Well i am back, and making a new diary :D I am getting married in a year and need to burn away these pounds. I am just going simple this time no plans and weridness, just a simple walk everyday, and keep track of my eating. I am drinking heaps of water and keeping busy. I am at tafe for three days a week(tafe is like collage) and looking for some work. So i am sure busy. Well for now anyway, till that gets too easy.

I would love to hear from you guys, bout anything. I need all the suppourt i can get :D
 
~Weight : 108kg Weight loss: 2kg

So today is the begining of the rest of my life! I have decide to only step onto the scales once a week. Which will be today, Tuesday.

~*This Weeks Goals*~
  • Lose A kilo.
  • To Exercise Daily(Walking, streching and Toning)
  • And to drink 3L of Water A day..
~ Reward ~
I Get a Fun Day At the Beach With my little brother and sister.

*~Plan of Attack~*
I must exercise at 4pm each day, if i havent already!
Make a work out cd, slower tracks to warm up and cool down, and beater tunes for working out.

Week One is a success. I didnt exercise everyday, but most of them.
 
Thanks, it was a trick i learnt out of a diet book, but i do it for exercise, plus i sneak in more exercise that way. :D
 
Gotta Get A Job

So there are a couple of things i wanna yap bout... sorry :D firstly i am apply for work at the moment mostly fast food places, i need them to be flexie in my hours as i have to study and attended classes. Any advice bout NOT eating at work? lol macca'a will be okay they have heathy choices now, but pizza places and KFC? I have nooooo will power.

The other thing is rainy day workouts, i dont really like just using the bike, i am getting a little bored with it now. Any ideas of fun ways to work out inside?
 
Hey mickey,

Thought I'd stop in and say hi. Congrats on your wedding!

I love listening to music while getting in my cardio. I think sometimes its the only thing that keeps me going. I think Creative Media Source or Yahoo's version of iTunes (forgot the name of the program) will automatically setup play lists for you based on the tempo you desire. I think there's even a workout one...

I've never used it, but I remember seeing it as an option on some music program I was fiddling with.

I'd give the yahoo one a try... Oh! Music Match! Thats what its called. I think thats the one that had the option... or was it the creative one? I don't know!

Good luck and be sure to check out Fitday.com. Its incredibly easy to use.

Food Diary

i have decide to keep track of what i eat during the next week, see where those sneaky calories are coming into my diet. I know i drink way too much fizzy drinks. Too many calories there, i am swapping to water and diet coke. I like a bit of juice but i think i will have to give it up for a while, a piece of fruit will be better, fiber and vitiams.... My portion are a little mental too, i have been told by many a friends that to eat on a smaller plate, so i am going to try that too. Hmmm any other food tips?
 
There's an article floating around the forums that is about soda: diet vs. regular. It actually shows (according to this study) that people who are drinking the diet soda are considerably more likely to be obese. Now, who's to say that its not people trying to turn their lives around? Though, I think that was addressed in the article...

Anyhow, I'd really recommend that you kick all fizzies that even pretend to be sweet. If you're hooked on carbonation like I am, drink Perrier flavored water or any other fizzy that doesn't have any sweetener in it. There's something wrong with how a lot of fake sweeteners interact within our bodies and researchers just haven't been able to put their thumb on it. There is, however, a lot of research out there that links people being obese with fake sweeteners.

Also, high fructose corn syrup. Be a label reader and choose not to buy foods that have that in it. The way high fructose corn syrup works is scary. There's lots of info out there on HFCS too, so I won't drone on about it here.

You might also look up some of your favorite foods at and scroll down to the bottom and read about them. There's tons of info on foods and whats really in them.

Ekkk Really? I am cutting the fizzy then, dont want to grow another head, lmao. Guess what happened? My overweight parnter has decided i must be onto something so he is enrolling in my health kick, and half of his work mates, RAOFL. He works at macca's, so i am wondering how long he will keep away from the cookies sundays they have there. :D i am going to try and get him to set up and account here, i think he would learn heaps! I have, got a BMR and rainy day exercises...... Awww loves you guys... :D Crazy person leaveing now. Oh i have changed my way in day! Sunday it is now, havent got time on tuesdays.

Weight Wars!

Well my parnter and i are doing this weight lost thing together! He is going to lose it quicker, one cause he has way more self control than i, and he is bigger and male. Lol. Life is soo unfair! haha.

We got a new scale that tells us how much we way to the 100g! lol and how much % is body fat.... i am 52% flubber people! sigh. Oh we also got a treadmill. It is a cheapie loaded one but it will do for a while until we can afford an upgrade... Oh speaking of that. I was working out on wesenday, and i started feeling sick, and ended up in the bathroom.... Is that normal? or am i pushing too hard, too soon?
 
Doom, Doom....

I way in tomorrow. Nervous, lol. I know my parnter has lost bout 3kg, i dont know if i have lost any. I know different people lose weight at different rates, i just hope i have lost a little, dont want to get dishearten.

I have been doing 20 minutes on my treadmill each day, for the last three days. I have been keeping a keen eye on what i have been eating too. I have relized that i spot eat, meaning i pick at food. For next week i have set up a menu, so i know what i am eating and when.

Gone Insane

Okay this maybe only me, but since i have been eating lots of healthy stuff, my fridge is crazy full and i cant find anything... I have all the good stuff in there, fruit vegies, yoghurt... sliced meats and lots more yummo stuff... any hints on how to get it more orgainsed?

OMG i saw a video of me at a friends wedding and my parnters 21st OMG.... I am set back into this weight loss thing... i looked like a beached sea cow... ekk. I am going to get a still and put it on my fridge... and on the workout room wall remind me of what i want to change...

Oh heres a question, goals.... small or large or both? I have set a small one, a kg a week, a mid one... 10 kg in 2 month and my main goal 35 by the end of 6 months... too much or too little?

Hi Mickey, I saw the name and thought I would drop in. My name is Mickey also, though I am a male. I always thought Mickey was a nice girls name. Anyway, great job so far. I like your approach. Just do what's right. Some exercise, drink water and eat right. Good luck, the year will fly by and you'll look great for the wedding. I don't know if yoga is big in Austriala, but if there is a place, you should give it a try. Very strenuous AND relaxing.
