Fresh Start Feb

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 86.6kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 26.4kg lost

So, as I said last week, I started a detox. Well. That last until dinnertime - on DAY1!!! Yep, apparently I am NOT cut out for such a restrictive diet, even if it is only short term. The detox is apparently aimed at mums - but maybe not at mums who work full time, exercise 7 times a week, and raise 2 tornadoes (as well as a husband)? All in all it was an interesting experience, but something I would only try again if I was on a childless retreat on a tropical island!

So, I went back to regular tracking and muddled my way through the week. I know I had a few too many treats, and was 100% accurate with my tracking. My fitbit also stopped working for 2 days, so my fitpoints weren't even accurate!!

I lost 1kg, but I think most of that was fluid, and to be honest, it was gone after that first detox 'day'.

My biggest challenge at the moment is 100% mental. I am SO caught up by the number on the scale, that I just can't see past it. I know my body is changing, and toning, but my head just can't get past that blasted number. I so desperately just want to weigh 79.9 - I just want to see the 7 again!!! Hell, I'd just like to get back under 85 at this stage. 

It seems that even the tiniest of treats prevents me from losing weight. I don't know what it is, but I've never been the type to live on salad and fruit. I NEED treats, and WW's has typically been good for me in that respect. But my body is being a biarch at the moment, and throws an extra 200gms on everytime I LOOK at sugar. Argh!

*rant over*

February starts today, and so does Fresh Start Feb. My goal is to lose 2kg this month (there are 4 Mondays left, that's 500gms per weigh in). That will take me to 84.6 - back under 85 :)

Goals this week are:

2.6L of water a day

10,000 steps a day

7 workouts (walking/pilates)

Track EVERYTHING ACCURATELY

DETOX Day 1!

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 87.6kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 25.4kg lost

Yep, 2kg up in just over a week. Hoping some of it is water retention from TTOM and a couple of wines on Saturday night.

This probably goes against WW completely, but today I started a 7 day detox. Basically cutting right back, and then slowly reintroducing food groups throughout the week. The first 3 days are not much more than wholegrain oats, fruit, veges and then some rice on day 2 & 3. That's as far ahead as I want to plan right now!

I'm halfway through day 1, and so far, so good (easy to say that so early on)! I'm starting to feel a bit hungry (it's past lunchtime but I'm waiting for another staff member to come back so that I can heat up my lunch), I'm sure once I've had lunch I'll feel better. Dinner will be hard though as the rest of the family will be having something delicious, and tonight it's just veg for me....

I'm basically doing it for 2 reasons. 1 - to prove that I can, and 2 - to try and drop some of the bad habits I've picked up since the beginning of December. I'm hoping to do a bit of a reset on my relationship with food, as such.

I'm planning to blog each day for the detox, because I think it's important to record how I feel as I go through the process - it's very much a mental game, this weight loss business!

Wish me luck!

Everyday I'm strugg-a-lin'

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 85.7kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 27.3kg lost

I don't even know what I weigh. I was at a STS on Sunday morning before birthday dinner on Sunday night and then the pre-TTOM madness of the last 3 days.

This week is meant to be my reset/set up week - I've bought I shiny new WW tracker book, and am planning a short detox starting on Monday. I've got my exercise under control, and I'm feeling really good about that, but my eating is just RIDIC at the moment.

Monday was my birthday, I didn't go crazy, but I did have cake. Tuesday & Wednesday were not my birthday, and I DID go mental. Cakes, hot chips, slices, pastries, pizza, ice cream. You name it, I probably ate it.

BUT, it was only 2 days. I can get back on track. I know I can. So far today I am doing well - but it's not even lunch time!! I've had a smoothie for breakfast and a scone and some cherries for morning tea. I'm going for a walk at lunchtime, and will pick up some cold chicken and I've got some wholemeal wraps in the kitchen here at work. Planning is key!!

My goals for 2016 are:

Get to 75kg

Only weigh twice a week

Do 4 walks & 3 pilates sessions each week

Track EVERYTHING & do it ACCURATELY

Stick to non processed foods whenever possible

Drink at least 2 litres of water every day

Goals this week are:

2.5L of water a day (all 3 days so far)

10,000 steps a day (all 3 days so far)

7 workouts (walking/pilates) (so far 3 walks and 1 pilates)

Water, water, everywhere - DRINK IT ALL!

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 85.7kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 27.3kg lost

So, a week back on plan (with a couple of teensy slip ups) and I've lost a kilo! Goes to show, that even for a WW veteran like me, the plan works when you stick to it.

I really increased my water intake this past week. Before Xmas it dropped off, and over holiday break it was almost non existent! But since Tuesday last week I have been drinking between 2 and 2.5 litres a day. I do this with a couple of 750ml bottles, plus 3 herbal teas a day (no sugar!). I did bloat up for a few days, but since yesterday I think my body has started to even it out.

I did struggle with the water intake over the first couple of days, but now my body craves it. I'm less lethargic, and my skin is clearing up too. I measured my tummy before I started the increase, and will remeasure after a month to see if it's made any drastic changes in that area.

