Lucy's Diary

Stuck to my calories today, but not completely to plan. Had SUPER sugar cravings, like *SO* bad... was sooo worried I might binge, so thought I'd just indulge the craving... had a few ww sundaes and choc steamed puddings. Ended with my 1000 calorie deficit so I'm happy with that, plus after the gym all my cravings disappeared :) Really want to have a 1000 deficit for the rest of the gym challenge, so 1 successful day down, 11 to go!!
 
Today is Anzac day, so nothing is open. Going to a family bbq at hubby's parents place today which might prove to be a bit of a challenge- his family aren't anywhere close to being on the healthy side... so it'll be heaps of snack foods like chips and salted nuts, salads drowned in dressing, big fat sausages, steak... Eeee! I'm a bit sad today too, Anzac day has one of my biggest Jamie memories attached to it from just after we met. I've been missing him a lot lately, could have contributed to my food meltdown the past few days. At least hubby helps keep me in check while I'm eating, just by being there! Having a bit of a lazy day too so can't have too many calories.

Todays plan:
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 eggs, 2 chipolatas
Snack: Prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Soft rye wrap with 2 slices cheese, tomato, 1 cup spinach
Dinner: 1 bbq sausage, 1/2 cup coleslaw
Snack: Protein shake with water

Exercise is 1hr 45min walk.
 
AAAAAAAARHHG!! I was bad last night... really bad! Got to the bbq yesterday at like 1pm, had a protein shake before I left. Was expecting to eat within a few hours... we didn't have actual proper food till like 5pm. I had absolutely no snacks or anything, and then when they cooked the bbq... it was all pork chops and pork sausages... I *HATE* pork, vomit! So had 2 tiny little sausages and a little bit of salad. So was completely starving, and I find it really hard to talk to Ash's family cuz all they talked about all afternoon was cars and footy- 2 things that put me to sleep very quickly... and I know nothing about at all. Left at 6pm and went to one of the only shops open and bought heaps of junk food and ate it all. Feel sick today and have really bad menstrual cramps. OH also did no exercise at all yesterday. Going to have to completely write off this week- I'm confident I can be healthy for the rest of it but even if I am... I'll just even out with no deficit at all. Big fail!! I hate it how when you're being that bad it's like you stop caring about losing weight, forget all the hard work you've been doing and why you were doing it in the first place. I guess TOM week is always a lot worse than any other, but still frustrates me so much. I'm definitely back on the wagon today though!

Todays plan:
Breakfast: Soft rye wrap with 2 chipolatas, 1 egg, tomato
Snack: Prune and zucchini loaf
Lunch: Soft rye wrap with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Garlic and ginger stir fry with chicken and basmati rice

Exercise is 1hr 45min walk.

REALLY not looking forward to weigh in this week :leaving:
 
Morning all!! Thank *GOD* TOM is almost finished... what a baaaad bad food week I've had! That being said, I don't actually feel like I've put on much (if any) weight... so weigh in on Thurs will be interesting. I don't think I've lost though.

Well yesterday was a public holiday and hubby actually had the day off... so spent most of it watching TV then decided I was feeling a bit stir crazy and so we went out and got coffee, walked around our fave suburb (it's about 5mins drive from us- when I've finished studying we are SO selling our place to live there) Weather was sooo nice and I like imagining our future together :D So that put me in a really good mood. Calorie-wise yesterday I broke even, so no deficit... mainly because I sat on my ass all day long and didn't move until late afternoon, so if I wanted a 1000cal deficit I would've had to have stuck to 1200 cals, which I *SO* can't do lol. I really want to try my hardest il the challenge is over, then I may have to re-think the amound of cals I eat daily because I am having trouble sticking to it lately. Would really love to get down to 66.- anything by Thursday week! That would make me happy.

Today is going to be a loooong day too- cuz yesterday was a holiday I had gym today instead of yesterday- at 6am- then I have dancing tonight which finishes at 10pm. I didn't do too badly last time I did this so we'll see how I go!

Food
Pre-gym snack: 4 vita weats, 100g low fat cottage cheese, prune and zucchini muffin
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal grain toast, 2 scrambled eggs made with skim milk and 1 tablespoon butter
Snack: Banana, prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Sandwich on wholemeal grain with cheese, tomato, spinach
Snack: Kiwifruit, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Garlic and ginger stir fry with chicken breast and basmati rice

Exercise
15min jog, 30min gym with trainer, 30min walk, 2.5hrs dancing.

