Keeping up a constant battle

Well i have to go to work at 2 today and i had a shower when i first got up so i didnt want to have to intensly shower again after a work out so i decided to do some light excersise you get my heart rate up to the pace when walking. Ive been getting back into the wii again, and am figuring out different ways to add spice back to the old routines they have on there.

ill tell you what, those ankle weighs have been an awesome investment for me. Not only can i weaar them while im working to burn off some extra calories without noticing, but they are great to use to do a light steps routine to get the whole body working. i usually use my arms anyway but add just a bit of weight to my hands is perfect. i do have other weights but they are for the more intense resistance training. V v cool...
 
Back up to 59.6 today - not too stressed about that though, putting it down to not so much a gain of fat but i gain of muscle because i have been working the muscles a lot this week. I'm thinking about joining this circut traing thing we have in town - really wanna start getting great results.
 
Toay I weighed in at 59.7, so not too bad - starting to get to the point of the month where i experience slight increases in my weight. However i know that if I can keep it constant through this time then I will get a decent weight loss come around the 10th of next month.

My eating habits have been really bad lately. Im just about to move so i cant exactly keep the fridge stocked with what it should be cause it will go to waste. Plus work is still fairly constant too so im a bit strapped for time - and thanks to the whole moving thing a bit strapped for cash too.

I've started to go to curves fitness, its a program thing where you do a set routine with these machines that are set up by the fast you go the more intenses the machines get. While i really do prefer free weights this sorta thing keeps you moving and monitors your heart rate for 30 mins, with ever 30 seconds you change what your are doing so the 30 mins goes really fast.

I had a quick check of my measurments which are indicating results but im not going to a proper measurment record until the 1st of next month. Just because i think these times are really important when it comes to motivation and seeing how your progress is going.
 
Oh my god I was sooooo not expecting this but I got a massive loss today!!! Probably due to starting at that new work out place :) But I can happily say that todays weigh in was 58.9! Im in the 58s!!! Only just but still the best weigh in to date!!!! An considering Im just entering the period where i gain weight for the month needless to say i was shocked! My mouth literally dropped open when i saw it!

So for this month if I go off this weigh it (which I wont, i'll go off the weigh in for the 1st but it is always fun to keep track like this) I have lost 1.6kg. This might sound dumb but go me! :)
 
So it is the first of the month again and I've done my measurements and have gotten some really good results.

My bust has reduced by 3cm to 88.5cm
My waist has reduced by 0.5cm to 78cm
My hips have reduced by 3cm to 90.5cm
My thighs have reduced 1cm to 54.5cm
My bodyfat % has gone from 31.9% to 29.9%
And my weight has gone from 60.5 to 58.3kg! Total loss of 2.2kg for the month! :)
 
Cheers Sunflower!

Well I thought it would be fun to look at where i started and where i am now...

My thighs have never been too much of an issue. Obviously they do need to slim down a bit, but there are other areas which are more of a focus. So I started at 60cm about of year ago and am now at 54.5cm, which is a total loss of 5.5cm. Doesnt sound like much but still very noticable.

My bust is an area which ive always wanted to improve. Not so much the front half but the back fat more so. I started at 104cm and while it still needs a lot of work I'm so glad I took pictures cause the difference is very very clear. So at the moment I'm at 88.5 which is a total loss of 15.5cm. Which is a nice big number for a loss and my goal is about 8cm off where I am at the moment.

I never use to have any issues with my hips, but due to certain things that have happened in my life my hips blew out massively to 104cm. So obviously they did become a big part of my goals, literally. So at the moment being 90.5cm has given me a total loss of 13.5cm, which is still aabout 10cm off my goal.

Now the waist is where the big results have been. Probably strange because it is the area which has always haunted me so I find it weird that it was the first area to really change massively. Anyway I started out at 100.5cm and now I am at 78cm - total loss of 22.5cm - huge number! Very proud of this. However the waist is where my biggest goal was and I am about 10cm off that still too.

I love body fat percentages. I think it is truely the best way to track how your progress is going. It shits all over your BMI and your weight can change so much depended on so many different things - where as BF% can be so much more reliable when it comes to progress. So I started out at 46.1% and im now at 29.9% which is total % loss of 16.2%. So that is very exciting. My goal is around teh 16% mark so still about 14% off that.

Final as much as i dont think weight is as clear as BF% when it comes to progress it is still the magic number that any person trying to get their ultimate body goes back to. And why not I guess, when you are seeing results it is a number you can comunicate to anyone in the street and have them understand your achievments. So I started out at 74kg... and I am now at 58.3kg - total loss of 15.7kg. Which for our dear American friends is a loss of about 35 lb. Man pounds makes it sound even more impressive. So i started at... 163 lb and im now... 129 lb. Pretty cool really. My goal weight is 48kg.

