:D :D Well a speedo tan just might provide a nice emphasis one day! :D :D LOL!

At worst, a tan goes nicely with just about anything, especially if the white bit is just the speedo line. Not something that shows up too often. :D

Or maybe you could find an indoor pool? :)


Sorry to hear about the triceps. I hope you have some stretches, massage etc that will help. Some nurofen (or lower priced equivalent), in the first day or two after an injury can help speed the healing too. (sorry if you think this is too obvious to say...)

The longer you don't eat chocolate, the less of a bother it will end up being.

Nice that you finished your 40 laps.

Well finished swimming today strongly. 200 laps done for the week so i'm quite happy with myself.

On the eating side i slipped up a little today. Had lunch with my brother and he cooked a roast with vegetables. It was pretty fatty and i over ate. I calculated it to be within my calorie limit and i've not eaten all day since because of the amount of food i consumed.

Seeing the ex gf tonight before she leaves and with that playing on my mind i think that's why i over eat. I feel like digging into chocolate but i won't. After i see her i'll come home and have a snack of cottage cheese and that'll be it. I'm not sure why i'm even bothering to go and see her (she's moving interstate).

God i want some chocolate.
 
Remember that eventually the impact of of the ch-gunk will make you feel as though it had been melted and aged, white streaked, dry and crumbly - yep it's kinda a disgusting and could have made make you feel the same!!


Good on you for your resolve. This is how you will make it to the splendid result you're after.

Hey,

Congrats on going so well. And hope the catch up with the ex went ok. Break ups are real tough, even though I am married I went through my fair share.

Also, it's great to see a sydney swimmer. When I worked in the city I used to swim sometimes at the Andrew Boy Charlton pool. This was some years ago - I would be way too embarassed to get into a swimsuit now. Although this is one of my summer goals, to get down to my local beach and have a swim. At the minute I am kayaking, so at least I am ON the water!

Well done on great, consistent results.

:D Sorry to perplex you with my euphemism. It wasn't worth the time was it!? I hope you didn't try to google it! I just hate to use the real word if I'm talking to someone I know has been struggling with it. Personally, I really try to put up as many mental barriers as I can. Kind of like my husband sticking up a wall of menus between himself and his brother-in-law when we ate at a restaurant and the b-i-l ordered something my husband actually does think is disgusting!


A big congratulations on the loss. 1.5 kilos in a week is very nice and you have certainly earned it!!!
 
:)

Hey, congratulations for your determination and motivation. You sound like a healthy young man and you will lose this extras in no time and open a new page in your private life. It's so exciting, isn't it? :seeya: Good for you!
 
Thanks for the positive comments, it sure does help.

This is my 6th week of swimming and i did 50 laps this morning. My goal when i started was to hit 50 laps by January/February but it's happened alot sooner. I'm pretty happy with myself but I am buggered. In fact i'm really happy with myself. I can feel such an attitude change in myself after controlling my eating habits for 2 weeks now.
 
This is great!!

What a wonderful early Christmas present you are giving yourself and how cool that you can keep getting it over and over!!! :D
 
Another 50 laps down today and eating is still on track. I leave tomorrow evening for about a week so i won't be able to swim thurs/fri and mon/tues. While i'll have internet access i don't think i'll be able to weigh myself until i get back. Not a major issue but i'd like to know what i weight come monday. Might be a bit of an issue food wise as i won't be able to prepare alot of my own food wed/thurs and mon/tues.
 
Well here we are on Friday and i've managed to break my good eating habits. Last night i had a nice calzone followed by some cocktails. Not sure how many calories i consumed. I'll try to keep things on track for when i come home next week. It won't be a total blowout though but i may not lose any weight for the week.
 
Sorry to hear about your breakup. Break ups suck. :)

The cool thing is that you're not letting it drive you into wallowing in self pity and self-destructive behavior. So you had a minor indiscretion yesterday, no worries. You're getting back on track and moving on. Nice job. :)
 
Time away from home was more disruptive to me than any other thing this year. I sure can relate to that sort of slip. I reckon it really helps if you can at least try to maintain your attitude of trying to do the best you're able to, during the time away and you're doing that!! :D At least in these situations you know the awkwardness has a fairly short time limit on it.
 
Today would be weigh in day but i'm unable to do that until Wednesday.

Past few days has been a train wreck diet wise. I've been out for dinner or had take out most nights. Home wednesday morning and i can't wait to get back into the pool and straighten out my eating. It has not been so much me losing control of my eating habits but being around others who want to go out for dinner or get this or that and i'm not really in the position to cook my own food - not that i didn't enjoy the meals, i just should not of eaten as much as i have.

I'm hoping i've maintained my weight while i've been away. I've not done any exercise but i have done some walking here and there. I'll see on wednesday morning.
 
I really relate. It's much harder to control what you eat while in your current circumstances, and a combination of that, and the lesser amounts of exercise make issues with portion control harder to deal with!

Keep your mind turned towards not being able to wait to get back on track, and this will all still happen for you. The long term is the real deal here. Keeping a lid on what's happening now and managing it as best you can will make it easier to fully kick back in shortly. At least this is only a short term challenge. You have more progress to come soon I'm sure!! :)
 
It's so nice to be home.

Going to the pool in about an hour and i'll start tracking my eating habits on fitday again. Wow, last week was a real train wreck in regard to what i ate. I've not weighed myself this week but i will weigh in on monday.
 
Last week was pretty shocking food wise so i'm surprised i lost any weight. I've been slack on tracking what i'm eating but i'm starting again as of today.
