Courtney, you just take it easy. Don't push yourself too hard.
Big hugs Jenn, sorry to hear you're unwell, hope it passes quickly.
I finished work for the year today. WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
We had work christmas lunch today, which was lovely, but I ate too many chippies and nuts and drank a little more alcohol than planned, and so I'm over by 1000kcal, but remember I was 700 under on Monday ... so I'm actually only 400 over for the week, and I can easily balance that out with a good bike ride on Sunday! Anyway I'm feeling quite nice and toned from doing the 30 day shred, I really should have taken some measurements before I started it, but I think you'd have to shred forever to maintain it. What do you think? I've saved it onto an app on my phone, so I can shred anytime, anyplace, anywhere!
Well have a lovely weekend lovely losers ... I've got two birthday parties, and Lucy's first dance show this weekend. Sooo cute, and the show is just awesome, very impressed by the dress rehearsal!0 -
TOM arrived. I am super bummed. Probably won't be aroud much till Monday. Gonna spend the weekend hanning with hubby and being just as excited about Christmas as I have for teh past few weeks.
Keep up teh good work ladies and have a wonderful weekend!0 -
Courtney sending you big hugs. Feelings go out to you. Hang in there and stay positive good idea to focus on the joy of christmas.
Rach enjoy Lucy's concert. They are fun. I feel like I have been going to dance concerts all my life. oh i have.
Our dress rehearsal is tomorrow, had show run today with the 3 studios all combining. I work on the admin side of things so its a little different for me. Was way hetic when i had Samara to organise as well but now she has grown up and no longer does concerts. Now i just have to focus on assisting the principals and collecting money etc. Sssshh i actually enjoy helping out.
Have a lovely week end everyone.0 -
Big super huge hugs Courtney.
Just enjoy trying to make one! 
Have lots of Christmassy fun with your hubby.
I've had a fab weekend, drank too much alcohol, but think I'm under for the week, which is quite amazing, and thanks to my HUGE 45km bike ride today. The party food was remarkably healthy in my opinion. I have a full week of bootcamp ahead, it's going to be tough, but I'm looking forward to the challenge! Hoping the rubbish eating and drinking doesn't have too much impact on my ability to take part! I'm also planning to carry on with 30 day shred every day ... hubby came home from his big bike ride with a sore foot, and says he's not going to do his half iron man next week ... I'm not sure if I should talk him round or leave him be.
Lucy's show was very cute! She did a matinee and evening show on Saturday. The matinee she just watched the other dancers behind her, then in the evening she actually did a bit of dancing. It doesn't matter, they're only 3 and are just there to be cute!! All good fun!!
Have a lovely week ... shall we set our own challenges for the week again?
1. Bootcamp every day!
2. Under cals for the week, allow days to fluctuate
3. Two cups of green tea each day
4. 30 day shred every day
5. aim for 8 hours sleep each night
Happy last week of the challenge!0 -
Good morning ladies. Monday here in rainy stormy Sydney.
Gained 1.5kg in the last week and not at all surprised, if I am honest with myself. Eating badly and no exercise = weight gain. Did enjoy Christmas Party on the weekend. But that was NOT the only time I splurged on calories. I have even given up logging. I admit at this present moment I don't want to do this anymore. Yet I should. Just had 2 full days of rehearsals for dance concert. Had so many compliments on the weight I've loss. Which is great but when i know I could have done better, I inwardly shudder when I'm complimented. And this may sound strange but I'm tired of the focus being on how I look. I focus enough on it and I'm sort of tired of people commenting on it. What about the rest of my life and what I may or may not be doing or interested in. Does anyone relate to this or am I am being over sensitive? I did finally get some sleep last night, so maybe I will feel better when i am better rested.
Rach so glad Lucy's concert went over well. They are very cute at that age. We always open our show with a seniors number which has WOW factor and then the babies come out next and always get the biggest round of applause. They are so funny to watch. Some watch the others, wave at parents in the front row, look at their teacher in the wings, or will even do steps we have never seen before. Some actually do what they have been taught. Yesterday, one little one stood out to me so much, I went to her mum and said did you know she was a mini Lady GaGa. Once she was in costume and on stage she preformed. Can't wait to see her in the actual concert Wednesday night. We did have a grandma turn up with her little granddaughter at 3pm for the 10am rehearsal asking was she too late. Poor lady, I felt sad for her its hard when so many grandparents are left this task and often not all the information. The photographer was still there so I tried to make her feel better and get the granddaughter's photo taken. Then I had a teenager in tears as her split family had a had a huge fight and she had no money to pay for her costume. We just give it to them in this case, with a big hug. Do you have a photo of Lucy in costume you can share with us?
My first challenge this week is to get my head back in the right space.0 -

