Leslee's Diary - This time I'm doing it for me...

Another good day....allowed myself to have some oven baked chips with my meal tonight...made me feel a little guilty however I think i deserved them:D

Went for a longer run this morning, my body screamed at me but I managed to keep going, had planned to do another workout tonight but feel absolutely exhausted so don't think it would be a good idea.

So far so good...can't wait till I reach that goal weight, have begun to notice clothes getting loose...hopefully it is not my imagination...lol
 
I love loose clothes! they make me happy :rolleyes:
you are absolutley right- you deserve something every now and then- alot of people do a cheat day, and have one meal where its whatever they want.
good workouts to !!
 
I love the idea of a cheat day, I'm just so worried that I would fall off the wagon...bad food is such a compulsion with me...:(
 
You are doing soooooooo Good. Keep it up and everyone needs a day off. So take a dya to eat what you want, Just not too much. Have a Great day and drink your WATER:D
 
Well went for a run this morning, feeling a little unmotivated...my run was one of my shortest and easiest tracks but it killed me this morning, I just seem to be really lacking in energy, might need to get some kind of supplement. I am so sick and tired of knowing every run will end in a hill, all my runs have at least 2 or 3 hard hills in them...I think I need to drive somewhere flat and go for a nice run on the flat and give myself a break from the hills.

Food is going well, I am not really tempted by anything, but am down at the moment and feel like pigging out on something (this is a lightbulb moment for me....I never realised that food was a comfort)

I actually can't believe how good i have been, here I am at the end of week 3almost and not one lot of takeaways, not one favourite food, other than the oven baked chips and they barely count as their was only a few of them.

I am promising myself a treat day if I keep losing at my weigh in this week....but don't know if I should let myself...
 
Well started taking a multi-vitamin today....it made my pee bright yellow all day...lol!

Went for a short 20 minute jog this morning and still felt like I was hitting the wall and not able to get through it...

The good thing is that in the past I would have given up, now I just tough it out!

Eating well still...;)
 
wow it took me 5 months to loose 12 kilos and ur loosing 4 in just 2 weeks, thats pretty good, am jealous, ha ha ha, keep up the good work.
 
Yay for taking a multi!! I'm big on the vitamin, it makes a big difference in energy levels and how you metabolise your foods, good job :)

Instead of a food treat day, have you thought of trying something else? Like a manicure or a new outfit??
 
Well it is finally Saturday...what a long week that seemed...I'm still hanging in here, was very tempted by an easter egg last night but resisted, this is the longest length of time I have ever stuck to a 'diet' so hopefully I can do it. Stupidly tried on some small clothes this morning hoping I'd lost enough to fit them.....that was a real stupid move, I didn't fit them and now feel fatter than ever! I'm 76kg, (167lbs) but feel 90kg at the moment (I know that is rediculous....I think it is being pre-menstrual and all.

Hopefully I can find the willpower to hang in over the weekend...my biggest incentive is that I weigh in on a Sunday so hate to break my diet at all before then.

Exercise this morning - 25 minute(stepper-LTT) 5 minute skipping and 5 - 10 minutes spent doing crunches leg lifts and squats.

My goal weight for tomorrow is 75kg (165lbs) not a huge ask to have lost a kg in a week but just don't feel like I have managed to do it...I wonder whether it is worth weighing when I am pre-mentstrual??

Goal for this week - to include a 2nd exercise session other than jogging into my evenings on at least 3 days of the week. This session will include my stepper, skipping and strength exercises.
 
:( Well a little depressed, no weight loss this week, exactly the same as last week, I expected this as this weight seems to be what my body is comfortable with, I was this weight for years before having my first child...also I am pre-menstrual and a little bloated.

I am going to stick to this goal of eating less bread...i didn't do to well on it this week because I ended up having a healthy sandwich for lunch quite often which is ok, but on two occaisions we couldnt be bothered cooking and had a toasted sandwich which sends my bread quota way over what I need.

Am going to try to workout twice a day once am and once pm and may swap a couple of my running sessions for a skipping session instead, will see how I go...

Well feeling better about my lack of weightloss now...went for out family walk (hubby and I have the kids in strollers) for 4.5 miles(counts as my rest day:rolleyes: this morning and that just helped me get things back in perspective...so I didn't lose this week, I already look a heck of a lot better, and in the three weeks so far I have lost 8.8lbs...better than a kick in the pants!!!!

So I will stop moaning and get on with it, I knew when I started it wasn't going to be easy I just need to get on with it and not expect miracles every weekend...

This is a lifestyle and I AM going to make it!!!!!!!!!!!

My girls 4th birthday is on June 21st and as everyone here as my witness I will look good! And I will weigh 154lbs (70kg) which for my body frame is just perfect!!! (at the moment I am 167lbs so that gives me 13lbs to lose)
 
Hey

Hey, we're the same height and I weigh around the same as you, I can't wait to get to that 154 pounds either. Whoo! It is so doable though, and you're doing fantastic with all the exercise and everything. Don't sweat it about not losing anything this week, keep up the good work, and I bet you that next week you'll look at that scale and feel terrific!
 
Hey thanks so much...yes it is really doable...that is what I have to keep telling myself, it should realistically only take 1 month 1 months tops...the less the better:)

Went for a 25 minute run this morning with two huge hills...felt like hell but kept pushing through the 'pain' and literally it was pain...hee hee

I am going to do that run again tomorrow and again and again till it feels easy...lol!
 
Great - managed to get two workouts in today...did some skipping, stepping, crunches, leg lifts and weights tonight...

Hopefully this will help to kickstart some more weight loss...:D
 
Well went for that killer run again this morning and all was going brilliantly...

then next thing I know I'm on the ground at the bottom of my least favourite hill, I'd turned my ankle and skinned my knees. I lay there in pain for a tiny while with my dog not knowing what was going on:eek: Then I decided to get up, I limped for about 20 metres and then decided it was o.k so kept running (something I never would have done before...any excuse to stop)

Now I'm home with bloody knees and my right ankle cooling down and feeling a lot worse again....

I really hope there is nothing wrong with it:( I have hypermobile ligaments in the right side of my body(flexible) and the opposite in my left side(not flexible at all) so I don't often injure the right side of my body....it just feels extra wobbly....

:(
 
I Am So Proud Of You Because That Was More Determination Than I Have Seen In A While! I Hope You Get Feeling Better But Want To Let You Know Your Doing Awsome And You Are A Real Inspiration Girlfriend!!!
 
Hi! Wow - not only do we both have two kids, but we're in almost the same weight loss pattern. Funny, huh? I'm 5'6" and 154.5 at the moment. Aiming for 145 hopefully by the end of summer.
Well, don't sweat the absence of weight loss. It'll happen. You're doing great!
 
Well managed to get through the day...my ankle is sore but not extremely sore, just hurts if I stretch it outwards over on the side...:eek: Is quite swollen though:eek:

Managed to exercise tonight as well, only did 20 minutes which included skipping, sit ups, leg lifts, weights (squats)....much to my husbands disgust, he wants me to rest my foot and I know I should but I made a pact with myself that this week I would work my butt off...so unless I can't walk that is what I am going to do.

I plan to run again tomorrow morning, am going to take on those hills again, this time I won't fall down!!!

I will keep an eye on my ankle though and do plan to go and buy a support for it....

We plan to go to a day long party on Saturday so will probably be drinking, hopefully not too much as I don't want to undo any good work I do manage to do...:)