Other than that, I am loving summer fruit season - stone fruits and berries are my favourites, so I am in fruit heaven at the moment! And I feel a bit smug every time I choose fruit over chocolate ;)

Current Weight: 86.7kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 26.3kg lost

Yep, I gained just under 3kg! I'd say (and hope) a fair bit of that is fluid retention from crap eating and drinking, fingers crossed with a bit of willpower I can get back down soon enough.

I had some pretty trying weeks with my personal life, and food became my comfort (as always). I still exercised, but it did drop off a bit. The good news is I realised what I was doing and took control over Christmas - only gained about 700gms in the 2 weeks we were away.

We got back from holiday on Sunday, so Monday, being weigh-in day, was the perfect day to re-commit to the plan. I was a good girl  yesterday when we did the groceries for the week, and bought healthy snacks and wraps/ham/salad to bring to work for lunch - I've been a shocker about buying lunch since I started the new job!

Yay, finally a loss!

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 83.8kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 29.2kg lost

Week one, done! And I lost 1kg!! I'm sure it could have been more. but I fell off the wagon a wee bit towards the middle of the week. I ended up eating all of my weeklies, but none of the 50 points I earned from exercise, so I guess it balanced itself out!

This week started off not too awesomely. I ate WAAAY too much on Monday and yesterday. Need to reign it in for the rest for the week if I'm going to lose another kg. 

On the upside, I found an awesome workout on YouTube last night, which was a Pilates/HIIT Cardio combo - and it was awesome! Kicked my butt too. So hoping to do that and maybe one or 2 others, so that I do at least 3 a week. I know that I REALLY need to amp up the exercise if I'm going to get to goal sometime before I die. I did it on the big TV in the lounge and it was great, and hubby has told me to make time for it each night - as in he will give up TV time while I exercise (shock horror).

Trying to keep the water intake up too (at least 2l a day) and keeping my steps over 10,000 (not easy when it's crappy weather, that's for sure).

Goals this week are:

2L of water a day

10,000 steps a day

Losing the last 10kg - back to good ol Weight Watchers!

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 84.8kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 28.2kg lost

Right! I've been faffing around for a few weeks, with no real sense of direction, apart from knowing I want to lose weight. My motivation has been swinging between amazing and non-existent, and the scales have been up and down like a yo-yo!

Top that off with an epic binge drinking session at our local Business Awards on Friday, and the not-so-epic bloat that followed, AND the realisation that Christmas is a mere month away!  

Weight Watchers obviously tapped in to my subconscious and knew the right thing to say, because last night I got an email from them promoting the new changes that start next week. Well. I am a SUCKER for shiny new things, so with the bonus month thrown in on a 6 month plan, I was hooked.

So with a few clicks, I re-joined WW as a paid member. Only online though, as I don't have enough spare time (or $$) to attend meetings!

I lost 30kg with WW last time, and got down to 4kg away from goal before getting preggers, so really hoping WW is my saviour again and can help me shake 9.8kg, and teach me how to maintain, before my 7 month plan runs out!

I had already been really good with food yesterday, so today is officially day 2. I am going to work my butt off to get under 80 by Christmas!!

Yep, I Gained.

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 85.3kg

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 27.7kg lost

Yep, I weighed, I gained and I owned it. I knew I would be up - the combo of antibiotics, painkillers and comfort food were never going to let me off lightly. I am hoping that some of it is water weight and will come off quickly, but the scales have been acting like a yo-yo so far this week.

I had big sook about it this morning and had a sausage roll and rice bubble slice for breakfast. I then gave myself a big (mental) slap and reminded myself that that was certainly NOT the way to go about losing weight!!! I can still save the week and get a loss on Monday, but not by eating that rubbish.

My exercise has been sporadic too - only 2 walks this week, thanks to teeth/weather/work, but about to go for another one, so I guess 3 isn't too bad in the grand scheme.

I also have a new Christmas goal. It was initially 76.7, but the last couple have weeks have meant that that is not healthily possible, so I will be happy with 79.9 (officially in the 70's) by Monday 21st. So 6 weigh ins to go and 5.4kg's to lose. It'll be hard going, but I REALLY want it (sooooooo badly).

Next Mini Goal: 30kg - 2.3kg to go!

On a good roll, and soooo close to 30kg!!

Goal Weight: 75kg
Current Weight: 83.7
Started my journey 01/09/14 - 29.3kg lost

As I said, I weighed in a day early this week as I knew I'd be drinking on Sunday night - a lovely loss of 600gms! It's coming off at a nice consistent rate at the moment, which is making me happy. I feel like I am on a good run at the moment - 5 losses in a row :)

I'd love to get under 83kg on my next weigh in. It will be the end of my latest 12 week challenge, and while my original goal for it was to get under 80, I faffed around for 6 weeks and lost bugger all, so I'll just be pleased with a decent comeback for the second half. If I get to 83kg it'll be a loss of 5kg in 12 weeks - not my best result, but better than putting on weight! Will be interesting to see what my measurements are too - I'm in smaller clothes than I was a few weeks ago :)

I think I'm going to take a break from the paid challenges until the New Year now, but I still have one going with some mummy friends that finishes on the 21st of Dec, so I have that to motivate me. It'll be weird not checking in with my trainer each Monday like I have been doing for 36 weeks, but extra money is always needed around Christmas time!!

