took me forever to write this sorry......
G'Day Y'all!!!!
Official Weight In day is here - didn't I just do this?!
OK ... as usual... drum roll please....
Weight Loss: .7 kg/1.54 lbs
Calorie counter says:
Calories in: 2410
Calories out: 1276
Yeah, I know. It wasn't last weeks fabulous number! BUT it's a loss.
Sigh, t'was a disheartening week. Lower back has been a bit tired lately so I've been pulling back on the heavy weights and doing more cardio (and for those that know me... you know that's a huge sacrifice!) So here comes Tuesday and I'm going for it in a BodyAttack class (all cardio!) and SNAP! huge crack in the ankle and all of a sudden I'm limping out of the gym. No real reason or explanation... just OUCH! so crippled me get the brace and the deep heat and ice for my lower back and lays up for 2 days. Miserable I tell ya!!! every time I went to walk on it , it would swell up. So I stayed sedentary, posted my pain on facebook like any normal person.. (from facebook... '<shaking fist aggressively at ankle> damn you injury!!!!! :( not happy. lower back and ankle this week.... AAAGGGHHHHH <pant, sigh> ok so gotta lay off my feet for 2 days (&$&#*%(%!!!!) and the only exercise i can do is general upper body work. Growl, snarl, snap,snap ... I'm putting on my angry eyes right now :(. ) ...got sympathy and went on my no-so-merry way.
Thank god, I'm healed and was able to go to the Melb International Flower Show with the hubby. Fabulously beautiful day and well worth being secluded for 2 days healing!
On the job front, still no real prospects ... The prison has me casual so I'm going to be there 3 days a month and I have a temp job (1day) on Wednesday. At least it's money coming in. Wish it was more. Still contemplating starting school. Hubs is on board but you know what my biggest problem is? what the hell do I REALLY want to study? nothing and everything... I don't think I like anything enough to really get a degree in it but I'd like to know about everything LOL sigh... really of all the problems in the world to have ... this ain't bad.
Wish me luck getting back to the gym this week (and bless my injuries please) and feel free to make suggestions on possible career changes :)
love you !

Official Weigh In 23/03
GOOOD MORNIN!
OK, let's cut to the chase here then go through the drama of the week, sound good? of course it does.
(drum roll please)
Weight Loss: 2.1 Kg/ 4.63 lbs
Current Weight: 100.7 kg/222 lbs
Oh yeah... unhuhhh... that's right... I'm a rockstar...
Calorie Counter says:
Calories out: 2436
Calories in: 1053
Gotta be careful here... good week but there were 2 days I actually hit below my minimum of 1000 calories which will set my body into starvation mode and I won't burn at all! EEKKKSSS ...SO... I'll be a bit more aware next week not to under eat so I don't negate all my hard work in the gym.
Well it's truly been a hard week for me so I'm really grateful for the good weight loss. Monday was just a terrible day for me.
I'm still jobless (which , mind you, is quite helpful when your at the gym 3-4 hours a day), I've applied for close to 13 jobs this week alone. Though logic keeps reminding me 'it takes weeks for them to process applications' 'it's not you personally, they don't know you, they are just looking for a specific trait you don't posess' and 'remember, if it's not meant to be yours then you wont get it' ... it's still difficult to feel that rejection by the lack of response to your applications. I have never in my life had difficulty finding or keeping a job and since I've been in Australia (3 years) I've only had trouble. This has lead to a severe lack of self confidence and in conjunction... weight gain. SOOOO Monday was just a terrible weak day for me, intermittently crying - in the store, in the car, at art class- just randomly... my old therapist used to say 'what's your mantra when your feeling that way' Well folks... my mantra was 'nobody wants me, they think I'm not worthy of their job, I'm useless' and that kind of mantra would make anyone cry.
So I did what I have been doing best for the last 3 years , EAT. I'm not proud of it, just being honest so ya'll know the truth here. My emotional food? potato gems (tater tots), shredded chicken, and brown gravy. Not ridiculous at 550 calories BUT HORRENDOUS at 74 g of fat and 2000mg of sodium ! The one really good thing about that? After the 5th bite, My stomach hurt. Oh and it continued to hurt for the rest of the day .... proper punishment? NOOOO there's more.... I wasn't aware you could get constipated so swiftly but guess what!? YOU CAN!! So what did I gain from binging on junk food?? a stomach ache and constipation for 3 days. WOOHOOO ! bet your jealous now. Alright , lesson learned. Now let's see if I remember the lesson next time.
Anyway, picked myself up, wiped my face, dusted my ass, got back on the saddle and kicked some ass from Tuesday on. Went to 2 extra yoga classes for the positive meditation and pulled in a good week after all.
I have a first interview with a local eye wear company on Saturday morning and maybe this is the job that the universe wants me to have.If not, I will trudge on knowing that what's supposed to be will be and try not to over think it.
Love you!

Dear Sis,
Today I weighed for the first time , not bad. 197 lbs/ 89.5 kg. I was inspired by your posts. Now I'm ready! I've been doing some type of excersize every day. I'm about to strap on my body bug again as well!
Glad you are getting back into the swing of things!

Official Weight in Day 16/03/12
Good Morning!!!
Welp today is Official Weight In Day: every friday morning that is. Now since my last weigh in and measure were on Sunday last week we're just catching up SO (drum roll please)
Weight loss: 600g/1.32lbs
not too shabby for a start and only 4 full days of workout.
calorie counter says:
average per day
Burn: 2424
Intake: 1412
So I'm actually burning slightly more than the counter, which is great for me since I'm damn good at slacking.
OK so now I'm off to gorge myself on Mexican food :) KIDDING!!!!
Love you,
D

Dear Sis,
Did my 5:20 wake up this morn and hit the gym .... cycle class, abs class, upper body workout. WELLLL forgot I can't go all 'BALLS TO THE WALL' on my first day back in cycle class for 6 months! Nearly barfed! (giggle) but survived the process and went on the finish the other class and the upper body workout. Bobybugg says I burned 600 calories.... surely it must be more than that :(
Oh yeah! and did I mention yet that MY VAG HURTS!!!!!????? ok yeah its just my pelvic bone squishing my muscles against the bike seat making them hurt and over time I'll build up resistance but THAT MAKES MY VAG HURT!! Phew ... feels better puttin that out there! Went to Yoga, obviously to rehab my vag, super fabulous... so much nicer when you've been away! Because I'm not super confident in my practice yet it's great when I can just follow.
todays stats:
burn:2325
intake:1564
steps: (a pathetic) 4961
OH I forgot to post my measurements with the photos! Current measurements are 46,43,50 I'll post new photos and stats on friday.
Love you!
D
tip of the day: Always wear gloves when handling chilies (cause if you dont, that fire you love to eat so much is gonna make your eye/nose feel like a million bees stinging it, and make your body react like its just been hit by pepper spray! trust me on this one!)

Dear Sis,
Got a little side tracked when I figured out that our gym was closed for a public holiday. OOPS .... no biggie, went for a drive to a Mirboo North to a chocolate shop with G. Walk around and didnt eat any treats. YAY ME! Then came home and took the Hubs for a walk too. SO got in nearly all my steps(10,000) and my min calorie burn (2700) for the day without the gym. Ate wonderful also so that helped.
calorie burn: 2446
calorie intake: 1640
steps: 7302
Will post current photos soon.
Love you!

Tip of the day: never buy a dildo bigger than your mans penis!