Now I just have to say that these goals i am talking about aren't set in stone, they are just estimates of what i think i shoul be aiming for. I havent found any definate ratios to work off, but if anyone knows what the ratios are feel free to let me know!! I mean goal weights are easy but as for body measurments i havnt ha any luck finding anything. I may even make a new post to find out if anyone else knows...
 
Not much to report really... ive been working non stop so its been hard to get some excersise in but im planning on doing that between shifts today - also i have found that working in a kitchen that doesnt have any healthy food is a bit of a bitch. Either i do eat something and its really bad for me or I dont eat anything at all that whole day because i feel so bad for what i ate the day before... hm...
 
Well i had a pretty hectic week last week - non-stop work and then non-stop partying! However managed to not gain any weight though - so thats good. Getting back into the excersise this week.

I am down to right on 58kg. So pretty happy with that. Hopefully will be able to get into the 57s by this weeks end.
 
Feeling kinda low at the moment, i shouldnt be but i am.

I weighed in today at my lowest - 57.8, im finally in the 57s - so thats pretty good. But im not jumping around for joy - im actually feeling very depressed.

I thought my eating was getting better but im having a bad day today. Its 1pm at the moment, i havnt eaten anything yet today. I am so hungry but everytime i pick up food i just want to cry. Over the weekend i got fairly drunk, on Saturday was the day i was drinking, but i was also worried about looking fat. However i was not wanting to get wasted so i always try to eat - but i didnt really. I just wasnt hungry. But in the end i made myself very sick, was throwing up a lot.

Yesterday i ate food, i knew i was hungry so I ate. After two bites i felt full. I tried to make myself eat more but it wasnt going to happen. So I spred it out over the day but ended up being sick anyway.

Im sorry i am not making much sense at the moment. Im all shaking and cant think straight. But i just keep thinking about what happens if i dont lose the rest of the weight. I know that my boyfriend doesnt care about that, but i do. I want to be able to go to the beach in a bikini and not feel like a whale, i want to be able to go out in town and not be running to the bathroom every five minutes to look at myself sideways to make sure that my clothes are sitting right so that i dont have any flabby bumps.

I mean I have been doing this battle all my life, in 12 months i have lost 16kg but it just seems the more I lose the more i realise i have so far to go.

Im so confused right now - i dont want to eat, i just want to excersise but i know that is a stupid thing to think. My logical side at the moment is having a fight with my ultimate desires... and im just so sad...

Back up to right on 58kg today. Not too much of a big deal.

I have not been very good this month i guess. I've been fairly relaxed when it comes to excersise which sucks. Trying to find some motivation.
 
I had a massive gain today - has given me a reality check too.

I got to the gym yesterday - but any calories i actually burnt i ended up eating back. I need to find that motivation again. I cant believe i ha such a massive gain. I have had such a rollercoaster of a ride in the past year. I gone from over eating to not eating at all and now seem to be back to over eating once again. Last night i had some hot chips because i was bored! Seriously, i thought i was over this. But apparently not.
 
D day time, this months measurements...

BF - 16.6kg - loss of 0.8kg - total loss of 16.8kg
 
Weighed in at 58.9kg today, im about to get back into it. Time to get serious, time to get sweaty!

Its october - three months till the end of the year - i dont want to get to new years and make my resolution to lose weight! ENOUGH! This new years i wanna make a resolution which doesnt resolve around my body because i want to have my ultimate body by then. It is not unrelistic - I WILL be 50kgs by the 1/1/11!!!! 9kg in three months - thats 3 kg a month... a bit tricky but so do-able. That 0.75kg a week.

So if i fail to plan, im planning to fail - so i need to get a hardcore action plan into progress. Leave it with me and ill report back later!
 
I went for a swim today - i did one full km, pretty cool. Eating habits have gotten better. Finding food less appealing so if im going to eat im going to eat the right things... for now anyway - who knows what tomorrow will bring
 
Today i had a good day. I went to the gym and then went swimming again right after. I did another full km swim but today i did it in half the time i did yesterday.

I know ive dropped weight again, i havnt done an offical weigh in or anything but just had a look at my scales today. I use the Wii to do my actually weigh ins cause my scales arnt very accurate.

Eating was good, cut out an extra 300 calories which i generally would have eaten, also i have been taking a lot of ravioli to work with me for dinner, however i dont put it with any pasta sauce. It actually allows my body to realise when it is full - so much sugar causing more and more cravings for food, plus by not putting the sauce on it i save like 400 calories.
 
Very sad but i couldnt wait until tomorrow to do my weigh in - i just had to know today! Hahahah but a good result. Loss of 1.1kg so im back down to 58.3kg. Not to shabby but i still have 8.3kg to go before the end of the year.
 
Okay so today was the actual weigh in day, it came to a gain of 0.2kg taking me up to 83.5. Not surprised i didnt eat very well yesterday which sucks. So frustrating looking back and going " NO!! WHY DID I EAT THAT!!!"

sigh
