Just did 20 minute interval training on my mini stepper while holding weights. Haven't used it for ages cause it sometimes makes an annoying squeaking sound but now it seems to be fine feel like I got quite a good workout, im all sweaty which is always a good sign! Watched Biggest Loser while doing it which helped keep me motivated
Gonna do my sit ups in a minute too. Really determined to drop a pound this week, might start measuring aswell.

congrats on kicking the sugar cravings... i still have to get to that point. salt and sugar. my enemies. have you lost any scale weight? just curious.... i know its harder for the ones who dont have much to lose, to actually LOSE weight.

Thank you! I kind of gave in last night when I was extremely tired and stressed, my weakness is biscuits because I can't just eat one! I'm not gonna bring any back to uni next week then I can't be tempted!
I have but it's so easy for me to put it back on, if I have one heavy meal it take a few days to get that off again. Its not necessarily the number on the scale that annoys me, just that I'm toning up and still have that pouch of fat that sits at the bottom of my belly. So as I'm toning my abs and they are getting bigger it looks like my belly is lol ah well I know muscle burns more than fat so hopefully it will slowly go.

Ok tonight's gonna be hard, been good all day but got a date tonight going to a bar when its all you can drink lol and I drank last night! And have only had 2 hours sleep in the 24 hours. Grr bodys gonna hate me tomorrow. It's a bit hard when your seeing someone though. Uni makes loosing weight so much harder, at home I can do it easily as it always a bit more structured whereas at uni I'm more likely to do stuff spur of the moment. Ahh well I guess I'll just try my hardest. Not long til I finish uni anway woohooo!

Ok havent been on in the past few days, been a very hectic week with an exam, assignment deadline and seeing someone new. Have drank alot, at quite alot and and haven't had much sleep, but tomorrows the start of a new week
Have signed up for a 2 week trial membership at Fitness First For Women near my uni, £27 for 2 weeks. Since I'm only gonna be at uni for about 3 more weeks I can see what its like and decide whether to join again when I get back. Gonna go every day if I have the time and have decided to try and cut out sugar.

So aims for next few weeks are:
To go to the gym everyday (excluding saturdays because I'll be back home)
Cut down on sugar (meaning chocolate, biscuits etc)

I'll weigh in next week and really wanna see it go down so this is my motivation!

Ok todays been good
Went shopping today stocked up on loads of fruit + veg etc, only unhealhy thing in my shopping basket was a pack of Blue Ribbons (chocolate bars with only 99 calories)
Been really ill the past few days like feeling tired, light headed and sick. People keep saying its maybe because I'm eating too little but I've eaten much more than I normally would this last week. Anyway have bought some multivitamins + iron just incase I'm lacking. If I'm not feeling really tired in the morning will do some exercise. Hopefully my gym membership comes through the post in the next few days!

Today I'm feeling a bit better. Just drinking a glass of prune juice as I'm feeling a tad bunged up due to my three day binge over the weekend.
Gonna try and eat mainly fruit and veggie's today just to refresh my system a bit. Have apples, pears, strawberries and lots of different veggies in the freezer
Gonna also attempt at least 20 minutes on my mini stepper if its still not squeaking!

My body has finally decided to relax again!
Whether it was the prune juice or the large amounts of alcohol I drank last night, I don't know. It's weird after I've been drinking I always wake up skinnier, you'd think it would be the opposite?
Yesterday I did really well in terms of food, had country crisp cereal, light choice's chicken and broccoli, and steamed veggies in honey mustard sauce. Then for snacks had strawberries, an apple and one blue ribbon (only 99 calories)

Today I've had weetabix with semi skimmed milk and a healthy living paella with chicken and prawns. Later for dinner I'll probably have a big plate of veggies or soup or something. Then munch on my apples in-between!
So glad I'm finally back on track and my gym membership should come any day which I will start on monday for 2 weeks!

Ate a chinese and drank yesterday but still woke up feeling ok
Had the chinese about 2.30 and then just had a few crackers and an apple in the evening as I knew I wouldn't be hungry
Think its this prune juice you know! Been drinking it for the past few days and I swear by it keeps everything working nicely :P

Hehe, you actually just get dehydrated from the alcohol, so you will weigh less. Nice to think of it as skinnier though

Ohh, I see! I like the illusion though :P
I've been doing quite well with my snacking recently, eating fruit if I'm peckish. Especially strawberries and apples.
Also discovered these new veg packs you can buy. Not sure if McCain's is just an english brand but they've launched a new express range which is veg you can microwave in 5 minutes and comes in a low fat sauce e.g. Broccoli, red peppers and soya beans in a tomato and herb sauce or baby carrots and green beans in a honey and mustard sauce.
I love them and they're so easy to make!
Still drinking my prune juice and adding apple juice, not too much. Just a little bit every day seems to make me feel better

Also went out for lunch today for a friends birthday to a traditional english pub. Was very tempted by a big roast dinner and chocolate fudge cake! I was strong though and had lemon and garlic chicken skewers with roasted vegetables and a tea afterwards Very proud of myself as I usually would have though ohh its a special occassion what the heck!
Have my last exam tomorrow and then I'm finished uni for the year! Gonna go and join the gym with my two week pass so hopefully this is a good few weeks.
I already know I'm gonna be drinking a lot, however lately I've switched from my favourite (cider) to a spirit and low calorie mixer. I know I should cut it out but after the next two weeks I'll be home and hardly drinking at all.

good for u... ur willpower needs to rub off on me

Unfortunately its not always like that, or I wouldn't have a problem!
Feel like I've lost weight this week though, been really good with my food. Todays normally my cheat day (or the point where I loose all self control day) but hoping it wont be too bad. Going to my friends house for lunch whos cooking an Indian meal which will end up being my main mean of the day. And despite the sauce it will be chicken and rice so its better than any silly takeaway I might of had.
Haven't joined the gym yet cause I've had a hectic week and also I'm a bit sunburnt which means when I move normally it hurts! So can't see me on a bike or elliptical just yet but think I've compensated by being really good with my food!

Im quite proud of myself this week.
Haven't overeaten since last Friday and won't be doing that today as I really don't wanna ruin my progress. It's strange though I've drank quite a lot this week (its my last two weeks of university) but it hasn't affected my weight at all which is good! Gonna weigh in tomorrow morning finally, haven't done it in ages since I always have a binge just before the weekend which is the only time I can weigh myself so hopefully I can finally change my ticker woop woop!
Hope I can make this last, going to tenerife in a month and would be great if I could reach or be near my goal by then.

Woohooo! Finally got to change my ticker after ages of not weighing myself. Gone down 2 pounds which is a relief. Think I'm one of them people who has to be careful about having cheat days as its extremely easy for me to put on weight since I'm only trying to loose a small bit. Gonna do my best this week aswell, I know I'll be drinking but I'll be really good with my food like lots of fruit and veg and try not to eat out very much.
So glad its finally changed Should be able to reach my goal now, go on holiday a month from today so thats a pound a week. I can do it!


P.S. Sorry I haven't had much time to post in other peoples diaries lately been a very busy few weeks, but will start again soon!
