No more excuses.

Feeling.... fantastic and thin :)





 

Back to these video blogs :)

So I am losing this weight again and slowly. I haven't really noticed until the last few days where my clothes are getting loose again. It's a good sign but also annoying. I am hoping I can keep losing this weight and finally get to my goal weight. I am still enjoying my life and going out every weekend but so many different choices in what I eat rather than just takeaway food. I have also started jogging on my walks and it feels really good, so going to try and keep it up.

So I didn’t write about what happened at last weeks weigh-in because I gained 600 grams :( I know in the last few weeks I haven’t exercised like I was secondary to wet weather. And I didn’t make perfect food choices :( But I weighed in today and I had lost what I gained last week and another 400 grams. I just hope its not only because I didn’t eat a proper dinner last night (only had a tub of yoghurt). But saying that last weekend I had a few too many cocktails and finger food at a party. And a little bit too much chocolate cake all week. But I guess I am still trying my best. So I am now at a total of 2.9kg lost :) I don’t feel like I have lost that much but some people have commented about the weight I have lost again.

I am currently suffering from anxiety thanks to my ex who within less than a month and a half has started seeing somebody new and told me last night. So no appetite, nausea and poor sleep currently being experienced. Trying to have a smoothie for breakfast this morning rather than not having anything which I would prefer.

Off to a BBQ with friends today and I am going to make a chickpea and avocado dip with vegie sticks and some GF crackers for the nibbles.

Time to be Jessica :)

So had a little hiccup over the weekend with some bad choices and not thinking when I was eating. But back to work and back on track. Loving hommus and vegie sticks.

Well today was WI day again and down 600grams :) So that is 2.5 kg in 2 weeks. Once again this week I still allowed myself chocolate, ice cream and had about 4 meals out. I wasn’t as hungry this week and feeling satisfied with what I have been eating. Have to admit I didn’t exercise enough this week due to the poor weather we have had, but when I had time and the weather was okay I did manage to walk. :) But now its time to go out again… my life is so busy. But that’s how I like it

Well I have to say I am quite surprised with my week 1 results. I lost 1.9kg. So for a week where I still had fish and chips, cake and biscuits. I managed to still lose a decent amount. I don’t expect to lose that much every week but definitely made me feel good to be back on track. I really noticed how much extra high kilojoule foods I had been eating without realising it. Currently having a lovely berry smoothie for breakfast for only 3pp. I am meant to be going out for lunch today and possibly dinner. But that what live is like when you have a social life again. I know to make healthier choices. I also will go for a walk this morning to make sure I still get to exercise!

I joined back to WW. Its time to get this weight loss going again. Managing to maintain my weight has been good but now its time to get my health back on track! I know I exercise enough but can’t say I have been making the best food choices. So now its time to be accountable to get my head back to healthier choices rather than convenience. Have been through a lot in the past few months… from not being about to eat due to stress/anxiety causing nausea. Then to some comfort eating at times. But now I have time for me again. I can cook meals for myself and not be influenced by other people. While I don’t care how much more weight I lose I just want to be healthy and happy. I am happy and I am not losing this weight to make myself attractive. Because I know I am and I am who I am and if nobody likes that then that is their own problem.

Today I went to buy some new joggers as my old ones are too heavy for the activities I do these days and now a good 4 years old. They also are not very good on slippery surfaces. So finally got my act together and went to buy some new ones, since I am climbing a mountain tomorrow. So I went to good old athlete foot as usual so I can get a good fit. And came out with a new pair of sexy joggers that really support my poor flat feet. But these lovely expensive shoes came with a free heart rate monitor. Just when I was thinking about buying a new one again. This one doesn’t monitor your average heart rate or calories burned but I can see what rate I am working at. So now this is telling me to get my butt in gear again and start working out properly. I love exercise especially walking so now to work at my fat burning rate all the time!

So over the past few months I went off the rails a little watching my weight but saying that I didn’t go overboard. I still exercised regularly and ate fairly well. And I have to say when I did hope on the scales I managed to maintain my weight within 1-2kg. I think that is a massive achievement to maintain my weight. But now its time to finally achieve my goal weight. So I am going back to weighing regularly and watching what I eat but not to the obsessive about it by counting calories etc. I have had some changes in my life recently which has showed me I am the most important person. I do not need to deal with other people’s problem when I have my own. So time to look after myself. So people might think I am doing this for other reason but no I am doing it for myself. I need to be health and happy. I know I will never be skinny but I need to at least look after myself. So here is to the weight loss journey starting again. I can do it and I don’t care how long it takes because I have found the slower I lost the first 20 kg the easier I have maintained this weight!

The chances of an active Australian woman, (18 - 35 yrs) having the same weight, height, waist and hip measurements of a mannequin is 1.1%, and she has no chance at all of matching the measurements of Barbie.

I have been looking at If not dieting then what. It has really made me think a lot today about what I keep obsessing about and how it is making me feel. That is where the above stat/quote thing comes from.

I know I have lost weight and I know I will never be a skinny girl in a healthy weight range. But I can be healthy. I can exercise everyday and make healthy food choices rather than being obsessive about my choices.

This means I need to stop obsessing about my number on the scales. Yes I want to maintain it at least if not lose some more but I am not going to let it ruin my life! I have some very bad habits when I obsess. And now I need to not over think what I am doing. I need to listen to my body cues and make healthy choices. Not worry about having a bad day.

So in order to keep this process going in  my head I am going to invest in the if not dieting book and give it a read. All I need to be is healthy and love myself. And I have to say I love myself more than I have for awhile due to not having the pressure of needing to be perfect. And that has all been due to my boyfriend. He likes me just the way I am, with all my odd body shapes hehe.

So just a quick update. I have had a fairly quiet week. Really enjoyed having homemade soup for lunch and a yummy stew for dinner. Managed to lose 800g this week. So back on the right track. Just need to eat well this week. Anyway I am off to get ready to quickly look at the markets before having to go to a party

So this weeks plan is in action…. no real chances to eat out this week so I should at least be able to watch my intake! I didn’t have much luck over the weekend but saying that i didn’t over eat! I climbed the mountain as well which gave me this wonderful view….

Today I have eaten well and I believe I have been satisfied not over full. I really need to get back to this feeling of finding things to do and not eat when I am bored or see the food. Recording what I eat also seems to be helping as I am accountable. Did exercise today as the weather made me feel miserable and I am just waiting for my new game to arrive to keep me active.

I know I can be the girl I want to be… I know I will never be thin but I want to be healthy! I want to look in the mirror and still like what I see no matter what. I need to be careful as now my diabetes risk has double as my Mother has just been diagnosed with it last week. So now it is on both sides of my family!

Well here is another blog entry from me :)

So this week I was lazy in terms of really watching what I was eating until Thursday hit and I thought the only way I can lose this weight is by recording everything I eat. So for the past two days I have and its amazing to think what little extra things I was eating and how they would have impacted on my weight…. I really need to think more before I eat. I have a problem with boredom eating…… yes I admit it. So I weighed in this morning…. and I managed to lose almost the 700grams I gained last week. I lost 600grams! :) So that put a smile on my face as I am going back in the right direction.

So my aim this week is to keep tracking everything I eat when I can. I know this weekend is going to be difficult but at least during the week I should be able to. The thing I need to watch over the next few weeks is if I get the side effect of weight gain from starting the pill. I hope not as long as I watch what I am eating and try to exercise I should be good fingers crossed!

Well today I am off to climb a mountain haven’t climbed one in ages so its over due. Just hope the rain holds off a little :)
