Bit by Bit

Well I guess there could be no more excuses. I had to do something, while I seem to have got back to the eating program, I still haven’t been exercising.

So while Saturday night I had 1.5 beers, some greasy food and half a piece of cake (Bec took the other half off me in an amazing display of discipline) and Wednesday night was curry with friends, this week has been all about hauling ass. Surprisingly, it worked!

I’ve never been motivated to exercise, I hate pain and perspiration and think that grunting and sweating is time that could be better spent nurturing your mind or belly. However, I understand that it is a necessary evil to lose weight and so I must worship at the altar of the treadmill, despite my inability to enjoy it.

I did 30 minutes of cardio on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. I also did weight Monday, Tuesday and Friday morning and skated for the whole session on Tuesday (2 hours). So all in all, I’m blown away with how much exercise I did.

I have to thank BMB for a bit of motivation too- Friday morning was particularly difficult, but he kicked me out of bed without a second glance. It’s good when tough love works.

Currently- 106.2 kgs

While the first two weeks were pretty easy- it’s so hard to slip back into old habits. It’s still too easy for me to make excuses to eat silly things because we’re away for the weekend, I’m tired, I’ve tried so hard.

I won’t go into details, but having a salad during the day is the killer- I’m used to something more substantial and that can throw me off. Although my biggest weakness is wanting to eat while I’m driving, strange I know, but I guess the car and junk food snacks are a connection I need to break.

The psych seems to be working.

Did I mention that I went to Adelaide last weekend and ate myself stupid?

Currently- 107.1kgs

Maybe starting this so close to my birthday, wasn’t a good idea. This week has not been good.

I’m happy to gloss over the fact I haven’t been to the gym, and the only excercise I did was skating training (2 hours) on Tuesday night. I’ll linger a little longer on the fact I’ve started seeing a psychologist about my lack of motivation, commitment and issues with food. (more…)

After regaining my whole weight loss (3 piddling kilos) of January to September 2007, in October to December 2007- I’m trying a different approach.

Strangely enough, I’ve been mulling it over for months- but it shames and disturbs me so much, I didn’t really want to put it online. Because then it is real, and public, and I’m accountable.

Which is a few of the reasons I wanted a diet blog separate from my personal one in the first place. (more…)

Back up to 115 kgs this week. I blame being to slack to walk, and BMB’s birthday.
Depression, work and weather have put the kybosh on walking this week and I’ve not been eating well at all.
There’s been a couple of FF afternoon teas, an afternoon at the pub, buckets of cake and ice-cream, and to top it off today, a pint of full cream milk and chocolate.

I’m spiralling and I need to get out of it - FAST!!