Looks like I may be a tad exhausted by the end of the day...! Lucky me I start later at work today, probably wouldn't make it through otherwise!

:waving:

Thanks for stopping by Cierra! And thankyou for your lovely comments :) I used to weigh my goal weight and even at that weight I'm still really curvy- I've always been an exagerrated hourglass- all boobs n bum lol. It was a lot harder for me to deal with when I was younger, but I actually really like being curvy now! I'll be happier when my curves are smaller and more toned though :D
 
Not going dancing tonight unfortunately, Wade isn't feeling too well... so having a quiet one in. Walked an extra 30mins and only ate half my afternoon tea, so got my 1000 cal deficit for the day. Hubby is going to be home late tonight too so might do some cleaning. I'm happy though- first day this week that I've eaten all healthy and stuck to my calories! Hooray for the return of self control!
 
I hear you on the boobs bit. At least yours is boobs and bums, mine is just all boobs. Was really really conscious when I was a teenager, then I just learnt to appreciate. I totally am with you about them being a little smaller and more toned. :)

Loved reading your journal. Will drop by to say hi often.

I totally feel this way this week too!! It's such a horrible feeling because at the same time you know you don't want to feel that way so you feel extra guilty!! I'm with you though and moving forward today! It's so hard though!

Yes you can!! So glad you got back on track and showed me it can be done!! I bet it was hard to get rid of those sugar cravings! Good work!
 
I did a bad bad thing yesterday... went shopping while I was HUNGRY and was dragging around my junk-food crazed husband. Needless to say it ended badly, even though I didn't particularly feel like junk food I ate it because it was there. It kind of went like- "Oh, I'm SO getting smoked salmon for myself as a treat"... then hubby decided to get chips, icecream, chocolate as a treat too... :banghead: And I was hungry, so didn't have the willpower to say no... :nopity: I woke up this morning so angry at myself, I opened the cupboard, grabbed the last pack of chips, ripped it open and emptied it into the bin. Can't have it sitting there staring at me while I have a day off!!
Scales today said 68.8kg... I actually thought it'd be higher because of all the salt I've eaten this week. Which leaves me thinking maybe I really haven't gained that much and a lot of it is water... so will weigh in again on Sunday. After years of weighing myself daily, especially after binges, I know that usually if I have a binge I'll magically gain a heap overnight... then if I eat healthy for a few days, I'll lose 500g every day for 3 days. So that means that if I weigh in on Sunday I'll probably be around my 1/4 way mark. Will weigh again then! I'm putting last week behind me and looking forward.
On a more positive note, I have been trying to find a healthier alternative to chipolatas with my breakfast every day, just cuz they are so damn small and 2= 200 cals lol. Not really impressed with the extra lean beef sausages at the supermarket either, they taste a little strange. So on my shopping trip yesterday I bought chicken chipolatas- same size as the beef variety but I can have 3 at 191cals- and beef chevups which I tried this morning. And they are the BOMB! YUM! They're almost the size of a normal sausage and 2 of them only come in at 178cals!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice with eggs. Also they don't have a skin or anything and they are really lean as well so I don't feel like I'm drowning in grease with my brekki.
Worked out a food plan for the next 3 days this morning, all super nice food I love so shouldn't have a problem sticking to it. I think after that though I might start eating a little bit more- maybe having just a 500cal deficit daily. I'm not in a huge rush to lose weight, and it seems like the more I try to lose at once, the further back I go lol. The first time I started losing weight years ago, when I knew nothing about it... it took me 8 months to lose 11kgs... and I was happy with that. Had a think about it last night, and wondered why I felt I had to hurry through it. I think it was making me sabotage myself more. I mean, I KNOW it was. It's taken me 10 weeks to get nowhere (other than being the fittest I've ever been I mean- which is a HUGE plus-... weight-wise I haven't gotten very far :smilielol5:) I'd be happier if the scales said I was down every week, even if it's only a little bit!
Sorry about the novel! Here's todays plan.

