Checking in - Gym membership, weigh in, and more!

Hi All!!

Well, i haven't posted for a little bit so i'll get you up to speed. I weighed in on Sunday:

Previous weight: 87.4

Current weight: 87.9

WHAT! Okay so before you all freak out - here is my thought process. I had fish and chips the previous night (not the total best choice, but i did have a small serving with a bit of salad too) - and that is very salty. I did drink a whole lot of water the day before so i thought it may have been water rentention.

Yesterday, i joined the gym! I got a 3 month membership (and then you get 1 month free). It cost me $285, but its something i can afford to do now, before i start being a poor uni student. This will get me through till May. I can do all their classes as well, so i'm going to put it to good use!

So i went to the gym yesterday as well and did 20 minute 'weight loss' program on the treadmill (or as fitnessista says: the revolving apparatus of death! hehe). Then i did half an hour on various weights, and then did another 5-10 mins on the eliptical. Was pretty dead after that, i have to say.

Now, i did jump on the scales yesterday too - and it was 86.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, dont let the exclamation marks fool you - i'm not getting too exciting YET!

I will save that for next weigh in day!

So this is my exercise schedule for this week:

Monday - Gym session (cardio + weights) DONE

Tuesday - Boxing class - sisters gym

Wednesday - Gym session - 30 mins cardio

Thursday - Zumba class (60 mins)

Friday - Wii Yoga (20 mins)

Saturday - REST

Sunday - REST ( maybe Wii?)

Yes, as you can see i'm trying a boxing class tonight. Boxing has always been my favourite activity on the wii, and wanted to try a proper class out. I just think of all the people that think i can't do this and kick them in the gut (in my head of course). I'll let you know how it goes!

Btw - just before i go, i wanted to let you know, i put on my jeans (that i wore all the time before i started losing weight) and they were loose! Had to keep pulling them up every 2 seconds! yay!

Start of my weekend!

Just a quick entry!

I stayed at my sisters house yesterday to look after their house while they're away for a couple of days. I bought some yummys for dinner and this is what i ended up with -->


It was delish - just some egg coated Barramundi, with some stir-fried broccoli and garlic. All with a drizzle of lemon.


Well, being in a house away from yours takes you out of your little safe haven i have at home - hardly any junk food i can get my hands on! Haha. However one of my sisters neighbours brought round 6 Krispy Kremes as a gift! I was like WHAT!? I obviously have not eaten any, but it feel that life, once again, is wanting to rub it in my face of all the yummy things i cant eat just yet.

Don't get me wrong, i am not denying myself any yummy foods - i have had a piece of chocolate here and there, but occassionally in my head, i know i should not eat something - and when i have that internal battle, i know that i have to resist! I've come too far!

Didn't do any exercise last night, as wasnt at home to jump on the Wii - plus it was stinking hot last night! But i am going over my dads today to have a swim in the pool. Then tonight, when i'm back home, i will jump on the wii!


SO thats the plan people! Watch me stick to it!

I also just did my resolution/goal board last night, once i'm home, i'll post it for you all to see!

Sweaty!

I'm writing this to you all sweaty and hot from a Wii Workout! I burned 218 cals tonight. I was sitting on my bed feeling pretty sorry for myself, so i thought i would do something about it!

I feel better now i've done something because i've had a couple of days off because of my feet. I went to the doctor about it today and i think he had no idea what it was!? He thought they both may have been sprained??? hmm... he doesn't think its a clot, but feels he has to rule it out so he's sending me for a scan or something. He reckons i shouldn't exercise for 2-3 weeks and wear flat shoes.... hmmm. Don't think i can do that. Well, i'm going to see how it goes anyway. My feet look like they have pretty much returned to normal now anyway. I'll see how work goes tomorrow and decide whether to get a second opinion.

Food wise was okay today. I did go over my sisters place for lunch. We had roast beef with veges, and fruit salad with custard for desert. Calorie King said that the meet had 10.6 gms of fat and i put down a tablespoon of olive oil too, as it was roasted and it said 18gms of fat!!! eek. Said my total fat intake was 61.4! The curry i had for dinner was supposedly 19.6gms of fat, however don't think that was completely accurate because the curry was homemade. I know it would have had fat in it, but probably not that much!

Tomorrow is a new day. Back at work. Its Christmas time and hopefully its a bit busier. Tomorrow night i want to be back on the Wii, maybe do some Yoga also. I'm at a different shopping centre also, so new food court. I know there is Sushi there - so thats always a good option.

However, there is Maccas there too! Sometimes when i'm tired from work, that when i feel like getting some junk food - especially something like maccas chips or a cheeseburger. Its funny that i'm noticing a pattern of when i crave that food. Maybe because i'm tired, i just want a quick fix or think it will make me feel better quickly. I'm starting to realise i have to use other ways of making myself feel better than eating junk! So far i haven't given in to my typical junk food fixes. I haven't had any starburst for afternoon tea, or fast food meals for dinner! I do feel better i guess! It is hard, but it will just take a bit of time for me to stop craving that sort of stuff and forget about it!
