Lucy's Diary

I lovesss coffee <3 Glad you stuck your plan over the weekend! Such self-control! Good luck for the weigh-in pretty lady xxx
 
Thanks Sunflower!! I wish I always had this kind of self-control!! It kind of comes and goes in bursts lol.

Well weird kind of week, I was actually nervous about stepping on the scales this morning because I didn't feel like I did last week- where I could actually TELL I'd lost weight... Even though I ate really well and did my exercise etc. Ah well, it didn't matter anyway... cuz I stepped on the scales and.....

66.1kg!!

(145.7lbs= 2lb loss this week!!)

I'm so freakin excited!!! That means- potentially- if this week is extremely insanely awesome, I could reach my halfway mark by next Monday!!! 2 WEEKS AFTER MY 1/4 WAY MARK!! Mega super excitement!!! I actually had a small goal to reach 65.3kg by next week cuz that's our monthly weigh in at the gym- and that would mean I had lost 3kg this month. I FULLY hope to smash it!!

Todays Plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 2 beef chevups
Snack: Banana, oaty fruit bar
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, homemade banana choc bran muffin
Dinner: Leftover green curry stir fry with chicken breast and mixed veg
Snack: Protein shake with water

Exercise
1hr walk, 1hr gym with trainer

YAY!!! Off to update my ticker!!!!!! Have a great Monday!
 
Thanks Hanabi!! Going to try my hardest!!!

URHHGHGHGHGGHGH so just got back from the gym... It's Monday so it's supposed to be our 1 hour group session with the trainer. WELL I got there and the trainer told me it was just me tonight... I was a bit like EEP- just me for the whole HOUR?? He said he'd just do it like a normal 30min one-on-one... so I was like ok and jumped on the treadmill to warm up for 10mins (like I normally do at the beginning of a 30min sesh... I got to the gym early anyway so started on time with the 10 min warm up) HA 30mins my ASS... the session started at 7:30 and we finished at 8:22 according to my phone!!! I can tell you right now... I'm officially BUGGERED. Bleeaugh!!! I know it's good for me but ouch lol. PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!! Did heaps of new exercises too, so it was an interesting session.

Tired now... just thought I'd put in... today was another perfect day, YAY!!!

Tomorrow will be my cheat day of the week, eating healthy all day but going out for dinner tomorrow night so will just be eating maintenance calories (or as close as I can figure) Not too concerned... cheat day last week was an epic fail but I still managed a big loss!! At least I'll be controlled tomorrow cuz there's a huge group of people going with me so I know I won't be a lil piggy!! Night all!!!
 
66.1 kgs! Atta girl!

And looks like you are doing great at the gym! Good for you!

Hope you have a great day!
 
Grats on the big loss this week! That's got to feel great! And good job sticking with the plan over the weekend! That's hard, I know. Sorry to hear the rest of your group flaked out today, but hey, you got a one on one session. Sure, it kicked your butt, but I bet you'll feel great as soon as the soreness is gone.
 
Thanks Flumes- I totally love the gym. SO good having someone push you passed your limits too... I surprise myself every session by pulling one more rep from somewhere when I thought I was done!

Thanks for stopping by Mizzie- really hoping I can keep it up this week too!! Would love another big loss and I TOTALLY feel like I'm on a roll right now!

I'm already a bit angry at myself this morning... it's the coldest morning EVER and I chose yesterday to leave my coat at work, GRRRR!!!! Will be walking in my shitty little jacket then. Guess it'll make me walk faster!!
I already mentioned today will be a cheat day!! I've got all my meals mapped out as usual then dinner is whatever I want. Going to Sizzler with a group of people so it's a buffet... I don't usually get a meal though, think I'll just stick with the salad bar and then have dessert. So healthy and with a treat. I don't drink soft drink either so no empty calories coming from there!! And going with a group of people from work so I will be well behaved. Not that I feel like I need to worry much anymore, I have so much control these days I am surprising myself constantly!!

Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 2 beef chevups
Snack: Banana, oaty fruit bar
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, wholemea banana bread
Dinner: *FREE* 1143 cals left to make up to maintenance... I don't really see me eating THAT much!!

