 40 'bridges' - what's that?

Your food is going awesomely, AS USUAL! You, your running legs, your shrinking tummy and your apetite for healthy foods = you are my little guru.
 
AMorning :)

Whoops. I didn't get online last night to post my diary, my mate, who's been in Thailand for a year came round. Had a lovely catch up.
Will try and catch up on here later.

Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, 97cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: Spagetti meatballs
Snacks: Granola bar and an apple

Exercise: 60 crunches, 40 bridges and a 30 min run

Had a cool day at work and then had a lovely evening with Rob, a friend that i haven't seen for a year. It was really nice to catch up. He said 'You've lost loads of weight and you look great' but didn't go on about it. It's was like he knew that i would feel uncomfortable if he did.
Did my second 30 min run and it was fine, i did the whole thing on 9.2 instead of my usual 9.0. Last one of my C25K on friday then i am gonna play around with the incline, speed and distance. I can't believe i have actually nearly finished my C25K. I never thought i would manage it :hurray:

Ruthie Coffee in bed is the best, I always complain about the way Mark makes coffee but that first one in bed is my favourite one.
I don't want a new uniform, it is quite nice not having patients notice too much, i don't think i could cope with it being mentioned all day. Yeah, hopefully we will get use to it.

Joh I don't know about the hot boobs bit but yes you definatly got shouted at!!! My boobs are awful, they were going south before but now they are like half empty water balloons!!! They haven't reduced much but are way saggier :(
'Bridges' are what i names an excercise i do when i do my crunches, i have no idea what they are called so names them that. You lie on the floor, same as crunches but raise your pelvis off the floor as high as you can and then squeeze your knees together as well as squeezing you bum. It is aparantly really good for the lower part of your stomach and bum.

We went round to Shaun & Zoe's house for coffee this evening and Rob went too. It was really nice all getting together. It has been far too long. We had such a laugh :) I'm going for a walk with Rob tomorrow before he goes off to Uni. But hey, he's in the same country!! so it wont be another year before we meet up.

ADAY 76

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: Granola bar and an apple
Dinner: 3 Southen breaded chicken strips and salad with light ceaser dressing
Snacks: Granola bar, apple and........I found a twin pack 'chocolatino ice cream sundae' at tesco's for a quid!!!!!! AND IT'S ONLY 160 CALS!!!!!! I am going to have one in a bit..............Please let it be amazing. It has been sooooooooooooooooooo long since i had ice cream.

Exercise: 100 crunches and 40 bridges...... Managed 100 ok too yay!!! Didn't do my run today, will do it in the morning.

Had my Doctors appointment this morning about my ECG and blood tests. And i'm fine, all my bloods were clear, basically i have an extra little heart beat called an 'ectopic' beat which is then followed by a gap. I have 'bradycardia' which is a slow rate (but she said that really really fit people have tha, so Yay!) I am a variation of normal!!!! If i have the problem i had last week again then i was to go back and they would refer me to cardiology and i would have a 24 hour monitor to pick up exactly what it does.

Didn't go for a walk with Rob. He is knackered, bless him, so we chilled with a cuppa checking out canal boat holidays!!! He then went off to Winchester to start Uni! I'm gonna miss him :(

Well, i am gonna go and have my ice cream and check out everyones diaries.
 
Enjoy your ice cream!!!!!!!

Good 4 u doing the 100's today.What did it feel like?was it burning or not?Cause i started today to do my 100 and it was difficult,it burnt so bad...

So please tell me cause its only my 2nd day.Does it get better or is it always so painfull???????????
 
ASo glad that the hospital got to the bottom of it and its very unlikely to be related to anything serious! I am so happy! I was really worried about you x

I have a million and one complaints about nicks coffee as well. It too strong and he doesn't stir it so its only sweet at the bottom. But I totally agree that its still the best cup of the day!

Oooh, I do (Did, but do sounds more optimistic) bridges as well. I don't know the proper name for them either. After sit ups I put my feet up on the sofa and lift my pelvis up and squeeeeeeze that fat out my bum!
 
AHey Jess

I was just writing on your diary :)
They do get easier. I didn't do 100 to start with though . I started at 30 i think, then 40 after a few days, 50 and then stayed at 60 until this morning. I have found it easier doing different types cos it uses slightly different muscles. this morning i did 25 normal crunches, then 15 crunches with my legs up in the air, ankles crossed (they are so bloody hard), then 10 with one foot on the other knee, up, elbow to knee, back, down. then do 10 with the other knee. then another 25 normal, 15 legs in the air. And i do half my bridge things before crunches and half after.
It does get easier and the difference it makes is definatly noticable. Well, for me anyway. I have never regularly done stomach exercises before and OMG i can tell the difference, big time!!!! It is so worth it hun, keep at it.

