Been super healthy again today, ate completely to plan. Went to the gym and did 30mins jogging and 20mins bike, then stretched for 5mins. O GOD I remembered why I was slacking on my cardio... it's so BORING!!! And of course my ipod was absolutely nowhere to be found lol. Grrrrr... Oh well, I've done everything I could the past few days to get a good result tomorrow, so fingers crossed the weight loss fairies smile on me for my weigh in tomorrow morning. Goodnight world!

I'm considering changing weigh in day to Mon instead as of next week then, only because we are still going to get weighed in every month. Maybe it'll inspire me to behave on Sundays
I changed my weigh-in days to Monday for a few weeks last year and realized it didn't really work. I am not very strong-willed during weekends (no matter how much I tell myself I am going to have a healthy weekend I slip- few chips here, a couple of glasses of wine there), and I realized it wasn't working out for me. I would tell myself every friday that I would behave over the weekend and fail miserably. So I changed my weigh-in days to the middle of the week (wed), because I always pulled myself together from Monday onwards and all the damage I had done over the weekend would have kind of been worked off by Wed. It may be different for you, though. Would love to know how it goes. Good luck!!
If I haven't said it already, may I take this opportunity to say your muffins and breads sound really really really yummy.
Happy hump day!

mmmm all your baking is making me hungry! Not sure what on earth a prune and zucchini muffin tastes like! Sure does sound healthy though!
Cardio can get boring - got to have music or be infront of a tv screen or chatting if you are in the gym - then it speeds by rather than drags on.

I know, I don't really have much of a choice though... my group weigh ins are changing to Monday with my gym class and I like weighing myself the same day so I'm prepared for any nasty surprises lol.
Jjjay-
The recipe is actually for a loaf but it's too hard to cut so made it into muffins... they are SOOO nice!! I've actually posted the recipe in my diary somewhere a few pages back. I think a few people think ew, prune and zucchini... but it tastes so much like cake it's dangerous!!
Yea going to rip the house apart tonight to look for my Ipod.
Mmm well weighed in this morning, 68.2kg. Boo! I think I might finally update my ticker. I guess that's what I get for being bad on Sunday. Oh well weigh in day changes to Monday this week, maybe there'll be a change then lol.
Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast with 2 eggs, 3 chicken chipolatas
Snack: Banana, wholemeal banana bread
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, and 1 cup spinach
Snack: Apple, wholemeal blueberry muffin
Dinner: Homemade pizza on a soft rye wrap with tomato paste, mushrooms, capsicum, anchovies, light pizza cheese
Snack: Protein shake with water
Exercise
1hr walk, 1hr gym session with trainer

I can't believe I fogot to post this in this mornings post- it's officially the last day of the 12 week gym challenge today! So going to be trying my absolute HARDEST tonight to run 2.5kms in 10mins. I have no idea if I can or not lol... But I'll just have to keep thinking about the prize I could possibly win at the end of it!! I want that gift card dammit! I at least want to beat the trainers distance, he never does cardio and he got 2.46kms. Eeeee I'm going to be thinking about it all day! As long as I stick with my food plan and don't drink too much water beforehand... And lace my laces properly this time so I won't have to start again... Oh in case you were wondering my last distance in 10mins was 2.018kms. Again... Eeeeeeeeeeee!
Blah. So today was pretty shitty... ate exactly to plan food-wise, so no probs there. I just kept smacking my hips on things, got some mega bruises on my shins, then smashed my thumb in the salad fridge door and now have a black thumbnail... then walked home in a REALLY thick, horrible smoke that covered the entire city. So got home feeling crap and kinda sick... to come home to my poor hubby who was REALLY sick- headache-y, sweaty, swollen eyes... so tried to be energetic when I got to the gym, but couldn't get geared up properly. I disappointed myself with the endurance challenge, beat my last time but only by a little bit... I ran 2.121kms in 10mins and felt like I was going to vomit my lungs up at the end- pretty sure that was from the smoke. I don't know, don't want to make excuses for myself but was just having an off day. Got a lot on my mind too- Wade has been offered a really amazing job opportunity in a town ages and ages away... I'm talking 5hrs drive away. I'm being really supportive of him, he's going up there for a few days next week for an interview... but at the same time, I just don't know what I'll do without him. He's kind of the only thing keeping me sane a lot of the time since my husband is always working and doesn't really like doing the same things as me.
Anyway... I did try my hardest, and think that I did the best that I could have done today.
Anyway... I did try my hardest, and think that I did the best that I could have done today.
Good morning fellow losers. Today is a new day (and outside is NOT completely covered in smoke) I plan to keep trucking, even after yesterdays small disappointments... The weight will come off eventually (if I behave) and I'll be able to run further in the next endurance test (seeing as the class is now continuing on and all)
Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 4 extra lean beef chipolatas (these were interesting... kind of tasted like homemade burger with all the carrot and onion in them. 4 is only 185cals and they are FILLING!)
Snack: Banana, prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with cheese, tomato, 1 cup spinach
Snack: Apple, wholemeal banana bread
Dinner: Soft rye wrap with 97%ff deli ham, tomato, spinach
Exercise
1hr walk
Woohoo and today is FRIDAY.... and I have the weekend off!!!!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

