One step at a time...

Aww thanks guys, yeah I don't mind running until that moment where I feel like my lungs are about to collapse which at the moment is somewhere near 15mins. Like you both said though...I need to build up to it, can't just expect to run a marathon overnight. I have to bear in mind that I have an awful lot of weight to bounce up and down with, so the lighter I get the easier it will become.

Scottsblue...I'm glad you've found your way to my diary. Always good to have male input, you're the only man to read my diary I think hehe.

Flame Retardant...thanks so much for commenting. I'd love to get better at running. Maybe one day I'll be the one with a high viz jacket....oooh fancy hehe x
 
Morning all...I had the craziest night last night. I was working behind the bar and this huge group of blokes came in drinking (we are more of a food establishment so this is rare). They drank and drank the bar dry pretty much until 2am! Normally we'd be out of there by 11pm. At one point, one of them yelled NAKED BARRRRRR and loads of them just stripped butt naked. I didn't know what to do with myself, except let out a girly scream and shout at them to get clothed again lol. All in the name of fun though.

Am 17st6 dead on today as opposed to 17st6 3/4 yesterday so have no doubt that tomorrow I will finally see the 17st5 I've been waiting for. And then...it's time to smash past that weight and get to see the 16st somethingsssssssssssssss whoop. This excites me mucho xx
 
Yay so much good news going down in here - it makes me very happy!

Bravo on getting back on the treadmill. I hope to start running in the mornings soon, something I've been planning for ages. I'm a little embarrassed too about people seeing me so I'm hoping if it's at the crack of dawn there won't be many other people around!

I hope to hear more good things soon :)

PS 6lbs in one week! That's awesome! You're well on your way to the magical land of 'lowest weight EVER!'
 
Ooooh you're so close!!!

I'm going to do the spring challenge too I think :)
And I do try to post on peoples diaries often, but I sometimes forget and don't stop by for a while lol
 
Hmmmm I'm not in such a good mood now as I feel really unwell. I've just got back from a 10hr shift at work and for the last 5 hours I felt really weak, woozy and incredibly foul tempered. This lead me to eat a goats cheese and butternut squash lasagne with chips. Argh, why did I do it? I feel so motivated at the moment and didn't need it, I just didn't feel well and wanted comfort food. At least I know that I can be better tomorrow to make up for it. But I need to prepare myself for a negative alteration on the scale in the morning :(

Night night all x
 
I would ignore any -ve impact on the scale to be honest, chances are it won't be from the calories but the salt. A few days drinking plenty of water and no doubt it'll be back down in no time :)
xx
 
Yeah was not best impressed when the scale showed a 3lb increase this morning but laughed it off as I too knew it would probably be the salt. One meal is not gonna derail me. Anywho, i'm hoping tomorrow to be back at 17st6, not looking for miracles, but had a good day so far today. I'm aiming for 17st 4 by next wednesday, I can't expect to keep up the pace of a 6lb loss every week. 2lbs a week is healthy, do-able and would get me to my target loss for the Spring challenge! Yey x
 
17st8 this morning! Not impressed. I really don't understand, I'm wondering whether my TOM is coming up. It must be soon and I always hold on to weight during my TOM and then it drops off right after. I'm hoping that's what it is anyway cos it's not good for my motivation to be doing well and not seeing a loss. Boo.

In other news I decided to use the running track at my gym this morning instead of going on the treadmill. I can normally do 15mins on the treadmill with maybe a 1-2 min walk inbetween but on the track today I literally managed 400m. Was absolutely gutted with myself but I couldn't bbelieve how much harder running on had ground is than on the treadmill. It's the weirdest thing. Also it's mega cold here and I could barely breathe in the freezing cold air! No excuses though...it was a poor effort. Must try harder next time...just gonna build on it like next time try and do 1.5 laps, then 2...4 is a mile (+ 9.3 metres or something). Running a mile would be pretty cool. But that's just the beginning. X
 
Well at least you went! I'm proud of you for getting out there and giving it a go.

I manage to do my run this morning and you're right about cold air being a bitch. My throat was SO sore after all the poofing and panting.

