12WBT daily stats record book
So I’ve been thinking about the next 15 weeks (because nearly a week of pre-season is over, so one week down YAY) and how last time around I kept all my daily stats update here online. Which is all very well and good, and I may do that again, but there are times when I just don’t get onto the computer, and I don’t always post every day and I found that sometimes it just made it harder to track what I was eating, what my exercise was like and at the end of the week it made it...
Read More12WBT Day fifty seven – Keeping on track
Not a lot to report on yesterday or today. Have had a nice successful couple of days of eating, though I was very hungry all day yesterday for some reason which I can’t understand. Went to the gym after work and did a BodyCombat class, but was a little bit upset with my performance, because I know that I didn’t put my all into it. I was so severly lacking in energy, but I went and did the class and felt great after having done it. Had a bit of a big dinner yesterday, but just needed...
Read More12WBT day fifty five – Post triathalon
So yesterday was triathalon day. I had been dreading this day from the moment I heard about it, and even more so because I didn’t get a chance to do the mini triathalon the week before, so I really had no idea what to expect. I mean, I’ve not been the most dedicated person in respect to the exercise part of this program. I stand by the fact that I don’t really enjoy exercising, I am by nature a lazy person who likes to sit and read, and I really don’t enjoy the sweaty...

Read More12WBT day forty five – Weights to go go
Had to push myself to go to the gym this afternoon. I was driving home, with everything packed in my bag, all ready for me to just rock up to the gym and change and I kept thinking of different reasons why I shouldn’t go. I had this to do, I had that to do, I could be doing this instead. But in the end, I think the car must have been on automatic pilot because I ended up at the gym just like I should have. And to top it off: I RAN!!!!! Yes it’s true. I jumped on the treadmill and...
Read More12WBT days forty three & forty four – Nothing new to report
Well as the title suggests there is nothing new to report. I’ve been a bit slack on the upkeep of my food journal, but rest assured I have been making good food choices, with nothing bad thrown in the way. In fact Nat’s lasagna has been a real hit at home and we have it at least once a week now, and I’m making up an extra dish of it this weekend so that I can freeze it for ease when I have nights at the gym. Speaking of the gym. I went in last night for my official induction...
Read More12WBT day forty two
Well as I said in my other post I have news about the gym. Well 6 weeks into the 12WBT I have realised that the exercising at home just wasn’t going to cut it for me. I really need some more professional help, especially in toning my body. I’m starting to notice my weight loss now, but I’m also noticing that my arms are still very flabby and not getting at all toned and my stomach is not getting at all tighter or toned, it’s just there. So what started off as just a...
Read More12WBT day thirty eight – Farewell biscuits
We had a farewell do at work this afternoon and out came the Arnotts biscuits. I admit, I caved. Nothing else of note to say today, except I didn’t do any formal exercise, but I did go for a walk at lunch and was gone for an hour and a half (some of that time was in the shops) so while I can’t actually log the time (due to non wearing of HRM) I did do some, so I’m just putting that exercise in the back of my head as a pleasant surprise for later. Oh and on non 12WBT news, got...
Read More12WBT day thirty seven – Takeaway day
Today I had lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. We went to a little eatery near work, and the menu was full of rich pasta dishes and crusty breads and bad bad bad food. I was a little overwhelmed because I just didn’t know what to have, so in the end I settled for a chicken salad, which came with roasted veggies. I really have no idea how many calories was in it, but I’m going to guess and say about 500 but in all honesty it could have been more, I’m just not...
Read More12WBT day thirty six – Nearly weigh in
Getting a little nervous about doing weigh in tomorrow. With my slackness this week, no exercise happening, I’m quite frankly shakin in my boots. A pretty non eventful day today though, working and eating. Exciting stuff. So here are my daily stats: FoodCalories in BOats with 2t brown sugar, ½ cup milk & medium apple 307 S1 Forme satisfy strawberry yoghurt85 LChicken and corn soup316 SPunnet of strawberries & Be natural bar175 DPrawn pad...
Read More12WBT day thirty five – Feels like starting again
After being on holidays and then being sick all last week, today felt like I was starting the 12 week challenge all over again. Back were the hunger pains, back was my continuous thinking about food and back was my obsessing about food and exercise. The weird thing is, while I was away on holidays and while I was sick, I wasn’t even hungry, I would eat my breakfast and that was it, there was no more thought about food until sometime in the afternoon when I would think it’s time for...
Read More12WBT day thirty – Back into food swing
So today was weigh day. I actually managed to lose 600gm this week, which was a complete and utter surprise to me and I have to say I was pretty thrilled that I lost that, as I was pretty sure that I was going to gain. However, I’m certainly not going to let myself slip up quite like I did last week, it really was a disaster. No more take away food, no more nights with meals unplanned. Now I really need to work on ramping up the exercise and I will be completely back on track. The...
Read More12WBT day twenty nine – Slowly back on track
Not a lot to report from today, I’m still home from work sick with a flu. However, I’m happy to report, that while I haven’t done any exercise (which I really am putting down to the fact that it’s hard to get any air into my lungs due to the cold) I have been eating a lot healthier again today. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m sick and just not really hungry or because I’m finally getting back on track. I like to think it’s because...
Read More12WBT day eighteen – Slacking off with exercise
I admit I have been very very slack with the exercise this week. I feel as if I have been fighting off a flu, feeling very rundown and generally off colour. I’ve been trying to keep up with the healthy eating, and have succeeded pretty well, though this evening I did splash out and buy some Darrel Lea licorice and I had two pieces of that. So I have gone about 5 calories over my 1200 today which I’m comfortable with. Having a very bad unmotivated want to quit day today. On another...
Read More12WBT day seventeet – Daily stats
Nothing further to add from earlier post. I’m in a pretty pissy mood right now, which has nothing to do with the challenge, apart from the fact that I’m just pissy with myself for not doing any exercise today. I can’t decide if I want to continue my lunch walks or not. I just need a chill day, where I don’t have to think about work, the challenge or home or ANYTHING. I’m having a “Please world open up and swallow me day”. So daily stats for...
