I still can't believe how quickly I can put on weight if I just go off track for 2 days. Takes me so long to lose 1 kg, and absolutely no time to put it all back on....it just sucks!!
Dinner was eating out at the Mitcham Hotel. I went out with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday (1st Feb). I was still ravenous even though I'd eaten so much food during the day.

Fell off the wagon a bit more today. For some reason my brain is saying that it's in holiday mode and I'm giving myself the nod to eat crappy stuff. It could be because my girlfriend is coming out from the UK on Wednesday and I'm preparing my body for the copious amounts of alcohol that I'll be drinking and the bad food that I'll probably be eating....and don't forget the lack of exercise that I'm going to be getting too!!
Saturday 29th January

Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: Tuscan Lamb Risotto with Flat Bread, 2 Glasses Champagne
Afternoon Tea: Small Bag Kettle Chips
Dinner: Ham & Cheese Sandwich on Grain Bread, 4 Glasses Champagne
Had my brother and his girls over today, so we went out for lunch. I hate it when they bring out a dish that you know is just way too much to eat, but because it's in front of you, it ends up getting eaten anyway. I've been taught not to leave food on my plate, so it's really hard to stop eating if there is food in front of me. Have to get over this!!

Gotta stop this amount of food intake!

Only had 45 mins at the gym this morning as Nick had to leave home at 7am. Think my arms are going to hurt tomorrow as I worked them pretty hard.
Another day where I just felt hungry all day. I've bought a few things to keep in my drawer for when I get peckish (probably not the best idea in the world!) so have been grazing on that during the day.
I watched Oprah tonight and am now interested in checking out the Perricone Principle. Lots of protein, minimal bad fats, some good fats and some good grains. Coffee is a big no-no, but tea is okay. Lose weight, stop your face from sagging and feel great is what I got out of it. Will investigate some more!

I went out for a run at 8.30 this morning and it was already between 25 & 30 degrees. God it was hot. And for some stupid reason I decided to run a circuit which has lots of hills and one really big hill. What was I thinking??? At least there was a strong wind, which kept the sweat to a minimum!! Forgot to put on the fly repellant, so they were all over me....yuckk!!
I really need to break this 64kg barrier now. If I can get under 63.8 (10stone) then I really think I can break this mental thing that's going on in my head. Can't remember the last time I was actually under 10 stone.....must've been in 2002.

Dinner: Tuna Mayo, Cous Cous, 1 Slice Grain Bread with W/W Margerine
I'm feeling absolutely ravenous today. Can't seem to stop eating at all. It's probably because I sit at a computer and am absolutely bored out of my brain so need something to keep me from falling into a coma!!

Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: 2 Salada Biscuits with Ham & Low Fat Cheese

A very low food intake day today. Well in comparison to what I eat during the week it was!!
I played Squash with hubby today. We only booked the court for an hour, but as there was nobody else waiting, we just kept playing. I hope that the amount of lunges, squats and high impact aerobics that I've been doing lately will counter at least a little bit of the soreness that I'm going to feel tomorrow. But I loved playing anyway. It's a great sport to burn calories (and get that beetroot red face look!).
Saturday 22nd January
Weight: 64.4
Exercise: hmmm
Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: 1 White Bread Roll with Ham & Cheese, 1/2 White Bread Roll with Ham & Cheese, Packet Apricot pieces
Dinner: Hot Chips, Chicken Breast (Charcoal Chicken), 3 Glasses Champagne
I went to a meet up with some friends today, so had to take a picnic with me. I wanted to buy brown rolls, but had a couple of kids to feed as well, so had to buy the white rolls. The chips and the champagne.....can't really say much about them. I ate the chips and drank the champagne!!

I had a lovely compliment this morning. I was walking into the gym at 6am (as I do every morning) and one of the girls who I see there regularly actually stopped me and told me that I was looking fantastic and that her and her sister (who also goes there) were really impressed by how hard I work out.....I nearly died of embarassment, but I also felt really good about it. It definitely made me work harder this morning!!
I'm having an Apple Scroll thing at the moment. I have always loved them, and whenever I'm near a hot bread shop, I find it really hard to walk past without going in and buying one. Note to self: keep away from hot bread shops!

