Lucy's Diary

Yes this IS the 3rd entry of the day (sick of me yet?) Ended up eating the rest of my calories in WW icecream and brownies... kept to my cals, and I'm going out tonight to shake it off on the dancefloor anyway :D Got bored and made a food plan for the next 4 days too, going to have to eat healthy tomorrow now anyway as have my training sesh back to 6am Monday normal time. I'm excited too- the trainer asked if I was interested in getting more training after the challenge is over- to which I replied HELLS YEA- and he said other people from the group are keen also so the Thurs night group sessions might be continuing!!! YAY!!! Keeps things exciting though, cuz I have 3 sessions a week... 1 1hr session with the group, 1 30min session with a partner, and then a 30min session on my own. So YEA!!!! I clearly have no life though, my gym sessions have become the highlight of my week :smilielol5: Those and my new dance classes of course!! Excitement!!!

Oh and trainer said I was looking a lot slimmer through my abs :D Just what a girl wants to hear!
 
Yes it *IS* 6am on a Sunday morning... AND I have the day off... AND I didn't get to bed till after midnight last night!!! Damn you body clock and your annoying ways!! BOO!!
Had 2 glasses of dry sparkling white wine last night while out, looked it up and they are anywhere between 9cals and 150cals max... which is good, danced for 2 hrs so was under budget by 290cals at the end of the day so think that made up for it!! So another 1000cal deficit... now come the 4 healthy days!!

Breakfast: Tuna quesadilla
Snack: Wholemeal banana bread
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato and 1 cup spinach
Snack: Serve of wholewheat crackers with low fat cottage cheese, 1 kiwifruit
Dinner: Homemade pizza on soft rye wrap with cheese, 97% ff deli ham, spinach, tomato

Exercise: 30min jogging, 40min yoga

AND took some measurements... but can't find the bloody book I wrote my goal and starting measurements in!! SO going to hunt for them on my thread then will post again!
 
START -------------- 14/3 ------------ 18/4 ------------ GOAL

Bust- 97cm ---------- 95.5cm --------- 94cm ----------- 90cm
Waist- 77cm --------- 75.5cm --------- 74cm ----------- 70cm
Abs- 92cm ----------- 91cm ----------- 91cm ----------- 85cm
Hips- 97cm ----------- 95.5cm --------- 94cm ----------- 90cm
Thighs- 61cm -------- 60cm ----------- 59cm ----------- 56cm
Arms- 30cm ---------- 29cm ----------- 29cm -

(Thighs and arms are measured on my right leg at the fullest part)
I was actually incredibly surprised by my current measurements- it shows how much less body fat I must have now than before... when I was at my lighest- between 60-62kg- I know that my bust was 94cms THEN... Granted my waist and hips were 90cm. It's coming off a lot more evenly this time round :D Looks like I'm going to kick all my measuremen goals WAY before my weight goal!! How exciting!!

Good Morning all!!!! And BOO- it's Monday once again. My weekend was fantabulous- miss having two days off in a row. Yesterday ended super healthy, was a very good girl. So 3 more healthy days to go! 67kg here I come!!

Pre-gym snack: 1 serve wholewheat crackers, low fat cottage cheese, protein shake with skim milk
Breakfast: Tuna quesadilla
Snack: banana, Prune and zucchini loaf
Lunch: Sandwich with cheese and tomato (my spinach went slimey- ewww!)
Snack: 1 kiwifruit, 1 serve sesame and roast onion crackers
Dinner: Soft rye wrap with 1 egg, 97% ff deli ham, tomato, spinach

Exercise is 30min gym session and 1hr walk. Gym was sooo hard and heavy this morning, all weights. Learned the WORST ab exercise at the end of it too!! It's called jerk crunches- you lie on your back with hands behind your head and go 1 elbow to knee, then other elbow to knee, then both elbows to knees, then bring one leg up and touch toes, then other leg touch toes, then both and touch toes... and that's 1. I had to do 10 AFTER already doing fitball crunches. Actually did a heap of new moves today, did stiff legged deadlifts which were interesting. Ugh and lunges with 10kg weights in each hand- bleh!!
 
