12WBT

I've joined 12WBT, and nearing the end of Week 3. So far it's been a great ride. I can't say that I've followed the program 100% (too much wine last night) but I've been really good at picking up straight after I fall down and not saying "today is ruined, get me another chocolate bar".

I've lost 3.5kgs already! Thrilled! I'm going to Sydney in 3 weeks time for the weekend and hoping that I will have lost 6kgs at that point, so my friends will see how well the country is treating me :)

Hooray!

So Simba is back on the ol' blog. So I thought I would too. Sisters gotta stick together right?

I've just joined Anytime Fitness and trying (mainly failing) to go three times a week. I have an ongoing hip injury these days, like the old woman I am, so I can't go on a treadmill anymore, but instead I'm using the cross-trainer & sitting bike for 30 minutes each. Next step is to get a trainer to show me the weight machines. It's been such a long time.

I'm trying to use my move to the country as an opportunity to focus on me, and that includes getting fit and healthy, drinking less, losing weight and just feeling good in my skin.

Doesn't hurt to have a certain wedding coming up for motivation!

A bit useless

I know I've been a bit useless. I swing between being super conscious and superunconscious of my health habits.

I'm currently on a tropical island for work and there is an alcohol management plan in place which means we can only drink mid strength beer, so I'm not bothering.

I was here a few months ago (like 6!) and promised the same thing. But this time I'm actually doing it. I think it's fair enough that I was drinking last time, it was not a happy period of my life...

Anyway, I'm back. I'm tyring to be healthy. I have to stop eating so much chocolate. I'm spending a lot of time with the artists as we're living together and I find myself being drawn into their eating habits. Unfortunately I'm not being particularly drawn into their fitness habits though. Eek.

Anyway, hopefully I will use this last week to it's full advantage.

Siiiiick

So over it. If I'm going to vomit I just wish I'd vomit, ya'know?

And I'm not even someone who stops eating when they feel sick! 

I see many many salads in my future....

Well Hello There

I'm back, bitches!

I've been feeling pretty disgusting recently, and am so over it!

So I've downloaded MyFitnessPal and am recording calories in and out. It's weird - all of my other weightloss attempts have been about weightwatchers and points, now it's like I'm learning a new language, I have absolutely no idea how many calories are in anything!

Anyhoo, I weighed myself and I'm about 76kg. My goal is once again 65kg, so let's see how I go!

This has nothing to do with my ex who is moving back in 2 weeks and looks pretty darn good in her facebook photos. Nothing at all to do with it.

Getting Happy.

So it's clearly been an age since I last posted. It's not that I've been focusing less on losing weight...actually, it has. Once again, I met someone and being in the first flush of love made me not care about it so much, because they didn't. 

Unlike with Michael, this time I actually lost weight! Then I kind of put it back on and resumed normality of maintaining around 75kg. Which is too high, but sometimes I really couldn't care less. 

So anyway, this sounds made up, but I'm currently on an island off the coast of Queensland that is like Paradise. Except everyone eats chips! I'm going through a bit of heart ache at the moment and have decided to harness that energy and eat as healthily as possible and not drink so much - which is easy since there is an alcohol management plan on the island and you can only drink midstrength beer anyway! 

Who knows if I've lost weight but I feel good (except for nasty period pain today!) and I'm not crying so much at the moment. 

Which is nice. 

I don't know exactly what the point of this post is, but I just wanted to get it out and say that sometimes there are more important things to think about than losing weight. What's the perfect weight anyway? What I really want, what I'm really searching for, is to be happy.

New Year, New T-Face

Happy January 2nd everyone! 

I have just been for a run and am feeling quite happy with myself. I am completely and utterly determined to lose weight and maintain that loss this year. Towards the end of 2011 I really lost my mojo. It's ok, I'm not completely out of control, and it's ok anyway because that happens sometimes. I'd rather put on some weight, and let that be my vice than to have a crack habit or something. 

Anyway, I'm determined. That said, I have a confession - I've left Weight Watchers. It was a big decision, and one I might end up regretting, but I'm going to see if I can do this on my own, or rather, with the help of you guys. 

So I've bought scales though I'll try not to weigh myself every day. The fridge is full of fresh vegetables and my mind is full of excitement & commitment.  I can do this.  

Current Weight: 77.1kg ok so maybe it is a bit out of control, jesus!

Goal Weight: 65kg

Weight to lose: 12.1kg

I can do this.

My So Called Life

I'm feeling tired and a bit hungover today. We had a dinner for the cast & crew of a show last night and even though I'm not meant to eat after 2pm any more (the new Aruyvedic diet thing I'm doing), I ended up drinking from after work and having a delicious dinner. Ah well. 

My feet are really tired at the moment. Even though none of the shoes I'm wearing are new, they're rubbing in different places than usual and causing grief. Maybe it's because I went for a run on Monday night and my muscles are soooo sore. 

It's putting me in a bad mood. And I'm awake early. Booo. 

But tomorrow I go to Melbourne to see my Mum and have an early Christmas with her! What fun! I will eat lots, and hopefully walk lots too...
