you guys are doing super! makes me a wee bit jealous, coz i ahvent been, but definately motivating! I went for an awesome run yesterday, 10.22km in 70 mins, which i did struggle with, but actually could ahve kept going had i not reached my house and made plans for the day! sadly i "runined" that goodness (sadly my thinking over food and fitness is waaay too black/ white" by having 2 beers and a wine with dad in the evening, and then binging on turkish bread and leftover potato cakes. i HATE binging it makes me feel really creepy, and dishonest... so u can imagine i DIDNT log yesterdays cals. my goals today... well i want to log everything, and be happy with what i see- i am going out for lunch with a girlfreind, but know what are healthy choices, and WILL make them, and WILL log them. i also want to go for a wee walk, and i do not want to drink ANY alcohol tongiht. or binge late. weigh in tomorrow, so im scared again.... this post does make me sound a bit psycho, haha- i need your help and support to get me back into my healthy frame of mind! por favor |

lanedown- go you! i love the "woohoo's", keep up the super work! yaaay! figure- im in nz, in auckland, today will be max of 13 celcius, which is pretty miserable for me, and we are having crazy torrential downpours/thunderstorms/ sunny spells- right now its beautiful and clear and i guarantee byt the end of this post the sky will be black and soggy! ooooo well, i was out shopping the other day and see theres already summer collections coming out! huraaaay! ive had a slack weekend- AGAIN. just been for a tiny walk, but trying to keep a healthy, and optomistic attitude. i have the whole week totally free actually, which will be great, time to do fitness- no excuses haha! so along with that means the house will be obessively tidy, and i will be cooking dinner for the family! ok but my boyfreind will be here in 27 days, and although he says he doesnt want me to change a thing, i want to get an "ooo wooow" out of him (havent seen him since march). apart from my own goals, thats my short range motivation to get back on and stay on the wagon. and again- the marathon.... |

| ooo im grumpy!!!!!!! i had weekly weigh in adn was quite up.... tried not to cry haha. and my cute boyfreind suggested it was muscle like he always does, but sadly, it was the beer and wine, and chocolate ive "enjoyed???" or at least consumed this week, plus no fitness. GRRRR thats how i feel. GRRRRRR. i have pre logged todays food, so so far so good... but already at work, adn going to a party right after, so no fitness again today. GRRR one more time for emphasis!!! | |||

| hiii! so how is everyone going now we are OFFICIALLY back on a wagon! personally, once i posted, i forgot about it again.... so slack... and whats worse (i always get pre weekly weigh in anxiety), is that on monday this week i weighed myself out of interest, and i was a good kg lighter than previous weigh in on friday which is my normal day. i was sick over the weekend which explains that, but now after a rubbish week both food and exercise wise im scared to jump on the scales tomorrow am.
biggest issues right now are: not being bothered to log everything i eat... gasp... whats making me so lazy??? and not wanting/ "being able" to go running coz its raining and freezing outside... its winter here now. someone give me a freindly nudge, and remind me of my weight loss goals, not to mention the half marathon ive enrolled in in November.... what a rant, sorry everyone! hope youre doing better than me! |

yes please i want to play too! i went on holiday wth some girlfreinds a few weeks back, and since then i ahve been really slack both ecercise and cal wise- and i want to get back on track before i undo what i did prior to australia! ive been finding the winter really depressing (although this is the warmest winter i remember for ages), its dark when i go to work and dark when i come home, so have only been running on weekends. now im actually sick home from work, aching body and headache- maybe flu- but im fighting it- so dont know if i should run or rest.... lets stick together!!!! (p.s im running my first half marathon in november so i need to seriously train for that- motivation welcome). |

| Hey brokentink!
i have just the same thing going on... or not going... :) I have had a bad tummy my whole life, been to the doctor many times, many samples taken, very few informative responses...i have irritable bowel syndrome... but theres not much u can do about it anyway apart fomr monitor diet- so said my GP. I have also wondered if it has something to do with my slow wieght loss... i go thorugh stages where coffee 'works', sometimes prunes 'work' and often after a naughty boozy night out im moving again... not very helpful of me i know, but just so you know youre not alone! |

| i always eat too muhc at night too... im sure its just boredom but still, all those extra calories after such healthy days! how frustrating! this has been made worse coz ive just moved into the city, adn there is a little shop right by our house... (my weakness is chocolate and lollies)(i can eat and eat and eat without feeling sugar sick...yikes) I have also found recently as someone said above that since i have recently started to try to loose weight that i gained when overseas, i have sort of become a bit obsessed with it all, counting calories etc, and whats worse (and very honest of me) is that i used to have an eating disorder! and some of these feelings are pretty similar to back then... and i dont want to go back there, but i DO want to loose my round bits! i just needed a bit of a rant sorry! thansk for listening and motivational words are welcome! |