Ended today a bit naughty... a few ww puddings and chips were involved... also maybe a bit of icecream!!!! So no deficit today but I didn't go over. Still... GRRR!!! :banghead:
 
Blah. Last night was a complete write off- came in at like exactly 4000 calories which is 1000 ABOVE maintenance. BOO!!! After doing so well too. If I'm completely healthy for the next two days though I can still be 4000 cals down which is around half a kg loss which I will be happy with... it'll still get me over the quarter way mark! I feel like a big fat slug this morning though. :puke: I have exercise planned that I can't get out of though so it's not going to be a lazy one! I did actually manage to score today off though- I just gave Wade a doe-eyed look and mentioned I hadn't had a day off with hubby for well over 2 weeks... and we have a new girl now. So :hurray:

Breakfast: Wholemeal grain toast with 2 eggs, scrambled, with skim milk and butter, 2 extra lean beef sausages (having a big cooked brekki with hubby!)
Snack: Wholemeal banana bread
Lunch: Soft rye wrap with cheese, 97% ff ham, tomato, spinach
Snack: Homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Prawn curry with basmati rice

Exercise- 1hr 45min walk (dragging hubby round the river again lucky boy) 2.5hrs dancing
Going shopping today too... desperately need new bras, it's getting a bit beyond a joke. Also wearing through my gym shoes now after hammering them a lot harder than usual for the past 3 months. Also might just need new clothes :D Getting my hair done on Thurs morning too with the money I won at the casino on the weekend!!! :hurray:
 
Well today turned out COMPLETELY different than planned foodwise, but that's ok! Had my brekki and banana bread, then went shopping... for HOURS... bought so many clothes and spent so much money... AND... Mostly in size 10 (think that's American size 6-8?) And smalls :D Got a new bra too, dropped an entire size! Then went to Nandos after and got a chicken pita and regular spicy rice. Still have a fair few calories left though so maybe around normal dinner time I'll have crackers and cottage cheese and a protein shake with skim milk. Our walk around the river was awesome, the weather was perfect and the city looked really cool with all the fog and the moving clouds :D Went really fast!

Also super excited about dancing tonight, YAY!!!!!!!!!
 
Ended with the correct amount of calories yesterday, but instead of eating those last few healthy things I had a couple of brownies and some crackers! :smash: I could really feel myself going into snack mode after that too so I grabbed my poor dear husband and said we were going for another walk (me= :reddevil:) :sifone: Stepped out for 20mins and the feeling passed. Wade came around by then and we went out dancing! *SO* much fun again. The moves looked a lot simpler this time but were so much harder... luckily I'm used to looking like a bit of a tool on a regular basis so it didn't bother me!
Don't know how the weight loss will be this week, I know I should weigh less but I've been snacking on unhealthy stuff all week... the whole week felt completely out of whack!! As of tomorrow there's only 2 weeks left in the gym challenge and I want to be insanely good for those- to show a good loss on the scale, for one... but more importantly I want to be able to kick everyones ass at the endurance challenge!!! Which means I'll have to run around about 2.5kms in 10 mins. I did a little over 2kms the last test, but I had done 3 mins really hard then had to stop and start again after my shoelace came undone. So I KNOW I could've gone further but was a bit tired with that extra 3mins. Plus if I weigh a little less I know I can run faster!

Todays plan:
Breakfast- 2 slices wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 97%ff deli ham, 1 cup spinach
Snack- Banana, wholemeal homemade brownie
Lunch- Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, 1 cup spinach
Snack- 1 kiwifruit, homemade blueberry muffin, protein shake with skim milk
Dinner- Tuna quesadilla

Exercise today is 1hr walk and a 30min jog. Going to push myself REALLY hard at my jog- want to make it to 5kms!!!
 
LUZ! I have to catch up on my reading in your diary since I was away! I'll be posting here tomorrow :D Have a great morning!
 
Great Job today!!! Nice work on getting all that moving in!! Your food looks fantastic. And I'm sure if you are pushing hard for your speed for the race....you are going to do way better than you thought!.... it sounds like you are motivated and inspired by the challenge, so I know you'll GET THIS!!!...Pushhhhhhhh for it!!! Wooohooooooooooooooooo!!!! Can't wait to hear you WHIP SOME ASS!!!
 
I was soooooooo tired this afternoon from coming home late last night after dancing and getting up early this morning... so cut out the protein shake and didn't go jogging. Still had my 1000 cal deficit today... so we'll see what the scales say tomorrow!! Having a lazy tv night tonight I think... also have tomorrow off and I'm getting my hair done, yay!!!
 
Grrrrr!!! Stepped on the scales to 68.1kg today!! Not happy! I'm guessing it's just water but GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Will weigh in again on Saturday.

I actually DID have a good food plan set up for today... but was so angry with the scales that breakfast ended up being my last two WW choc steamed puddings and 2 ww choc cheesecakes lol. O dear!! So adjusted it...

Breakfast: 2 ww choc steamed puddings and 2 ww choc cheesecakes :reddevil:
Snack: Wholemeal banana bread
Lunch: Wholemeal grain toast with 2 eggs and 2 extra lean beef sausages
Snack: Homemade blueberry muffin, 1/4 rockmelon
Dinner: Wholewheat crackers with cottage cheese

Exercise is 1hr walking and 1hr gym sesh tonight.
It's not SUCH a bad thing that I had a huge breakfast- getting my hair done which usually takes well over 2-3hrs (I have a ridiculous amount of hair) So by the time I have morning tea it'll be almost midday, so thought I'd have a bigger afternoon meal and have dinner as a snack. Not really any veg in there today but don't really have any in the house right now- need to do a shop!!

Super determined to have a 1000 calorie deficit every day this week- I haven't yet successfully made it all the way through 7 consecutive days but that's SO my goal this week!
 
Luz...how many cals do the ww choc chzcakes have? *drools*

Scale disappointment does the same thing to me...I think I might go back to weighing once a month lol!
 
Hey Xe- the ww choc cheesecakes are 174 cals each :) Man I've jus been so bad today- ate all my cals by 12pm!! Was *STARVING* after leaving the hairdresser, got home and ate my banana bread, 2 brownies, a serve of salt n vinegar DeLites, then had a soft rye wrap with 2 lean beef sausages and an egg... so NO veges, fruit, ANYTHING! Eeee sooo bad. Needless to say I feel completely bloated and rank now, grrrr. I really do frustrate myself! So just going to keep my water intake up and not eat anything else- really don't want to feel bloated and miserable at the gym!!! *BIG FAT SIGH*
 
OK so ended really REALLY bad today, ate 3487cals and after gym will have only burned around 2900. NOT helping the random gain this week... HOWEVER, I just realised the date and I'm due for TOM tomorrow- just completely slipped my mind as I've had no boob soreness this month which is pretty weird for me... So that would explain the gain today and the absolute *NEED* to eat all the carbs in the house. I managed to stop myself when I started to reach for the plain pieces of bread and ask myself what the FUCK am I doing- picked up what was left of the crackers I had portioned in bags and threw them in the bin in disgust. Just so I wouldn't eat them. SO I'm making a promise to myself- unless it's Sunday (my free for all food day which I'm still sposed to stick to my cals on) there are NO unhealthy or convenient snacks ANYWHERE in the house!!! I'm happy with my muffins thankyou very much. Lol. Boo to me, today was an EPIC fail. Going to try much harder the rest of the week- I can still make a 5500 cal deficit which will DEFINITELY take me to the 1/4 way mark. I'm not even going to bother weighing in again in a few days cuz I'll have my period... so will patiently await next Thurs.
 
NEW GOAL: To be 67.5kg or LESS by next Thursday!!! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid 1/4 way mark has taunted me for TOO LONG!
 
Morning all!! Gym was really good last night, apart from the 20mins of spinning we finished with (vomit- I HATE bikes and my poor bum still hurts from the seat!)
Also after tying up my hair I realised that I pretty much have no hair left!!!! I *HATE* it how a hairdresser interprets your saying you want to keep the length. How can it possibly mean anything other than- you want to leave with the same length hair you walked in with? :cuss: Everyone liked the colour anyway, hooray for being blonde again!

So today is Friday... I am going to weigh in again in 6 days... so I'm going to count down every day I get perfect calorie wise. I know I can do this, I did it week before last. Really want a loss this week, HOPEFULLY one that will actually take me way below 67.5kg but that's what I'll aim for. Got an email confirming my skincare- which is the reward for getting there- has finally been posted... so really want to be able to open it!!

Here's todays plan:
Breakfast: Soft rye wrap with 2 extra lean beef sausages, 1 egg, tomato
Snack: Banana, homemade prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: 1/4 rockmelon, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Ginger and garlic stir fry with chicken, basmati rice and mixed veg.

Exercise is 1hr walk and 40min yoga (going to FINALLY do that dvd! No excuses now I have a yoga mat!)

Have an awesome and productive day!!!!
 
Way to get right back on board! I love spinning! After a couple classes your bum will feel much better and everything else will feel better too! When I was spinning 2 times a week for an hour I noticed my core was a lot tighter and stronger and I wish I was still keeping it up.
have a great weekend! I totally know you can do it!! Keep it up!
 
Yesterday was EPIC fail. Had a headache all afternoon while at work, everyone was annoying me (seriously- all the crazy customers we get during the week came in on the same day!) I felt so BLAH. Ate *SO* much junk food!! Like you wouldn't believe... added it all up on fitday after and felt like the hugest idiot in the whole world. It added up to 5000 calories!!!! Just to shame myself a little I think I'll list everything I ate... The everything I planned for the day I ate, apart from dinner...I grabbed a cheese and spinach sausage roll after work then I got home, ate a 500g tub of cookies and cream icecream, an entire 175g (family bag) of chips, 3 subway cookies, a brownie, and a piece of cake........ :banghead: I did all this while watching the first season of Sex in the City and feeling sorry for myself, then I got my period lol. So at least I was right about that. Oh dear... Just to reassure myself I haven't done too much damage, I can still roughly have a 2000 cal deficit for the week... not to mention when I weighed in I would have already been retaining fluid... so I might possibly be able to get to 67.5kg still, or at least back to what I was last week. Boo to me, I hate it how hormones make everything fly out the window! Damn me and my lack of self control. Oh I got a lift home too so yesterday all I did was walk for 30mins.

Todays plan:
Breakfast: Wholemeal grain toast with 2 eggs, 97%ff ham, 1 cup spinach
Snack: Banana, prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Homemade blueberry muffin, apple
Pre-gym snack: Protein shake with skim milk
Dinner: Nandos classic chicken burger on wholemeal

Exercise is a 1hr walk and 30mins training sesh.

So starting today feeling insanely :puke: Have to say I so totally love my husband... He always asks me how I do with food/exercise during the day, and last night I was like OMG... I ate soooooo badly... then he asked me to tell him everything I ate, told me off, and said we are both eating totally healthy for the rest of the week :gnorsi: Hehe aww and he didn't even get to see the junk food cuz I ate it all! Oh then he gave me lots of cuddles and told me I'd been working so hard that it wouldn't put me back too far and to keep going. It's just like having one of you guys there in my ear :D
 
We go thru so much of the same things it's crazy lolol and the naughty things you eat sound like things I would do on my bad days lol I had a wicked headache also yesterday and felt like I was going to fizzle out into thin air.

Your hubby sounds like a champ! I am so happy you have someone near you to support you. My husband is trying to "help" me as he says but TOM really has me so emo and i keep getting upset with him :"> I told him not to "help" me lolol...it annoys me! Lack of sleep was getting to all of us.

As always your food plan sounds delish! Looking forward to hearing about how your exercise went and I hope you have a good day! *hugz*
