My journey to good health....and a hot bod ;)
- Thread starter Stacey.
- Start date
Well as already explained i'm feeling awfully ill. I think maybe i'm getting flu. So I went out and bought a take away burger and chips for tea. Surprisingly I don't feel guilty in the slightest, i'm feeling ill and I certainly am in no mood for eating vegetables!
For lunch I had a turkey sandwich with a packet of quavers.
I know i've messed up a bit today and I won't be doing any exercise, but hopefully tomorrow i'll be feeling a bit better so I can get back on it and exercise.
I set myself a challenge. The hardest challenge on the planet - at least to me. ABSOLUTELY NO TAKE AWAYS FOR A MONTH. Which means no take away in the slightest until March 24th. Here I will reward myself with 1 takeaway. Bring it!

Day 48
Not a great day. I've gained a lb. But to be honest I have no interest in whinging over that right now.
I'm still feeling ill and sleeping most of the time. Which means i've been neglecting my work and exercise.
Eating wise hasn't been great either. 2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk, 2 packets of snack a jacks which is fine. But then I let myself down a tad by having 2 and a half slices of toast covered in butter. I've also had a cup of tea and a glass of milk.
But like I said before, i'm not getting too hung up on the slip ups right now. I'm ill so I reckon I can be excused. I wish whatever it is thats making me feel like shit would hurry up and bugger off though so I can get back into my routine!

I set myself another challenge. No weighing myself until March 25th. I'm doing this because I think i'm becoming a bit obsessed with weighing myself. I know some people weigh themselves once a day, but for me it feels like too much and getting to the point where i'm anxious about it. So i'm going to challenge myself: NO WEIGHING UNTIL MARCH 25TH.
I'm hoping this may motivate to avoid slip ups at all costs so I don't see an awful number peering back at me on weigh day!
I'm doing my exercise tonight too I should mention. Yes i'm ill but I feel like crap and sluggish. So hopefully doing a bit of dancing around may make me feel better. I've already read that doing exercise despite being ill sometimes helps recovery (god knows how ha!)

Good luck on doing a monthly weigh in! I weigh myself not only once per day but maybe at least 5 times per day, every now and then when I had a meal or been to the bathroom. 
I can even pretty accurately predict my next days weigh in by weighing myself before bed time, knowing that I lose approximately 1.0 kg during a nights sleep. Am I obsessed with weighing myself? I probably am! Do I care? Maybe I should? LOL

Haha well I was a bit like that. I think about 3 times a day. When I went away to my Grans for the weekend, I was actually anxious to be away from them. So I thought maybe I need to cool if off a bit!
Do you find you weigh more at the end of the day than the beginning then come off the next day? I always feel like crap when I weigh myself after a meal. Ha!

Yes my weight go up during the day, after each meal. And then I lose 1 kg during the night for the next mornings weigh in. (I weigh myself first thing in the morning after I've been to the bathroom
)Bloody hell, it hasn't even been 2 hours since making that challenge and i'm already itching to get on the scales. 
Haha, the chances of me keeping that one up are unlikely. It's like they have some sort of magnetic pull, 
i'm happily sticking by my no take away challenge though.

Hey girlie!
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well...that's poopie...but you know what, you're right for not feeling guilty. Sometimes when we're ill, and we can't be bothered to do anything, we deserve a treat!
I know how hard it is to relax with school work too, and then feeling like you should be exercising...but perhaps take it easy this weekend. Rest and maybe get yourself better? I know sometimes working out when your sick makes you feel better, but I've also found that sometimes that just makes things worse
I hope you're doing better tomorrow! Never feel bad about saying how you feel on here... heck this is YOUR place to rant about whatever you like Rant away, sob away, do whatever suits your fancy here
And I think that's a great idea about weighing yourself. If that makes you feel best, then do it! Sometimes weighing yourself daily can be bad...it can be discouraging, or sometimes you get caught up on the numbers. You really have to do what's best for you hun! And if you keep up the healthy diet and exercise, the next time you weigh yourself, your jaw might drop!!!
Take care!!! Rest, relax, and enjoy the weekend!

Hehe I look forward to the day my jaw will drop when the scales say i've reached my goal! I'd love for it to be for my 20th birthday in August. Christmas at the latest ha!
Today has been okish. Food wise i've had....
4 large snack a jacks (38 cals each)
A big bowl of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk
A muffin (that muffin had almost 400 calories in....yikes!) I figured it was ok seen as I hadn't eaten much today.
Exercise hasn't gone to plan. I done the 10 minute warm up and then conked out. I just don't feel like I have the energy. I'll still be doing my stomach exercises before bed. I just don't feel like bopping around to a dvd

hard lines with the work out but it is the weekend. i tend to not worry as much about my work out aslong as i eat healthy so chin up.
Day 51
I think it's important for me to say I did break my challenge. I've started the whole weigh everyday thing and recording it. The takeaway one still stands!
So today I stepped on the scales and much to my delight, i'm not 162lb. I'm getting quite excited about getting into the 150s. As 150lb is my first goal (this is what I was this time last year).
Today hasn't been great food wise but wasn't a complete disaster realllllllly.
1 pack of snack a jacks
1 pack of weight watchers biscuits
A cup of tea
A large fries from McDonalds with a chicken wrap (lettuce only) and strawberry milkshake.....I don't count McDee's as a take away, so no rules broken! ............It's my first McDonalds since first week of January so I can't really complain. What I can complain about is that the guy in McDonalds got my order wrong THREE TIMES! 
Not sure if i'll be doing exercise tonight, i'm busy doing work at the mo. I'm hoping to get this damn essay finished by the end of the night so I can focus the rest of my week on exercise as opposed to getting work done.
Sooooo we'll see how that plans out!

Hi! Not at all Feel free to follow if you can stand my constant whinging!
Diary update:
Wellllll i'm up late doing uni work, you know the drill. And as usual those late night cravings are creeping in. I'm actually torturing myself as I type. As you know i've took up a challenge, no take aways until March 25th. But my late night cravings are screaming GET A DOMINOS. And i've looked up online the nutritional info that the pizza i'd want would have roughly 900 calories. And me being the pig that I am, I would eat the lot. So even though I know it would be a super bad decision and i'd regret it in the morning, my fingers are hovering over the 'order' button. I've actually already filled out my order, I just need to click send. Obviously i'm stalling and sitting on here telling you folks. I'm also trying to distract myself with a cup of tea. Ugggggh, why do pizzas have to so damn delicious??!?! Seriously, you never see people saying "i'm dying for a banana!!!!!"
come on self control! Do not fail me!!!!!!!

Hehe and the evil printer even worked in the end! 
Now morning is here, i'm so chuffed with myself for resisting. Despite getting a McDonalds for lunch yesterday, I have lost another few points of a lb. So that obviously done no harm. YAY!
I'm curious Jill, when it's morning here, what time is it there?
