2nd weigh in and back issues

So i lost 1.4kg's at my weigh in on monday thats 2.1 in 2 weeks... Super happy with that. Hoping to start exercising again soon but have been diagnosed with having a disc bulge and a protruding disc in my lower back so will be off to the drs next week to see what kind of treatment path to go down and what im allowed to do at the gym

A proud day

Super proud of myself today! I'm on late shift today so last night i thought i might go do the river walk in the morning. Waking up this morning i re thought the decision and decided to get back into bed instead, after laying back in bed for a couple of minutes, i thought to myself "really? Are you that lazy?" So i got back up threw on my workout gear and headed off to the river. 

The river walk is 7k's. I ran/walked it (alternating running .5k and walking .5k or so) it took me 1hr 3mins, I'm just so proud of myself making the decision to not be lazy and improve my life. 

Makes me in awe of the 2013 me who used to run the entire 7k, in 41mins! It reminded me if how hard i worked to get there. I have to keep reminding myself that i had to start somewhere back then and when i did i couldn't even run 250m and i was carrying about 7kgs less back then too! So i need to go easy on myself, it's not going to happen overnight but it will happen!

JUST BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF SUZIE!

weigh in day 6/3/09

Wow can't believe it's already march... weighed in this morning and was very happy with what i saw! i have lost 1.4kg this week (break through! lol) brings me down to 83.8... yes i broke the 83's am just hoping i can keep it up for the next week... i think the secret for me is the extra exercise, those xtra little walks to the shops or mums are what makes the differenc i think, i always seem to lose when i make the xtra effort to walk instead of drive! so yay for me! thats a total loss thi time of 3.2kg and a grand total of 15.4kg in the last year!

one of those weeks

Have had a really stressfull and busy week and have been not eating so well i have tried on occasions but sometimes things don't go as i'd like them too... will keep trying, i start belly dancing tonight am looking foward to it, though i am really tired!

exercise

did a 45 min walk with a friend today, every little bit counts!

Exercise

Am going to go to aqua aerobics again tonight, actually looking foward to it! lol and am going to walk to work this morning wich is about 4km's. Am starting Belly Dancing with some friends on the 11th Feb can't wait!

water aerobics

A friend called late this avo and invited me to go to aqua aerobics with her, it was late and i was cooking dinner and i didn't have a babysitter and i was just about to use all of these excuses but instead i made myself call a babysitter, hurried to cook dinner, got ready and went. I quiet enjoyed the class so i'm really proud of myself for not making the excuses and getting of my but and doing it! on another note i am going to a concert with friends on Thursday and have just lernt we are stopping at maccas for dinner on the way, i'm a bit nervous about how this is going to effect my weigh in esp the night before, but they do have salads and stuff so i just have to keep remembering that these things will come up all the time, they are a part of life and i need to eat well not just have "that special treat" everytime. I think im going to have a look on the maccas web site for the lowest cal/fat foods then i will be prepared!

WEIGH IN DAY IS TOMORROW

i just wrote a whole heap and it got lost somewhere, but here is the jist of it... Weigh in day is tomorrow and i'm a bit worried as we have had a bit of a bad eating week this week, we have been out a lot and it always seems to be at lunch time so i have had chinese twice this week and a nephews birthday dinner, i made better choices than i usually would have but not as good as they could have been. but im happy with that, every little bit counts. I have a wedding on the weekend and that is where i fail, when there is a heap of food up for grabs, i just find it so hard to say no! I am starting to realise that i have to start making the better choices i can't be somewhere and think "oh it's just a treat, just this time" and eat the junk and drink the 'full strength coke' and wonder why i'm not losing anything, i have to think that these situations are going to come up all the time and if i think like that i'm not going to lose anything. I am also trying to do, incidental exercise (like walk or ride to shops or work) i have done 2 walks this week approx 4km each. I'll be happy with any loss at all this week. so wish me luck for tomorrow...talk then!
