Hi all
Well I am so happy to report that I got on the scales this morning and all the work this week has paid off I am down 1.6 kilo's

I am feeling alot better than yesterday, I don't know if it is because I have ajusted my eating or that I did not get up at 6.00am to go to the gym this morning (am going tonight instead)

Brekkie - 2 weetbix
Morning tea - yoghurt
Lunch - meat and salad
Afternoon tea- 2 boiled eggs - (yuk yuk yuk) have I mentioned I HATE eggs

Have not had dinner yet but is going to be fish and salad.

Hope you are all having a great day

Hehe. Congratulations on losing some weight! I love reading that people are successful. Makes me feel inspired! Keep up the good work. And good luck! (not that you'll need it...)

Hi All
Feels like forever since I have been here and it was only 3 days ago, Just had a flat out weekend.
The eating and exercise have been going well, had a bad dinner Saturday night but got up Sunday and back to eating well again.
Went to gym this arvo and trainer killed me, had a massive stitch and he thought that was good, meant I was working hard....omg I wanted to kill him!!!
Been browsing all your diaries and you are all doing so amazingly well, this site is such a great support, keep up the good work!
Goodnight

Day 21 (START OF 2008 LET'S GET IT POPPIN) WEIGHT 244.8 LOSS OF 14.2 LBS

Found my Cell phone, the people at the gym had it I swear I had called them and went up there twice before today and they told me they didn’t have it. I don’t know what made me check again today but it was somebody different at the counter and they said they found one and showed it tome and low and behold it was mine. Anyway while I was at they gym today I felt like I got real fatigued during the weights so I think tomorrow I wont be going to the gym to give myself a little recovery time. Plus I feel like im getting sick with all this up and down texas weather. But who knows we will see ill listen to my body.

Gym Thoughts:

Preplan what your gonna eat ahead of time because it is hard as hell to stay under 2000 cal a day by just picking up food and eating it even if it is healthy.

Day 22 (START OF 2008 LET'S GET IT POPPIN) WEIGHT 244.8 LOSS OF 14.2 LBS

Not to much to write about today other then I think I caught the flu, so I won’t be going to the gym tomorrow, and I didn’t go today. Man just thinking about going made me feel tired. It also appeared that I couldn’t control my eating today because I went 356 cals over but I guess that’s better then cheating and eating bad foods. Well hopefully tomorrow is a better day and I can get back on track.

Gym Thoughts:

No gym today you cant be productive coughing all over the place and getting tired quickly.

My Tip:

Plan for setbacks (this cold is a setback) while you are trying to accomplish your goals you have to plan for setbacks and don’t let it discourage you from your overall goal.

Day 23 (START OF 2008 LET'S GET IT POPPIN) WEIGHT 244.8 LOSS OF 14.2 LBS

Today Feeling way better probably could have made it to the gym today but wanted to take one more day just to have full recovery and be ready to go without relapsing, So I think im good now…… The only thing that is concerning me is my eating it going crazy but I know in order to get back to where I want to be a got to cut back a little which seems fucked up to me because it doesn’t seem like I eat that much anyway of well I guess calories don’t lie So I know what I have do but I just don’t want to. This is also the first week of this 10 week challenge they are having up at work everybody in it pays 5 dollars a week when they weigh in and at the end of the 10 weeks and at the end the winner gets all of the money and that’s by who loses the biggest percentage so that should be motivation enough right oh well we will see.

Gym Thoughts:

Didn’t make it today took an additional day of rest to recover from the cold will hit it hard again tomorrow?

My Tip:

Managing the food intake is hard, try and find filling food with fewer calories something that hard for me to do.
