Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, 97 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: 2 sausages, mashed potato, peas and a little gravy
Snacks: dutch crispbake and 160 cal pot of ice cream

Exercise: 75 crunches, 50 bridges and sod all else!!!!!!! Does whinging count as exercise? lol

OMG i was in soooooooooo much pain this morning!!!!!! My chest and arms were killing! I couldn't even hold the phone to my ear without my arm shaking!!! My legs and bum hurt loads too. I think i over did it yesterday :eek: I couldn't even manage to do all my crunches this morning cos it hurt too much. I couldn't hold my hands behind my head lol. I was going to do Lucy's program after work today. I had promised to as well :blush5: I just couldn't. I will do it (or at least have a go) when i get back form my run tomorrow. I have spent all day complaining to anybody who would listen about how much i hurt.........i'm feeling so so sorry for myself :cry:

I have spent all day wanting chocolate too, which is odd cos i haven't craved it for sooooo long. I did good though and other than my ice cream, i haven't had any. Actually i haven't eaten all my cals today.
One of the dentists brought in a massive tin of chocolate biscuits to work for everyone today!!!!! NOT FAIR......I have to walk past it about 10 times a day! I did think about having 1 but i so know that i wouldn't stop at 1 so i didn't have any at all.

I didn't get to read diaries or get much time on here yesterday cos i was on skype with Rob, my friend who has just started uni, for over an hour!! He was having a 'am i doing the right thing' moment, bless him. He is proper nervous, just like Ruthie. Well, spoke to him on skype again earlier and he is on much better form. i think he enjoyed his first day. He said it's all a bit mad but he will settle. I had spent all day worrying about how he and Ruthie had got on. It felt a bit like when Jack started school :)

Took Millie to the vets after work this evening and she is much better. There has been a massive improvement today and the vet was really pleased. We have to keep her in the cage for the 2 weeks still and they want to see her at the end of that but she is doing really well.......fhew!!!!

Ok, i'm off to bed before i give in and scoff chocolate.
 
Hi Kate!!! Aww you poor thing, muscle ache sucks!! Good on you for not giving in and going on a rampage! Too easy to do when you're not feeling 100%!


Vita-mix is a top of the line blender that does all sorts of amazing things, I've wanted one for ages but never really had the money (or excuse to spend that amount!) I only got one because I did an absolutely mental week at work and wanted to treat myself! Does all sorts of cool stuff, like you can make soup in it and it cooks it and everything while it's blending. And you can make icecream and knead dough, crush ice, use it as a juicer, plus heaps of other stuff. Can't wait to have a play!


Hope you're feeling better tomorrow!
 
AOMG!!!!! My arms hurt more today than they did yesterday!!!!! What's all that about.......I haven't even bothered trying to do my crunches this morning. snivel, snivel, sniff :cry:
 
Sorry to hear you are in pain hun, i cant believe you could not do your crunches and bridges this morning!!


Im starting mine tomorrow, i will let you know how i get on:)


Hugs xxxxxx hope the pain goes away soon! xx

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: Salad with light salad cream, 97 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: Leftover sausage with bolotti beans (homegrown) tomato (homegrown) peppers and a tin of soup with rice slop type thing. It actually tasted quite nice, even Jack liked it
Snacks: Granola bar, apple and 130 cals of choc

Exercise: Nothing, for the first time in ages, i have done nothing as my body, well, upper body doesn't work. :( I am hoping to be ok tomorrow. I really wanna work out, i just know it will kill. Gutted

Had a great day at work, other than the pain lol I love tuesdays, i work with Rachel and we gossip all day :) I loved her reaction when i told her about all the goals i reached on sunday. She is always so delighted for me.
Spoke to my sister in law today and we are going to go stay with them for the weekend next weekend. Can't wait, it will be great to catch up and see the kids too and i know i won't have to worry about what there will be to eat, they know about my eating plan and they are healthy anyway.....I will just have too much wine but i don't mind that :). They live about 8 miles from where Rob is at Uni so we can go see him. I think he is getting a bit lonely. Chatted with him on skype again this evening and i think he is doing ok. Just a bit inpatient to already be settled, bless him.

Tin of choc biscuits still at work today. Still didn't have any!!! I did get 2 for Rach when i made coffee and none for me...YAY!!!

Thank you for your sympathy with my complaining. I feel such a weed and a whingbag. I am gonna go to the gym tomorrow regardless of how i feel. I will just see what i am going to do when i get there.

ADAY 88

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: Ham salad with light salad cream and courgette chutney, 95 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: 60g of cornflakes (i know, that's rubbish)
Snacks: 97 cal crisps, 2 apples, a packet of softmints and half a packet of polo's!

