If it wasn't for the extreme pain involved I reckon I could catch cycling fever too. Your schedule does sound exciting.

That ride you did today sounds massive, too. I'm sure all the kilos you want to lose just now will melt right off with repeated attacks like that. :)

The cycling? or the spa? I have to go with the spa!
We booked into a camp about 15 mins from town where the race finishes purely because they have a HUGE hot pool and thermal springs :D

Extreme pain? :O you have an injury or something?
Yeah im hopeing to burn a ton of Kilos.

On another note, my older brother said something yesterday when he came over. I was mentioning the process of tests and seeing councillors and all that, and he was joking about saying "no im not paying her to give it to me, just paying for her gym membership and operation and ..." then i looked at him and said "umm .. operation? you dont have to pay for the operation..." anyway the convo went on to other things but it left me wondering.
He knows i have plans to get the excess skin removed, im wondering if he isnt thinking of helping out in that department perhaps and was trying to keep it a secret ...
I dunno. Not sure i would feel totally good about that anyway. I mean he shouldnt have to pay me for a kidney. I have 2, one spare. he has none and needs one.
If anything hes done me the favour getting me off my ass and into gear loosing weight. Its only fair that hes saved my life so i save his.

Anyway, something to ponder i suppose, i could be making a mountain over a molehill :D

I know you reckon this is something that could be gotten over in a couple of weeks but I think the grinding against my sitbones might be a function of my extreme shortness. :D Or maybe it's just that I am not willing to grit my teeth for two weeks the way you did. :D

What a great thought. :)
 
Hey Wishes,

Like I said animal-person: I go all japanese (with my camera I mean) in the spring when the place is full of kittens:) like my avatar:)
I get all tired here reading about all your riding on that bike, and that won't do since I just stumbled out of bed lol. No, I am loading on my favorite music as we speak and as soon as I've done some pages for today I am heading out.
 
Howdy Wishes,
Congrats on your bike run wow 2.5 hours I think my legs would have fell off 2 hours ago lol. What kind of bike do you have girl or boy bike? I asked this because I tried usuing my hubbys mountain bike and it is extremley uncompfy in more ways than 1 and I was wondering if a girl made bike would be more compfy?

Could be that your bike isnt fitted to you properly. Try angling the front of your seat downwards, and wear padded cycling shorts :)
Most bike shops will fit your bike to you.

Race bikes are all the same, you dont get 'girly' ones so much as girls just choose a shorter frame sometimes.
The bike does need to be properly fitted for you though - girls have shorter torso. Take it to the bike shop to get fitted - shouldnt cost much if at all.
I gained 5-6lb after the SH diet within a few days, but im loosing it again just as fast i think. The main reason for Sh diet was to kick the plateau which ive done :)

Man your family must be proud of you.

Dunno, our family doesnt really talk about feelings and emotions so much. Me and my kids do, we're all huggy etc. I encourage this because my brothers and sisters and parents never really did it.
 
well eating all the veges and fruit extra seems to be helping a LOT.
Though i gained 6lb after the SH diet within 5-6 days, ive now lost all of it again!
Took me a day or two to get the mix right, if you recall i ate only 800calories one day by accident. Basicly all i eat is fruit and vegetables. im skipping on as much bread as i can and keeping potatos to a minimum.
Its really good because on the SH diet you were only allowed fruit or veg, and it felt wrong. But when you mix it with a little meat or some other filler it totally fills you up and satisfys you!


Tonight i have friends over for dinner, im cooking a lamb roast, then going out to karaoke with them.
MUST CONTROL MYSELF OVER THE LAMB! To be on the safe side, im gonna leave myself a few excess calories from lunch and dinner just in case.
 
Howdy Wishes,
Yummy sounds like a great dinner and goodluck with
having control I am sure you will do fine,plus a little meat is good for ya!
I always thought Beef is the worse meat you can eat well they have lean
I guess it's not as bad. Congrats on cutting back on bread and eating more
fruits and veggies that will do the trick to get you where you want to be.
But don't forget there are GOOD carbs and some whole wheat breads I found
are very healthy to make a turkey sandwhich occationally with.
Have a nice day and enjoy your company and dinner Tammy
 
I acn only wish my taste for lamb on you!:p I hate it!!;) Hope that you can hate it tonight too, so that it is not a problem with you. Wow! I can't believe you can bike so long. My sister in law does that. She even bikes to work most days and that's 30 miles for her. Almost eevryday. She is in very good shape too!. I don't have a bike yet. It's on my list though!!:)
 
Lamb is my favorite meat. I used to think beef was really the worst too, but in general I think its all in eating natural foods rather than processed foods as well as how you cook things. A broiled filet is going to be better for you than fried chicken usually.

I agree here - I usually only eat fruit and veggies or mostly and watch my breads adn carbs - or I eat grains - but when I go back to breads and stuff I feel awful and gain...plus it is nice to have meat thrown into the mix - lol - that is what i consider protein - ha ha ha

the lamb comment - funny - made me smile and laugh - enjoy your friends, lamb and kareoke!!!
 
I can't believe it's been so long since I've visited; I had to back up almost 4 pages :eek: :eek:

You're doing so great Liz...catching up has boosted my motivation and excitement about getting this done!!
 
Im soo tired now.
The Lamb was ok - i did go nuts, but id planned on it a little. I thought i went over on my calories but it all added up right in the end so thats cool.
2 cups fruit, 4 cups vegetables + lamb and steak and weetbix for breaky. yum :D
I feel soo totally bloatedly full though. blerg!

Im starting work at 5am these days so hence why im not on so much. sorry if i havnt cought up on diaries. Often ill read them but not post because i dont think i have anything interesting to say (and it feels silly/wrong just saying 'hi').

Tomorrow i have a session with a PT - hes a guy i know whos wife worked with my hubby a while back. should be fun :)
 
That lamb dinner sounds like it was delicious!! I can't get my family to eat lamb anymore. The kids never had a problem with it when they were little!!
I'm so happy for you that you broke your plateau!! Congrats!!
 
Howdy Wishes,
Congrats on not going overboard, and wow
look at all those fruites and veggies! I need to add more but
I feel happy getting my 2 servs in ,in compares to none like I used to do.
Hope you have a nice day Tammy
 
ok just about to head off to the PT now.
Ate ok today - less veg and fruit, but still more than 1 cup of veg so im good. I also ate bread (home made chicken burger at lunch) today for the first time in a bit.

I got all my tests for the kidney thing now, tomorrow i have to do a 2 hour blood tests. If its the one i think it is i have to eat/drink some super sugary shit which is probably massivly excessive in calories then get tested.
Im talking like 1 ltr of super sugar water that probably has 500-1000kcal. Not good for the diet! i think i might have to have fruit yogurt for lunch and veg to make up for it lol.

Anyway - bbl! PT can give me a calorie burning workout!
 
Have a nice PT session! :)
You'll soon use all the calories in the sugar concoction the way you're using your bike! ;)
