Lucy's Diary

Wow you are doing so awesome the last couple weeks!! I'm so envious that I didn't keep it up and think I've gained a little. I blame it on being so busy and not getting a chance to read your updates because I know they would have motivated me to try harder. I love having a perfect day and unfortunately I only had 1 out of 7 this week - your dedication is motivating me to pump it up again next week and get another good loss on the scale! I'm so excited for the little dress you bought - can't wait for it to fit and hear all about it! Keep it up Luz - you are on a roll!!!
 
Thanks for dropping by ladies!!! Always great to get feedback from people!!

Well it's Saturday today... and I have work, boo!! Don't have training today as my PT is away, so going to the gym to do more cardio today and tomorrow. I figure it might help me burn a little more!! And work towards my 6kms in 30min goal, I'm so close I can taste it!!! At least it's just me and Wade today... should be a fairly cruisy day, he might even let us close early lol.
No plans as yet for tonight, I was thinking of having a night in. Hubby works today and tomorrow and he's going to a party tonight at a friends place (I was invited too, but this particular friend doesn't like me... She thinks I'm 'too happy'- she's a bit emo lol) I was thinking of chillaxing after the gym and maybe watching all of Pride n Prejudice again, hehe!!! I think tomorrow might be a lazy one too... might even do some more shopping. (I'm so bad! Should really wait until I'm at my goal!! Or closer at least!!!)

Hey luzdafuzz,

Thanks for commenting on my journal. also congrats on all the weight lost so far!! Almost half the battle is over!

I'm so impressed by your consistent work out schedule, you seem to never miss that 1hr. :eek: I need to be like that!! I sometimes get discouraged or bored at the gym and start hopping around machines and end up getting no real work out done but end up tired.

I wish you luck on the rest of the battle!!
 
Oh, I didn't know that you were working towards 6km in 30 minutes! I really like that goal...mind if I steal it? I've been working for a long time in just reducing my time for 5k- never occurred to me to try and up the distance for a set time, for some reason!
Hope you have a good evening! Evenings in are always nice. :)
 
Thought I'd drop in and post... I didn't merely fall off the wagon this weekend, I took a great flying nosedive!! I have absolutely no idea what happened. Yesterday was going fine, then I went to go to the gym after work... wasn't feeling particularly energetic so had my apple before I left- I thought it was my blood pressure (it's naturally low, but if my immune system is low or anything it can drop lower and make me dizzy... food usually helps but I was struggling with hayfever yesterday) Anyway, got to the gym and started jogging on the treadmill. Had it WAAAY lower than usual, and I was struggling to just do that. I managed 13mins then had to stop because I felt kind of sick to my stomach- like I get when I'm pushing myself really really hard. I decided to stop and just go home and was dizzy walking back... then I all at once got the worst sugar cravings ever. I had some toast and thought it would help... then a coffee... and some noodles... then I found myself walking to the deli over the road and buying chocolate, chips and icecream! I ate all the icecream, a handful of the chips and like 3 rows of chocolate... then feeling really sick and disgusted with myself I threw the rest out. Hubby got home a few hours later and decided to get dinner... I ended up getting some hot chips. Then I woke up this morning feeling absolutely RANK. Way over-ate again today too... I tried to work it out from my weekly intake, I think this week I ended up abou 2000cals over maintenance so I get to see a gain on the scales tomorrow, yay... Though it's only technically a few hundred grams, I'm sure it'll be a kg or two in water weight. Did no exercise today either.
Urgh I guess I just need to get right back into it tomorrow, SO not looking forward to weighing in in the morning! Got to push myself this week, not going to let this get me down!!! Going to aim for a perfect calorie week!!!
 
Boo, sorry you went off track all weekend. :( That's really tough. I always get really frustrated whenever I can't complete my workouts for whatever reason, so I can understand why that might've pushed you over the edge a bit.

I also overdid it pretty badly yesterday, so I'm also not looking forward to doing my official weigh-in tomorrow...
But way to go, keeping it all in perspective and using it as motivation to do better this week!! :)
 
I had a horrible weekend food-wise too. But tomorrow is monday, start of the new week and we are all gonna get back on track and have a really really good week. You are doing so well. Lets get right back to it and have a really strong week. Have a good week Luz.
 
