makinitcount44's Friends

This weekend was busy full of family stuff. Saturday I had friends over during the day, and in the evening I had supper with friend at a Greek restaurant....I really made a mess breaking all those plates...hehehe.  Sunday I helped my sister move into her new apartment..... the amount of clothes and shoes she has is unbelievable..... especially since I was "tasked" with carrying all of them into her new place.

I fell short of achieving my goal by 250cals. I burnt 2250cals for last week.

This week :... spinning this morning 

Status : 500/2500......... 2000cals to go

Diet was abit off but not too off........ overall a good day. Got some work done too, i've a deadline this tuesday and hopefully i can get the production done in the city really fast...... Also going to book some travel plans and treat myself to a new camera :) 

Hoping for a GOOD day. Tomorrow i've an NYCB workout lined up, hopefully i'll be motivated enough to go for it. 

Speaking of motivation, please join my weekly workout winners thread! http://caloriecount.about.com/weekly-workout-winners-ft15779 5

I did balocity and i reeeally don't like doing it with the space i've got! hell i ahte most workouts in the space i have right now. But i'm making it work!

Tomorrow's my break day according to plan.. I like the idea of fitting a workout a day after a ballet class day... I usually thought it would be better to give my body a break but I think i'm good enough to push myself the day after anyway and then follow it with a break day.

I'm getting more work done, thank GOD...! I just am really figuring this book publishing website and it's driving me a little nuts. Hopefully figure it out before midnight! Diet went ok too. I have my thinkthin bites and i usually eat 2 bars (total of 300 cals!!) twice a day (so... 600 cals for snacks?!) for just a SNACK... soooo..... hmmm some diet :P i don't count cals though and the high protein is just what i need, but i'm looking forward to the regular bars that do the trick on just 240 cals....

First semi-workout in ages! Well... it wasn't a workout per say, just a ballet class. My balance and flexibility was a bit off but i'm glad incorporating those static training days have helped me gain some strength which got me thru anyway..

I want to fit in an early workout tomorrow... should be good.

Goals tomorrow

stick to my diet!!

Balocity after breakfast

work on and print my project to take in on sunday for staple binding, + create 3 file formats with printer info

work on my book and finalize it to send out for printing

--- these two are good for now... in addition i do want to work on my process book but that's if I have time tomorrow with all that. I have sunday to finish off that...

I have to go and get my traveling for xmas sorted out on Monday...

I think i'll line up my workouts for motivation/accountability:

tomorrow - balocity

sunday =break day (will be in the city with lots to do!)

monday - one of the NYCB ballet workouts.

tues- break day

wed - static training

thurs - elements ballet conditioning

fri - break day 

---

feasable and i hope i stick to it!!! The semester's coming to an end and i'm just so excited about it... Hope everyone's doing great too.

My week ends tomorrow. From about 8-9am my visitors will be walking into my house. So no gyming tomorrow or more specifically the 90min spinning class that I usually attend from 08:15am will probably not happen. I need to find time to squeeze in 500cals between tonight and early tomorrow morning.

I refuse to give up at this point.... 2500cals is my target and I won't accept anything less.

This morning I've done a spinning class. Weather here in Pretoria is awesome.

Status : 2000/2500......... 500cals to go

And i sooo need to get back to fitness and dieting... this week has been very holiday-ish..! I'll take it for what it's been and i definitely had alot of fun anyway. Diligence comes with a new day... i'm promising myself that! Off to do dishes and pass out in bed from how tired i am..

p.s: i soooo want to get back into a ballet class routine again... i havent gone to class for WEEKS! 

Last night I completed an hours worth of upper body weight training. This morning I attended a spinning class. As I do not know how to calculate the calories burnt for weight training I ignore that workout for the weekly target.

Status : 1500/2500......... 1000cals to go... going to be tight as my week ends Saturday and most probably Saturday will be a non gym day due to other committments.

Plan: Maybe I could do a spinning class this evening and tomorrow morning. A little extreme but that will get me to attain my weekly goal. ........................ .......OR...................  I could wake up really early on Saturday morning and do an hours worth of swimming and do a spinning class tomorrow morning.... this will also get me to my goal. !!!!???  

Alarm rang this morning ...  In my comatose state I switched the alarm off and went back to sleep. I missed out 2 spinning classes this week which equates to lotsa work required to achieve my objective for the week. This weekend I probably will get no much done due to family commitments.

Highly probable that I "may not" achieve my target of 2500cal for the week.

On a more positive note: scale reflects a positive trend this morning.

Status : 1000/2500Cal... 1500 to go.

I have been bingeing and drinking too much and not even working out!  Yeesh.  Well I am driving home tonight, so it was going to be day FIVE.. yes... FIVE of no working out.  Well I couldn't let that happen so I woke up at 5:30 and did a 7 mile run and made a good bfast and packed a healthy spinach salad for lunch.  I feel a little better.  a LITTLE.  I need to get back to my old healthy habbits and stop bingeing!  I have work all day, class tonight where I have to present my paper to the class, then I'm driving home after class (6 hours), looking forward to being able to relax.  Any by relax I mean, not at all because I have tons of work to do.  Home usually means overeating for me so I hope that doesn't happen.  Actually no, I'm saying now it WON'T happen.  I need to wake up every morning I am home and get some kind of exercise in and then make a reasonable plan for food for the day.  Prob going out wed night, just hope I don't binge when I come home, going to try to keep the drinks to a min.  Also not weighing in for a while i know its bad right now.

Anyways I don't mean to be a downer, just trying to clear my head.

I feeling good right now - I started noticing my clothes sitting a bit loser, my face looks a bit better in the mirror and people started noticing that I lost some weight. I feel great and in a strange way - pretty.

I still have a massive 13.5kgs to loose but it's better than the original 20kgs and I was trying to remember when last I felt good about my weight.

Not when I went to my personal trainer 6 months ago @ 80kgs.

Not at my wedding 18 months ago @ 72 kgs.

Not when I applied for my first gym application 3 years ago @ 65 kgs.

Not when my mother told me I should loose weight @ 60 kgs.

Not when I was 17 and I stopped eating @ 55kgs. I eventually dropped to 50 kg before it became to bad to do sports because I lost my muscles...

I don't think I have ever really been happy with my body, but I remember times when it didn't bother me as much as it does now. Although my mother told me to loose weight then, I think for me I felt good at between 60 and 65, a size 10 pants.

I felt relatively normal then and I looked good if I look at pictures from then. It's a healthy weight to be and since my health is more important than what my mother thinks - I'll be happy then. Ultimately - I'd like to have good muscle definition and be able to wear a mini skirt - just because I could never have gotten away with it.
