Happy Friday everyone!!!
My week has not been the best food wise. :grumble: In fact, it's been horrible - I am on the wheat/sugar train again. I don't know what's wrong with my head, but I am having one sensible day and then blowing out for the next 3 days. Starting to really feel it around my waist, and plus with this week off weights (with this sore hand) I feel a bit lost. I've still gone for a walk every day, but that's it.
I managed to maintain at 62kg from September - December last year without too much problem at all. Then I went down a bit just around Christmas to 61kg but since January have really struggled since then and am now up to 65kg. Argh!!!!. I'm not sure if it's because I'm happy and in love and getting a bit complacent about it all, or just because I am addicted to wheat/sugar and can't seem to get off it (even though I am suffering the effects). Or because I'm out of control and being a glutton!!
Anyway, I had a serious talking to myself this morning, when I put on my skirt and it was a bit tight. I looked in the mirror and told myself that I need to break up with wheat and recreational sugar for good. It's been fun, but they are just not good for my health and wellbeing.
Hand is a bit better today, I've been icing it at night, should be ok for tomorrow - I have a hour session with PT doing weights.
Week 6 next week! We are almost half way through, but it's not to late to START!! I feel like I'm going backwards, but wake up every day with a renewed energy to make it happen!
Hope everyone has a good weekend

Friday of another week - gosh time seems to be absolutely flying.
Was thinking to myself that at the end of next week we're going to be half way through the 12 weeks. Wow - didn't we just start?
Hope your wrist is better very soon Skim. Wish I could help out with the wheat sugar issue - I have similar issues - like if there is a packet of biscuits I can't have one therefore it is better to have none at all as just one triggers all sorts of cravings - but for me this issue is only for sweet wheaty stuff - bread isn't the same at all - so it isn't the wheat by itself.
I saw mention of breakfast earlier in the thread - my favourite is bacon, eggs, tomato, onion and spinach (but hey I could eat this any time and be happy) or lately I've been making myself (if my daughter doesn't eat all the tuna first) a piece of toast, putting sliced tomato on it, then a tin of tuna (the little flavoured ones), then some cheese followed by some serious cheese melting under the grill so it's all gooey and bubbly - damn that's good.
Have a great weekend.0 -
I've been keeping up with my exercise (sorry about being such a delinquent poster - I'll try my best to better :blushing: )....almost to the point where I think it might be a bit too much.
I had a class yesterday where part of the workout schedule was 100 burpees - somehow injured my foot and now I can't do anything!! It didn't make it any better that even though I knew it was injured I returned for pump and combat classes (Yeah, silly, silly me!!)
I've iced it and kept it elevated and today I have it compressed but there goes the rest of my workout for the weekend.
My weight has been bouncing all over the place - it's as if it can't make make up it's mind (either that or I'm blaming my scales!!!)0 -
Great news about the new job Serenity and well done on maintaining your healthy lifestyle under that pressure.0

Good evening everyone!
I've had a good weekend. I was generally active all weekend, but I overate. Everything I ate was healthy though, so I'm not worried. I was just very hungry this weekend, not binging.
No sugar is doing me good, my tummy has finally deflated. I feel like me again! Dietician on Thursday. I can't wait!
I hope everyone is looking after themselves and had an awesome weekend. Let's kick goals again this week!0 -
Hi everyone!!
Sorry I was absent over the weekend, was really busy with one thing and another. Had some rope lights put in my kitchen under the overhead cupboards so that they shine down and light up the bench - super fabulous!! They look amazing, and at night I just leave them on and they light up my whole living area!! My kitchen/dining/lounge is all open plan. Plus make it really good for actually seeing what I am doing when cutting/preparing food. They look amazing, I should have had it done ages ago.
Anyway, I did a heap of cooking which I wrote about in the Week 6 chat thread.
Mon - I'm going to have to ditch the sugar this week. I feel horrible.
Week 6 chat thread is set up so I'm going to "unsticky" this one now.
