Sticking to it!

Hey aww thats ok :) yeah it makes exercising fun so I'm more likely to do it with those!


Ok so yesterday I am gonna name as my cheat day, had busy day and was out of my room from 10am to 12pm so didn't have time to exercise even though I really wanted to. Also didn't eat very well but I resisted having a burger king so not to bad.
Went to a Tv show recording and saw Boyzone, Alesha Dixon and Martin Freeman :D Also when we were sitting by the River Thames I thought I saw Dominic Cooper (from Mama Mia) and kept looking at him cause we weren't sure but he kept walking past us then he got a phone call and I herd his voice and it was definately him! lol I Looooooove him! So was a brilliant day but not so much weight loss wise.
But will do lots today to make up for it

Just did my 30 minute workout video and about 5 minutes worth of sit ups woop!
Need to resist the sugar today though always crave it at TOM :(
 
The dance mat sounds like soooo much fun! So does the Wii... really going to think of investing in one of those.

I know what you mean about craving sugar during TOM... but mine is ALL month long! :p

I actually want to do a sugar detox pretty soon... like no sugar at all for two weeks or something... you interested? We could set up a challenge thingy on the forum?
 
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!)

hi kirsty! :seeya: its funny, your meals look a lot what i normally eat... have you felt energized by the time you work out, or are you fatigued? i feel like sometimes the foods we eat just arent enough, even though it seems like we are eating throughout the day. I have a bad habit of not eating, so when i eat consistently, i think i'm ok since im eating... but if im working out, i actually FEEL when ive eaten enough and when i havent.

also, you are so tiny already.... if you arent trying to lose weight, you would probably see much more toned muscles with more protein at every meal... possibly... i keep telling myself that, at least.

but good luck, i will be following!
 
btw, all u hula hopping girls are nuts! :willy_nilly: hula hooping is HARD! you must all have really strong midsections!
 
Hey jmlls07 thank you for your advice :)
It's strange some days I could eat constantly but other I can go for ages till the next meal.
I usually feel quite tired after but about 10 minutes later feel fine again
Im trying to loose a tiny bit as I tone up
And the hula hooping is hard but it works :D

Todays diet was a bit better:

Breakfast: weetabix with semi-skimmed milk (250)
Lunch: Large ham salad with lettuce, spinach, cucumber, beet root and pickles (?)
Dinner: Chicken breast wrap with side salad (500)
Treat: Bag of malteasers (190)
....

Hey Ankebuzz that sounds like such a good idea but I know I wouldn't be able to last lol I don't think I could live without my sugar fix every few days at least :p

Ok today not so good, have a stomach ache cause the first thing I ate this morning was a tiny bit of chocolate lol then had to rush home before my lesson quickly had a bowl of weetabix and now having a bowl of country crisp. Not feeling too well and think its all I can keep down.
Going back home today so will hopefully get in an hour on the Wii Fit + Boxing.
Tomorrow will be a better day food wise, so much easier when I'm at home and hopefully feeling better.

Oh and ordered this body con dress which I love!
Won't be able to wear it until I feel 100% confident in it though so thats my motivation at the moment :D

Ok this day progressively got better :) had a lovely morning, handed in an assignment and did 45 minutes exercise!
15 minutes of abs, legs and yoga on the Wii Fit
30 minutes of Wii Boxing

And my dad got a takeaway, normally even if I wasn't hungry I would eat it for the sake of it but instead I ordered a chicken shish with lots of salad and will have it for lunch tomorrow.
Also gonna get a chance to go on my dance mat again! You can set it for the amount of calories you wanna burn etc so looking forward to that!
 
hi kirsty :)

Thanx for stopping by my diary - it is always great to have encouragement and support :D

You sound like you are doing really well with your exercise! Keep up the great work! I am seriously lacking in the exercise dept and need to move my bum and get to it i think!

have a great weekend

allie x
 
Wow, cute dress!!!!

Oh, now I wanna get myself one to wear as soon as it's summer!!! (That'll be round October... long time to get gorgeous :D

Have a beautiful day!
 
Aww thank you girls :)
The dress came this morning and its amaaaaazing! Every time I'm tempted to eat rubbish or not exercise I'm gonna think of that dress now cause I can't wait to wear it. I would definitely recommend you all go out and buy beautiful outfits as motivation!

