trials and tribulations.

Posted 02-10-2008 at 03:00 PM by PrettyPaula

I am seriously floundering. i have not lost a pound, ive gained about 10 in a 3 wk slot, whilst doing induction, and exercising (last 4-5 days!)

i know it must be because of quitting smoking.

that said, ive just viewed by "before" pics and some taken today (3 weeks later) there is not a single difference, in fact id even say i look fatter now.

i look so horrendous in a bikini i may have to cancel my holiday.

Doing good today so far.
My steak for lunch is in the oven and my dinner is planned in fitday. I figured that I need to be close to 1000 cal/day to keep on track with 2lb/wk weight loss.

My home scale was down 1 lb this morning. I did heavy cardio yesterday and stayed at 1000 cal yesterday.

I'll have to make sure I cook to have left overs to be able to bring a good breakfast and lunch to work. I can't eat the heavier stuff at night if I want to stick to that theory of eating most of your calories earlier in the day.

Did my cardio, 40min inclined...

Brainstorming

Posted 02-10-2008 at 12:11 PM by bav

Hi everyone, these are just some ideas of what I want to set up as rewards for getting to minor/major goals. :)

206 - Buy myself that travel coffee mug I've been wanting for the last 3 months!! (it's so pretty!)

199 - don't know yet for sure. Maybe get a new espresso machine? Mine is over 5 years old now.

192 (challenge with some ladies at work) - manicure/spa something :cool:

183 - Don't know yet

Goal (175) - New clothes (replacing EVERYTHING), get hair and makeup done -and- go on vacation somewhere!!! (Europe again I'm sure ;))...

YOU: Promoting Reading

Right now, children come home from their first doctor's appointment with an extra bottle of formula.

But imagine if they came home with their first library card or their first copy of Goodnight Moon?

What if it was as easy to get a book as it is to rent a DVD or pick up McDonalds? What if instead of a toy in every Happy Meal, there was a book?

What if there were portable libraries that rolled through parks and playgrounds like ice cream trucks? Or kiosks in stores where you could borrow books?

Darn, up a tad this morning. Only by 0.2 of a kilo. Still, I know I'm going down in size as my clothes are getting looser.

I wonder if I'm retaining water/dehydrated today. I don't think I got all my water in yesterday and felt very thristy when I woke up this morning. I didn't even drink a lot of tea or coffee yesterday. I may try weighing again in couple of days.

I also have to keep better track of my vitamins. Sometimes I'm not sure if I've taken them!

I need to ensure I add up a final carb count for the day, to eliminate any carb creep. (Perhaps...