Exercise
30min walk (only walking TO work today- Wade is coming tonight so he's taking me home and going with me! YAY excited!!!)

Have an awesome day guys!!!
 
Just got back from dinner, was SO much fun!!! It was my cheat meal and there was plenty of salad... followed by icecream. It was great :D Going to be good for the rest of the week now though!!
Got tomorrow off, going to do a massive load of baking!! One of the girls I work with who loves all my recipes wants me to make a healthy raisin toast for her... never made a raisin loaf before so I'm pretty excited!!! Also making raspberry and orange muffins and more banana bread. If I come up with anything amazing I'll be sure to post the recipe as always!!
 
Glad you had a fun time at dinner!
I really like your idea of having a "cheat" day and just eating up to maintenance. That way it's not like it's something unrealistic that you'll have to make up for or anything.
Baking bread is pretty fun! I hope you make some yummy things. :)
 
Yay, day off!! And I still got out of bed at 6am lol. Why can I not sleep in?????

I was expecting to feel a bit heavy and gross this morning (as I usually do after eating crap when I haven't for a while) But NOPE!! I guess I actually listened to my body and stopped eating when I was full. I don't even feel bloated! I'm happy cuz I still ate whatever I wanted :D
Today is going to be a relatively lazy day... bit of cleaning, lots of baking (which always puts me in an amazing mood) Going to be healthy of course... planning to get 6 out of 7 perfect days this week!! I did it last week, no reason why I can't do it again!

Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 3 chicken chipolatas
Snack: Banana, oaty fruit bar
Lunch: Toasted wholemeal sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, prune and zucchini muffin
Dinner: Tuna quesadilla

Exercise
1hr gym cardio

Happy hump day everyone! Might check in again later!!
 
Just had to post this... got back from the gym just then, I ran 5.487kms in 30mins!!! Getting further, will be 6kms in no time at all!!!

Also stole this from a friend's facebook (she's actually a fitness instructor), I thought it was awesome!!

WINTER MANTRA FOR ALL
? I will be my own motivation
? I will make my muscles burn to survive the winter chill
? I will do it not to be the best, but to be my best
? I will be a winter warrior

:waving:
 
Wow, 5.4 km in half an hour is great! Are you doing it on a treadmill? Going at a steady speed or doing intervals or something?

That's a really cute "winter mantra." Although, seeing as it's blisteringly hot where I am at the moment, it's hard to take to heart at the moment. xD
 
Yea on a treadmill- I ran steadily at 10.8kms for most of it, hit a good running song on my ipod and jacked it up to 11.5kms for 5mins sometime in the middle lol... then the last 3mins- I did 2mins on 12kms and ran the last min out on 13kms. Going to try running steady at 11.2kms next time!! I used to be able to run 6kms in 30mins so aiming for that- will hopefully get there in a few weeks!!

Hehe we are just going into winter now... as winter-y as it gets here anyway, it was 27c the other day lol. I think it's going to rain tonight... it's pretty much just the mornings that are cold!!
 
Balls!!! I got through most of yesterday to fuck it up!!! ARGGHH!!! I know where I went wrong though... Got back from the gym and was hungry, so thought I'd eat some of my fresh baking. Which wasn't a problem, I was still under cals and had enough to spare for a protein shake for dinner. Which was all good... only not the smartest idea cuz it was about 2pm, so even after my protein shake I was STARVING by 6pm... had a muffin, that was still ok, still had about an 800cal deficit... but then hubby wanted to do the grocery shopping so we went out to buy food. It took all my self control not to grab anything I REALLY wanted- my entire body was screaming SUGAR!!!!- Then I get home, Oh so proud, unpack the shopping... and discover hubby has bought icecream without my knowledge. I had absolutely no self control left... I ate... the ENTIRE fricken container!!! 1200 cals of ICECREAM!!! Was not even a flavour I was particularly fond of, it was just there and I wanted it!! Urgh not happy with myself today.
Shakin it off... if I can get through the rest of the week, 2 bad days out of 7 is NOT bad at all, and I can still finish on a loss. Not a huge one but it doesn't need to be every week... every loss is a good one and a step in the right direction!! I'm glad I have training tonight, just seeing my PT scares the sugar craving right out of me lol.