So today should go well!
Breakfast: Weetabix with semi skimmed milk and muller vitality low fat yoghurt
Lunch: Chicken Shish Kebab without the pita bread (can't live without my garlic sauce though)
Dinner: Not sure yet but maybe something light like soup or something

Exercise:
Dance mat! Woop! For at least 30 minutes
Wii Fit + Boxing: 30 minutes

Ohh and I lost 2 pounds :party:
 
Oh dear just ordered another dress, this was the one I originally wanted but sold out and I think I just ordered the last one cause now its sold out again!
Now I have no choice but to get into shape or its alot of money down the drain! I do adore them though, no more spending for a good while now!


At least I have my summer dresses sorted :)
 
I know I'm gonna have to be feeling brave when I wear it!
....

I've got a cold and sore throat coming on but should I carry on with the exercise? I don't wanna overdo it but I also don't wanna stop :(

Also according to this I should be at my ideal weight a month from now :)

My second dress came this morning! I love it but thats it now no more, not until I get paid anyway :)

Today went quite well, tried to up my calories a little bit as I was worried they were too low

Breakfast: Country Crisp + Semi-Skimmed Milk (340) Muller Vitality Yoghurt (70)
Snack: Two Slices of Nimble Toast + Margarine (120)
Lunch: Chicken Salad with Spinach, Cucumber, Betroot and Light Honey and Mustard Dressing + Whole-meal Pitta Bread (250)
Snack: Muller Vitality Yoghurt (70)
Dinner: Weetabix + Semi-Skimmed Milk (181)
Treat: Smarties Cookie (220)

So Roughly 1,100
As usual did alot of running up and down stairs at work, Also did my situps before work this morning and will probably do some Wii Fit later but I'm quite tired at the moment so not sure yet.

I joined CalorieCount and based on today I got a nutritional grade of A- so can't be too bad!!
 
Lost another pound! I know this is probably a fluctuation but since I'm not gonna be able to weigh myself till at least thursday, it should hopefully be permanent by then :)
Didn't go clubbing at all last week, usually go twice a week and get absolutely smashed! (I'm a first year at uni) So I feel that was a great accomplishment. The most I drank a few glasses of wine. Don't intend to go out this week either, have loads of deadlines and exams so that helps things. And I'm saving loads of empty calories. Woop! Also when I've been drinking I'm more likely to eat loads!
 
Ok gonna make today a productive day. Have 4 essays to write and an exam this week so I am gonna try and confine myself to my room as much as possible.

Just had breakfast, so gonna give it a bit then start some exercise using my Pump It Up DVD. I got it ageees ago and loved it but lost it for ages then stumbled across it the other day. Should help spice things up while I'm at uni during the week.
Then I need to have a shower and get on with my work! This usually distracts me from eating when I'm not hungry too :)
 
Wow, sound like you're on a roll! I like the second dress even more! Not quite my style (the print), but the cut is stunning, and sooooooo short, heehee.

I think with regards to the exercise, tone it down rather than stop, until you are sure you have a fullblown cold/flu. Then get 3 ENTIRE DAYS of no exercise bed rest and lots of fluids!!!

Well done for not going out as much last week, I know how challenging a busy social life can be (and those darn empty calories... not to mention late night/early morning food stops :) )

I am also toning down my alcohol intake. Not too many drinks at one "sitting" and much water in between to trick myself, hehe.
 
Haha yeah I'm thinking of wearing black opaque tights with it just to be safe!
Luckily my cold went as quickly as it came, felt rubbish for a day but now it just hurts a tiny bit when I swallow, weird.
Alcohol is definitely one of the hardest things for me when I'm out seeing as its part of the uni culture.
Anyway having one of them days when I seem to be constantly hungry but I've kept it all good. Had my cereal, yoghurt, chicken and veg soup with a slice of wholemeal low calorie bread, an apple and now a bowl of hot weetabix yum!
According to calorie count thats 599 calories so far.
Also did my Pump It Up DVD this morning. Years ago when I did it (I was alot heavier) I would be knackered by the end! But I actually felt like it wasn't challenging enough. Also did my 5 minutes of sit ups.

Im quite proud of myself because I think this is the longest I've stuck to an exercise routine! Only had one day off and thats because I was out of the house literally all day walking around London. And I think its all down to this forum keeping me on track so thanks guys for your support!
:party:
 
Ok didn't do too badly yesterday ended up eating quite alot but all healthy and under 1,200 calories (apart from one pop tart) I was just constantly hungry, even had two vodka's and diet coke, by decided to stop because I wasn't really bothered.
And I randomly woke up feeling slimmer, you know when you just get that feeling?
Anyway hopefully by thursday I've maintained 121 or lost a pound.
Gonna do some exercise in a minute and finish at least one essay today!!
