ADAY 123

Breakfast: 40g muesli
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, 95 cal crisps and a yoghurt
Dinner: small bowl of spag
Snacks: 97 cal crisps

Exercise: 100 crunches, 50 bridges & 30 min aerobics (upper body)

Another great food day. I haven't had any of the lots of left over sweets from yesterday, Mark & Jack have just had some scrummy looking rice pudding and i didn't have any! :hurray:

Perfect day 2 = Done!! :hurray:

I have felt skinnier today, for the first time in quite a while. Which is great, other than noticing that i have a bony bum!!! It now hurts when i sit on a hard surface!!!! Never had that before.

I was well impressed with how i did with my aerobic dvd. When i have done it before i have never quite managed to do all the floor exercises but today i did.....I even did the 32 crunches with legs in the air without stopping :hurray: :hurray: I was rather impressed with that. My fitness level is definatly better.

Ooh, last night i had a really bad case of 'restless legs' I haven't had it for ages and it kept me awake for ages. Do you reckon it was cos of all the running i have done in the last few days?

Cate As a teenager, the thought of running or doing any kind of exercise would horrify me. More because, being chubby, i was soooo selfconcious and making an idiot of myself infront of others scared me too much to join in. And as for you being too old....What a load of rubbish, Jane, my running partner is well into her 50's!!!! If you took it steady you would be fine. I have an app on my phone that started me off really slowly. it is called 'get running' and it starts you off doing 1 min run with 1.5 min walk etc. If you want to have a go at jogging then go for it, your body will tell you what it isn't coping with. Don't NOT do it because you think you are too old. And thank you so much for your lovely words too.

Another great food day!!! The further this week goes, the more determined i am to lose that bloody 2lb!!!!! I keep forgetting to mention that this week i have made a huge effort to drink lots of water and OMG i might as well just stay in the toilet!!! I am trying to drink at least 2 litres a day but i seem to be peeing 3 litres!!!!!! Will this stop?!?!

Perfect day 3 = Done!! :hurray:

My running was great this evening. I was gonna aim to do 40 min run but didn't manage it. I will though!! I set the 'random' setting on the treadmill onto level 4 so the incline got upto 3.6 Whoo it was a bit of a killer, my legs feel rather numb right now lol. I did 5 min walk, 20 min run, 5 min walk, 10 min run, 10 min walk....All on random. I was quite pleased with myself. I will build it up to 40 minutes. I know i can do it because i did it when running outside with Jane but at the gym it seems harder and the hilly bits are steeper. I will get there.

I've gotta trawl the internet for some new sports bra's as mine are just too bloody big now and don't support anymore :( Mark even complained that they are getting too small this morning tee hee!!! Hey ho!!
 
3 perfect days, WOOHOO!! Halfway there for the week chicky, you got this in the bag! :hurray:


Funny, I find when I count days out like that I only focus on the week and nothing else... and then I stop and think, the last time I was really bad was almost 3 weeks ago! It's how I get through... day at a time.
 
ASorry I haven't been around for ages, I feel awful :(

You have properly inspired me with the perfect day thingy. So I am going to do it with you :) xxxxx

Another good food day!!!! They had chocolate mini rolls at work today! I didn't have any :hurray: I didn't go to the gym this evening cos my bum and the back of my legs were aching after yesterdays incline running. I kept trying to convince myself not to go but really wanted to, in the end i had to get Mark to not let me. I just knew that they needed a rest. I know that i am suppose to rest after running but i sooo wanna run every day. I am gonna go tomorrow though :)

Perfect day 4 = done!! :hurray:

Lucy It's weird, i thought i was focused before but this week and my aim to lose that 2lb has given me such an insentive. I think i need to do something like this every week or so, something different maybe but just do a weekly goal type thing. Maybe next week, no pasta or bread!!! That would be a good one cos i would have to change my lunch totally!

Princess Thank you sweetie :grouphug:

Ruthie Don't be silly sweetie. You have been away and have your own struggles. Get on board girly, you can start your perfect week as of tomorrow morning!!!
 
Perfect day 4 well done for perfect!By that do you mean staying with in your calories and working out?Or withing your calories and not having some type of food anyway?I checked out the christmas chalenge but i dodnt read anything about perfect.Please share,i like the sound of that PERFECT!
 
ok just found your post.

Not having A?NTYTHING sweet?even if you can have it?aaa!!you are doing great shows how deterined you are woman~~~~~~~~
 
Wow, the ability to turn down chocolate is damn near superhuman! ;) Great job! When I make bad decisions, the taste of the food lasts for a second, but when I turn it down, I get to spend an entire day bragging to others feeling good about it! So much more fun ;)


Good luck on day 5, keep it up!

Another great food day. I am so bloody determined to lose this 2lb so haven't been tempted by anything.....Choc mini rolls still at work.....Mark bought a bag of donghnuts.......and i was a good girl and had none!!! :)

Perfect day 5 = Done!! :hurray: :hurray:

I have tried really hard this week but the scales in the bathroom haven't really moved. I am gonna be gutted if i don't lose it.

I put some new music on my phone for my run this evening and i totally loved my run. I did 30 mins straight for the first time since i finished my C25K and it felt so so good. I did it on random incline again and some of it was proper hard but i really enjoyed it. :) My legs are feeling rather odd at the moment.