So it wasn't just yesterday I was feeling blah... went to work and went home again a few hours later cuz my stomach was churning. Didn't vomit but felt like I was going to all day, dry reached a few times... So had a day at home on the couch. Stuck to my food all day, still got my walk in cuz had to go to work and back. Feeling a lot better now but still not 100%. Hopefully will be fine after a good sleep tonight!

What's wrong Luz? Do you think it is a stomach virus? Just make sure you are getting plenty of fluids; juice, broth, popsicles, etc 
About baking, maybe you should try it on some people you know and see how they receive it. I think you just need to find your niche and you can open a bakery, there are so many people on the health craze and I think you will do awesome. Especially when they see the ingredients! Well I know you never said you were going to open a bakery, but I'm just dreaming for you My mom makes awesome banana bread/cake and everyone she lets try it asks her for more at a later time, so she is thinking of selling them too.

Hey Xe, was definitely a stomach bug! I'm fine today, but I know a heap of other people have it now. It's going around the city!
My parents and brother love my baking cuz they are into healthy food- even though it doesn't necessarily taste 'healthy' (that's the idea!) One of the girls I work with always asks for my recipes cuz she loves them as well. Which is cool cuz she's not interested in health at all lol. Wade wants to open a cafe one day, maybe I can make it a healthy cafe
Wasn't very good last night, in my defense I won't be having a 'naughty' day on Sunday cuz Ash is working n stuff so we had our junk food day yesterday. I had 5 tim tams and a heap of icecream

Oops... my walk ended up being a bit expensive as I found myself at the other shopping center and picked up a few things I wanted but really didn't need.
Hm so gym this arvo, might bake some more banana bread as I've got some bananas that are a bit passed being edible... and think I might be going out tonight with Wade! I guess I will see. Have a great weekend everyone!!
Yesterday was an awesomely healthy day, hoorah!! Stuck 100% to plan, was active all day. Gym was a lot of fun- it was just me and the trainer, I didn't have a partner. It meant I go to do more boxing though, yay! It was another really hard session... lots of heavily weighted leg exercises.
Didn't end up going out, Ash wasn't feeling great so I thought I'd be the good little wifey and stay home to look after him. So had a quiet night!
No plans as yet for today either, thinking of having a slightly lazier one (apart from my planned exercise) Might catch up on some dvds I haven't watched yet! Yay for weekends off!
Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast with 2 eggs and 4 extra lean beef chipolatas

To be honest I wasn't actually planning on going to the gym until much much later in the day... but after going through the Before and After section (my weekend guilty pleasure) I got off my ass and went straight to the gym. Rocked it out to Beyonce 30mins on the treadmill, 30mins on the bike, and 10mins of stretching. I love my ipod!! Plus, 7am on a Sunday morning... I had the entire gym to myself!!

Just thought I'd say how super happy I am with myself today... did all my exercise, ate completely healthy and to plan... hurrah!! Weighing in again tomorrow morning as my weigh day will now be Monday. I want to be 67 point ANYTHING. OVER being stuck in 68!!! I want to get out of there and never see it again!!
Goal this week: To stick to my calories perfectly!! Really want to see a big loss after being stuck here for so long!

