Thanks sweet Amanda - are you sure there arent any classes around your area? I m reasearching my home town atm - and i m surprised how many new fitness places i found! Maybe its worth a try checking it out!!! :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a good day again!!My friend left early this morning - and i m completely confused about the days...i kept thinking it was Monday today...LOL!

Also i have started to do some research on the gyms/fitness places available in my home town! I m going to see my parents end of next week - so i m dreading the eating scene... I ll be home for 5 days. i think its not gonna be easy. So i found a few classes i could take. One is a fitness ball class, the other is a "body shaping class" i guess it s a form of body sculpting. So i could go and do a few classes. then i found another place: a gym - where i could go the rest of the days. They seem quite afforable too. I figured if i plan ahead then i may cope better. 17 days until my NYC trip - so I really dont wanna ruin everything spending 5 days at home binge eating without excercize..

Today i had:
Breakie: cereals (double servings :angelsad2: ) with kiwi
Lunch: big bowl of pasta with tuna
Snack: 2 grapefruits
Dinner: Greek Salad
Snack: a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice

Excercize: 60 min swimming (followed by 3 sessions in the sauna)
i could have done more than 60 min - i wsnt tired - but i got so bored -my bad...maybe on Saturday...

BIG HUG PEOPLE!!! :grouphug:
 
You're so enthusiastic, not even thinking about skipping exercise while you visit your parents. Your hard work really have to give results! Think you'll be in fantasic shape for your NY trip. Keep it up!!!
 
In my area, I'd have to travel 45min. to get to the nearest class.
There is a lady doing Zumba but she's doing it Tues. night, same time as my cardio and Thurs. morning when I go to SFL for my weigh in.......thinking on maybe changing my wi to Tues. but not 100% sure yet if I can.
There is also a belly dancing class but that is 45min. away too.

We have a gym in town but all it has is about 8pcs of equipment (for circut workout), there is no supervision, and it was $70 a month the last time I was there and someone said it had gone up...doesn't offer classes or any kind.

I'm keeping my ears open though.
 
Still doing super fab :) Awesome about planning ahead on exercises! I can't believe your trip is so close! Exciting! My family always tries to stuff me with food too. It's so crazy.

My mom always calls it a diet if I don't get more then 2 plates lol Eats lots of salad before the meal so you feel fuller but still have room for their fab food :) I have 2 bbq's next month! We shall see if I fare well at them lol
 
Way to go girl - keep the positive attitude going and plan ahead for your visit with your parents. You want to look and feel your best for all that shopping in NY!!!

60 min of cardio is still excellent.
 
Planning ahead is def the best plan for visiting people. Some times you just have to cut portions and make the best choices you can when your at someone elses.

Have a good trip

Charlie

Ouch! that gym sounds expensive. hmmm....it would be nice if they moved one of your classes...see what happens. have you thought of fitness dvd? there are so many good ones out! i used to do it when i didnt have a car - and lived way too far from the gym to go every day.
Good luck!!!!

Thanks Charlie - yup! i hope my plan is going to pay off!!
My trip to my parents is not due until another 10 days.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the timeline:
10 days until i m going to see my parents
15 days until London
16 days until NY
So its time to step it up!!!!
Woooohooooo!!! My goal is to be able to fit into a US size 12 jeans!!!!

I havent been able to do this for about....6 years!!!

& i m soo close now...i perfectly fit in a size 14 now...that means my last day in NY in about 21 days i could go down a dress size....:jump:
You guys think its feasible?


Excercize routine for the day:
20 mins light walking
50 mins body sculpting class
5 min extra weight training between classes
50 mins belly dancing

I absolutely loved the body sculpting!! it nearly killed me but that s why i loved it.
Belly dancing...wasnt too keen today...for a start i m behind of almost the whole group...the coreography can be so hard...and sometimes i move around like a robot hahaha!! and also we spent quite a bit of time standing around discussing music..etc...which is cool - but i d rather just move. So i think:
- to catch up
- to do some excercize - make up for the lost time in the class
- to have an excuse to do my make up hehe
i ll do some belly dancing this evening like half an hour..i think i can fit it in.

Food:
Breakie: cereals + banana + skinny latte + freshly squeezed orange juice
Lunch: omlette from 2 eggs with tofu, onion, cherry tomatos
Snack: grapefruit OR strawberries
Dinner: Salad with tuna
WATER - I m changing the ratio: i used to have 30% water - 70% herbal/black tea - now i m swapping this around: 70% water and 30% tea & i ll drink more green - reading your diaries - i remembered good old green tea!

Let the countdown begin!!!

Hugs :grouphug:
 
I feel like its feasible! You have been eating really well and exercising a TON!

Whatever you get to though WOW you have done so amazing!

Just make sure to have LOTS OF FUN! Its gonna be a whirlwind of awesomeness :)

I have sinned....

me and my friend just shared a piece of carrot cake!!!! :blush5: (shared: i had most of it) Good thing i m about to hit the gym....i ll be hard on myself....
:grouphug:
 
I think the idea to share a dessert is great! Plus omg carrot cake! It's REALLY hard for me to pass that up. We have once a month where they bring out all different kinds of cake for birthdays.. even though we don't have many people in the office lol but I would have the biggest slices of carrot cake mmm.

I hope the gym session went well! Hopefully you don't punish yourself too hard lol you still want to workout after today ;) Hoping you have a great scale day!!
