Over the last few days I have had so many people comment that I have a heap of weight again always nice to receive those comments :) but sometimes I just want to say yep i have but I'm still a work in progress and have so much more to achieve!!

I have put a challenge on myself for August.. No soft drink not that I have all that much and also no wine or vodka !

Taken on Saturday :) hot and sweaty after boxing and body balance!!

Sorry missing in action!!

2011-07-03T19:04:00.002+09:30

I havent been around as much I had a set back with my fitness :( I was part of a challenge at the gym when I hurt myself. I strained my calf muscle to the point where I havent been able to do any leg work for close to 7 weeks :( I finally can get back into the running and riding again!

I am happy to say that during that time I didnt give up or stop! My food continued to stay on track!! It has been awesome!! My gym work has been very different lately but it has been a great change gone was the running, riding, spin classes, rowing and cross trainer! In came lots of upper body work, crossfit, boxing, swimming, water aerobics and body balance! I have stopped over training and pushed myself in the one or two sessions I have been doing a day!!

I have continued to loose cm's and live my healthy lifestyle there is nothing or anyone stopping me now! :)

Like they say spin me up and watch me go!!!!

Starting this week I will be doing some more leg workouts and running! I am going to be taking things slowly I dont want to push myself or rush it cause I dont want to hurt myself over again!! Lots of time and money has been spent at the physio!!

Mothers day classic funrun!!

2011-05-08T13:05:00.001+09:30

My first fun run today feeling awesome !!!' :) happy mothers day to all those awesome mums out there!!

Had an epic day at the gym yesterday the afternoon weight session was crazy! I'm loving the burn that I've got today but the cooler weather isn't helping as I feel pretty sore !! Love how the trainer pushes me to do heavier weights :)

Have a great sunday I'm off to get food shopping done!

Awesome start

2011-03-26T09:09:00.001+10:30

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone :)

What to do...

2011-03-22T07:13:00.001+10:30

I'm at a point in my life were my exercising is awesome life is great but I'm really not enjoying work... There are so many downfalls to management and I'm doing two roles at once and simply over it! There is a job I could easily get now I wonder should I apply.... Because as I sit here waiting for 8 to start work I'm simply over it to the point I want to cry!

Hopefully the day will get better... Spin was an awesome start just not the work part!!

Rest day Sunday....

2011-03-20T16:10:00.002+10:30

Today is my day off from the gym.... so today I went off and did a few things for me!!! Got my nails and toes done love the pampering!!! I walked around the shops for two hours looking for clothes to buy didnt have much luck! Came home with 5 pairs of socks and a bottle of water!!!

I went into my all time fav bigger sized clothes shop City Chic today after some basic bits and pieces much to my surpise they are all too big now!! Which I am very happy about because their clothes this season really are not all that flattering!! I have been able to go to the normal section of the shops for a while it is a great feeling being able to buy cheaper clothes as the average price of City Chic is very pricey!!!

Now it is that time on a Sunday arvo to get ready for the week, getting my gym clothes happening 7 little piles of stuff ready to throw into the gym bag, iron the work clothes and start relaxing before the week starts all over again!!!!

Hope you all had a great weekend :) hope it was a positive one!!

Saturday afternoon

2011-03-19T14:55:00.001+10:30

2008-03-02T20:14:00.002+10:30

Hey!!

Im sorry i havent updated!! been so tired and doing so much uni work its crazy!!

Im still on the R im off to the doctor next week my weight loss has slowed down so im going to ask to go on the 15 gram fingers crossed (got a good doc so it should be fine!!)

Today i have been starvin mind you im due for my depro needle but im attempting to come off that for a while!!

i havent been exercising much either cause ive been sooo tired but this week im back into it all once more!!

Anyways Greys is on so im off!!!!!!

2008-02-22T06:38:00.002+10:30

stay healthy and safe

More running

2008-02-19T06:31:00.001+10:30

I did more running this morning nearly 500m worth!! im also down another 400 grams!! this is finally working for me yay!! have a great day

my say.......

