well my exercise plan has totaslly gone out the window as i have broken my leg!!! i was jogging with the dog when i lost my footing and fell - fracturing my fibula as i did it holiday cancelled, exercise ruined and im currently sitting eating maltesers (low cal choc) and watching dvds until it heals a bit. my cals will have to be reduced as i am not moving around so much and im kinda limited in what i can do. i cant even weigh myself asd i cant stand on the scales! total bummer

well my leg is not broken! the doctors made a mistake when they read my xray so i was in a cast for a week for no reason at all! 
turns out that it was ligament damage. The worst of it is that I cancelled my holiday to st lucia because they told me i would be in a cast for 4-5 weeks....now i dont have a claim as my leg isnt broken im soooo stressed and now i have no holiday and i may actually have to pay for a holiday that i cancelled because some damned doctor cant read an xray properly!!
anyway..........because my leg has been out of action i spent most of this week sitting on my ass and eating a whole lot of rubbish. I can start to bear some weight on my foot now so i think i will start some light exercises tomorro and i will really cut back my calories. I need to find some sort of way to keep my weighloss going since i might not be able to exercise properly for another 6 weeks
I will weighin tomorrow and set a new target as i have been eating pretty much everything so i reckon i will be hitting around 230 ish again. Im prepared for and i will change my target for my goal for australia in sept too. no point having a st lucia target now

got as bit of a fright last night as i weighed myself and i was 235lbs! i was pretty devastated that i had put on 10lbs in a fortnight!
Of course it was the wrong time to weigh myself. I weighed myself again this morning and i was 229lbs...im not sure why there would be such a difference but 229 seems more realisic. I can accept that i hae gained 4lbs as i wasnt so controlled with my cals and i didnt exercise at all really. So now i need to get those 4 damned pounds off and get back to 225 asap...then my next target is 220lbs. Im hoping to achieve this by the end of september so that gives me 14 weeks to lose 29lbs. That is just over 2lbs per week which is def achievable. I just need to work at it!!
I have been looking at low impact aerobics that i can do while sitting so hopefully that will help me to be more active. I can also put a little more weight on my leg so hopefully i will be able to walk properly soon. I just need to adapt and stop feeling sorry for myself!
so here are my mini targets:
end of july - under 220lbs
end of august - under 210lbs
end of september - at or under 200lbs
so there we go....and now im off to do some sit down exercise!

Sorry things have gone so badly Tink. That really sucks about the holiday, but SORRY they cannot expect you to go on a holiday with torn ligaments?! That's about as bad as a bone break. Obviously you still need to keep off the leg so how can they expect you to on holiday with that? If the hotel doesn't return the money, I would dispute the charge with your credit card. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

had a bit of a boost as a i am now 2lbs less and weighed in at 229.7 on monday I am hoping to hit 228 by friday. I have managed to up the exercise and went swimming today. It wasnt the exprince i had hoped for though as the pool was full of kids dive bombing and no swiming lane...so i couldt swim as fast or do as many lengths as i wanted to. It was so frustrating!!! I managed to get in 16 lengths before i gave in and left. I think i will stick to early morning swimming to avoid that from now on!
Since we are moving away my wee dog has gon to live with my parents so i dont even have the dog walk exercise every day. Im really going to have to commit a set time very day to do something as im getting really lazy!
FOOD
lunch - turkeyham sandwich 300 cals, hula hoops 100 cals
dinner - stuffed pepper with cous cous and l/f mozzarella 600 cals
snacks - 3 boild sweets 60 cals, curlywurly 100 cals, lftover cous cous 100 cals, 200 ml orange juice 150 cals pk hula hoops 100 cals, alpen bar 70 cals
total cals under 1600
Will def need to keep the snacking in check tomorrow!
EXERCISE
16 lengths in pool
30 sit ups
50 press ups
20 squats
My plan for tomorrow is a 20 min fitness dvd...im going with the theory that anything is better than nothing!
