I’m back baby… Running that is
Today’s daily food intake… Okay, maybe not running, but I’m back to my shuffling. So WooHoo and yay me! Admittedly it took me two days more than I was saying it would. I swore I was going to get back out there on Friday and do it, but woke up so sore that I just couldn’t physically do it, and then I just lost my nerve. I know it sounds stupid for me to be scared to go for a shuffle/jog after only a little tumble, and it’s really hard to put into words the stupid irrational...
Read MoreSunburnt and sore
Today’s daily food intake… Just a quick post tonight, we haven’t been home for long and I’m absolutely knackered. Had a very busy Australia Day today. Went to the national park and climbed Stamford Hill (will post pics tomorrow) and then went around to a really nice secluded beach while we were in the national park and went snorkelling, which was a first for me. I spent so long swimming against the current, that I’m sure I burnt a lot of calories, but I have no idea....
Read MoreTomahawk’s quilt
(Image heavy post to follow) Back in March my little baby sister called me to tell me that she was expecting her first child. I cannot tell you how excited I was. I haven’t had a baby niece or nephew for 17 years now, so another baby in the family is a fantastic thing. Straight away I thought that I would make her a quilt for the baby. Now my sister is – alternative – I always thought hippy, but that’s not what she says – she calls herself alternative. I knew that...
Read MoreAdieu 12wbt, it was fun while it lasted
So long since I’ve posted and so much has been going on. The most significant thing that has happened is that Round 2 of 12WBT has officially ended. My goal going into the 12wbt was to lose 10kg and get down to 100kg even. Well I am very proud to say that I did it!!! And beat my goal by a whole 200gm. Officially over the course of the program I lost 10.7kg which equates to 9.7% of my body weight, which is a fair effort. I suppose in the back of my mind I know that I could have done...
Read More12WBT day seventy one – Hanging in there
WOW I can’t believe it’s been a week since I last posted. I keep meaning to post, but this week has been so busy and by the time I sit down to the computer I’m just knackered and the last thing I think about doing is sitting down and writing. To be honest, tonight is a bit like that, but I’m here, and I’m writing. The last week has been really good. I’ve been eating really well (again, you have to trust me, due to lack of daily stats) and I’ve been...
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 MoreIt’s the small things
Yes, I know I have been extremely slack in updating the blog lately. I’ve also been pretty slack in keeping my own eating diary up to date, which is pretty bad, because I tend to forget things if they aren’t written down. But I know that I’ve been eating okay, because my diet tends to be pretty much the same I know that I’m doing okay by the loss on the scales. But you know how it goes, life just gets in the way of “stuff”, in this instance, life just got in the way of blogging. And...
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...
