THANKYOU.

An extra big thankyou to everyone who replied to my last post. You're all right - and i should listen to the advice i give to others! Losing weight is a long process, and i shouldnt run away when it doesnt immediately provide results.

It just REALLY annoys me (and i expressed this to the boy last night) that he can eat well for two weeks and exercise a couple of times and 5kgs (approx 11 lbs) just falls off him.

IT DRIVES ME MAD!

I know it's not meant to be easy, but bah... i wish it was!

So, it's now Tuesday but i'll do my regular synopsis of the weekend that usually gets done on a Monday.

We had a fairly lazy night Friday. Stayed at home, watched TV (i was exhausted - travelling so far to work really takes it out of you). We ate lamb chops and vegies.

Saturday i went to the gym bright and early - 20 minutes on treadmill and 10 minutes on the stepper. After all my whinging about the weight not coming off, i actually feel like my ability to do cardio is getting better.

Then i did the grocery shopping and we mad cleaned the house for our house inspection Thursday. I mowed the lawn which took about an hour. Phew! that's hard work. Breakfast was a banana and a piece of toast, lunch was a subway pork roll on wheat with some salad, dinner was kangaroo steak and *gulp* takeaway fried chips. And you know what? They werent even that good. I would have been just as satisfied with roast vegies, but i was simply too lazy.

Sunday i had a work conference, so sat on my butt all day while the boy went to play gridiron. Unfortunately, during the first play he was tackled pretty fiercely and hurt his butt (hahah i know it sounds funny... but he hurt his tailbone). So he's a bit sore.

Breakfast was two pieces of toast, lunch was some mini party pies and sausage rolls (didnt have a choice - it was that or potato wedges or quiche) and dinner was 2 sushi rolls - one with tuna the other with beef.

Yesterday, i sat on my ass when i got home from work. I'm going to do a combat class at the gym tonight - so straight from work to gym, then home to do some more cleaning for house inspection/cook dinner/make lunches while the boy is at gridiron training.

Have a great week guys - goodluck... and THANKYOU

Men!!!

I hope your boy is ok! Sitting on his butt might be a bit painful though... is he milking the injury for all it's worth?

Men suck with their weight-loss abilities... my boy is desperate to put ON weight (6'2" and 64kg...) and he's joined my gym... the first week, he did his weights, and LOST 600g. I don't know how that works! Poor boy... he really wants to beef up a bit...

I wish my body would get rid of flubber that easy! But, we WILL get there, and we will be so proud once we do, because we know just how much damn work we've had to put into it!

Boys Suck

At least when it comes to weightloss. The same thing happens with my husband. Drives me nuts. It makes it really hard to stay motivated. That's why I love this place so much! Everyone's going through the same thing. Sorry you were disappointed in your weigh in, but don't give up! Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend and hope you have a great week. Are you selling your house? Is that why you had an inspection. That can be really stressful. Way to go if you're doing that AND dieting.

Boys suck

My boyfriend is desperate to gain weight as well, but as muscle.  He's been eating rubbish and not going to the gym and has lost FOUR KILO.  Of course, he's getting a bit of beer belly, which is inspiring him to work out more.

Hmph.

But it sounds like your weekend was great and way to go you for going to the gym on the weekend!!  I can't seem to get myself to do that (probably because my gym is in my office building!)

Attitude

Now that's the right attitude!  Yes, men are terrible for that.  All my hubby has to do to lose 20 lbs is to stop eating like a pig in the evening, and cutting out his after-dinner cookies.  That's it!  I don't even eat dessert, much less snack at night, and I struggle EVERY DAY!  Maybe if we took testosterone, but then we'd have beards, lose our hair, and think about sex all the time (LOL). 

Have a great day!