I'm sure the scale will catch up soon - just don't get disheartened and give up else it'll never budge! x
 
Yeah I know you're right Hols. I am proud of myself for going, just disappointed in the result. It's like when you haven't weighed yourself for months and you just put it off and off thinking it can't possibly be as bad as you are thinking...and then, low and behold, it is! LOL oh well, the only way is up. I'm gonna get my best friend Sam to come with me when she had time, and when it's a tad warmer...not sure my lungs can cope with the bitterness! X
 
Haha well today has been a fail day but nevermind, it's just one day...and what a delicious day it was. I had a split shift so I had two hours off inbetween shifts and I ate the following:

A MIXED GRILL lol, with chips...even worse
Not one but two SCONES with whipped cream and fresh strawberries
Fruit salad

Wow that was a lot of bad food. Not really sure what was going through my mind but nevermind. The only other food that passed my lips was a bagel this morning and i discovered the scones were 240 cals each. So with the whipped cream probably about 550 ish cals, plus the 300 cals from the bagel is 850 cals...before the mixed grill haha. I reckon the mixed grill was probably about 700-800 cals meaning I've proabbly had about 1600-1700 calories. Not the end of the world really. Worked on my feet all day so haven't been lazy. Watching taken now, love this film, liam neeson if yummy x
 
I have not seen that film.

I watched Rango last night, it was good but strange.

Hey ho never mind about yesterday - make up for it today! x
 
Quite happy this morning that the scales hadn't been affected by yesterday's binge. the annoying thing is that I won't have lost any weight for the spring challenge on week 1 lol. Week one should be where you lose a chunk, I wish it would have been last week when I lost 6lbs. I think that meant that I was never gonna have a big loss this week, regardless of how I ate, I feel as if my body had clung onto everything this week lol. Next week I am determined to be better X
 
So I thought it was today that we had to weigh in for the Spring challenge, but it's tomorrow! Yey, my last chance to shift one measley pound so I can report a loss. I was dreading putting 'stayed the same' on week one. Depressing. I am dead on 17st6 this morning so here's hoping eh? As long as I see a 5 on the scale tomorrow, I'll be back down to my lowest ever weight. And I just can't even tell you how excited I am that in a couple of weeks (I hope anyway) I'll see the 16st's............whooooooooooooooop. On that note....off to the gym....screw you 17st6! x
 
I'm glad that you enjoyed your little binge instead of beating yourself up about it. I have decided that if I binge I will make a conscious decision to do it and enjoy every minute of it otherwise what is the point :) The trick is to just make up in the following days.
I love to see young girls like you losing weight and can't wait to see you slim. Have you ever watched ' I used to be fat' ? It is about young people losing weight in the summer before they go to uni. I watched a couple online as it is an american show but I love to see the difference in them in just a few months and to see their confidence grow.
 
I'm also dreading the weigh in for spring challenge tomorrow!! PANICCCC. Pretty sure I'll have lost a big fat zero. Ho-hum--We must keep trying!!
 
ARGH the spring challenge I completely forgot!!
Eek, that's gunna look bad!

Pip, so glad you stayed down at 6, you really will be back at 5 in no time!! (hopefully today :p)
 
Thanks Val, no I haven't watched that show but I will deffo check it out. I got pretty obsessed with X-weighted at uni which saw people go through amazing transformations in 6 months, mostly due to exercise. Check that out if you haven't seen it, it's Canadian.

Redpiggy and Hana, it doesn't matter about the spring challenge, we've all been up against it this week. My body just seems to have clung onto every single calorie. Buggering body!! Next week we will try harder.

In other news, I started my c2k5 training this morning...I have decided to label myself as 'In Training' as it makes me feel official lol. I downloaded an app to tell me exactly what to do, it's immense. It lets you add your fave up-tempo music, tells you when to run, walk, cool down etc. I really found it very very useful today and ended up doing a walk/run of 3k. Will be doing it again on wednesday and I'm actually looking forward to it. So much so, I've uncancelled my gym membership lol x
 
I just had to post this real quick:

I'VE SIGNED UP FOR RACE FOR LIFE ON JULY 17TH. WHOOOOOOOOP, MY FIRST EVER 5K, CANNOT WAIT!

That is all lol x
 
OH WOW!!!!! That is so awesome!

You'll kick ass, I know you will!

I'mma gonna have to try this C25K everyone is harping on about!
