Wowsers.. sorry to hear about your hubby hurting his ankle! Time spent in hospital waiting rooms is about the worst way to spend an evening!!!

I haven't been to Adelaide myself, but everyone I know who has says it is lovely :)
 
hi kori :) we have neve been thee either so we are taking a bit of a risk! We have heard that it is lovely and that oz is a great country to live in so we are pretty excited!

Thanx for stopping by project :) always nice to get some encouragement too!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So today has been another good day :) kept the cals low and managed a double walk so im feeling quite accomplished! tom is the satrt of the weekend and the start of temptation.....no wine shall pass my lips! Have dinner out tom night but will choose a sensible main and avoid any starters, bread, desserts or alcohol! The rest of the weekend is taken up with family stuff and cleaning out the house so i should be able to avoid any weight gain:Angel_anim: well, here's hoping anyway!

Tom is the weigh in and im really hoping that i get back under 230. I have 5 weeks until i go on holiday and im hoping that i will lose at least another 10 lbs before that. Its not exactly hitting my target of 210 but at least it will be thinner than i have been all year! I might even manage less than 220....

I really need to get motivated to exercise more....i just cant be bothered by the time i finish work, org the house and do all my marking and prep work there just doesnt seem to be a spare minute! Still, no excuses....must do better!!
 
righty ho i need to exercise tonight so with that in mind i have a cunning plan! i will def need a nap so that i can exercise propely - i had and awful sleep so im kinda zombified today. So .... dinner, nap til 7.30 then EXERCISE!! i got a bit of a fright this morning as i have put on 1.2lbs since yesterday! It is pretty annoyingbut i know for a fact that i did not consume anywhere near my maintenance of 2200 - let alone 3500 extra to make up a pound! I really wish that i could have a fantastic week where i lose 3 or 4 lbs. Some people seem able to do that but my body seems to want to hang on to every last inch! I have been thinking of just forking out the money to go to the gym ext week. It costs £4 per visit so i could manage to pay for three next week (and just not drink at the weekend!) hopefully that will give me the boost that i need...im running out of time now! i only have 4 weeks to go and i REALLY want to hit 220, maybe even 215 before my holiday!!


FOOD

lunch - soup 100 cals, 2 slices bread 250 cals, 15g jam 50 cals

it has been a shitty day...sigh....i managed to keep the cals under 1600 (just) and did no exercise at all. My work is sooo bisy just now and im mentally and physically exhausted when i get home so it is just not working out well at the mo :( only 8 school days left until the summer hols and then another week after that to st lucia! i cant wait! i really need the break! I will def get more exercise tom as it is my class trip to the zoo so we will end up walking miles throughout the day. Im also going to book a class at the gym for wed night.


FOOD

LUNCH - small soup 100 cals, crunchy nut cornflakes 200 cals

dinner - macaroni cheese 1200 cals ( a massive plate of comfort food - not a good habit to get into!)

snacks - 2 coffees 60 cals


EXERCISE

Not a tiny little bit :(


Ahhh well at least i didnt reach for the chocolate i suppose! Lots of exercise and slightly lower cals planned for tom! i am DETERMIND to hit 224 or under by Friday!





total cals around 1600
 
well i have done hundreds of walking today! our school trip to the zoo was great and we walked around 2 miles (uphill!!) so that was a pretty good work out and then i walked another 2 miles this evening with the dog. So pretty goo d exercise wise.

Food though....i was so damn hungry! I ended up having more than i planned but i figure the extra exercise will account for it and i def didnt go over 2000 cals so im still under maintenance :)


FOOD

lunch - tuna sandwich 400 cals, pineapple 40 cals

dinner - slices bread 450 cals, beans 300 cals, cheese 250 cals

snacks - leftover macaroni cheese about 500 cals

total cals around 2000 - eek!


