Step by step toward my goal!

2. Describe your dream/goal body

My dream body doesn't have a muffin belly as I do right now. I really would like to have a flat belly in fact. I also started to dislike my arms and legs.
Plus, now that I gained 5 kilos from summer I really do feel heavier and it sucks. I don't have any idea how I felt when I weighted 69. Probably it is because I was so in shape in summer and all of a sudden I gained weight and stopped running everyday, so I don't feel as strong. Well, I am going to change that.
Anyway, my dream body is most of all STRONG, agile and light. No belly and slender. :) I am getting there!

3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI?

It is! Even if I have always said and I strongly believe that my weight goal (50 kg) is only an orientative number. Because my real goal is to be fit, strong and agile! :)

I just discovered that my friend wants to join the fit boxing class. Which is very nice, but I also like when the sports are "my" thing. I am very competitive and get really demotivated when others that I know are doing better than me. I like to give my best, but when it's me doing exercise and I dont compare with others. I know, my personality sucks, but this is how I am.
Of course I cannot force her not to join. So, I will have to adapt to whatever she decides (she was not sure she is going to like it).
Well, this is not going to prevent my fitness journal! :)

4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try!
So, today I immagine I can have bread, right?!
Ok, I will try! :) Let's see how it goes.
 
Hi little_star!

I love that you described your dream body as STRONG, that is awesome :) Keep working towards that, you will get there. Aren't the questions great? Some of them really make you think! And you passed on free cookies? Wow! More will power than I have had lately. And now I want a cookie, LOL.

As for your friend wanting to join fit boxing, try to look at is as a positive. If she does like it and comes more often, don't let it bother you. As long as you are doing your best and pushing yourself to do better it doesn't matter what level they are at. But perhaps you could make your concerns known to them? Maybe you can go on different days if it does bother you, or if the classes are offered at another location they can switch where they go? Either way don't let it stop you from doing it because you really enjoy it and it's a great way to work out.

Keep up the awesome work!!
 
Thank you icychic, your words are always so encouraging and supporting.
Yes, the questions are great! I did not have internet access yesterday, so I could not update, but I am on it today. :)

I try to keep myself motivated and not fall in temptation, but it's so hard sometimes.
For example today I took a candy. We went out with some friends and I had the brilliant idea of trying a new tea flavor... I had the bergamot tea and... bleah! I did not like it at all. It was a torture to even take little sips. I tried to make it a bit more decent with honey, but it seemed to get worse. When we left the waitress took a candy each and I HAD to take one to take the horrible taste of the tea. :p Never having bergamot tea again I guess.
So I had a candy today, but I still think it is quite an achievement, because we are visiting my in laws right now and I am surrounded by candies, cookies, cakes and so on. It is a torture go to the kitchen. But so far so good, I have been strong.

Now, to the questions, yesterday and today.

Day 172
5. What is your favorite healthy food?
Mushrooms. Can I say simply mushrooms? I would put them anywhere and in any form. It is the one thing never missing from my fridge! :)

Day 171
6. What is your favorite unhealthy food?
Icecream. When my husband comes back from the shop with icecream it is very challenging to stay on track.
 
Hello forum,

So, since I am at my in laws I let myself go a bit yesterday.
Yesterday I had for breakfast a cacao with a pancake (my mother in law makes THE BEST pancakes in the region), for dinner a sandwich with rye bread, cheese, egg and tomato. We went to eat with our relatives and I ordered goat cheese chicken with potatoes and whine sauce. And I also had vanilla ice cream with chocolate cream.
Ok, definitely not a diet day and I feel guilty. But looking at it afterward, it was not that bad after all. I mean, it seems to me a "normal" holiday day. It is not like I had 3 ice creams, an entire bar of chocolate or so on.
I promise I will not beat myself.
Oh, anyway we also went for a long walk, which after all is a good thing.

Furthermore, the only scale here is an analogical one and yesterday it showed a bit over 61 and today shows exactly 61. I am not sure how reliable it is. We will see when I get home! :)
 
Glad to hear my posts help :)

As for the one candy, in that situation it was completely warranty and really one candy is nothing. The fact that you are staying away from them at the in-laws, good job!!! You are amazing!!!

Mmm...mushrooms...I love mushrooms. When I think about it there really are a lot of healthy foods that I like, just need to incorporate them more into my meals. We have mint chocolate chip ice cream in the house right now. I admit I think I've had 2 bowls since we got it a week or two ago...so yummy!

Glad you are not beating yourself up over your bad food day. You cannot change it, all you can do is forgive yourself and move forward. And I'm sure the walk helped burn off some extra calories too :) Hope the scale treats you well when you get back home, and if not don't look back. Just forgive yourself and move forward and get back into your good routines again.
 
You have been super strong not eating the mint chocolate chip ice cream all in ones.
I have noticed that when I have things home it is super hard to keep on track and I could not imagine not to eat icecream all in ones.

