Loserville Challenge 3 (CLOSED GROUP)

I'm using a 2kg weight.

Thank you Courtney! I've been for a swim and feel like today will be another god day! Have a lovely cruise, hope the sun shines wherever you go!

I'm putting swim down as my 'new exercise' today as I haven't been for a swim since the 6th of July (I just looked that up!) ... about the same time I stopped losing weight! Man, it was hard this morning, but I swam 1km. I'm happy with that, and plan to swim every wed morning from now on.

Claire - iIperfer a weighted bar fro my 21's Mine Is 8 pounds I think. I use a 10 pound one when i gdo them at the gym.

Rach - glad your swim went so well. i would liek to get back to swimming as well.

Tami - i hope you feel much better today!!!

Today is my lsat day loggin beofre teh cruise. I have kicked butt at teh beginning of the week so the end won't be so bad. But I plan to be active on the boat, swimming, hopefully snorkling, walking around Nassau, dancing in the club and maybe even hoping on a treadmill. We will see. I plan to have tons of fun and relax.

Have a great rest of the week ladies!

****, I've been crap! I've been good with regular exercise and stuff cos we have the Wii, but I've been so busy this week running around helping my sister out and rehearsing for this play.

Jenni I promise I will try to play catch up and will duly fill out the spreadsheet by Monday!

Don't worry Jen, we all have days like that. :flowerforyou:

I have so much to do today, I can't even tell you. It's kind of my own fault though as I should have started doing what I needed to at the start of the week rather than yesterday. I have a guy coming out tomorrow to update my fuse box and also check all my plug points. This means that I have to move everything away from the plug points for him to be able to get to them. This includes, the fridge, the oven, my wardrobes and a million other things. At least I'm going to log some good calories in my exercise log today. I guess there's always a silver lining.

There is just no way I'm ever going to eat my calories today. I've spent 6 1/2 hours today cleaning and going through stuff in the flat. I am shattered to be honest. Time for bed I think.

Hope you girls are all okay. Keep up the good work

Jen - Keep your chin up. I hope things get easier for you soon. *hugs*

Hi ladies ... my good intentions went off track ... I had 3 good days, and then 2 bad days, not terrible though I don't think, though I didn't log my food yesterday. I think a bit of hynotherapy would do me good! I'm off to rethink and reset some goals .... I'm thinking of having a star chart like the kids, like I get a star for every 4 consecutive days on track, as 3 seems to be my limit, once I get 10 stars I'm going to have a treat ... maybe a fancy spa massage or something!

Have put together our recumbent bike and had a ride. Seat is certainly more comfortable, getting use to new position for pedalling. Wore HRM which recorded a much lower calorie burn then bike said. Did program 8 (fat burning) was darn hard so thats good. I guess.

Tomorrow going to listen to writer Alexander McCall Smith on the break down of values in society. I have only read a couple of his No 1 Ladies detective series and really enjoyed them. Saw he was speaking, never been to this sort of thing before so why not. Had to settle for a seat with limited viewing which i figure doesn't matter since I'm going to "listen" to him.

Rach, I'm here for you. I know how you feel it seems I have good days and very very bad days. I start the week well. Guess i should call monday, motivated monday. Today is a public holiday, husband having a sleep in, its cold and overcast, would have been very easy to stay in bed. BUT yesterday my weight loss was 0. ok its not a gain but we are all here to lose.Having gotten up to let the cat out I went back to bed attempting to go back to sleep, but then I thought no bugger it. I got up pulled on my exercise clothes and went down to the treadmill. I went to set it for 30min and then decided that I can walk for 60min so did it. I don't think exercise is my problem, I walk everywhere I can, now using the exercise bike as well.

So its what we put into our mouth that we need help with. I solve everything with food, I reward everything with food, I heal everything with food, I comfort everything with food.

I/we need to change these habits. I know that you are like me and try to tend to eat as healthy as we can. I know I have to get back into planning better. Yesterday on the way home from being in the city, we had Hungry Jacks. Why, my reasoning, was we could get vegetarian and it was cheap. Ok a treat now and then shouldn't matter, but I know my now and then is more often then it should be. Today I am going back into the city, (again to listen to Alexander McCall Smith), so i am going prepared will pack snacks and i can wait till I get home to eat a meal. If I am too tired to cook when i get home we will just have to have one of those vegie hotpots I have frozen. And then I hope to have another 30min on the bike, being new it is a novelty I am going to work my way through all the programs. So that is my plan for today and now that I have told you, I have to stick to it. What is your plan for today?

This is our 1234 week. Not sure yet what I will do.
Maybe 1. is take 1 day at a time and plan my day at the start of each day. Plus try to get to 1 class.
2. double up my intentions. double last weeks calorie burn, that would be 6,234 so may need to think of something else
3. 3 x 1hour walks
4. 4 x 30min on bike.

Ahh yes and my 1, 2, 3, 4

1. 1 x 1km swim (wed)
2. 2 x 10km bike rides (sun)
3. 3 x 30 day shreds
4. 4 x planned lovely dinners (tue, wed, thur, Fri)