Breakfast: Banana Smoothies, 1 Slice Grain Toast
Morning Tea: 6 Biscuits
Lunch: Iced Coffee Smoothie (BOOST), Apple Scroll
Dinner: 2 Salada Biscuits with Low Fat Cheese, Grapes
Yep, you read that right - 6 biscuits. Not a good start to the day, closely followed by the Apple Scroll. Think my body needed the sugar fix, but my stomach and hips definitely don't.
Gotta get past this sugar thing. Why can't I just be happy eating grapes in the morning?
That's it now, no more!!

Weight: 65.0

Food Intake:
Breakfast: Banana Smoothie
Morning Tea: 3 Biscuits

I gave in to the pizza today. One of my work colleagues was leaving so the company got in pizzas to celebrate!! I had brought lunch with me and I could have easily said thanks but no thanks to the pizza, but I didn't (are you surprised!!).
It'll probably show on the scales tomorrow!! Will have to work extra hard at the gym!

Dinner: Turkey Teryaki with Veg, White Bread Roll with Low Fat Cheese, Low Fat Berry Yoghurt
Couldn't stop eating when I got home from work. I would have kept on eating all night if I hadn't gone to bed early!
Might have to give the grapes a miss for a while as they are making me really bloated and my stomach is making lots of funny noises (embarassing in public!!).
I ran for a solid 1/2 hour this morning. Felt really good too. Started at 9.7kph and upped it to 10kph. Don't want to push it yet as my knee is still making little noises to me that it's not very happy doing all this running!!

Afternoon Tea: Grapes, Biscuit
Dinner: Turkey Teryaki, White Bread Roll with W/W Margerine, Neopolitan Ice Cream
So no exercise at all over the weekend. Not a good sign! I really need to up my exercise now. Gotta get past the thought that 1 hour a day is enough. If I have the time and the energy I should be back down the gym in the evening doing something more.
I've now managed to work out how the weights at home fit together so there's not really any excuse NOT to do it at home as well. I could even just get out the back and do some skipping (I've got a great skipping rope!). And I've done enough research on circuit training to do that at home with my eyes closed!!
I've only got 2 weeks until my girlfriend arrives on my doorstep from England. I went on so much when I was living in the UK about the great lifestyle and how good it'd be to get fit again once I got back to Oz, and what have I done about it??? Squat diddly!!

Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: Chicken, Pumpkin & Brocolli Risotto
Afternoon Tea: Grapes
Dinner: 3 Salada Biscuits with Tuna & Cucumber
I really should have done some exercise today, but I was feeling a bit woozy from drinking the champagne and there was quite alot of cleaning up to be done from the party, so I didn't go to the gym and I didn't get out for a walk.
Felt very lethargic all day. Can't believe that just a few glasses of champagne, and a little bit of junk food can do this to me!!
Saturday 15th January
Weight: 64.0
Exercise: No time today!
Food Intake:
Breakfast: Banana Smoothie, 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: 1 Slice White Bread with Ham
Dinner: Chips, Lollies, Popcorn, Cake, fruit, Champagne
It was my daughter's birthday today and we had all her cousins round for a party, hence all the junk food for dinner!!
I wasn't going to buy any champagne, but I had my sister, sister in law and my mother coming over, so I had to have it in the house for them, and once the first bottle was open, I just couldn't say no!! I am Weak!

Yippee....the whoosh fairy has been!! 0.8kg gone overnight - whoosh, just like that!!
Then I go and spoil it all by eating way too much at lunch. Stupid! (We had a BBQ at work). But one good thing......I declined alcohol!!!

I've now got a new weight routine and this morning was my first time using it. I can actually feel my muscles being used now. I wanted to do more than was on the program but I ran out of time. I also wanted to do more cardio, but just didn't have enough time. Tomorrow then!!
The scales have highlighted my carb binge yesterday!!
Wednesday 12th January

Morning Tea: Grapes & Cherries, 2 Salada Biscuits with Low Fat Cheese
Lunch: Chicken, Pumpkin & Brocolli Risotto, Low Fat Choc Mousse
Afternoon Tea: Plums
Dinner: Chicken Breast, Cous Cous, Coleslaw, 1/2 Breadstick
Had a real carb craving tonight. I had to pick up a couple of things in the supermarket and saw that the breadsticks had been reduced to $1. Just couldn't resist. Haven't really eaten huge piles of bread for ages, and in my head I kept saying that it wasn't a good thing to do, but stomach always wins out, so it was only later that I really sat down and considered what I'd put in my mouth.
Looking at it now, I had ALOT of carbs today!