Evening ladies.
I've had a bad couple of days. I thought I was over the worst of my cold, but I feel bunged up and pretty crappy again. Just hoping that it'll pass as quickly as it's come back.
Courtney - Sending you big hugs. Hope you're okay. I can't imagine how you feel but I can only say that I'm sure your time will come and in the meantime, as Rach said, you can have fun trying.
Rach - Seriously well done on the bike ride and staying under your calories for the week. That's a great achievement!!
Jen - I feel your pain. I'm pretty sure I've gained this week from the last couple of days of making pretty bad food choices. I'll find out tomorrow when I get on the scales. I guess onwards and upwards (or downwards as we hope the scales go) is the way forward. Also I don't think you're being over sensitive. I get sick of it too. Whilst I know people are only trying to be nice by saying that they can see I've lost weight, I get to the point where it's too much. Every time I put weight on, I end up feeling like everyone is thinking that I've failed. I've even had people say to me, if they see me eat something that they think I shouldn't be eating... "Given up on your diet then?" It's so upsetting and annoying. I hope you feel better soon hun. I'm sending hugs your way.
I'll post my weekly goals up in the morning. I just want to see how I feel when I get up so I can work out how much exercise I want to set myself. Just hoping that this cold will go really soon.0 -
Not sure if this will work ...

Tuesday. Morning all. bad night sleep again, fell asleep around 4am and cat woke me at 7am grrrr.. I didn't have to be up early today. Today I will try to eat well and stay under calories. Will build in exercise as I feel better. Chores today should keep me moving. But i will try and find 30 min to do something that gets my heart rate up.
Rach, the link worked but I couldn't comment on the photos. She is so cute and obviously happy and excited. Great photos.
Whizzy, thanks your support helped me a lot yesterday. Understanding what I mean about comments on my weight loss.
Courtney, try and find 5min for yourself and take a break.

Hi lovely losers!
Three days of bootcamp and I'm aching! Had an awful evening yesterday ... stopped logging after I went 200kcal over, but it was worse than that. TOMs fault ... I wanted chocolate, but had turned it all into chocolate brownies, so chocolate brownies it was! Thankfully I'm back in the right head space now. I'm a bit fed up of trying hard and not losing. Still 79.5kg, which is what I was AGES ago ... don't know how long ago, and it's too depressing to have a look! It's a pain though as I thought I was pretty good at this weekends parties, and did expect a loss, but I suppose maybe it is a loss, just hiding behind TOM. And now I think all this weeks work will be put into counteracting last nights overeating grrrrrrr. Man this game is hard!0 -
Hey Rach don't be too hard on yourself I am sure you will be fine. You are working so hard. Your body can handle a bad binge and with TOM it's tough. Have had a busy day here so glad it's over. Not logging too tired and I don't want to know how much I went over. Good night to Rach and me and good morning to the rest if you 0
-
Hello Ladies. I am sort of on the rigth track. I have logged the last 2 day but I was grossly over, I did drink al my water and I have completed 1 30min work out. Maybe I will shread or do a yoga video tonight. I have a Dr. appt after work to find out why I have been so tired and then my yearly meeting with the financial advisor after dinner so we will see. I WILL work on some of the exercise challenges in my cube today. (capital letters.. I am tryign to convince myself.)
Rach- just keep truckign and I know you will get there
Jenni - i hope you have a good nights sleep and start thursday renewed.0 -
5 consecutive days of bootcamp, and I'm still alive! Though a little tired!! Hubby came along today, I think he secretly liked it .... I think he expected it to be easier!! LOL love it!
How we all doing? I can feel Christmas stealing my willpower a bit ... "ah well, it's Christmas" ... but I'm going to fight it ... onto level 3 of 30 day shred today, I missed yesterday (which should have been my last level 2) so I might do a consecutive level 2 & 3 shred session now!
It's my boys last day of school, and my girls last day at Kindy today, so exercise is going to be more challenging to fit in ... but I'm going to try ... mind you I fortunately still have the 'bootcamp for a cause' next week. Right best go shred before picking up my boy, only half a day for him today.0 -
Hey lovely ladies.
Finally my cold seems to have gone completely. I'm feeling so much better. I've been doing some really light exercise over the last few days as I didn't want to do too much and feel awful again.
Rach - I can't believe you've gone to level 3 of Shred! Be careful that woman doesn't kill you! :laugh: You really are such a huge inspiration to me. When I ready your posts about everything you've been doing it really makes me feel motivated to do something too. Keep up the great work, you're doing so well.
How is everyone else doing on the Christmas run up?0 -
I am not rocking this week. It's been a really stressful week at work but it is almost over. I am keep ing up with my water, I am logging but I've been over everyday and I am working on teh exercise challenges from last week. Not much other exercise getting done. I have gaind a bit since Thanksgiving. I am hoping to maintain 207-210 for the rest of the year.
We have a few gifts lef to purchase fro hubby's family then we are done. We are going to colonial Williamsburg this weekend and to see my Dad on Sunday. Christms Party tonight. it should be a lovely weekend.
Nikki- I am glad you are feeling better
Rach - you totaly rock. I agree with Nikki you are inspiring. Maybe my motovation is hanging out at your house.
Keep up the good work ladies 0 -
Just found it here Courtney, I'll put it in the post, it'll be there just after Christmas!
Pleased you're feeling better Nicki.
How's our lovely Jenn getting on?
I think level 3 of the shred is easier than level 2 actually ...
Well, I've lost some weight!!! Wooohoooo! Weighing in at 78.2kg or 172lb, really pleased. Plan is to keep on keeping on, and take as few days off as possible over Christmas and new year. I'm still 1kg away from my first treat, which is a facial ... be nice if I could still be a kg away after new year!0 -
Hey ladies!
I've been so ill with my tummmy since I got back from Egypt, it's not been good! However I got back on the Wii fit today and think I'm going to hit the gym again next week.
Hope you're all well and looking forward to the holiday season!0 -
Oh no! The Quality Street tin has found a way into my flat. This could mean bad things. :laugh:0

