lose weight

I dont have time for leisurely internet surfing these days! Work is a nightmare cos they had to make people redundant, and where as I am so grateful I have a job, I am having to take on the work load of the people who have gone – and not a chance of sneaking on the internet while I’m in the office.

I’m exhausted! No time for gym either – too many deadlines. Excuses excuses I know…

Just wanted to say hello and hope everyone is doing ok!

Goal weight loss for today – 2 lbs
Actual weight loss for today – 2.8 lbs

Not much over, but beat my goal all the same.

Me and three of my friends are doing like a mini ‘biggest loser’ do they do it based on percentage weight loss? Thats what we’re doing anyway.

So to celebrate, at the end (Fri 27th March) we are all going out for a (healthy!) meal together and the winner doesn’t have to pay!

I have lost 2% so far sine New Years Eve.

Have a good day : )

I was having a crappy day at work so was good to read them!!

So, I ate chocolate. Boooo! But the rest of the day all i’d eaten was lots of fruit, veggie sushi and a cereal bar so not that bad. Then veggie noodle soup stuff for dins.

I am going away for the weekend with my boyfriend to Liverpool – very excited! Although it will be a challenge to go for the healthiest thing on the menu each time we eat out – but I know how easy it is to order healthily so no excuses just cos im eating out a lot!

Oh, also very excited cos I have 2 weeks working away in London next month which is normally 2 weeks of lots of eating and no exercise, but we managed to find a hotel in our budget with a pool and gym. Yey!

Thats it I think – have a good weekend : )

3 of my girl friends have started diets in the new year – two of them are do low carb and me and another are just being healthy!

So anyway, we’re gonna track each others progress and see whose lost the most be my friends bday on 28th March!

I feel good about today – did have a small chocolate bar, but within my calorie limit for today and had loads of fruit and veggies.

Not been to the gym, but did have a tap class last night and show rehearsals on mon night which was lots more dancing. So not as bad as It could have been!

So aiming for 1 lbs a week for 10 weeks starting at 1 Jan. So goal loss for today (one week in) was 1 lb, and what do you know I actually did it! Yey!

Dammit, bored home alone ALL day with nothing better to do! So although I started off with fruit salad for breakfast and homemade veggie soup for lunch….

I just ate some Christmas chocolate and 3x cheese and crackers :( I know it could be worse though!

Seriously, we got given sooo much chocolate for crimbo, I could stock out a sweet shop for a month! (well not quite but you get the idea!)

It’s been a while since I wrote on this goal – been focussing more on having a great time with friends and family over christmas and I must admit, healthy eating went out the window completely!

I figure I put on weight in the winter ~ keeps me warmer ; ) then i’l lose weight by summer so I feel happier as the layers of clothing diminish!

I got a great book for Christmas, called ‘good girls DO swallow’ all about one girls battle with every eating disorder under the sun – overeating, undereating, gym addiction and general appalling body image. Its been quite insightful, and somewhat of a comfort to know i’m not alone with the distorted opinion I have of myself.

So for me, 2009 is all about not depriving myself, but eating healthily, exercising regularly and generally trying to be a lot happier in my own skin!

I only really want to lose 10lbs, then I would be really happy. I’m gonna try to do this my the end of March, then work on maintaining.

This is where I struggle! I’ve lost weight before, but just pile it right back on again!

Lots of new faces on here since I last wrote regularly – so good luck with all your goals guys, and all the best for 2009!

I’m sooo poorly – had to take today off of work! My first sick day since I started my job, I feel so guilty!

Food has been really random lately because of the festive season and therefore more meals out than often, because my oven broke for a while and now because I am ill.

I swear I must have lost weight just from blowing my damn nose so often. I’ve got through a rain forest of tissues. I feel repulsive right now, and my throat is so sore I cant eat anything too hard core. Good excuse to be eating ice cream though : )

I was fine on Tues, I even went to a spin class. I must literally be allergic to exercise – its the only possible explanation!

I’ve been considering removing this from my list. So i’m having a bit of a dilemma at the moment!

Not thinking of doing this because i’ve completed it or cos I cant be bothered, but just not sure ‘lose weight’ is really the right way to describe what I want to do.

What I really want to do is be healthy, tone up, exercise regularly and be really happy in my own skin. So although losing weight may come as part of that its not the main thing i’m trying to achieve.

I think I don’t like myself all that much, and no matter if I lose weight or stay as I am I guess I wont be satisfied until I learn to be happy in my head.

On the flip side, I love having this goal cos I like reading all the comments and stuff and all the support, so for that reason I wana keep it here.

Oh decisions decisions….

I did write out some huge post about weighing myself daily v weekly but then i re-read it and it was so pissing boring I thought I wouldn’t waste all your time!

Haha, dropped a lb this week. Slow. But no exercise apart from tap class – no gym any way, so guess I gotta be happy with that. Gonna try do some running tomor though – gotta get my ass into gear for the 10k I signed up for in May.

Almost a quarter marathon – wtf?! IDIOT!

Haven’t weighed myself in a few days. Too scared, cos i know i’l be devastated if i’ve gone up. I feel real gross at the moment.

My boyfriends having a really shit time at the moment with work and money worries so he’s really down. Only as we live together, his mood is having a bad effect on me too. So I guess I have been comfort eating a little, treating myself to chocolate and stuff when I wouldn’t normally.

I’ve eaten 1,500 today which isn’t as bad as it could have been i know. But I also know my body does not lose weight on that many calories.

Might have to step it up a level and cut out carbs in the evening or something. Dreading going out over xmas cos I know i’l feel really hideous compared to everyone else (same old same old!)

Anyways, today:

Special K & Skim milk, plum, pear, melon & grapes, 2x ham salad wholemeal rolls, snack a jacks, cereal bar, french oninon soup, chocolate bar.

I snack too much I know : (