Todays Plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal toast with 2 eggs and 4 extra lean beef chipolatas
Snack: Banana, homemade spicy apple bread
Lunch: Wholemeal sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, homemade raspberry and orange muffin
Dinner: Tuna quesadilla

Exercise
1hr walk, 10min jog, 30mins gym with trainer
 
Ouch on the icecream. But I hear ya....the other nite, my wife bought the kids some doritos for their snacks at the babysitters. Well....I found them while watching the hockey game and before I knew it....I ate about a third of the bag...it was a bigggg bag lol. Ol habits are hard to break. I just watched myself a lil better....cals broke even by the end of the week.

So try to work it out over a week maybe. It'll make ya feel a lil better at least.
Take care
 
Oops, ice cream. Been my downfall many a time.
You're right to not sweat it, though! I had a not-so-hot day yesterday as well, but I know we can both pick right back up.
2 days out of 7 is so not bad! Good for you for going to PT anyway. Good luck!!
 
Thanks Flumes- it's amazing how self control works... I mean, I HAD it... I made it home, desperate for sugar but I held out and as soon as I thought I could let my guard down, there was the fricken icecream. And I was ALL out of willpower by then!!! I guess it happens to everyone, it's the not sweating it and getting back into a healthy routine that's the difference between before and now!!

Hanabi- I'm too scared to miss my PT session!!! My trainer lives in the same building as me- he'd probably come get me and MAKE me work out!! Lol actually it's so much a part of my routine now I can't imagine missing it no matter HOW bad I've been. It keeps me on track too- I always feel like he can see whenever I've been bad (yea, cuz that 200g extra is SO obvious lol... I guess after eating bad you 'feel' fat though right??) Oh well, it keeps me in line!!

So BACK on the wagon today, was a super perfect day again... hoorah!! Been pretty up and down for me emotionally though... everything is reminding me of Jamie today. It's been rainy and horrible all day- our fave weather... and I've heard at least 3 of 'our' songs today on the radio. I don't know what's going on with me today... I was even 'what if-ing' today which I haven't done in a LONG time. I just can't help but imagine how much more amazing life would be if he was still here... Sucks how life never turns out the way you want it.
It's all good, just got to pull myself out of it as I always do. At least today it didn't reflect in my eating as it always used to.

Goodnight all!!! Positivity will be present for the rest of the week, I promise!
 
Good morning all! I feel awesome this morning- funny how whenever you go from eating junk food one day to having a good one how much better you feel!! Makes me wonder why I ever eat junk food!!!
Well it's Friday... I'm not excited this week though cuz I work tomorrow. Boo!!! Don't have gym tomorrow either cuz my PT is away this weekend so I'll just go in and do my own thing. Hm nothing much to say really... having a quiet weekend overall I think!

Todays Plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal toast with 2 eggs and 3 chicken chipolatas
Snack: Banana, oaty fruit bar
Lunch: Wholemeal sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, homemade wholemeal banana bread
Dinner: Veal stir fry with mixed veg, rice, soy sauce

Exercise
1hr walk
 
Yay- another perfect day!! So 3 out of 5 this week, and 2 to go!! Push push!! Lol... Determined to see a loss this week despite my small mess up on Wed.

Went into the city with hubby tonight and bought the CUTEST lil dress!!! It's the tiniest bit small, like it doesn't zip all the way up at the back... but I'm determined to get into it!! Me and my freakin boobs lol. Yay that'll be an exciting night when I can go out wearing it and having it fit perfectly!! Just a lil bit more motivation for me!
 
Yay, way to go on another perfect day!! Your eating plan sounds really great.

After reading your post, I'm thinking about going and buying a really cute dress as well, to motivate me... I hope you'll post pictures! :)
I can relate to the boob situation too, lol. The dresses I want to buy are usually too small in that area. It seems I got the small frame from my dad's side, but the height and larger chest size from my mom. xD

And as always, thanks for your comments on my journal! I love hearing from people.
