Boysmum's Diary

[boysmum]

Ok so ive really done it now, weighing in at 77kg - well actually 77.95kg *faint* I really cant belive that im weighing this much after getting down to 69kgs a year ago, now its getting back on. I feel very angry at myself for doing this, and for not having the will power and control to stop the eating. It doesnt help that hubby and I both love our food - shame its the 'bad' food we love so much. I also work in the food industry so theres ALOT of tasting going on - that i know I must stop doing - but my god when the chef puts something sooooo goood in front of you, you just want to eat it all!!

So Im very glad - but nervous and scared that Ive started this journey. I cant wait to be a yummy mummy rather than the fat mummy. So to answer the questions....

How much weight do you want to lose? 17kg

What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? 31st August (our 3rd wedding anniversary)

How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? Well Im going to stick to this plan, i really need to make an effort to exersice - going to look at getting a bike for the lounge so I can use that at and watch telly at the same time.

Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? Il be writting in this dairy daily - will try anyway! And LOTS of postive thinking and willpower.

How realistic is your goal? I think its very realistic, gives me 10weeks so around 1.5kgs a week.

When will you start? First day of my diet was today, and although i didnt manage to get any exercise done i did stick to the diet - and that was blimming hard with the husband eating KFC for dinner while i was eating chicken soup. My god KFC smells sooooooo good!!!!!

[boysmum]

Whew so Ive almost made it through day two. Just have to make sure I dont snack before bed and il be sweet

Spent the day at work today, and OMG that was so hard!!!! Smelling the yummo food coming out of the kitchen, doesnt help my office sits right outside it. But my will power was pretty amazing I have to say and I didnt even sneak a chip or anything. So very proud of myself. Im craving bad food though, all I can think about is food, butter chicken would be perfect right about now. I have to say that this is the hardest thing ive ever had to do, I honestly think that Ive got a serious food addiction

[boysmum]

Day three almost finished. Havent felt to hungry today tbh and havent had any cravings for fat!! Have joined up at the gym this morning, and start my first class tomorrow night - Zumba. Should be good even though im quite un-co. Ive already noticed my jeans getting looser. I usually have to sqeeze them past my thighs Haha!! But today they went on with no as much squeezing. Also managed to get out and do a walk this afternoon with baby in tow, it felt quite good.

After my dairy entry lastnight I went to bed soon after and had a wee cry over not being able to ear butter chicken. Feels so silly looking back - its just food after all. But i was seriously heartbroken. Im so glad I managed to push through it though and feel like I have turned a small corner today, heres hoping my will power and telling myself I can do it will be enough to get me through the next 10 weeks.

Day four today and just got back from the gym. Zumba i didnt like, stayed for the entire lesson but wont be going back to it. Did a 15min intense ab class which was awesome though, should help tone up my tummy from when I was pregnant. I really want and need to loose that, sick of people asking me when the babies due - or worse a month ago while in Maccas with the boys and husband waiting in line for dinner a guy said to me "Your going to be busy with 3 under 3!" I was so embarressed I couldnt even correct him and just agreed

But this is the new me now, I know im going to stick to this and i know I can do it. Today I ate only from my menu and have stuck to my diet 100% since day 1 which im so proud of. My only fail is the lack of water im drinking. I am doing around 4glasses a day so need to increase that by another 2 and I should be good. Might set myself times to drink water i think, a glass every 2hours or something.

Only 3more sleeps until i check those scales

Keep up the dedication! Maybe keep a bottle of water in sight? I find when I do that, I'm constantly taking sips and going through more than 2 bottles a day without noticing it

Stay strong and focused, you can do it!!!

Day five, I was so tired lastnight that I didnt manage to get to write in my diary. I did 40min of the treadmill, 20min on the rower and then my 15min AB class. Again stuck to my diet all day except instead of chicken salad I decided to have a garlic prawn salad - OMG it was amazing!! Such a nice change from the salad because that was starting to get abit boring and was tempting to give up.

Day Six, Again stuck to my diet all day. Am doing rather well I think considering I havent fallen for any of my cravings. Im throwing myself into exercise to keep me busy - did a spin class tonight - and going to bed abit earlier to keep my 9pm snackings at bay.

[boysmum]

Day seven today which means weigh in day. Im very happy to report that today I weigh 73.30kg so a total of 4.65kg lost Have stuck to my diet for the day even though I took the kids to maccas to play and watched them eat their happymeals (i didnt even sneak a chip - well done me!!). Instead I had a green tea from the McCafe. I havent managed to get to the gym tonight so will have to do a big workout tomorrow.

[boysmum]

Whew its been a busy few days around here, working and looking after the boys. Did managed to get some gym time in there which was good and I also stuck to my diet the whole time - although yesterday was so hectic I didnt stop and forgot to eat my lunch - or anything for that matter! Went and did a Yoga class this morning instead of a gym workout and that was really good. Really nice being able to relax and visualise my new body

Today is day 10 of my new diet, and I havent lost anymore weight but i dont mind, i think 3days after my last weigh in is a bit soon so will just stick to weekly weigh ins i think.

[boysmum]

Day 14 today and weigh into, down to 72.20kg. Am happy with that, think im over doing the exersize abit - doing at least an hour each day - so maybe building muscle. Either way, clothes are getting looser and OMG just brought my first pair of skinny jeans today *faint* never ever ever thought that would happen but they look great. So feeling very confident. Am heading away for the weekend so not sure how my diet is going to cope, will try be good and at have been searching for some good walking trails so i can keep the exercise up to.

[boysmum]

Weekend away was fantastic but needless to say the diet went down hill and i lost my mojo so back into it again starting tomorrow morning. Ive gained 2kg and feel rather crap about it, but at the end of the day it was my fault, noone forced me to open my gob and eat crap food. Ive got some photos to share to, will try and upload them.

Wish me luck for this coming week!