Ya Luz...I totally had an awful past few days also. Sometimes I wonder if it is because I prohibit myself from things that I act like a total pig about them! Don't worry about it though, you always get back on track! *hugz*
 
Aw thanks guys... Hate to say it, but my weigh in was SO much worse than I even thought possible... 68.9kg!! Apparently my body didn't know it wasn't supposed to gain more than a few hundred grams and decided to put on almost 3kg!!! I know most of it is water... but omg... that's a fuckload of water. Now I'm in a bad mood grrr... Guess I have to use it to push myself harder this week!!
Just sucks that I got my weight down so far with so much hard work... and it shot all the way back up after a few bad days!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Really hope we AREN'T weighing in tonight at the gym!! Because I suddenly weigh MORE than I did last month!!!! Fuck fuckety fuck. I feel super puffy today too. SO angry at myself!!!!!!! All I can do is keep trucking I guess... Going to pound out 7 perfect calorie days!!!

Bahahaha. And I thought I was pissed off with my 3 lb gain! My gawd...the potty mouth! lol

All joking aside, I hope its just water or whatever. You seem to be doing everything right!
Good luck on your next weigh in and have a great cal countin, gym bustin week!
 
I understand. My friends b-day was last night. They did a round of irish car bombs and they were 10 dollars each so I had to drink it...those babys have around 300 calories in them. (I only drank that and water the whole night though)I felt like poo today so I didnt even work out today...blah. Tomorrow is a new day!
 
Lol Flumes... I don't swear much usually but if I get angry- completely different story. I know I'll be down heaps again in a few days, just really sucks seeing a number that high! Was really hoping to never see a number that high again!! Hopefully I'll be close to where I was again by next week... It is mostly water, I was about 2000 cals over maintenance this week which should only technically be like a 1/4 of a kg gain... Not 3!

Makes it so much worse that I feel so puffy today!! Gah gotta skull water down all day I think. Not having the greatest day at work today either, I feel really off.
 
Ew, sorry, that's no fun seeing the number go up so much!! Even when you know it's just water and bloating, still hurts a bit, doesn't it.

I hate it so much, and I tend to over-react to it, and so that's why I just can't even weigh myself after really bad days like that. ><

Anyway, hope your workday goes a bit better! Keep on keeping on~
 
Hey Luz, sorry to hear you've had a bad couple days - I know it's all water weight and one good day will get you back on track! I'm so puffy from the weekend too that my ring actually hurts on my finger today - it's normally really loose, especially since I've been losing weight and haven't gotten it resized but I haven't been this puffy in a long time - I couldn't get the ring off if I tried! I don't dare step on the scale when I feel this way because I know I'll be up 5 pounds and it will make me discouraged so I'm just going to stay away for a couple days.
Stay on track today and you'll be feeling better again tomorrow! I know you can do it!!
 
Thanks guys, I know I just have to keep going... hate getting discouraged like that!!! Even though I know most of it will be gone in a few days (lol in case you were wondering, curiousity got the best of me this morning so I stepped on the scales and had lost 900g of it already. Stupid water! I still feel puffy this morning, I hate it cuz it's really showing in my face!!)
Eeee OK confession time... I didn't go to the gym last night. I was WAY too terrified to face my trainer and the possibility of our group weigh in session. I know that's a big puss out on my part... but I know how well I've done this month, and he doesn't... If I stepped on the scales to a gain and then said weigh me next week, I'll be much lighter!! I'd look like a tool lol. Eeee and I DID have icecream last night... still had a 400 cal deficit so it wasn't so bad. Not a perfect day but I WILL get past this. I'm feeling a lot better about myself today so well and truly think I might have 6 perfect days in me!
I have today off work so it'll be a bit of a lazier one... but I'm going to hit the gym for some cardio today and tomorrow!! Going to organise my Thurs training session too so I'm not going to pike out!!

