Justina's February Diary

On Tally's comment about a belt..I have one with Betty Boop (got for Christmas) and can't wait to be able to wear that again! So nice to need belts.....ah, the good ol' days!

HOLY MOLY AMAZING! Good job!!! I am so proud of you!!! So much hard work and youre getting wonderful results :) I love it!!!! You are such an inspiration! I hope you have a fabulous day!!

:cheers2:
 
Hey Justina

I feel your struggle to loose weight, keep trying you will get there sooner then you think. What do you thinks is harder to do dieting or exercise? As long as I prepare my days worth of food I go ok with the dieting but the exercise I hate with a passion, I don't mind swimming thou.

Thanks guys for the complimnts and congrats :cheers2:
i m indeed well happy.
In fact today i was down another 0.5kg (1lb) so YAY! its not official so aint going on my signature - but i m just well happy! :hurray:

That means my goal is totally realistic by the beginning of April.
Feruary was kinda mean to me - i think March loves me :) & i love March too! <3

So i might have mention in some of your diaries - i m going on a shopping trip to NY with my sister - and i m so excited!!! it is also a very good incentive for me to be able to size 12 (american size) - i m 14 know. i still have 4 weeks. so i think it s feasible. I m also doing the body sculpting class twice this week - so i m not just losing the weight but shaping/toning my body too!
So all positive.

i m also meeting some friends before NY in London - i m flying to NY from there - so i m staying a night. Some of my friends i havent seen for over a year - i m excited to show my new figure up.

You see I have plenty of things that will keep me motivated over March. :)

Today's menu:
Breakfast: cereals w banana
Lunch: Small beans + wholegrain rice with nuts/raisins/cinnamon/chili - ( i ve gone a bit mad experimenting) - it came out OK
Snack:grapefruit
Dinner: green salad with tuna

Excerczie: 90 min cardio again
(getting a bit bored - but swimming pool was shut this week - cant wait tomorrows body sculpting class! & i m back to the pool on wednesday!!)

Happy New Week everyone! :grouphug:
 
Girl!!! :eek:!!! :party:!! You are doing SO AMAZING!! You just inspired the heck out of me when I saw a 90 min cardio + weights!! WOW!! Look at you!! :D!!! Making me wanna step it up RIGHT NOW as I type!! ;)!!! LOVE IT!!!

It's so funny, that as you workout, and drop weight, that the goal weight that we all have intended in our mind, might "LOOK" the part even faster than our goal weight. I think we should definitely remind ourselves, so that we can really PUSH while we are working out/weight training! The more effort in the moment, the more we can change the muscle tone, even without changing the weight. :D!!

SO PROUD OF YOU!! CONGRATS ON SMASHING ALL THOSE POUNDS THIS WEEK!! What a WARRIOR~!!!! :D!!! Your trip sounds like it's going to be fun. It's going to be great that everyone you haven't seen in a while gets to see you all filled with happiness of your new figure! You are working for it, so great job!! Let's STEP IT UP this week, lady!
 
You are doing wicked awesome!
Your trip sounds like a fun time!! Enjoy!
March def. loves you! This is gonna be an awesome month for you!
 
New York!! How exciting! That is huge motivation to get in shape and so some awesome shopping while you are there! Man your trip sounds totally awesome! Plus some time in London!!! I'm so jealous!

I was just telling my fiance I really need to go on a trip next year! It seems like its been far too long since I have been anywhere awesome or new. I was thinking something pretty tame like Hawaii though lol

Doing fabulous!! You are doing so awesome :)

PS I have 2 size 12's and the sizes here ARE CRAZY! One is more like a size 16.. I swear I wish they would get rid of the crazy vanity sizes. It's okay whatever size I am.. I can take it. I just want some consistency here!

Hey Tally, Shopping in NY really keeps me going. as well as seeing my London friends.. i used to live in the UK (8 yrs) - so it s gonna be great to be back for a night.
Hawaii sounds wicked!!! Aloha!!
Sizes...oh yeah - i know the magic of being of size in one shop and 2 size smaller in another LOL- some consistency would b appreciated

Today s been a very productive day! I had my body sculpting class this morning & loved it! we had a different teacher this time. He was so funny!

Variety is the spice of life!

WOW! You really have a busy workout schedule going. IMPRESSIVE!!! But no rest day? Are you sure about that?

Your diet looks really healthy as always! :seeya:
 
You're doing great, I'm impressed with your commitment of diet & exercise combined! Absolutely amazing! More power to you for working out all 7 days & for about 2 hours a time, DANG! No wonder you are seeing such fantastic results!
 
I am so jealous - Belly Dancing! I have been wanting to sign up for a class - just not by myself - and none of my friends are interested.

You are doing an awesome job!
 
I am Also jealous of the belly dancing!! Looks great!

You are really dedicated that is a full on exercise routine!! And 3.3 pounds on a week is a fantastic loss, you shod be very proud! :)

Good luck for this weeks weigh in!

Its rainig....(but not men) just simply raining here....LOL anyway good day so far.
i have swimming today - but i m kinda thinking about giving it a miss...as one of my eyes hurts...maybe too much computer (i work on computer every day)
but i really fancy the sauna afterwards.....mmm chilling in the hot sauna after swimming - that s just bliss!!!
So i ll see.
Today is the first day of Lent. Traditionally (the way i grew up) i should only eat 3 times & no meat... one day only - i think i can handle that. Snack belongs to lunch - its kinda my dessert :D

Foodwise:
Breakie: Cereals + almonds + kiwi + date
Lunch: WOK : Tofu + vegetables + noodles YUM - homemade dressing & bean sprouts
Snack: Strawberries
Dinner: Greek salad

BTW my scale - might be broken - i keep losing weight the whole week - lol - not that i m complaining - but i ll wait until scale day to make it official :D

Have a nice day everyone :grouphug:
 
Hello Justina!

I just wanted to drop by and say how much I've enjoyed reading your diary!It's just so incredibly inspiring,you're doing GREAT!You're exercise routine is incredible-and that you're enjoying it more and more is even more incredible,(i'm yet to enjoy exercise haha!I'm not a big fan,but i'm trying) and your food logs are brilliant to-I especially liked the sound of your tofu and veg noodles,sounds yummmmer yummer!I may try and make that for myself tonight you know!

Good luck with the Belly dancing,which,sounds so much fun!I've also always wanted to have a go myself,although to be honest i'm not a great dancer!But then it's not all about that is it!Hmmm maybe I'll have a look and see if there are any local clubs and such :D

I look forward to reading your future updates!
 
They offer belly dancing somewhere around here (not in my immediate area) an aquaintance goes but I never really thought it'd be something I'd like. She says it is a good work out though. Enjoy!
