Sticking to it!

Yeah I know what you mean, just writing it down helps motivate me for some reason.
My uni does have a gym which is £50 for the whole year bargain! but i only found out about it recently and I have a month left, so intend to join when I start again in October. The Davina DVD is one of the best home videos I've tried though and I alternate between the different workouts so its not too bad and will do for now. I'm gonna take up swimming again when I finish uni and see if my local gym does a pay as you go scheme which might be worth it. No point having to pay for a years contract if ill only use it in summer :(
 
Ok its nearly the end of the week and I've done well so far :) can feel all the work I've been doing in my legs now. Moment of truth though, my dads promised me a pizza tonight since I'm coming home from uni. I know I won't be able to resist at the time and I've been really good all week so will most probably eat it. However instead of my usual pepperoni passion my challenge is to pick the margherita which is 559 calories and 14.4 grams of fat, which doesnt sound too bad to me, what do you guys think?
Also since I'm going home tonight think I'm going to do 45 minutes on my Wii instead of 30 minutes on my workout DVD to mix things up abit.
 
Not a bad idea t all with the pizza! Get one with veggies if you can stand it! :p

Even better would be to eat half tonight and keep half for lunch tomorrow. Just my opinion. Well done on a brilliant week!
 
Ohh the veggies is a good idea :) yummy!
I thought about that earlier but since I'm gonna get the smallest pizza you can get I'll probably end up eating it all lol.
Thanks for the support!
 
I now really fancy a bowel of cereal so might just have that lol, cause I wont be picked up till late and am not craving a takeaway too badly so I think I should resist!
Maybe make saturday takeaway day after a long day at work :)
 
Ok so today was my kind of binge day, knew it would be I usually give myself one once a week :p tried to be semi-healthy about it though. Had a small chicken shish kebab and then a few choco biscuits after. Went on the Wii for 30 minutes though and really worked up a sweat so thats good!
Going to London tomorrow so will get up do 30 minutes and then will be walking around all day which will be good exercise. I intend to take a healthy lunch with me too.
 
Ok did quite well today, really wanna join a gym but its so damn expensive! Might think about joining on back at uni when I go back. But there's no point joining now cause I'll be back home in a month till October and there isn't another fitness first near me :( damn it!
Am just gonna have to stick at these workout videos and then when I'm back start on the swimming.
Have work tomorrow so will be a long day of running up and down stairs fetching shoes for people constantly for 5 hours. Will try and squeeze a workout in the morning if I have time. If not its a workout in itself anyway! Will either take lunch with me or might get a low fat sub from Subway which should keep me going till the end of work.
 
Ok I'm intending for this to be a really good day.
Just had my usual bowl of Country Crisp (oat clusters and strawberries) then a cup of tea and a pro biotic yoghurt.
Intend to either make a salad or sandwich, or get a low fat sub from subway for lunch.
Gonna take some fruit aswell.
Dinner will probably be salad.

Off to do some sit ups before work! And the Wii if my dad wakes up in time because it's in that room. Here I go! :)
 
Today wasn't too bad, actually probably a bit low with my calories but I'm not hungry at the moment and I'm not home from work till 6 and usually have eaten my dinner by then.

Breakfast: Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk and a muller vitality yoghurt
Snack: Small chicken salad with low fat honey and mustard dressing.
Lunch: Medium chicken salad with low fat honey and mustard dressing.
Snack: Apple and Apple Juice
Dinner: Weetabix and three biscuits

(I have a thing for cereal, I would eat it constantly if I could!)

Not exercising today as I'm sooo tired from work. Had to sort out our stockroom on my own and was breaking a sweat most of the time. Took me 5 hours! Can already feel it in my arms and legs. Did some sits up this morning before I left though.

Gonna get up and do 30-45 minutes on the Wii Fit tomorrow. We are having a BBQ but I'm going to marinate some chicken and stock up on salad. Hopefully the smell of sausages and burgers isn't too tempting!!
 
Woke up today and felt great! I can slowly feel my body changing but todays the real challenge...
BBQ TIME! And my dads gonna make loaaads of food so hopefully I don't give in and ruin it all. Im thinking my marinated chicken, salad and maybe a bit of rice. My biggest challenge is gonna be not eating a burger or sausages! Oh well off to do some exercise on my Wii in a sec.

Update:
Ok so far this morning I've done 20 minutes on the Wii Fit, mainly the muscle section and a bit of yoga. Then did about 15 minutes on the Wii Sports boxing. Forgot how much that kills your arms! Then did my normal sit up routine which consists of about 5 different kinds of crunches.

Woohoo I succeeded! Haha had loads of salad without dressing and two chicken kebabs with peppers and onions :D I'm glad I wasn't tempted, just kept thinking how rubbish I would feel after.
Not sure what to have for dinner later though? Thinking beans on toast yummmy!
 
In the end had my country crisp cereal I know its kind of lazy but its basically oats, hazelnuts and fruit :) all good stuff!
Have some chicken kebabs left over from today and salad. So that will be my lunch tomorrow, can never have too much salad and I actually love it now.
Went on the Wii fit for another 10 minutes then did 25 minutes of Wii Sports Boxing so all in all I've done an hour today woooo! My arms will be sore tomorrow though can already feel it now lol.
Back to uni tomorrow night so come Tuesday back to the workout video, should be able to keep it up, only 3 days then I'm back home.
Will probably end up having a glass of wine or two tomorrow night as I'm going to the pub but its better than the gallons of cider and vodka I normally have on a Monday when I go clubbing!
Gonna try and do an hour tomorrow, I know I can do it so much easier when I do it in bits :D
Writing this all down is actually really motivating me, I think if I wasn't I would have gotten lazy like I usually do when I attempt to loose a few pounds. Been doing this for just over a week now and can already feel my body changing!
 
The wii fit is so fun!

I did 20 minutes of hoola hooping this morning and it kicked my butt :)

I don't know if I have wii sports (although I probably do) but the boxing one on the wii fit bores me.

Sorry for just popping in your journal like that.

Just wanted to say hi!
 
Hey don't apologize I appreciate the support! Pop in any time you like :)
I love the hula hoop, I'm exhausted by the time I've finished lol
The boxing on wii sports is much better, like you actually have to box someone really gets me tired!
 
Grr the dreading time of the month is lurking, even though I'm down a pound I feel like I've gained two! Ah well lots of exercise today so hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and even better when I finish. Just gotta keep going.

Food for today is:
Breakfast: Country Crisp with semi-skimmed milk and pro-biotic youghurt
Lunch: Homemade chicken kebabs with salads and whole meal pitta bread
Snack: Apple, Peanut Butter on Toast
Dinner: Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Oh and I made a signature but I don't think its showing up :S

And by the way anyone reading feel free to say hi :)

Just found my dance mat game WOOP! I love it but haven't been able to find it for ages so will be spending ages on that today :)


....

Ok so I'm on there for one song then my dad comes home and he's the kind that rules the television so no more dance mat for me today :( Will have to carry on with the Wii I guess.

Ahhh!! I wish I had a dance game like that! My husband would make fun of me for all of eternity. =)
 
You should get one their addictive and I'm sure he would be tempted :p


Feeling abit fat today, probably cause I'm due on hate it grrr!
I'm starting to worry that I'm not eating enough. Like I'll have days when I'm really hungry all the time and then days when I have to make myself eat...weird! So far I've had my cereal, a chicken salad and a slice of toast but to be honest I wasn't really hungry for any of it.
Anyway my dads gone to bed so gonna have another attempt at the dance mat!

....

I think the dance mat just wasnt meant to be today. About 5 minutes after I started my mum came home with one of her friends. Ahh well.