Looks like another lonely day on the forum...!
Just dropped in again to look around... I've been perfect again today, exactly to plan! Hubby is out getting dinner, then I have the gym in a couple of hours. I have big expectations of myself this week!!
On a less excitable note... I have the sniffles. Really hope it's not going to turn into a cold...!! Going to start dosing up on olive leaf I think (bleh). Also Wade is gone for the next 3 days, he has that job interview in that town way north of here. Ahhh I do not know what I will do with myself if he gets up there and loves it and takes the job... I will be happy and supportive of course, but it's so far away!!!

Great job Luz!!! You should be very proud of yourself for eating great and sticking to the exercise. I'm sure your "cheat" day won't cause too much damage, 500 calories is only 1/7 of a pound you know.
Glad you are feeling better from the bug, but sorry you have the sniffles. I get that sometimes, it seems like it's easier to catch a cold if you are already a little under from just getting over something else. Hope it doesn't hit you too hard and you recover quickly!
I should have you send me some recipes, I love to bake but I don't now because I don't want a lot of bad stuff in the house.

Good morning all!!
Thanks for dropping by Sunflower- from what I saw of your diary I thought you were doing well!!
Mizzie- hehe I think it's funny that you don't bake so there's nothing bad in the house... I bake FOR that reason!! I like having healthy snacks in the house. I never bake with sugar or white flour, I use heaps of bran and fruit so it's all filling and high fiber. I have a couple of recipes on the very first page of my diary and I've added a couple more through it... I'm going to post my new banana bread recipe, I think I've tweaked it to where I want it to be! It's SOOO yummy!!
Not feeling particularly great today... my 'cold' hasn't taken off yet, I actually felt normal this morning apart from my swollen glands. Made sure to take some olive leaf before my brekki (and I can still taste it... vomit)
Gym last night was loads of fun, played games and stuff (um, very painful games but fun anyway) Have to fill out another food diary for the trainer again this week, so there's all the more reason for it to be a healthy one!! I'm not having my normal cheat day this week anyway... visiting my mum for her birthday on Saturday and we're all going out for Chinese for dinner. So that'll be my cheat meal (I always get the same thing... chilli king prawns with veg and extra chilli!! No rice/noodles or anything)
Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal toast, 2 eggs, 3 chicken chipolatas
Snack: Banana, wholemeal banana bread
Lunch: Wholemeal sandwich with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Apple, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Soft rye wrap with 97% ff ham, tomato, spinach (having a lazy dinner... today is going to be mega stressful and I think I'll be sicker by dinnertime!)
Exercise
1hr walk
I've decided to take Tues and Fri off from the gym every week. When Wade is here I'll still be dancing on Tues nights, then Wed and Sun I'm having as gym cardio days.

warning: rant and bitch sesh
Ahhhhh having the most stressful day ever! Got to work and the owner had opened cuz Wade isn't here for the next few days... Nothing had been done and the kitchen lady hadn't rocked up. She called in sick yesterday but told us she would definitely be in today... But no, not even a phone call!! The owner gave me a big list of stuff to make and told me I was doing kitchen today... Which I have never done before, and nothing was prepped because she was sick yesterday. Not to mention I start 2 hours later than her. So I had a manic race around to make everything- yes I do have a cold and a bloody huge headache on top- made a huge mess but managed to just get our catering orders done like 10mins before they were to be delivered. Then had to raced down and help cuz they were overrun down here. Finally got my break and some food... Blah I was just so all over the place cuz I'm so out of it today already. She had BETTER bloody show up tomorrow or I will probably have a meltdown! Got more catering orders to fill as well... We get catering like once a fortnight but today we had two orders and have another order tomorrow grrr. Just trying to tell myself I got through it...
Funny, to calm down I have the hugest urge to go for a run listening to very angry headbanging music. It's my gym day off but I might just do it if I still feel like this. At least my nose unblocks for a while while I'm exercising!!!
Ok rant over, just having a bad day.

Got home... in the foetal position sucking my thumb...
No not really. Just a bit snotty and a bit grumpy... and very much not looking forward to tomorrow!! I hate my job... going to start looking again for a new one right now in fact!
Stuck to my plan, so another perfect day... yay! Going to go around and check out everyone elses journals now since I ran out of time this morning.