Oh and the ice cream............OMG perfect!!! It is in it's own little tub. I don't have ice cream cos it i start a tub i will eat it all. The is no having 'some' it has got to be eaten until it's gone or i feel sick. I haven't trusted myself with it. But these little tubs are just brill. 160 cals too. Yummy bloody yummy!!!!
 
AAww Ruthie, you are so sweet. Thank you :):):)

Ooooh i haven't thought about putting my feet up when doing bridges. Wow that will sort the bum huh. I'm gonna do that on the edge of the bed in the morning. You were right by the way, about feeling smug when you do them in the morning :) The difference on my tummy is huge. And i have you to thank personally for me doing them :)
 
A:) Awww thanks. I had better start doing them again now lol :eek: Its just the getting into a routine of doing it without thinking which is the hardest bit. I WILL start again, iwilliwilliwill.
 
AYou girls are such an inspiration! I'm going to go and squeeze the fat out of my butt right now!

Glad the hospital sorted out your 'variation on normal', Kate. Phew!

Great idea to get the ice cream in single serve tubs! Love that... and glad it was as yum as yum can be!

Breakfast: 2 slices of wholemeal toast with light spread and marmite
Lunch: Granola bar ( i know, that is a rubbish lunch but i wasn't organised today!)
Dinner: 2 breaded chicken strips and salad with light ceaser dressing and some of our courgette relish
Snacks: half a granola bar. i am gonna have some ice cream later yum yum. I might have something else too cos i have 460 cals left. Whoops

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridges, 10 min walk and a 20 min run

I put a pair of jeggins on this morning that i haven't worn at all for about 2 years thinking they would be too tight and my belly would hang out over the top, which would piss me off. Anyway, they went on really easy and they are loose around my knees!!! Yay!! They make my legs look ultra slim too. :hurray: :hurray: I can't get over how different my body is. It's like it isn't mine and i'll have to give it back soon!!!!

Went up town earlier than usual this morning so i had plenty of time to go to the gym but had a call from Sophie, who does my nails saying i should be there...Whoops, i thought it was next week. I was in the high street so i ran to the other end where her shop is. I started to run thinking 'oh bugger' then thought 'oh yeah, i can run' and got there in under a minute lol. Sophie was gushing about my weight loss, bless her. Anyway, cos i had my nail appointment i wasn't gonna get long at the gym grrrrrrrrrr!! I dashed home, got changed and went but i only had half an hour :( I am gonna try and go again tomorrow but Mark doesn't like me over doing it, bless him, especially since all this shit with my heart.

Had a shower when i got back and took Jack into Barnstaple to get him some new football boot.....I wish the little shit would stop growing, he is 12 and has size 9 feet!!!! I also bought myself some new clothes. Got some really nice seam free leggins, a long jumper and a shirt. I tried on a pair of size 14 jeans too. I hadn't tried 14 bottoms on before, other than joggers, cos i knew i would be proper gutted when they didn't fit. My belly and hips are my worse. I plucked up the courage to do it today and these jeans fit, snug but fitted, didn't really like them too much so didn't get them. It was nice to get them on thought. Then went to Primark to get Mark some work jeans and i picked up two pairs of size 14 jeggins for me and went to try them on. They were both the same, just different colours. The grey ones wouldn't go over my arse but the dark blue ones fitted ok. They are tighter than the ones i was wearing but, hey, they are a 16! Primark's sizes are so random it's crazy.

I came very close to having a take away for dinner tonight!!!!!!!! Mark was like 'chicken salad again, goodoh' And i actually replied with 'shall i get a takeaway then?' I can't believe i said that lol whoops. Luckly he replied with 'whatever' so chiken salad it was!! I regretted saying it as soon as it came out of my mouth . Fhew, got away with that one :hurray:

Weigh in day tomorrow!!!! Oh, oh, I forgot to say.... The other day i was trying to remeber how much i had lost. I thought i had lost 2 stone but then i thought 'Hang on, i have lost 25lb, that's not 2 stone yet!' I was thinking 24lb was 2 stone!!!! DUUUHHHH God, i am so so thick :)

Joh I love that you've put goal weight as 'out the window' as you're 6 weeks pregnant! Squeally excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!
 
AMorning all

I have lost 4lb!!!!!!

So now i HAVE reached 2 stone for real!!!!!!

And i am over Half way......Again!!!!

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: only 1lb to go 'til i reach my oct 1st target of 30lb Whoop Whoop!!!

Dinner: Small bowl of chilli and rice
Snacks: Apple! I really haven't felt hungry today......I will have my ice cream in a bit and prob some chocolate too. i have 420 cals left

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridges and my last 30 min run!!