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridges, 1 hour at the gym including my C25K effort

I managed my crunches and bridges this morning :hurray: YAY!! My arms wern't too bad, just felt a bit dead.
OMG it has been soooooo hot at work today. The sun is so low at the moment cos of the time of year and it was shining right into the window in our surgery!! We don't have a blind in there yet! I was covered in sweat and i thought i was gonna pass out, it was that hot! I found a huge board that i put up against the window and that made it so much better.

I have had a bit of an odd food day today. I don't know if its the heat, whether it's cos i'm due on soon or if i'm coming down with something but i have struggled to eat normally!! I desperatly wanted a packet of softmints and i really didn't want any dinner, hence only a bowl of cereal. i still have cals left too but don't want anything. I know i should eat something else cos i burnt 500 cals at the gym, just don't fancy anything....

I did ok at the gym tonight, i had to stop during my C25K but i only stopped for 45 seconds. I am determined to be able to do it soon. The running feels great, i just get to a point where i can't bloody breath, i think i just need to push on thru but god, it's hard. Not sure if i will manage tomorrow as it is gonna be hot again, it's a killer at the gym when it's so hot!! I did lots of steep up hill walking too today.
There was a friend of mine that i went to school at the gym today and i said 'hi' and she was like 'OMG i didn't recognise you, where have you dissapeared to' :hurray: :hurray:

Princess How did the crunches go?????

Jess Aww thanks sweetie for your concern. I'm much better today. I was so pleased to be able to get back to working out. I am sending some positive vibes right now. :p Oh, and the choc biscuits are STILL at work. I even chatted to one of the girls while she was scoffing some!!! Oooh i will get Mark to take some pictures this weekend just for you, it might send positive vibes :)

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch: Ham salad with light salad cream and courgette relish, 97 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: Small bowl of spagetti & meatballs
Snacks: Apple, 95 cal crisps

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridgesand my C25K (kinda)

So so hot at work again today 31 degrees in my surgery!!! The chocolate biscuits at work are all melted blobs which made me laugh :hurray: Nothing worse than melted biscuits!!
I wore a vest and some cropped trousers to work today. I had not worn this vest before cos i felt blobby in it but today it hung off me and my croped trousers are proper hanging off my butt!!! Feels good but i really don't have many clothes that fit properly now and i can't really afford to get more, especially as i want to get down to a 12 (secertly i am now dreaming of actually reaching a 10) so i am just gonna have to look silly in baggy clothes for a while.

I went to the gym after work, determined to actually do my new version of C25K but.......I managed to catch the emergency stop cord and pull it off while i was on my second to last fast run!!!!! :banghead: I was so so pissed off. I started it again quickly but obviously i had stopped. Gutted! I am gonna go again tomorrow and i will do it!!!
 
AHHAHAHAHA That is so awful and awesome at the same time! You make me laugh :D I hope you didn't hurt yourself or anything by catching the cord... You are in such a great emotional place, by saying how much that bummed you out, and that you'll just have to do it tomorrow :) You're awesome.

How incredible you are doing! People around you are complimenting you front back and sideways! You really must look so different! I want a clear before and after :)
 
I have done that before during a run! Only the treadmill I was using was really old and it stopped so suddenly I just about flew over the top!!


Glad you're not all achey anymore :biggrinjester:
 
ADAY 90

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix
Lunch:.................whoops!!
Dinner: Breaded chicken in herb and garlic with salad, light salad cream and courgette relish
Snacks: Packet of softmints, packet of polo's, 97 cal crisps, 2 apples, penguin choc biscuit!! And i still have 250 cals left.....might have to have a 160cal tub of ice cream!!

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridges and I DID MY C25K!!!!!! ALL THE WAY THRU!!!! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

My food was rubbish today!!! I didn't over eat, i forgot to eat :eek: Whoops. I wasn't nursing today and was doing paperwork so kinda forgot lunch. I guess i wasn't hungry cos i had scoffed two packets of sweets this morning. (no idea why i have gone bonkers for mints, i am gonna have to get that under control)

I went to the gym at 2pm (straight from work) My car said the temprature outside was 28 degrees......Why the hell was i going to the gym in that heat?!?!?!?!?! Anyway........
I DID IT!!!!!! Yay me!! :hurray: :hurray: I was a totally melting mess, god it was soooooooo hot but i managed the run ok. I am going to do it 2 more times and then move onto 1 and a half min fast, 2 min slower run.

Joh Glad i made you laugh :) No, i didn't hurt myself, i just caught it with my finger and realised what i had done pretty much straight away so i knew i had to stop (i have done it before) it's a shame you can't disable it.
I have taken note of what you asked for so below are quite a lot of photo's. Some i don't think look too different but others maybe. Hope they are what you are after :)

Lucy The first time i caught the cord i didn't realise what would happen and very nearly did that too. I was embarassed, this time, that i said 'oh, bollocks' really loud which made everyone look!!!

Oh well here are some pictures.......
First one is The little black dress First one is when i bought it and the second one was last weekend.