On the NSV side, I bought a size 12 pair of jeans on the weekend - and they fit! So that was pretty damn exciting. When I was at my lowest pre-pregnancy weight I could fit a size 10. I still have the jeans from back then so when I can (comfortably) fit back in to those I'll be stoked.

Big push this week to drop the booze bloat, and get under 83kg by Monday (well, ideally by Saturday because 83kg is my end of October goal weight!)

Oooh and I almost forgot - hitting 83kg will take me to 30kg lost!!!

Next Mini Goal: 30kg - 0.7kg to go!

I'm angry!

Goal Weight: 73kg

Current Weight: 90.3

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 22.4kg lost

I'm angry at myself, and I'm not even sure it's justified. Current weight is 90.6 - 700gms since last WI, but only 300 since my pledge to get into the 80s (which I made to myself on Tuesday). I'm really angry. I eat below my kj allowance every day, last week I did 4 walks, a strength session, and a pilates class. I had 1 bad food day (Friday), but was still under my allowance. And I lose a measley 300gms?!?!? I don't know if I'm in a plateau, if it's because I have a cold, am I not eating enough, or should I be having salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

I know 700gms is good, but 400gms of that was lost overnight on Monday, so would have been TTOM related, and the other 300gms I had to work my butt off for. I'm angry because I don't know why it's not coming off in bigger amounts - I've got too far to go to only lose 300gms a week!! 

And that means I've only lost 3.4kg in 6 weeks - 1/2 of my 12 week challenge - not good enough :(

On the postivie side though, I did my 1/2 way check in for my challenge - my measurements have slightly improved.

In 6 weeks I've lost

2cm from upper arm

1cm from bust

Breaking it down (and no longer MIA)

Goal Weight: 73kg

Current Weight: 91.3

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 21.7kg lost

Sorry I have been a bit MIA - work has been mental, and that is where I usually write my blogs! Junk Free June is going well - just under 1 week to go! I'm feeling really good as a result, and definitely less bloated.

No loss on the scales this week, but no gain either. Last week was TTOM and I was up 1.2kg during the week, so was actually quite happy to not have a gain on Monday morning! I have since lost a bit, but will keep that for my official weigh in on Monday - I'm hoping to make it a good one! I've lost 2.6kg over the last 4 weigh ins, which is a good average. I need to step it up a bit if I'm going to get to my 12 week challenge goal though. 7 weigh ins to go, 5.3kg to challenge goal, so around 750gms per week. If I chuck a few big ones in there over the next month it'll help out towards the end.

On the 2nd to last week of the challenge we are going to Canterbury for the weekend, and that'll be a big test for me. I always drink & eat heaps when we are with the in-laws, but I honestly think my willpower is at an all time high at the moment, so I may just be ok. I will still have a wine or 2 with my MIL, but just need to ignore the chippies that go with it, and track, track, track (oh, and try to keep up my exercise while away!

14 Losses in A Row!

Goal Weight: 73kg

Current Weight: 91.3

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 21.7kg lost

Pretty good week with a 900gm loss :) That brings me to 14 losses in a row! This girl is on fire! AF is due in the next couple of days, and I'm already feeling bloated. Hopefully the damage is minimal and shortlived so that I can have another good loss on Monday. I'm starting to get so close to the 80's - I'd love to be there by my last WI for June (2 weeks to go). Even if it's 89.9!

My exercise wasn't awesome last week - only 3 walks and no strength sessions. Need to do at least 4 walks this week, plus my 2 strength sessions, and I'm doing a skype pilates class on Thursday night (my first ever skype class - quite excited!)

Also, I'm at the halfway mark for JFJ! This week will be the hardest, with AF on it's way. I've come this far, I'm sure I can make it through. I'm armed with peppermint tea, nuts and porridge. Send me your "you can do it" vibes please!!

Next Mini Goal: Goal Weight End of June/15kg lost this year - 1.2kg to go

JFJ and I think I finally have a goal!

Goal Weight: 80kg?

Current Weight: 92.2

Started my journey 6/01/15 - 13.8kg lost in 2015

Week 2 of JFJ is underway, and going well so far. Had a wee slip up yesterday, but it's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I've noticed that my appetite is shrinking too - I'm not eating as much for my main meals, and snacking a bit less too - but not leaving myself hungry (I can't live like that!).

I think I've decided I my goal weight will be 73kg. Random number right? It's a kg below the top of my HWR, and it would signal 40kgs loss since late 2014. It's a long way in the future, as I have only lost 21kg of that 40 (did I just say ONLY 21kgs??), but at the moment I feel confident I can get there.

But to break it down I have mini goals along the way - every 5kgs are the main ones, but also each decade,  pre-pregnancy weight (86), and surpassing my lowest ever (78). Mini goals are so important!!
