| One step at a time... |
| 08.24.05 (2:42 pm) [edit] |
Well I got to the gym yesterday which was a 'Yay me!'. I sooo didn't want to go, but I had no excuse why not, so I just went. I kept thinking about what AJ said in her book about just pushing it till you can't, then just a bit more. OK, so I didn't really get that 'bit more' but I did push it a little, especially considering I didn't even want to be there. Didn't do a huge session, but I did RUN on the treadmill for a couple of minutes, which I've only ever done once. I'm going to start to run a bit more now. Each time I go I think. 5 mins at least. Work it up.
Have been terrible unfocussed this week. Have just joined a craft consultancy so all my energy is going there at the moment, playing with craft things, making up my demonstration kit and planning advertisements. I guess in this, I also haven't really binged on anything, coz my mind has definitely been otherwise occupied. But I could definitely focus a bit more in what is going into my mouth.

| Been a bad bad girl... |
| 08.20.05 (9:30 pm) [edit] |
to say the least! I think I ate more this weekend than I normally would (or should) in a week! And enough sugar, chocolate, biscuits, cakes for at least a few months! Bad, bad, bad...
Guess I left my will-power at home this weekend. We were away on a church retreat, and I really did go way overboard. It was disgustingly out of control. But, gotta just pick myself up, dust myself off and vow and plan to have a good week to make up for it.
Was planning to go to the gym tomorrow but now I have to babysit my friends gorgeous 9-month old daughter. After this whole weekend with her and another gorgeous little baby girl, I am sooo clucky again! Oh no! Dangerous! So I'll have a wonderful time with her tomorrow. Maybe she'll be rotten and put us off having babies now!! LOL.... I doubt it - babies are so cute...
So gym - Tuesday definitely. Hopefully sometime Wed too, or maybe a walk in the morning or afternoon as Greg has the day off..... and a few more sessions later in the week - I just gotta!
Have a good week all, hope you've been better than I.

| Ouch!! |

Man... am I SORE!!! Oh, every part of my body aaaaches.... but, I WENT BACK TO GYM!! Yay me!! Tell you about feeling unfit. Realised it had been almost a month since I did my weights, which was why I really felt it today I bet... but I went, I did them, plus a bit of cardio and I hurt, but it feels good... one down for this week, two more to go....
Another Yay me! Bought my AJ book yesterday (Lazy Girl's Guide) and have started reading it. Love the way this girl writes. Am looking forward to each session I have with the book, and to my future as a slimmer woman!
Go girls!

| New shoes!! |
| 08.12.05 (8:11 pm) [edit] |
Well, I realised yesterday that I didn't really have time to go out and get my AJ book, so I don't have it yet... I did look for it today and did find it in Dymocks book store, but I'm hanging out to find it in Target or Big W somewhere so I can get it for closer to $20 than $30 as they are usually cheaper than RRP... does anyone know of any Targets or BigWs in Brisbane that have it???
Anyway, today I did get NEW SHOES!! Yay, pretty, girly shoes and I feel all feminine again... one pair is black, my first pointy pair, no back with a pretty criss-cross detail.. the second pair is PINK (yay!) and have a strap across front with a little buckle - and both have heels and I'm ginormous in them! LOL... so pretty though!!
And yes, B, I HAVE seen the new stuff out at Target and isn't it all just divine! Was in there today (got my shoes there), but ran out of time to try some stuff on so I'll have to go back!! I'm thinking of getting the pink skirt (pg2 of catalogue) in size 14 so I can motivate myself to get into it - or is it a hopeless dream and I should just get the 16???

| I still exist!! |
| 08.11.05 (7:58 pm) [edit] |
No, I haven't fallen off the face off the planet, I still exist.. although I have majorly fallen off the wagon - again... seems a recurring thing huh....
Just seemed to have lost all focus over the last couple of weeks. Just haven't been bothered - and dieting has certainly not been on my priority list - naughty I know...
Am just chatting to the wonderful Deb, who has been powering through this week and she's given me a *bit* of motivation to plan something for the week ahead. No more challenges for me either, I just need to focus right now on actually caring about my weight loss again...
I'm scared to get on the scales.
So, I've just printed out the first week of the *Steps* diet I was mentioning last time I posted, and am going to see what I can fit from this weeks groceries which I've already done into the diet plan, and just try to do well otherwise....
And I'm going to get to the gym more than once this week (even if it's only twice...).
And hell, you know what - I'm going to go down to Garden City or Carindale right now and buy me AJs book - I think I need it hey!!
Good weekend to all.