EXERCISE

At least 4 miles walked at a steady pace
20 mins toning exercises

I will def sticjk to under 1400 tomorrow and i have a gym session booked too. come on 224 or lower!!! I am def going to take my measurements again as i have lost about 14lbs and can see a bit of a difference :)
 
im a bloody idiot :(:( the first sign of mega stresses and i instantly over eat AAARRGGHHHH i cant believe i have ruined my good eating and exercise this week. I didnt even ENJOY it but its done now and short of going down the throwing up route (never ever) its pretty much staying where it is - and then turning to fecking fat. Stupid, stupid, stupid......

Well here it is and it aint pretty....:(:(:(

FOOD

Lunch - lasagna and veg 800 cals

Dinner - 4 slices bread 440 cals, 100g cheese 300 cals, mayo 200 cals

Snacks - 2 chew sweets 40 cals, mini caramel 40 cals, small tuna sanwich 200 cals, 4 cocktail sausages 120 cals, spoonful of chicken pasta 100 cals, 3 pieces choc toffee 120 cals, alpen bar 60 cals, 2 x coffee 60 cal, 200ml milk 100 cals

I'll add on another 100 just to make sure that i got it all - two parties for the kids after school led to buffet munching - damn it

total cals - around 2700 - way too high


EXERCISE

None at all becaus eof these damn paries :(


Well tomorro is another day and i suppose I'll just have to compensate for the overload. I reckon that if i limit my cals to 1000 and exercise A LOT then i can minimise the damage 2800 + 1000 = 3800 / 2 days = 1900 per day (manageable)


Food plan for tomorrow

Lunch - 2 x alpen bars 120 cals

Dinner - soup 200 cals 2 slices bead 220 cals,

snacks - 2 x coffee 60 cals, alpen bar 60 cals, pineapple 80 cals

total cals 740


Exercise

0.8 mile circuit x 4 = 3.2 mile walk
tae bo 20 mins
toning 20 mins
dance mat 1 hour


That is the plan that i will def stick to - that way the damage is limited and i dont need to feel too bad about the splurge today. It is really impritant to me that i hit 224 this week and there is no way i will if i keep eating like this. Back on the wagion as of now!!!
 
:DHey you your doing good:D

:chillpill:We all step back here and there and dip into or visit our old habits a little bit from time to time:chillpill:

You really should come and visit us over in the Accountability with Support Thread...It is a great thread, only one more place you need to post and supportive ppl.The thread is doing pretty good and keeping us all honest:)

If you need a bit of a :sifone:cheering squad:sifone: you know where to find us:)

:hurray:Keep up the great work woman:hurray:
 
Good to see you back.

I am back too but have pretty much abandoned my diary - or visiting other peoples diaries. I am hanging out in the challenges section these days.

I am kicking off a new challenge and it would be great to have you with me. Check it out and see if you fancy the idea.

Either way I hope that your project continues to go well (we all have those odd less than encouraging days like you have just posted but you have to focus on all the other positive days).

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
hi ladies! there does seem to be some good challenges out there but i always seem to have no time to post in them - i barely get time at the mo to post my diary but all that will change after this week as term ends!! So then i'll never be away from the challenges!


Well i weighed in at 225.2lbs this week, which means that i lost 1.6lbs :). I did want to drop lower but at least it's an ok loss and it is my TOM and i had a bad day during the week so hey ho!

So kinda happy but would have liked it to be better.....just makes me more determind to lose more next week!


FOOD

lunch - dry roll and glass of milk 400 cals

dinner - lamb curry with rice and yoghurt 800 cals, 3 pakora with yoghurt sauce 400 cals

snacks- coffee 30 cals, cherries 50 cals

total cals around 1600


EXERCISE

2.5 mile walk
20 mins toning exercises
30 mins dance mat


the 220 target seems increasingly unlikely before my hols :( i have just under 3 weeks left and just over 5 lbs to lose....maybe i can do it but if i only lose 1.6lbs like this week then im stuffed!
