Have decided that today I will just stick to what I wrote, won't try and get into the gym today... going to up my water intake and drink 3 bottles instead of 2 (so 4.5litres instead of my usual 3) AND then I have tomorrow off work so tomorrow will up my calorie intake like normal and do a heap of exercise- going to to the trainers workout first thing tomorrow morning but with a 30min jog beforehand as a warm up... then I'm going to completely scrub the house down (yay lol) and go for a walk in the arvo! Hopefully I'll be feeling normal again by then!!

O. Dear. God. Having the worst day EVER. I have the WORST menstrual cramps, plus a headache, and I feel sick from all the food I ate yesterday. Completely flat out at work, the city was trashed after the storm last night. Half of the suburb I work in doesn't have power, so the two closest shopping centers to this one are closed (one from storm damage one without power) so our shopping center is completely insane! The pub I went to on the weekend no longer exists, it was flooded and the floor bowed and broke into the basement! Hubby didn't get home til very late last night either, the store he works at was flooding and part of the shopping center collapsed- a whole floor actually- the fourth floor became the third. The roof caved in too! Fun fun!
But yea bleh feel like crap and can't go home sick cuz there is no staff to cover me leaving!!! Grrrr angry!

Bought a few little things to cheer myself up now I've knocked off work 
REALLY didn't want to get into the leftover junk food- would just throw it out but hubby has claimed it grrr. Got myself a couple of pretty magazines and a couple of scratchies, and I'm going to have a lazy one! SOOO glad I have tomorrow off!!

SOOO glad I have tomorrow off!!I CAN do this, I know I can, and I want this too... which is why it's so frustrating when I fuck it up for myself!! After Ash got home last night we both got into the junk food... at least it's gone now. I don't even care what I'm going to weigh in at tomorrow- just got to get back into it right now!!!

woo so just about to go to sleep... I stuck completely to the above plan, plus I spent about 2 hours scrubbing every available surface in my unit lol... So a very productive day today!

Thur- Exercise 1hr walk, 1 hr gym. Calories 2081
Fri- Exercise 1hr walk. Calories 1793
Sat- Exercise 1hr walk, 30mins gym. Calories 1953
Sun- Exercise 1hr walk, 30mins jogging. Calories 1954

I'm optimistic!!!BOOO I'm back to 70kg again!!! I mean I know a lot of it is fluid, but it's so disheartening!! Hopefully it'll discourage me from doing it again anytime soon. Going to PUSH myself this week, I'd like to at LEAST be back to 69kg by next week! Aww and I have to face my gym group tonight... 
Here is what I plan to eat today:
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 97%ff shaved deli ham, small handful spinach, 2 eggs
Snack: Banana, homemade fruity oat slice
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with 2 slices cheese, tomato, 1 cup salad greens
Snack: 2 plums (maybe, if I can find nice ones!) homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Lean veal stir fry with mixed veg and basmati rice
Pre-gym snack: 4 vita weats, l/f cottage cheese, protein shake with skim milk
The goal was 2081 calories for today and that adds up to 2019 so pretty good I think!
Exercise is 1hr walk and 1hr gym session.
I don't know if I've put this in my diary or not (and really can't be bothered looking back lol) but I've been wanting to study fitness for quite a while now, I actually got into a course for the first semester of this year and then my cat decided to hurt herself and all our bills came at once... so didn't happen. I have decided to apply again for the second semester this year It means we will have to cut our holiday down to 2 weeks and go over during the holidays but I'm ok with that, plus it means I don't have to feel so bad about my crappy job. There's not much out there in the way of work right now so I'd feel better studying at the same time! Let's just hope the fact I got a position and didn't enrol won't affect me trying again!! Hopefully it'll inspire me to get really fit before then too lol. I've decided to set several goals for me to achieve by mid-July...
Weight- would like to be 62kgs (or less!)
Fitness- would like to be able to run 6kms in 30mins again
Money- would like to have our 2 big credit cards paid off (left over owing from our wedding grr... someone is interested in buying my car though so that might happen straight away!!) and our flights paid for for our holiday
Career- Not too concerned about my job, as long as I get into Tafe!! And if I don't, I'd like to have a new job I guess!!
I don't really think there's much else weighing on my mind, I'll be having a week off at the end of June cuz that's when Wade goes into surgery and he's staying with us (he lives by himself) so we'll be taking care of him. OOOOO and sooo excited, he's thinking of buying one of the units in our building which would be SOOOO amazing! Poor hubby would never see me lol.
Sorry about the big long post!!! I feel better now lol. Hm I might need to think of a few more rewards for myself for achieving those other goals...

I have the gym in an hour- been SOOOO tempted to msg my trainer and say I'm not going... but that would be too easy wouldn't it!! I was a bit bad today AGAIN, had chocolate at work and then skipped dinner and had a sausage roll and some icecream. BAD! So I feel really bloaty and rank, plus everyone has been saying how good I've been looking each week and now I'm back to my start weight again!!!! Ugh I guess I'm ashamed of myself? This really sucks I don't know what made me fall off the wagon so badly. Hopefully this will shock me back into it!

Good for you! That's the worst, isn't it? Making yourself exercise when you don't want to. But it feels so go when you do, you should be very proud of yourself for sticking to that.
Also, you probably already know this but, if you think you are retaining fluid: Water, water, water! Even if you already drink a lot, up it for a few days. That'll help flush the extra fluid out.