I was well impressed with my weight loss this morning, and what's more, i am really close to being out of the 'obese' section on the Wii fit and on my way to just being 'overweight' :hurray: :hurray:
Went to the gym this morning and did my last C25K !!!! I can't believe i actually did it all right to the end! I really can't put into words how shocked i am that i have done it. Really proud of myself. Now i just need to keep it up and play about with it.
My mum came round earlier and the last time i saw her she said about not losing too much weight. Anyway, today she was really impressed with how different i looked and when i said that i had reached half way she didn't say anything like 'you are fine as you are' I think she now gets that i don't wanna be fat at all. She said 'You get to what you want too' Bless her.
Had a lovely lazy afternoon, playing on the PS3 with Mark. Gonna have my ice cream and watch the X-factor!!!!

Jasper Oh, Jess, thank you so much, you are so sweet. Don't forget you are the person who kick started this new me.......I really can't thank you enough :)

Thank you all for your support and help. You really have changed my life!! My mum asked how i had managed to stay so focused and i told her that it was you guys. Love you all!! :grouphug:
 
AWOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!! :hurray:
You are doing SOOO WELLL!!!!

Twenty minute run yesterday, thirty minute run today, and so many crunches! You are awesome!

It's great that your mum is supporting you. It must be tough for her to not feel like her comments supporting your weight loss are like her saying 'you need to lose weight'. She just wants you to know that she loves you and thinks youre gorgeous no matter what. She sounds sweet. :)

xxx (time to change my ticker!)
 
AYou made me laugh so much when you though "bugger" because you had to run to the other end of the high street, then realised that you actually can run properly now :)

Wooohoooo, half way! Again haha. And your a 14!!!!!

I am really glad that your Mum is supporting you now :)
 
ADAY 79

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: Tuna/mayo salad with coleslaw (went out for lunch with Bec's yum, yum and still healthy)
Dinner: Small bowl of chilli and rice
Snacks: 1 dutch crispbake, apple. Got cals left so gonna have some choc in a bit.

Exercise: 75 crunches (i woke up with a really stiff neck which really hurt while doing them) 50 bridges. Was gonna do a dvd this evening but was too knackered.

I've had a 'Kate's gone mental and had another crisis' day today!!!!! I bought a few new clothes on saturday and i wore the size 14 shirt and size 14 jeggins this morning. I looked in the full length in the bathroom. I don't often look at myself full length and it really freaked me out today!!!!! I don't look like ME anymore! Where the fuck have i gone?!?!
My face is now oval, no longer round. My neck is long and skinny (well, not proper skinny but you know what i mean). I have defined shoulders that are so much narrower and my colar bones and throat omg!!!. In fitted clothes my stomach looks quite flat and my legs are sooooooooo sooooooooo different, they definatly freak me out the most!!!!!
I have to be honest. I didn't like it, it scared me. Why did i feel that? Why am i scared of what i look like now. I just kept thinking 'that's not me'. What made it worse, Bec's was blown away when she saw me 'OMG, you look so different' I was like 'don't it's freaking me out'
What the hell is wrong with me......I should be happy, i was happy yesterday lol
Hopefully i'll be happy again tomorrow. I have NEVER had this happen before!

Had a lovely lunch with Bec's and her 9 month old baby son Austin today. He is just the cutest litlle spudly ever, and so funny. When Bec's was saying that i am not a freak for my crisis today he sat there looking all stern shaking his head.....Awesome, he is such a dude. I could just steal him. We had a really good gossip, loved it. It actually really helped talking to her about my morning freak out.

Joh You are so sweet. i do feel a bit lost with out someone telling my to run lol
Mum is a sweetie, Have you ever seen the English comedy 'keeping up apperances' Well, my mum is just like Hyacinth Bucket!!!!!! And my dad is Richard. We have always been a 'big' family and i am definatly now the smallest tee hee!!

Ruthie I did giggle to myself when i realised 'oh yeah, i can run now' I keep forgetting!!! I supose it's a bit like that with what i look like. It always suprises me STILL every day when i look in the mirror to do my face. I totally get what you mean about baggy slobby clothes being your 'comfort zone' It's so weird that our brain struggles with the change in our body.
 
Katie!trying to think why you felt like that.So im just making speculations.Maybe you have been used to looking the way you did for such a long time it just needs to grow on you.I think i would feel like that if i had cosmetic surgery on my body or face.Even if i knew i looked BETTER i still would freak out a little thinking its NOT me.Which in the case of cosmetic surgery probably is right,it wouldnt be me!!!but for the "new" you from dieting and exercise it is YOU not the "new" you exactly.The REAL you that was hidding away under the baggy clothes!!!!!!!!!!so you just have to deal with looking gorgeous ,miss Katie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Can you please tell me do you make the curry or is it ready?if you make it would you give me the recepie?i always hear about curry on here and in movies but i never have had it.And alos its not a dish they eat in greece so im copletly new to it!is it curry as the yellow curry powder we put to season food?or is it called curry but has nothing to do with the yellow curry powder??Probably sound real thick dont i??