I have bought some new bras!!! I was bluging out of my 40D bras 4 months ago, i got a few 38C and they fit fine but i have a 36D stunning bra in the sale rail in my Ann Summers kit and i tried it on and it fits lovely and is proper sexy so i'm keeping it!!! My boobs are so so small compared to what they were. I hate to admit that i have bought some 'liquid bra' firming & lifting gel and some strech marks stuff too to try and firm up my belly. Everything is so wobbly!!!

One more day of perfection to go!!

Thanks for your encouragement guys You rock!!! :grouphug:
 
Woohoo, 1 more day to go!!!!!!!!! Really hope you get the results you're after!!! You wouldn't have to lose much to have your ticker drop another BMI number!


Wish my boobs would shrink... I look like I've shrunk heaps this month, but I'm still fitting in most of my Fs... if anything I just need to drop a back size. Arrrghghghgghgh. They are determined to hang around and haunt me as long as they can! LOVE sexy underwear- lucky you getting some on sale!!!
 
You girls and your bra sizes!!!! Mine are almost non-existent- never have been, except for when I was breast-feeding. Just a tiny bit jealous of cleavage. LOL. Kate you are doing very well. 5 days of perfection, hey? WOWSERS!! xoxo Cate, bowing in awe!
 
Uhm, so had to come back and write this Kate... hubby goes to me today, "Have you lost weight?" And I said, well yes I have. And he says "Thought so, your boobs look way bigger and I didn't think they'd grown, so I thought maybe the rest of you had shrunk". Cheers there, love of my life...
 
AIt must suck a bit having big boobies then slowly seeing them getting smaller, but I bet your boobs stick out a lot more than your tummy than they did before. Mine have got a bit smaller (Bras that were tight before have a bit of space) but they just seem bigger cos they no longer stick out as far as my tummy. In the same way that Lucy's husband said about her rack!

When I got down to 10 stone in my last diet my boobs completely disappeared. They were a 34 B! And an A probably would've fitted. So just take heart that your boobies are very unlikely to completely go!

Has your bum started hurting since you've been doing the incline? I love the idea of putting it on a random setting- It keeps your routine shaken up a bit. Especially at this point when you've been running for ages.
 
AHoly COW, girl! You have been going SOOOO WELL! Five days of being awesome - that is so great! I saw you write on Rainbow's diary that she should take pics of what she eats - do you do that? I'd love to see it! Even if just for a day!

And THIRTY MINUTES on random! WOW! You really are my C25K guru. What a bloody success story!
 
ADAY 127

Breakfast: 2 small slices of wholmeal toast with light spread and marmite
Lunch: vegatable soup
Dinner: 4 breaded chicken strips with salad, light salad cream and courgette relish
Snacks: 2 granola bars

Exercise: Rest day, whoops forgot my crunches today!!

Had another great food day!!!! All 6 perfect days =Done!!!! Weigh day tomorrow.....Please, please let me have lost that 2lb!!!!

I went thru all my clothes this afternoon, trying everything on, and i have taken out probably half of them because they are stupidly big!!! It felt sooooo good!!! I was gutted taking out some of the stuff cos i really liked them but on the plus side there was quite a few tops that i had never liked on me cos they looked terrible that look lovely now. Trying them on made me realise how much i have really lost! I now only have skinny jeans (that ain't so skinny) leggins and jeggins so i need to get some actual trousers!!

Saw my mum today and she said 'wow, where have your hips gone' i was so chuffed, i don't think my hips have shrunk as much as the rest of me so i was really made up that they do look smaller.

I got fish and chips for Mark, Jack and his mate that is staying tonight and not only did i not have it but i didn't even pince a chip!!!!! Yay!! :hurray:

Cate I am not complaining about my boobs being smaller. I'm actually really pleased cos i hated them so big, i just wish that they wern't so saggy!! hence the lifting/firming cream! I am quite liking my little boobs, Mark's complains but i don't think he minds really.

Lucy Both Mark and me laughed so much about what your darling hubby said about your boobs!!! :smilielol5:

Ruthie I really don't mind them being smaller, just wish they were firmer!!! They do look in proportion to the rest of me so it's all good. Yes, they do stick out much more than my belly :)
Oh yes, my bum and the backs of my legs definatly know that i have been incline running. It's not too bad but they do ache. That's why i didn't do anything today. Railway line run tomorrow, interval run up and then run all the way back :eek:

Joh Aww thank you sweetie :) I am so intent on losing this 2lb to reach my 40lb target that i have had to be!
I have done some pictures of my food for Jess in the past. It isn't very interesting but i will do it for a week starting tomorrow, just for you :) Please note that there will be no cheese or truffles in there :smilielol5:
 
6 perfect days!!! So proud of you!! I'll be checking in again later to see if you've posted your weigh in... I'm sure it'll be awesome!!!


By the way... you shouldn't be upset about throwing out all your bigger clothes (unless anything in there holds particularly sentimental value) because you can fill it up with NEW clothes to show off that new sexy body of yours!!
 
Kate you did it!HOw proud are you now:hurray:????????????wow girl i loooove the dedication!!!!i really do!!i hope you see what you are wanting to see tommorow i hope you come on here so happy for reaching your goal................................i am exited for you!!!!!Sending your mody lots of positive vibes to have lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