Ok so yesterday wasn't great either unfortunately... went over maintenance, BUT after I had, I got so angry and managed to drag myself to the gym which is more than I have done for the rest of the week!! I feel I just needed to kick myself back into it. Plus my trainer was there, and he was bored, so it was all push push for me yesterday!! I am feeling super motivated again... really don't want to undo all my hard work because I had a bad week last week, it was a hiccup, so what... in 2 weeks I'll weigh even less than I did before. I can do this!!
I AM having a little trouble getting myself out of a bit of a rut though, I have been letting too much get on top of me... Still haven't found a new job yet and I'm starting to feel horrible every time I know I have work. Like sick to my stomach horrible. If the owner wasn't such a bitch to me all the time it'd be fine... but she is and she's only getting worse!! Plus Wade was supposed to get results from all his recent tests on Monday, and apparently the results were 'inconclusive' (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean??? They stuffed up somewhere hopefully!) So he spent all Monday arvo at the hospital getting heaps more tests done, get the results tomorrow. I hate this, every few weeks we are freaking out anyway at the results and then this happens grrr. Of course I'm still angry at myself for stuffing last week up too, and then I get angry for letting myself get like this in the first place...!! Oh eee, I'm terrible this week!!! I think TOM is about due so maybe that's why I'm so emo at the moment!
ANYHOO- The main thing is that I'm back on the wagon, feeling motivated again, ready to smash these pesky kgs that are determined to come back!!

Happy hump day all!!
 
Hey Luz - I think it must be something in the air because we are not alone in feeling this way. Many journals I have visited seem to have the same things going on and being in a funk seems to be the choice of words, lol! Maybe it has something to do with long weekends because I know myself it takes some time to get back to things when my schedule is changed. The only positive thing I have to say about it is I know it will pass!
I'm aiming for a perfect day today to get me back in the game - you know you can do it too and guess what we will feel so much better! I just have to keep thinking about that great feeling and getting it back!! I know it's easier said than done but you are so strong and have come a long way! Plus you are totally right in saying your last couple weeks were really strong so your just taking it a little easy this week and getting yourself back together to make next week the best yet!
Sorry to hear about all the other stuff going on too - that never makes putting the effort into healthy eating and working out a priority. It will all work out so just stay positive. Oh and great work getting to the gym so late!
 
Thanks Lisa... I am proud to say that yesterday was finally a perfect (ish) day!!! Stuck 100% to my food, but I was just too damn tired to finish my whole hour of cardio... did 18mins jogging and 20mins on the bike, then thought I was just going to fall asleep so I left... Decided it took me heaps of psyching up to get to the gym, and I'm proud I went.

Ok so I seem to have kicked myself back into it again, and I plan on having 5 perfect days out of 7 this week!! 1 down, 4 to go! Today is going to be a test and a half though... Because one of our staff members at work is away, I have to close with the psycho bitchy owner... which means I'll be working with just her for the last two hours of today. Grrrrrr. Also Wade gets his test results back from the Dr this morning... hopefuly won't have to wait too long for that though, his appt is first thing.
Oo I'm getting excited about the weekend, it's a long weekend here this week... I'm working Sat, but going to a huge party with Wade Sat night (his friends, I won't know anyone... but shoud be fun! Lol) And Sunday one of my girlfriends might be coming up to stay the night. Yay excitement!! Might go shopping... and hit the casino... hehe!!

TOM arrived today... Weird because now I feel normal again already. Haven't had any cravings or anything... Guess last week was attack of the hormones just early? I honestly don't know... I'm blaming my huge gain on it anyway, makes me feel better lol!

Decided I want to be at or passed my halfway mark in 3 weeks from Monday! Can be a mini goal. So let's see... Mon is 7th June, so I want to be 65kg or less by the 28th. Should give me plenty of time, depending on how much I weigh on Monday of course... I might even change it to 2 weeks, we shall see! Determined to get back on a roll! Training tonight should well n truly kick my motivation back up. I've really missed it this week!
 
Hmm, sorry about TOM. Not usually a fun time for anyone.
Personally, I always get the cravings and hormonal stuff the week before...I always wondered if I was the only one that ever happened to. xD

Good luck with getting to the halfway mark!! That's such a huge step. I think you can absolutely make it in three weeks!
