Cazza's Diary

Update

I ate a bit more than I hoped yesteray. About 14-00 - 1500 calories. Ok for maintenance but not for weight loss.

I've eaten well so far today.
1 x banana
1 x salad with avocado and tuna
1 x apple
piece of left over chicken
baked snapper sweet potato and salad for dinner

I'm joining the gym this arvo so I'm hoping some resistance training will speed up the weight loss I joined the gym but have to get a medical clearance before i can do anything due to a heart condition. I'm seeking the doc on wednesday so will get the clearance then. I feel good and productive.

Feeling a bit low

Well I've been doing regular exercise up until recently. My back has been playing up and today I woke up with no pain. I thought that was great but my back went out again later in the morning. I was looking forward to getting back on the treadmill and doing some exercise tonight but it will be complete rest for the rest of the week except for coming to work.

I was feeling sorry for myself and wanted to eat a block of chocolate but haven't done so yet.

I'm so pissed off. Not being able to exercise makes it so much harder to lose weight.
 
Neurofen plus

I found neurofen plus yesterday. It is great at pain management. Even though I haven't been able to exercise I am doing great with my food. I didn't crack and eat the chocolate yesterday.

Got on the scales today and was 61kg. I'm a bit heavier at teh moment due to TOM. It always makes me hold about 1kg water weight.

It's a lovely day here in Canberra today. Warm and no wind. Beautiful sunshine here and my clothes are baggier.

YIPPEE
 
exercise

I got back on the treadmill today. Feels good to do some exercise again. I stepped it up to see if i could jog and I finished 2.5 minutes of jogging which is more than i have done since i was 16. I am very happy with that, but i think i need to be careful of my back.

Only 4 weeks until my holiday and my aim is to lose 3kg in the next 4 weeks and i'll be at my goal weight.

This week i ate salad for lunch nearly every day and i really enjoy it. Salad with avocado and flavoured tuna.

well got on the scales today and it showed at 60.7 kg. My measurements have gone down a little. an extra cm on my thighs and legs.

It's a beautiful day here in canberra. Top of 25c

:hurray: for the 2.5mins. every little bit counts. I start out that way with running/jogging. Might not be the highest number ever, but its better than "0" or a few seconds! Good job!!!

I went out to a party last night and ate alot and had some wine so my calories were pretty bad.

I'm back on the wagon today. I didn't lose any weight this week but i haven't put any on.

I'm exercising for 30 minutes nearly every day so i hope that helps/.

keep up the good work cazza, you will get there. Maybe you are on a plateau. Could you throw in some strength work outs or more protein less carbs for a couple days?
 
No happy

Got on the scales this morning and i'm up to 61kg. What the.

I 've been eating really well and exercising. It's like i need to almost starve myself to lose.

I hope it's just a gliche.
 
dont get discouraged, day to day and week to week fluxes can easily get you down but they are fluxes and it will go back. For instance I know if I see my weigh go up more than 3lbs from prior day that PMS is coming!
 
update

Back down to about 60.5kg at the moment. I don't seem to be moving much on the scales at the moment. I'm going to change up my meals next week. Have more calories for breakfast and less for lunch and dinner. I'm also working out more so I may be building muscle.

My calories yesterday was 1525
Today I'm aiming for 1200.
 
update

still 60.5

went to the gym and did 40 min on eliptical treadmill and rower then about 20 min of weights.
I've worked out 5 days this week.

today i have had 2 pieces of toast
1 small ali baba

This week I'm giving up dairy to see if that makes a difference
 
if your cutting out dairy , make sure you still get enough calcium, it also looks like you may not be eating enough ? how many calories are you eating each day on average?

Don't get discouraged by the scales, are your measurments going down ? try having your bodyfat % measured at your gym.