Thanks guys I'm actually thinking of having another training session every Monday to keep me more in line... might talk to my trainer about it on Saturday. I feel a lot better today, whatever was going on I'm over it!! At least I still stuck to my exercise while I was eating crap, it could've been a lot worse.
Here's todays plan:
Breakfast: Soft rye wrap with cheese, egg, tomato, and 1 cup mixed salad greens
Snack: Banana, homemade fruity oat bar
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with 97% FF deli ham, tomato, and 1 cup mixed salad greens
Snack: 2 kiwifruit, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: 1/2 a chicken breast slow cooked in diced tomatoes with cheese and stir fried mixed veges
Total calories 1799- goal was 1793 so pretty good!!
Exercise today is 1hr walking.

OMG this was ME on Tuesday
Good goals you set for yourself there. I read your rewards too for weight loss and I think it is good how you paced them
It took me a bit to post my rewards and goals because I couldn't think of anything really lolol.Oyy the weight gain!
But you are really working hard so it could be muscle + water...I refuse to believe it is fat.
happy you went to the gym although you weren't feeling it! I wish I did the same today lol

Yea I'm thinking of sneakily weighing myself on sat or sun when TOM has gone away lol. I hate it looking like I've gotten nowhere! I'm getting pretty damn muscly though- have to post a pic of my biceps sometime cuz they are getting seriously impressive! Lol
*doing the happy dance* HOORAY for me, because I got through yesterday without junk food!!! YAYAYAY!!!! Going to weigh myself tomorrow too, so stay tuned for that...!! I reckon I'm AT LEAST where I was before, but I woke up today feeling so light and so much better so here's hoping I'm a lil bit less lol. Had to adjust todays plan slightly, all the exercise is as planned but now I'm going out tonight too so added in an extra snack to bump up the calories (I'm a dancefloor hog lol)
Breakfast: 2 pieces of wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 2 pieces cheese, 1 cup spinach
Snack: Banana, homemade fruity oat bar
Lunch: Sandwich on wholemeal grain with 97%ff shaved deli ham, tomato, 1 cup salad greens
Snack: 2 plums, homemade blueberry muffin
Post-gym snack: Protein shake with skim milk
Dinner: Stir fry with 100g chicken breast, 1/2 a serve of bean thread noodles, serve of stir fry veg, 1 tbsp soy sauce
Pre-going out snack: 4 vita weats with L/F cottage cheese
Wow that looks like a lot of food to get through today lol, and yet still only adds up to 2069 cals. Exercise is 1hr walk, 30mins gym training sesh, and then psychotic dancing for 2-5hrs+++ so will probably also be drinking my weight in water!!
Yay can't wait to weigh in tomorrow!!!! Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!!!!

80s and 90s mostly, and anything by Lady Gaga lol. I go out with Wade to a 'gay friendly' club (meaning that not everyone is gay, but most are lol) and there's two dancefloors- the outdoor one plays heaps of trance and mixed songs, but we normally stick to the indoor dancefloor... it's mostly 90s stuff, heaps of Michael Jackson etc soooo much fun to dance to! I don't really listen to a heap of modern stuff, just cuz I don't listen to the radio and don't watch music on tv... so I only really know what I hear out clubbing. But yea for some reason Lady Gaga just gets me going every time- really should get it on my Ipod I'd be a machine working out to it haha!!
Had another super healthy day It's not over yet but doing really well!! Eating my plums, mmmmmm....

It's not over yet but doing really well!! Eating my plums, mmmmmm....O.M.G. Just had the hardest training session ever!!!!! Did 11kg leg presses, sets of 30 lunges with 12.5kg weights in each hand, a crazy amount of push ups and step ups (on a step higher than my knees) OUCH pain. And then after I booked a one-on-one session for Monday morning lol. I'm a sucker for punishment I guess!
Don't know if I'm going out anymore, looks like it's going to rain!! Noooooooooooo!!! Well if I don't I just won't have that last snack and I'm balanced for the day. Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow!! Will hopefully have good news

Guess what everyone.....................? Stepped on the scales this morning.... 68.8kg!! Checked it 3 times to be sure YAY!!!! It's still 4 days from my official weigh in day too so hopefully I can lose another half a kilo by then. I'm so pumped!!!! TOM = 
I've decided that today is going to be a pretty lazy day, I'll do my planned exercise but going to just be sitting around all day cuz that's what I feel like doing!! I SOOOO thought I was getting a cold last night, my nose was so blocked and runny and I was freaking out... REALLY don't want to get sick! Have to go to the supermarket today anyway to get some stuff to make more muffins, might pick up some olive leaf extract. I swear by that stuff hey, I got the worst cold EVER 3 days before my wedding, I took that like 5x a day and didn't even have a sniffle for my wedding (apart from the emotional one lol)
Here's todays planned food:
Breakfast: 2x wholemeal grain toast with peanut butter (no added salt or sugar)
Snack: Banana, fruity oat bar
Lunch: Soft rye wrap with 1 egg, 2 slices cheese, tomato, 1 cup salad greens
Snack: 1.5cups of fresh pineapple, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Leftover stir fry from last night (which was soooo yummy, added a heap of chilli and garlic to the soy sauce. MMMMMMMMM)
Exercise is a 1hr walk, and 30min jog on the treadmill at the gym. REALLY want to break past 4.5kms in 30mins, I don't know if I'll be able to today though my legs are soooo weak from yesterday haha!!!! Evil trainer. But he's making me thinner so it's very much a love/hate relationship.
I'm SOOO updating my ticker right now
