Small miricale, I lost another 600g this week! My new weight is 77.7kg. Not bad considering what a crap week I have had! So, I am a little bit behind my target… but, doing ok.
Eating yesterday was a disaster, Im 100% comfort eating - its not good!
Too busy to write now, will update this blog soon.
Hope everyone on the Healthy You Challenge is doing ok 
Ok – so… last week wasn’t great. I’ve decided I am an all or nothing girl…so this week, I will give it my all! This is this weeks plan:
1) I will not obsess about food. I am going to concentrate on making healthy decisions and at the end of the day instead of detailing what went in my mouth, I will instead just summarise how I did that day.
2) I will go on the treadmill every day because I need to make the treadmill a habit (we have one at home so there is no excise). I want to make it part of my daily routine (like brushing my teeth), I need to stop dreading it! So… on Mon, Wed, Fri I will do my run program (a repeat of week 3), on Tue, Thurs and Sat I will just go for an easy 30 min walk (listening to my ipod to make it more enjoyable).
3) I WILL go to the gym on Tue, Thurs and Sat for a workout. I will do weights at least once. On the other days I will do what I feel like.
4) I will try my hardest to break the ice and go to an RPM class this week. I know I will enjoy it once I get there; its just doing it the first time is scary!
5) I WILL drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday.
That’s it! Time for me to get off my butt and get fit and healthy! I’ve created a calendar where I will mark off completion of each day’s goals with stickers. If I get 100% completion on my goals I will treat myself to an oil massage on Sunday.
Thoughts/feelings: Ok – so, I came down to my office to do some work and ended up spending the last 3 hours reading blogs, and I STILL didn’t read them all! Everyone is making really good progress… a few of us have struggled, but I think its positive that we are able to be honest on our blogs and get back on track! Everyone is VERY INSPIRATIONAL – keep up the great work!
Exercise: My exercise this week has been dismal. I’ve been feeling crook and my eating hasn’t been great so I don’t think I’ve had enough fuel to keep up. It’s not all bad, this morning I got on the treadmill, but after 15 mins of walking I was knackered, at least I tried. I also walked to the end of the road to get a taxi today instead of calling one to the house – the look I got from the security guards was hilarious…. People just don’t walk places in Thailand!
So today I have been trying to eat more, drink more water and tomorrow morning I will go for a run. Looks like I will have to stick to week 3 of the ‘learn to jog’ program longer than I thought! Oh well… mai pen rai (never mind).
Food: Food today has been ok. Toast for breakfast, a lemon shake and PadThai (fried noodles with shrimp and tofu) for lunch, some spinach/bacon bread with nothing on it as a snack… and hummus on ‘oat’ bread for dinner (it’s the whitest looking ‘oat’ bread I’ve ever seen). Ok – my dinner wasn’t that good, I will have a fruit shake for a post dinner snack!
Ok, this is a little bit silly… but… I did the What Fruit Are You quiz and found out I am a strawberry. I think what is says about me is scarily true so I will post it as an ‘I love me’ post because it says some nice things about me!
Thanks Miss Patti for the fun link!
You Are a Strawberry |
 You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people. You are popular, but there’s nothing you ordinary or average about you.You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery… you can’t help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private. |
Thoughts/feeelings: Well, today was another BORING day at home! I was not very productive at work and my motivation is slipping at a great pace! Not good. I nearly ordered a pizza for dinner tonight, but fate made me change my mind at the last minute… this is how it went.
Food - I had a pretty average food day today, but as you can see by the pizza dialogue - it could have got a lot worse! I was craving some cereal and milk this morning, so I had some (not good because I am daily intolerant so it didn’t help my digestive system one bit). I also had a few not so sneaky biscuits… the good news is I have finished the pack off, they wont be bothering me anymore.
My eating is not good, I’m feeling rather weak and have no energy. I need more fruit and vegies I think. I will go out tomorrow and make sure I have a good feed - I need petrol in my body if I want it to run!
Exercise - er…. um…. none. : (