I never took any before photo's as i never dreamed that i would actually be able to lose any weight let alone get as far as i have. The first ones of these were taken when i had already lost 10lb. (and they are crappy pictures too) i have put the same shorts on for the second photo but the vest just hung off me so i just did it in my bra. The second ones are today.

These are side on....I was quite chuffed with how different this one looked. The front and back don't look any different to me.
http://weight-loss.fitness.com/image/id/298427/width/218/height/700http://weight-loss.fitness.com/image/id/298428/width/243/height/700

And last of all. The first one i have put on before (i think) it is the picture that was taken 2 weeks before i started and the second, and third ones are today (the only reason i put the third one on is because i actually quite like it and i normally hate photo's of me. I am looking after Milli's son, Ben, for the weekend and he jumped up for some fuss) Ooooooooh i so nearly forgot to say.I bought the dress a few years ago and it was always way too tight so had never worn it. I don't do dresses BUT i wore it this afternoon cos the weather was so lovely.....i went to Tesco's in it lol!!!

EDIT.....I have just looked at these as they appear on here and i'm shocked at the position of the tattoos on my back and.....I have psorosis on my legs and elbows and you might be able to notice how it has improved with my healthy diet and exercise and better mental state!!!!!!!



 
AYou are looking AMAZING :D You've lost so much from everywhere!!!! Well done! :hurray:

I can't believe how much your Psoriosiiaiaiaiaias (spelling?) has improved :) Funnily enough I have got three spots around my mouth this morning, I haven't been plagued by them since I was last eating bad foods. It goes to show that what you put inside your body is more important than any expensive nice lotions and potions. Now, where are my deep fried lard balls :)
 
You're quite the stunner now Kate!! You were really pretty before but your face has slimmed out so much all your features are so much finer. The side on pic shows how much your profile has improved too!! You look so fit too- look how defined your waist is now!!!


Aww I'm so incredibly proud of you, bursting right now!!! :grouphug: Big virtual hug!!!!!!


You're my inspiration for the month!!

I came on last night and thought 'oh wow, i haven't been bad tempered, i haven't craved choc only mints which isn't so bad and i haven't been all bloated or had any pain.....Yay!!) Well, that thought dissapeared this morning. :( Quite impressive stomach pain and i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo grumpy!!!! I can't wait for today to be over. Mind you, saying that, it's weigh day tomorrow and i am thinking that isn't gonna good news....Part of me wants to give it a miss.

AMorning :)

Just a quicky to say that i lost 1LB this week :hurray: .......I am really surprised cos i lost 4lb last week, 4lb the week before and i came on yesterday. So i'm pretty impressed with that :) ALSO when i went to change my ticker i noticed that i am now in the 170's :hurray: :hurray: I had woken up this morning proper grumpy again and even thought 'sod it, i can't even be bothered to go to the gym' but losing and being in the 170's (oh and taking some pain killers for the headache) has cheered me up a bit so i am gonna go!!

Awww Jess & Princess...You are too sweet. You had me blushing here! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Like i said before, you guys are the reason i am still here, still going strong. Love you.

I just wanna say another thank you to you all for everything. YOU & this forum have changed my life!!!!! :grouphug:
 
Aso happy you lost another and even though you felt crapy you cheered up and decided to go to the gym!!!!
We love you too and are so inspired by your fantastic tranformation!!!!!
I thank you also for motivating me when i feel bad or when i think "im not doing any exercise today!"

Snacks: Light alpen bar, half a packet of friut pastiles and i'm having a little tub of ice cream now and might have another one while watching X-Factor later!!

Exercise: my C25K

I've had quite a lazy day. Forgot to do my crunches this morning...Whoops! Went to the gym and it definatly cheered me up but have still felt pretty rubbish.
I had taken my car up to mum & dads yesterday cos my exaust was farting so loudly. Dad patched it up but it had to be left overnight to dry. Well, mum had rang while i was at the gym and i rang her back when i got in. She was in town and wondered if i wanted a lift back to theirs so Mark wouldn't have to take me there (they live about 4 miles away) I left straight away, i didn't bother getting changed so i was still wearing my leggins and tight vest that i went to the gym in. When i got in the car mum was gushing about how great i was looking and she said 'i'm not just saying this because you are my daughter, you look absolutely wonderful' Bless her. I had no make up on, hair tied back really tightly and was still a sweaty mess. Then she actually asked me advice on weight loss!!!!

Had a really nice chat with Rachael (Rob's girlfriend) on facebbok this weekend and she started the conversation with 'someone tells me that you are looking super slim' Rob must have told her that i'd lost weight. That's really sweet cos he didn't make much fuss about it when i saw him cos he knew i don't cope with compliments but he then told Rachael. Bless.

Jess Thank you soooo much sweetie. I'm glad i can inspire you, it's the least i can do seeing as YOU are the one that started my journey. Xxx
