October 11 results

Pretty disappointing results for October;  -0.7kg.  After a cracker September I was all over the place in October with some large gains and large losses - on a positive front I did end up lighter by the end of the month - just!

WI Week 9

Lost 2.2kg this week bring my total to 25.9 – I stuck to my plan of exercising at least 3 times and eating fruit last week.  I used the iFit on the treadmill on Wednesday & Thursday and did some weights as wells – then on Friday I went back to Bootcamp – it has been about 1 year since my last bootcamp.  The class I did was a “child friendly” class – I took the baby along and parked him in the corner so that he could watch (it is mostly in doors) – he was really good just watch for the full hour – shame I can’t say the same thing about myself.... It was hard which I was expecting but I did the full hour and kept up most of the time – my legs were like jelly and I could hardly breathe but felt great after.   My Legs where shaking for the most of the day and I was in a great deal of pain on Saturday and Sunday (eased off by Monday) – You know you are in trouble when you put off going to the loo due to the pain involved in sitting down and standing up! 

My plan is to go every Friday morning (that is the only day I can do at the moment) – with the exception of this week as Friday in a Public holiday in Perth (CHOGM)...

My plan for this week is to increase my exercise to 4 times a week.

WI Week 8...

Had a gain of +2.0kg this week – so annoyed at myself – I was so motivated after the baby was born and now my motivation is almost nonexistent – in my head I am continuously making up excuses on why I can’t exercise why I am not making the best food choices etc.. that constant argument about how I feel is back – if I put as much energy in the actual doing instead of the avoiding I would have not gain 2kg this week.

Anyway I need to more forward and not dwell on what has been done – there is one week left in October so I need to put in a huge effort this week to at least finish the month lighter than what I started (currently I am heavier..)

My goal for the week is what I stated in my last post – exercise at least 3 times this week and eating at least two different pieces of fruit.

Overdue update

I have been very slack with blogging – I could offer several excuses but they are just excuses...  I have been losing weight as you can see from results from September I am doing well but (always a but) October is not great...  See the results on side.  Again I could offer a lot of excuses but really I just need to get stuck into this once and for all.  My baby is 12 weeks now (can you believe it!) so there is no reason why I can’t be get back into doing more exercise – I have had no pain with my C-Section for a few weeks now so it should be good.  I gave my exercise room a good clean today – it had become the local dumping ground so it is ready to go.

On the food front I have been doing OK but I could be doing a lot better – I am watching what I am eating most of the time but I am not tracking...so I have no idea if I am within my daily points or not.  I know with a little bit of planning I could be eating a lot better...and in smaller portions.   

I am still breast feeding 95% of the time so it is important for me to be eating well in order to keep up my milk supply and feed my baby the best possible milk (I also think it is the breast feeding that is helping with my weight loss).  I will only be breast feeding until the end of December as I have to return to full time work in late January so I need to make the most of it (on a weight loss front).  

My plan is to exercise for at least 30mins for 3 days this week and to eat two different pieces of fruit each day (I am saying different as otherwise I will just eat bananas – which are still at $11kg!) and to blog my results and progress each week.

Week 1

Had a good start with a loss of 4.0kg bringing my total losses to 22.8.  As I am breast feeding I have a total of 52 points a day to eat... that is a lot of points – I have been having a bigger breakfast and upping the amount of protein and including more snacks during the day – the breast feeding is making me hungry so I am just trying to make healthy choices and not consume too much bread...

At this stage trying to exercise is quite hard, I am going to try and get the kids out in the pram for a walk a couple of times during the week but I am not going to put any pressure onto myself to exercise every day at the moment – once the baby is in some type of a routine then I will be able to get more exercise in – the focus at the moment is to get back into the rhyme of eating good healthy food and spending time with my kids whilst I am not working.

I'm Back

I am back at WW meeting now – actually I went back over a week ago (30^th September) not much time on my hands these days with the little ones at home full time!

My starting weight is 123kg bring my total losses back to 18.8.  
Since I stopped WW last December I have gained 8.2kg – so happy with that result.  Since having my baby and starting WW (6 weeks) I had already lost already 10kg so I am well on track to getting my pregnancy weight off.  I am breast feeding and apparently that really helps with weight loss (never did with my other two but I really only breast feed half the time – this time I am breast feeding full time).