Lunch: Chow Mein, Low Fat Choc Mousse, Grapes
Afternoon Tea: Plums
Dinner: Porterhouse Steak, Cous Cous, Coleslaw
Well I was very disappointed this morning. Got to the gym just before 6am and it wasn't open!! Lots of people standing outside waiting though. I sat and waited for about 15 minutes and still there was nobody around with a key!! So I drove home. Not sure if this was a good idea or not. I thought that I'd do some weights at home and some situps as well.
Now we haven't actually got around to setting up the hand weights yet, but I thought, how hard can that be. Spent the next 10 minutes trying to put the end caps on the weights so that they didn't fall off.....no success. Gave up in frustration. So just ended up doing sit ups.
I did think about going for a walk, but I am getting into work early this week so that I can leave early, and if I'd gone for a walk, it would have only given me about 30 minutes, which I just don't consider long enough (good excuse not to go either!!).
So I've got my gym stuff in the car, and am considering driving straight to the gym after work. My only gripe with this is that it'll be busy (5pm) and I hate having to wait for the equipment. Once again, another good excuse not to go!!
UPDATE: No, I didn't end up going to the gym!!
Monday 10th January
Weight: 64.4
Exercise: 45 Min Spinning Class

Breakfast: Porridge with Golden Syrup, Croissant
Morning Tea: 2 Salada Biscuits with Low Fat Cheese
Lunch: Honey Soy Chicken with Veg & Noodles, Grapes, Cherries
Dinner: Low Fat Banana & Cinnamon Muesli Bar, 2 Sticks Licorice covered in Chocolate
I hang my head in shame. I caved in to the chocolate. But I also pat myself on the back as I put back the big back of choc bullets that I had in my hand and bought the muesli bar instead. Don't know about anyone else, but I've always bought something to munch on when I go to the movies. I took my daughter this evening and popped into the local supermarket to buy something for her to munch on, and without thinking, picked up a bag of chocolate bullets for myself. It was only when I got to the checkout that I realised what I had in my hand and raced back to the lolly aisle to put them back. Phew, that was close!!
Note to self: Don't eat so many cherries and grapes all at once. Not good for the stomach!! (or anyone else hanging around me at the time!!).
Sunday 9th January
Weight: 64.4
Exercise: Combo Class
Food Intake:
Breakfast: Banana
Lunch: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine, Grapes
Dinner: Honey Soy Chicken with Veg & Noodles
I had a new weight program worked out for me at the gym today. I'd been doing the same one since I started, so I thought it was time for a change. The combo class was absolutely brilliant. It was all high impact, which I thought was great. The best thing the instructor said was "just remember girls, this is buring lots of calories". Made me work even harder!!
Saturday 8th January
Weight: 64.8
Exercise: Weights, Situps, Treadmill - 20 Min Run (3.18km)
Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Lunch: Banana Smoothies, 2 Salada with W/W Margerine
Dinner: Takeaway Chicken Risotto (Sofia's), Low Fat Trifle
Great day today. Have kept the crap and alcohol out of my mouth and I feel much better for it. Being the weekend, my normal habits would be to buy chocolate and alcohol!! How much longer I can keep this up for is anyone's guess though!!
Friday 7th January

Lunch: Tuna, Cous Cous, Coleslaw, Beetroot, Egg, Low Fat Trifle
Afternoon Tea: Grapes
Dinner: Crumpet with W/W Margerine, Chicken, Pumpkin & Brocolli Risotto, White Bread Roll with W/W Margerine
Running this morning was great. I had been doing some weights and I felt like I had alot of energy, so I jumped on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I probably could have run for longer but I'm still a bit wary about my knee. I really don't want to do damage again.
I overate at Dinner. I was hungry when I got home so I chucked a crumpet in the toaster. Then I had dinner a bit later on. Then a little while later I was cooking for Nick (he ate late tonight) and there was just one bread roll left in the cupboard, and I didn't even think twice about eating it!!
Thursday 6th January
Weight: 64.6
Exercise: 1 Hr Treadmill - 20 Mins Run, 40 Mins Power Walk (7.86km)
Food Intake:
Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with W/W Margerine
Morning Tea: 2 Salada with Low Fat Cheese
Lunch: Chow Mein, Low Fat Vanilla Yoghurt
Afternoon Tea: Apple, 2 Biscuits
Dinner:Tuna, Coleslaw, Cous Cous, Beetroot, Grain Bread Roll with W/W Margerine
I'm starting to get the legs back into running. I did 2 10 minute bursts on the treadmill this morning. Wasn't going fast though, only 9.5kph, so it wasn't too painful at all!!
I filled up the biscuit tin at work today and I just could not stop myself from taking 2 of them. I kept thinking NO, NO, NO, but I just, for the life of me, could not stop myself!! Might ask the person I work with if they could do it instead of me. That way the temptation is not there at all.
Funny how I can walk past that biscuit tin and not even think of them, but as soon as I got anywhere close to those biscuits, and then smelt them, it was just too much!! I feel like I've let myself down!
Wednesday 5th January
Weight: 64.8
Exercise: Low Impact Combo Class
Food Intake:
Breakfast: Porridge with Golden Syrup
Morning Tea: Low Fat Banana Muesli Bar, 1 Austrian Chocolate
Lunch: Chicken, Pumpkin & Broccoli Risotto, Grapes
Afternoon Tea: 2 Lemon Tart Low Fat Yoghurts
Dinner:Chipolata, Chow Mein
The combo class was great. BUT I did end up doing some high impact stuff, where I could have done low impact. I'm not sure why, but if I have the energy then I have to get it out and doing high impact instead of low impact really does that for me. We also did lots of squats and lunges, so I have a feeling that my upper legs and bum are going to be a tad sore tomorrow. Hopefully nowhere near as bad as last week though!!
Did anyone watch Extreme Makeover on Monday night? I would love to get all the details of the weightloss program and the exercise program that the 3 people were on. The guy who trained them is called Michael Thurmond. I just don't want to have to pay out over $US500 for his nutrition plan. Wonder if he's got a book out? Might have to go and check Ebay!!

Breakfast: 2 Slices Grain Toast with Lemon Curd
Morning Tea: Banana Muesli Slice
Lunch: Pasta Bolognese, 2 Low Fat Choc Mousse
Afternoon Tea: Grapes
Dinner: Chicken, Pumpkin & Brocolli Risotto
I'm starting to enjoy cooking again. Made the risotto when I got in from work. I find that as long as I've got the time, all the ingredients and it's not too late, I really do enjoy making up a nice dish. But I also find that I tend to stick to the same things......just don't seem to have a huge imagination when it comes to cooking. I suppose if I looked in the hundreds of cook books that are on my shelf I may find some interesting new ideas!!
It was hard getting up early this morning. You know that feeling when the alarm goes off and you just don't want to think about getting out of bed, all you are thinking of is how tired you are and how easy it would be just to shut your eyes again and go back to sleep.....that's exactly how I felt this morning. But I'm glad I got up and went.
Yawning my head off now though, so an early night coming up I think!!

Food Intake:

Lunch:Grapes, Cherries
Dinner:Steak, Cous Cous, Beetroot, Egg, Green Salad, Coleslaw, White Bread Roll with W/W Margerine
We were out for most of the day today, and by the time I got home I just didn't have the energy to get out for a walk (the gym was closed today).
I'm back at work tomorrow so will be arriving at the gym bright and early (6am). My calves are still a bit sore, but I now need to get them back into walking/running. Yep, think the treadmill will be my choice of equipment tomorrow!!

Breakfast: Banana Smoothie
Lunch: 2 Slices Grain Toast with Lemon Curd

It felt really good getting back to the gym. I got the calf muscles warmed up a bit on the cross trainer....they were not happy!!! There was a combo class going while I was there and it looks like a great class. I may try it next Sunday as my calves will be healed by then. Question is, will it do the same damage to my calves if I did the class??? Only one way to find out!!
New Years Day

Exercise: Still hurting too much!
Food Intake:
Breakfast: Porridge with Golden Syrup
Lunch: White Bread Roll with Low Fat Cheese & Mustard, Grapes
Dinner: Small Salad, White Roll with W/W Margerine, 2 Glasses Champagne
I hadn't realised this, but there was still 1/2 a bottle of champagne in the fridge from last night. I really did consider tipping it down the sink, but I just couldn't do it!!
I've never been in so much agony with my calves in my life. I am still having so much trouble walking. It's okay if I keep on my feet, but when I sit down for a while and then try to get back up, it's just so sore!!! I try to keep stretching them but even that causes me to flinch as they're just so tight!!
Note to self: Easy on the Step Class next time!!