Food
Breakfast: Wholemeal toast with 2 eggs and 2 beef chevups :drool5:
Snack: Banana, prune and zucchini muffin
Lunch: Wholemeal grain sandwich with smoked salmon and tomato
Snack: 1/4 rockmelon, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Prawn curry with basmati rice
Pre-gym snack: Protein shake with skim milk, 2 vita weats with 50g low fat cottage cheese

Exercise
1hr 20min walk (got to walk to the shops and back, and have to walk to the post office this morning which is in the other direction so odd number today) 1hr gym training session

I'm baking today!!!!! Got super excited when I went shopping and they had rank mushy bananas reduced to clear... that means banana muffins and banana bread and other banana-y goodies :D Also means I'll be in an awesome mood in a few hours... FINALLY got the Lady Gaga cd so will be spending the day dancing around and baking, 2 of my favourite passtimes.
Happy Thursday everyone!
 
Forgot to add... even more exciting stuff... Pink Lady apples are in season again, YAAAAY!!! Had one yesterday, forgot how AMAZING they taste!
 
Day off is going well so far! No drama as yet... Gave myself a facial and had a nice relaxing long shower. Then tried on all those clothes again that I bought last week. Nothing like looking at yourself in the mirror for some motivation :D I mean everything I bought looks nice on me but I just think how much better I'd look when I weigh a lot less. Hm.
Going to clean up the kitchen now and get into baking!! Lady Gaga and I are going to rock out!
 
Gosh, I haven't gotten a facial done in AGES. Im so gonna get one this weekend. Haven't had a mani and pedi in a while too...maybe i'll add that in as well...

Hope you having a good week. Two days till the weekend!!
 
I'll be honest... today I was rather naughty. Got really REALLY bored so decided to get out of the house... ended up at the shopping center round the corner and bought an incredibly hot pair of heeled boots... and a couple of tops... :D BUT stuck to my calories all day and getting psyched up to go to the gym in an hour. Hubby is working late tonight so all alone, probably won't see him before I go to bed. Ah well, can't do anything about that! Hooray, tomorrow is Friday! Goodnight all (and good morning to others lol)

I do them twice a week religiously... old habit from beauty school days!
 
When I read that you were naughty I thought "oh no she was just getting back on track" and then when I continued to read that it was because of shopping I couldn't stop laughing! Did your husband say anything about the purchase or did you hide the evidence? I've done that before where I buy a shirt and I really don't need it so when he sees me wearing it I'm like oh my sister gave it to me a while ago and it never fit or this old thing I've had for a while but forgot about it!! So glad to see you sticking to your meal plans and staying on track! Keep it up and you'll see what you want come Sunday!

:smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

It was naughty cuz I spent sooo much on clothes and stuff last week! I told him though... it wasn't SO bad, the store had 30-50% off all boots!! So coulda been worse!! I felt worse about buying more clothes lol. SOOOOO tempted to go back and get them in gray as well!!

Gym last night was pretty intense, did a circuit with push ups, jumps, squats, lunges, elbow-to-knee crunches, seated rows, and can't remember what else... went through that 3 times... then did a heap of biking and took turns wrestling the trainer to the back of the gym. Like seriously- MUCH harder than it sounds! We had to put our hands on his shoulders and push him and he made it so damn hard. Then HEAPS of jumping lunges and jumping squats, then had to push him again. Did that 3 times too. Boo then more biking, some rowing, then did 100 squats with us all standing in a circle facing each other. I'm not sore today, I don't usually get sore till the day after... which is usually the day I have another gym session lol.

Todays plan:
Food
Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal toast with spinach, smoked salmon, and 2 eggs
Snack: Banana, 1 serve of sesame and poppyseed crackers
Lunch: Wholemeal sandwich with cheese, tomato, and 1 cup spinach
Snack: 1/4 rockmelon, homemade blueberry muffin
Dinner: Prawn curry with basmati rice

Exercise
1hr walk, 40mins yoga (yes- actually planning on doing it this time!)

Think that's it for today!! Nothing too interesting happening or anything, just work... and not that excited about Friday cuz I work tomorrow too... blah soooo need a new job. Mine is depressing me (even if I do get to work with Wade!!)

:seeya:
 
I always do that with clothes - find something that fits well, good price and buy it in every colour! I used to do that more because finding clothes that fit was harder.
I wish I would win the lottery so I never have to work again! I would love to be a stay at home mom too but I know that will never happen unless I win the lottery either - my hunnie's job isn't necessarily stable and mine has all the benefits! That's nice you get to work with a friend - the youngest person at my work is 45 or something and mostly all men - some days I don't even see another female so all the chatting I do is on here!
Exercise and eating looking good - keep it up over the weekend - looking forward to catching up with you MOnday - have a good one!!