About my weight. I am not sure what was my weight yesterday, the analogical scale definitely said 61.0. Today I checked on mine and it said 62. It is also truth yesterday I had extra vegetables for dinner and probably the extra kilo is just water. Oh, well. Today we are again on it and I from this week I am going to fit boxing classes at least 2 or 3 times. :)

Yesterday question:
Day 170
8. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
Yesterday my wright was 61.0, so in the past week I lost 1.3 grams. Since today I got back the 1 kilo (I really think it is all water caused the many sweets I had), I am starting again with my plan. I only have 170 days to go. It is not that bad at all! :) I can do it!
 
Day 169
9. What is your favorite type of cardio?
Running, definitely. Cannot wait of starting again

1. 5 meals per day. After we came back from my in-laws it is a big hard to get back in track. I think yesterday I had much less meals than normally (I think in total 2) and that is bad. Back on duties today.
2. No sweets. Yeah, no sweets, but I was craving them as crazy.
3. Reduce processed food. I had a lot of processes food, starting with bread (white).
4. No lactose. I had a lot of milk in my sauces yesterday. Not good.
5. Drink a lot of water. I did not drink my regular amount of water. Bad girl.

1. Walk twice with the dog. This I did at least.
2. Fitbox class. Yesterday I did the most horrible thing ever, I literally forgot about my fitbox class. I was working on something and it was 6.30, then I looked again at the clock and it was already 7.20 (class starts at 7.30) and in no condition I was going to make it. Bad bad girl.

Today I am back on track and I am going to follow all these steps.
 
Only 168 days to go. That is not very much! I need to really get into it!!! :)

10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?
I don't really count calories. I like much more to eat clean food and avoid processed food. To me it is easier to take a huge bowl of salad or just vegetables than start counting how many calories each thing I put in my mouth is. I just wished I was stronger and resist to temptation better.

On the side note. Checking the pinterest first thing in the morning really gives me the correct energy to start the day! :) Yeah for inspiring pics!
 
167 Days

11. Today you will be cooking for your whole family. Find a healthy recipe online that they will also enjoy and show them how tasty healthy food can be!
This is going to be a bit tough since today I have a hell of a day and get home only in the evening. I will probably switch this with the weekend.

So far there were not progresses. Stuck on 62.0. I think I have very much stress because of the graduation. But I will stick with my plan :) Just need to be a bit more rigid around food (for example yesterday I had a little candy. I will lose this 1 kilo because I know it is all water and not real weight.
 
Let's say that trying to lose weight in such a stressful moment (work and graduation) is not a great match. I am trying to survive through. :) I can do it!
 
Argh! I wrote an entire post and here I deleted it accidentally. Argh!!

So, basically I am back here, working my way down 60 as my first big achievement!
There is not much to say, really. I am pretty stressed because of work and studies, but I will accomplish my goals once for all. I am tired of fucking things up.
In summer i kept a little notebook about my success. It was mostly to keep me motivated and it was not a real plan (I use the forum and evernote for that). It was very useful because I would force myself to think positively and realize also the small achievement I reached everyday.
So be it!! :)

I also modified the "weight loss ticker" in my ticker because the 68 feels so far away (in time) that they are not part of the picture anymore. I don't think I am getting back there and to see 6 kilos lost makes me unconsciously think that I already accomplished much, which is not true. So, back to square one. 13 kilos to go! I can do it and I will!!
 
161 days to go!

Today went quite well.
I went to fit boxing class and it was great. I admit I felt a bit heavy doing all those exercise, but I feel now very relaxed and satisfied.
My husband also sent me to buy some snack for tonight and I took icecream for him and strawberries for me. I am not sure I even want to have them now, but they would make a great breakfast tomorrow!
 
Im currently on slimming world i've lost 4 stone so far but cant quite get to my target so im thinking about doing a 9 day detox pack has anyone else tried this yet and know whether its any good as few of my friends have done it and have lost a lot of weight just wondering if anyone has tried it?! :)
 
Thank you for the comments.
@4stonelighter. I don't know much about the program you are following. But you have already lost a massive amount of weight! Keep going!!! :) It seems it is working for you.
@howardbailey. Well, the recipe to lose weight is pretty straight forward. You eat healthy and exercise. The problem is staying motivated during the journal. I am not an expert, but it seems to me that twice a day is a bit too less. You should eat at least have 3 main meals and 2 snacks so that you don't starve yourself and binge. Hope it helps.
 
160 day to go!

62.3
Yesterday we stopped by a salad place. It was way more expensive than if we would have stopped for an hamburger, but it was nice to eat all that fresh salad. :) I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day.
At work again the temptation was high, in the office someone brought some cake and before I left there was the really last piece looking at me and calling me. Arghh! Well, I left earlier and stopped by the local store because I was craving strawberries. Guess what? They did not have them, so I ended up buying some grapes. But they are quite not the same thing as strawberries. Sigh Sigh.
Anyway I amanged to stay healthy for the entire day. :)

And at home my handy husband fixed the blender, so I officially can make smoothies again. YEAHHH! :)
I am an happy little-star! :)
 
Finally. The biggest worries about graduation are over.
Now I finally can focus on loosing these 10-ish kilos and be a better me.

Yesterday was the first day without candies in a LOOOONG time (stress makes me crave for chocolate).
For breakfast I had vanilla coffee and strawberries with a little of brown sugar! :waving:
