Ok, now days 8,9 adn 10 qwere all dreadful! I didn't record what I ate and I realise that "it was weekend" is no excuse. I felt so bad about it that today I ahve been trying double hard. I ahven't had a single snack between breakfast and lunch (I normally have some fruit or something) and I'm really thinking about whether or not I should eat before i actually take the plunge!!!
I'm going to the gym again tonight so I should get some of those calories burnt off too. I have also been looking into hypnotherapy so if anyone has any experience of this...any feedback would be greatly recieved. I ahve a consultation on Friday but I don't know for sure if I will go ahead with having it done or not. It's meant ot make you want to eat healthily and want to exercise more.
I feel strangely positive this morning...not sure why...but I feel like I might actually be abel to do this. I'm going to start doing my DVDs again too...hopefully in the morning before work. I want to try and fit in as much exercise as is humanly possible! The thing is...after i have been to the gym...I feel like I could go back in and do another session. I'm going to start trying to go a little earleir I think too. I would like to go straight from work btu I feel too self conscious at the moment...maybe after a month or so of going regularly!? :)
Anyway, I had better get back to work! :) Will update food intake etc later tonight!
Ok, so it's been a few das since I posted so I'm catching up. The past few days haven't been too bad for me I don't think. Although I do think I could have done better. My nose and throat have been so bad I ahven't wanted to do much of anything except sit inside drinking hot drinks!
I went to my grandmas yesterday and got a big lecture from my whole family about the fact that I'm getting 'podgy' nad need to lose some weight...I don't think my grandma believes me I'm on a diet...although they have resorted to bribing me with promises of clothes shopping money when I reach goal. Fingers crossed I will reach goal around holidays time so it will mean I can buy lots of nice new summer holiday clothes!

Ok, SO things are going ok. I went to my buffett yesterday and I didn't go mad. Although I didn't count each individual thing, I overestimtaed on how many calories it would be in total to cover myself. However, on the exercise front, I did shockingly!! I didn't go to the gym and I only just did over 1000 steps! Major lazy day. But today I was straight back on form again...weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed all goes well!! :) Anyway...my 2 days of food:

I will post todays totals either in the morning or later on tonight!!
I have been off work today and was determined to make it to the gym this morning, and that is what I ahve done. I did abut 400 calories in total. Did the stepper, treadmill and bikes. I'm starting to get back into the gym again after stopping a while ago. And now the summer weather is kind of starting to show itself, it motivates me all the more as I think about all the summer clothes I want to wear this year.
So Im back to the gym ad have cut my calories down to 1200 a day which is my MBR so I should be loseing 1-2lb a week at that rate. I'm also thinking of trying Hoodia tablets to see if they stop hunger pangs a bit.
I weighed in yesterday and I had lost 2.5 lb. So I was pretty chuffed. AND I have managed to go back to the gym, even though I had a week off through sickness. It's very hard getting up at 6:30 to go out into the cold, but it will all be worth it. I'm considering doing a combat class too; possibly kick boxing or something like. :)
I have started taking Glutamine tablets too, which are meant to help sugar cravings...and I have to say, they are working. Although I have had a little sugar, I've not bee going crazy for it like I normally do. It may be a fake effect and I think I'm not craving it anymore because of the tablets, but hey, it works for me! :)
I have just signed up to do another class too, cardio blast which is starting at my new gym. Sounds like it will be a pretty good class too. I want to give swimming a go too but I still haven’t found the courage to try it alone. One day I guess.
I'm supposed to be going tap dancing tonight, but I don't now if I can be bothered, I might stay in and cook a nice healthy meal instead!! I'm thinking stir fry with chilli pepper sauce and LOTS of veggies! Mmmmm....I drooling already! I think I might follow it up with a square or 2 of dark chocolate (70% cocoa!!)
Right, I'm off to watch some TV before I decide whether to brave tap dancing or not. :)
Well I weighed myself on Monday and I appear to have reached a new high of 186lb! I'm completely useless. I have been spekaing to some girls at work though who all think it may be to do with the contraceptive injection I have, Depo-Provera. Apparently, one of the girls at work went on it and instantly started to gain weight. I keep considering coming off it but I would really like to lose the weight without having to come off it as I have a tendency to forget to take the pill.
Anywho, I have gained 3 stone in as many years and it started as soon as I started the injection so I thin they MAY be linked.
I ahve just joined an all new gym which is much better than the one I was at before. So now I'm going in the morning before work for an hour or so, then in the evening to a class or 2, and I'm going t try and start running again with Remi.
I just feel like I'm always at the same place, this starting square gets more and more familiar each time around. I always plan for this to be my final diet, but then I screw up and start again. I'm going to give it a real good shot this time as I would LOVE to have lost some weight for christmas. AND I ahve seen the most beautiful coat and I would really like to buy it in a UK size 12.
I make plans about losing weight, stick to them for a month max, and then just go on a pigathon!
Im starting again. I ahve had 5 days off work for bank holiday and have spent much of that time reflecting on how I cna help myself lose weight. I'm planning on walking to work daily, which is about 2.5 miles each way. I'm also hoping to start going to the gym again. I did do Aqua aerobics once, and I really enjoyed it. The problem is, all the classes at my local gym are at really bad times like 8pm, just when you are settling down for the evening!
I have also stared cooking my own meals, courtesy of "cook yourself thin".
Im going to really go for it, especially now I ahve my mum AND my boyfriend on my back to do it. I think they get fed up with me moaning about my size!
Just a quick apology, I ahve become a little lazy with posting regularly, but I am going to start again from this weekend. Could do with some of the support i get from the site! :)
Things have been quite tough recently...both dieting and various other thigs!! :( Not really got much to say right now but will write properly tomorrow.