Hi all. Not doing to well. Found another pothole on my road to good health.No exercise and plenty of eating. Weight on again. Will not give up though. Its like the festive season is an excuse. Have to get out of this pothole.0
-
Keep your chin up Jen. We all trip over a pothole on occasion. Think of the positives... At least you recognise that you've slipped a little. I have absolute faith in you and if it takes you a day, a week or until the festive period is over, I know you'll pick yourself up and get right back on the road again. It might be a long journey but we're all here with you until you reach your goal.
Try not to beat yourself up over this. It only has to be a minor setback. Over the past few months, I've found this thread to be inspirational, watching all of you achieve great things on your weight loss/fitness journey. I hope you can take some of that inspiration from yourself and look at all the great things you've done towards giving yourself a healthier life.
We're all here for you. :flowerforyou:

Hello Ladies! I am back to work after a fabulous weekend. we went to Colonial Williamsburg...the capital of Virgina during the American Revolution. The town has been restored nad is a huge tourist area here. But in my openion it is still full of charm. The houses are decorated in 18th century fashion with wreathing of pine and fruit. We walked a lot and ate reasonably and finished our christmas shopping. Now I only have a couple of thinsg to buy fro Hubby.
I have a confession to make. I no longer weight 207. I uasually dont add weight when it comes back on b/c it is uasually off again with in a week. But right now I am bouncing between 211 adn 214 instead of bouncing between 207 and 210. I am havign such a tought time this holiday season. i got my blood test results back from my Dr. everything is fine. The dr is recomending a low fat. low card diet and exercise. I guess beign off track is taking a toll. If i don't fee less tired soon they will do a sleep study. UGH!
But anyways still in a lovely mood for the season. Still trying to get back on track.
Becci- sorry you have been sick sicne egypt. I hoep you are feeling wonderful by Christmas weekend or sooner
Rach- i will be looking out for that package. Thanks!
Jen - I am haning out in your pothole but I know if we work togehter we can climb out.
Nikki - enjoy your treats and burn them off 0 -
Still struggling but I'm at least trying. I have changed my profile to maintenance just to get me through this silly season. Have had to come into the city of temptation. Samara has strained her intercostal? Between her ribs. Hurts to breathe and move. Lucky she was able to see her physio who has her taped up so it doesn't hurt as much. 3 weeks rest 6 weeks to full recovery. She is devasted too long for a dancer and she had her training program mapped out ready for the early round of auditions next year. Still she may heal quicker. So keep changing plans fir Christmas as time flys by. It is no longer important to clean windows or even floors. I will do well to have food in the house. It's only us and my mum thus year so nice and relaxed. (I hope)
Did the c25k last night and exercise bike this morning thinking I will walk to central station tomorrow to get train home that's about a 30 min walk. Just trying to get back into exercising each day.
Love to you all and beware of quality streets tins. 0 -
Good idea Jenn, I might do that, I've been off the wagon the last two days ... and I hate myself for it ... I'm always growling at myself. I either need to let myself enjoy the silly season, or I need to stay on track! Still exercising, but man I'm eating CRAP!0
-
Good Morning Ladies. I am enjoying the season but still logging so I don't go way overboard. I really need to get some exercise in though. So much to do. Still wrapping last minute gifts and such. Starting to feel a little less tried since I have been eatign a bit better. Hopeign the tirednees iss all from the gray weather and lack of exercise.
Have a wonderful day ladies!0 -
Friday. Morning Ladies. I'm surrounded by receipe books. Shopping this morning and hope to resist anything bad do not want too many temptations in the house but I have to also be fair to everyone else. I'm hoping they don't notice the lack of usual fare and enjoy the choices I give them. I /we went for a walk around the neighbour last night it was a gentle walk well as gentle as can be with our hills. my husband came with me which was good as he needs to exercise. Not for weight but to control his diabeties, he relys on medications. So hoping he gets into a good habit of a 30 min walk 3 times a week. Ok, heres to friday and good christmas preparations. :drinker:0
-
Jenni - I'm sure your family and friends will enjoy what you make.
Things are Holly Jolly over here. I have 2 last minute thigns to grab after work today then 3 days of lovely family time away from work. Ican't wait.
I hope everyone have a wonderful christmas and if your having a tought time now just remember we can help each ohter get back to the hard work in teh new year. 0 -
Ahhh.. Christmas break has started for me. Have my daughter and mum at home with us. If I don't have it, we don't need it. And the sun is shining at last a summers day. Now thats Christmas for us. :flowerforyou:
Have a wonderful Chtistmas Everyone and Courtney you are right the journey continues in the New Year. :happy:
Will spend someime thinking about goals for 2012.0 -
