Weigh in,work out,dance off and party away!

Weight hasn’t decreased this week.. no suprises there..
Went for a run this mornin… about 20-30mins… not too long.

Haven’t worked out since i got back from canada which was two weeks ago!!!
I’ve started dancin randomly all the time!! If im around the house and a good song comes on i just start dancin! Its fantastic because it burns a few extra calories here and there whilst keeping a smile on my face!!
I’ve got a mad week this week … Today im working 2-7.30 which is quite a sitting/standing around kinda job in a library. I get alot of my coursework done whilst im there (its a brilliant student job!!) and often sit and do stomach and bum toning exercises whilst sat around!

I’m going to a party tonight. I’m eating before i go so if theres any snacks i won’t eat any of them (im determined!!) and an ex-boyfriend of mine will be there so im determined to show him what he’s missing (he bad mouths me abit these days…) but my current boyf will be there (they’re friends oddly) so it should be ok. im quite looking forward to it actually!!

Food Diary:
Brunch - 2 slices of wholemeal toast w/ low cal spread. Half a can of baked beans. a fruit yoghurt.
Snack will be an apple.
Dinner will be lasagne and salad. (yummm!)

Im also gonna keep a bottle of water by my side constantly whilst at work :)

The other problem is this party IS going to be abit of a piss-up. (British term not sure if you americans use it… i dont mean wee-ing on the celing! it means lots of alcohol will be consumed) …. im gonna stick to white wine spritzers (sparkled with fizzing water) keep it as low cal as poss!!

Anyway i’ll shut up now :)

Hope everyones having a great tuesday!

Weigh in tomorrow

and im not looking forward to it at all.

I ate too much today [Inc. a binge which im ashamed of]. But i got my exercise in over the weekend.. and added extra movement whereever i could.

Im gonna have normal dinner tonight and im not hungry after my binge this afternoon so i wont eat much.

Had a lovely weekend with friends this weekend though and i am feeling more positive for the week ahead.

Goal: to make it to the end of the summer hols without binging.
Allowance: Alcohol. (im partying lots) but allow myself a bit of alcohol and refusing party food. (plus make sure i have someone there keeping an eye on me telling me not to eat)

 Hope y’all had a good weekend :) xx

Emergency Advice needed before tonight..

HELPPP! going for a girlie night in tonight … involving a few bottles of wine and a chinese takeaway and i imagine lots of chocolate or icecream for eating with DVD’s.

How can i avoid this being a HUGE disaster???

doing okay..

I did well yesterday :) just little things that i was proud of.   Eg. only having one of the sweets i was giving to kids at work.. and not having any cheese with my dinner last night.  Today im going out for a bikeride with a friend.. and then we’re doing lunch .. so i’m gonna be on my best behaviour!! I feel like yesterday was a success… so i’m determined that today will be aswell :D

How are you all today?    (anyone from the UK wondering where the summer’s got to?!?!)

finding the rails i fell off..

6 months ago i’d lost 10lbs from my original then couldnt seem to get rid of any more. Then i fell off the rails again. I weighed myself for the first time this morning and im back up 5lbs. Im frustrated :(  But the thing about a gain is that it makes you re-set your goals and start a-fresh. So thats what im doing.

My plan is simple. Im going to stop focussnig on crazy amounts of exercise, and for the moment just concentrate on my eating. Once i’ve set my habits into place i’ll look to increase my exercise bit by bit.

:)

Im excited to change again.

Goal #1:   4lbs lost by the time i go back to college in 3 weeks (8th September)

I’ll keep you all updated :) xx
             

Search for weight loss buddy..

Hey Everyone :)  My names Kate, Im from the UK and im looking for someone to talk to everyday (or almost every day) to check in with and tell them about what you did/ate that day and how we’re feeling  :)   and ofcourse sharing tips, advice and being there when the going gets tough..

This is my story:

I’ve always been overweight since i was little. By the time i hit around 16 i was desperate to change. I lost about 2 stone (28lbs) but put it all back on again very quickly. I’m now deturmined to do it again but to keep it off this time. For good.  I binge eat, I obsess over food (I think i have C.O.D - compulsive overeating disorder .. look it up on the web)

Why? - for my self confidence, so that i believe my boyfriend when he tells me i’m beautiful, to be able to shop and buy ANYTHING!

Goals - I’m gonna edit my profile later and re-set all my goals. My first goal is to stick it out for the summer, and to make a noticeable difference for when i go back to college in September. (It’s also my 1st anniversary with my boyfriend on the 6th September so i’d like to feel great for that.)

Let me know if you’re interested :)))