2008-02-18T19:40:00.002+10:30

Thanks Chris and Lisa for your support!! some people might think im taking the easy way out but when ive already lost 50 kgs i need some help and the hardest thing was asking for that help!! its a very emotional thing for me as i feel like i have caved!! but im still exercising its just assiting me to stop my constant thoughts on food!! somethings work for some people and somethings dont!! Reductil is working for me and whilst peoples thoughts mean heaps to me i dont want any negitive thoughts as they are unwelcomed and not needed!! anyways thats me !! have a good one

Monday monday monday!!

2008-02-18T06:34:00.003+10:30

I managed to get up this morning and walk even when all i wanted to do is sleep!! I even did a few runs!! i got on the scales yesterday and i was 105 kg and this morning im 103 kg it would be great to get under 100 by my birthday which is three weeks today!!

I'm loving my new laptop ohhhh so fast and very flash!! Best be off to work i guess only cause i have to not cause i want to!!

im lovin it!!

2008-02-17T20:58:00.002+10:30

Im loving my reductil at the moment i havent had any side effects yet which is good! apart from being a little thirsty which has helped with my water intake!! im loving that im not hungry at the moment im making myelf eat to ensure that i dont get sick!! today i have eaten two pieces of grain toast with salmon on it, a hand full of grapes, satay vegetables and rice. I simply wasnt hungry today!! im loving it!!!!

Im Back!!!!

2008-02-16T18:30:00.003+10:30

Well well well!! im back!! after a week of a mini break down over being fat i have started walking again. I went and saw my doctor who suggested i went on reductil Im up to day three and im not hungry which is great!! the only side effect i have felt is im so thirsty which is great lots of water has been drunk!!!

In a way i feel like i have given up but i need something to get me started and i needed something to make me stop thinking about food!!! I have tried xencial before and the side effects were shocking!! ill never go back!!So fingers crossed it happens for me!

Apart from my weight issue i have been potting along with life!! I love my new job! Very busy so i might be limited to a post every few days!! My god daughter is growing so quickly she is 5 months today!!!Anyways i guess i should do some uni work!! catch up later!!

We then did weights and back on the cross trainer!! i feel sooo soo good!! it was so hot at the gym my hair was wet with sweat! as much as i hate the feeling of sweat it made me think i had done a bit of work!!

I have kicked the tummy bug which hung around for long enough!! i thought i would have lost a bit of weight i was very shocked to jump on the scales and find that i had put on a kilo!! i guess TOM has arrived as well!!

My food has been totally on track today! as has my water !! I just made myself an after dinner treat smoothie!! i used frozen mango, pineapple and banana with a little light and creamy (coconut) and blended it all up!! it tasted just like a boost tropical one!! yummo!! that was to top off a yummy dinner huge green salad with prawns!! healthy food tastes good!!

Hmmmmmm

2007-10-18T10:19:00.000+09:30

Well i slept in today so i didnt walk this morning! which i must say im feeling kind of bad about, so i think i might get on the cross trainer even if i do 3 10 min lots!! something is better than nothing!!

i have had a productive morning on the uni front !! i have 5 weeks till freedom (well until next year!!) so i just gotta keep working at it!! but its hard when all i want to do is sleep!!

Why is it so much harder to drink water when you are at home?? when im at work i drink the stuff like its going out of fashion!!

Anyways ill catch up later on if anything interesting happens!!

2007-10-17T15:59:00.000+09:30

Well i went to the doctors today as i have been so tired and have no energy!!

i should not be tired and i should be full of energy as ive been exercising and eating a very balanced diet!! Apart from the naughty piece of slice i had before (mind you it was made with ww marg!!)

so he checked me over, took my temp (which was 38.5!!) and sent me off for blood tests (WHICH I HATE)!! I asked him what he thought could be the problem he said a viral infection more likely glandular fever!! oh great just what i need!! Anyways the test results will be back on Friday!!

If anyone is interested i have a whole heap of WW recipes so leave me your email address and ill pass them on!!

Lazy lazy lazy!!
