Disappointed in myself

Wow ladies it has been a while since I have been on and there is a reason for that. I have been lazy. I have been inactive (except for my Zumba) and am bitterly disappointed in myself. It is for no particular reason other than the fact that I have no motivation. It has been so cold in the mornings and I just can't get out of bed to go for a walk and well (especially over these school holidays) I can't exactly go out for a walk whenever I like - even if it weren't the holidays.

I have been eating crap but not only eating crap - I have been eating too much. Like I have been eating past the point where I am full. So instead of stopping when I start feeling full I am just eating. I don't know why and I feel terribly guilty when I do - A. Coz I don't want to get fat again (hell I have bought so many new clothes recently) and B. Coz I still have so many goals I want to reach in my weightloss. I guess it was easy when I did the 12 week challenge as I had something to strive for. There was a prize at the end that I was determined to win but now there is nothing. I want to do bootcamp but it is at a time in the mornings that I can't make it home before my DH needs to go to work. I would also love to do Pilates but have to look in to that one. Hoping I can do it on a wednesday night after my ZIM free sessions run out. I don't know. I guess I am just putting my thoughts out there as I don't really feel like I have anyone to talk to about this.

I haven't put on any weight thankfully but if I continue to do this then I will put on those dreaded kgs and again I will be very disappointed in myself. I really would love to have a person close to my house that was trying to do the same thing - you know walking, weightloss etc etc. No matter. I will get there.

bye

Update Update Update

Wow gosh I just can't believe how long it has been since I posted on here. So sorry for no updates.

As soon as the 12wk Challenge finished I hit a plateau. I was sitting at 76kgs since the weighin. Eeeekkk...!!!! I guess that makes it nearly two months of sitting there but wasn't worried too much as my clothes are loser and I - get this- fit in to a size 12/13 jeans. Yay...!!! Oh you don't know how long it has been since I last fit in to jeans that small. But I will say that I would imagine that Jeanswest make their jeans that little bit bigger - but you know what it will be my little secret. LOL.

Anyway I weighed myself this morning I am down to 74.8kgs. Yay....!!! I have reached another weightloss goal. I got under 75kgs. Woo hoo....!!! So damn happy you would not believe. Now on to the next goal. To get under 70kgs. It has been a long time since I was that weight so will be interesting to see how long it takes me to lose 5kgs. I am hoping I lose it in the next three months. I am now back in to the walking so should hopefully make a difference. I saw a girlfriend last weekend that hadn't seen me for a while and she kept saying - "I can't believe how much weight you have lost". Hahaha was a wonderful compliment and made me feel very confident. She makes me feel good. So onward and upward.

How is everyone else doing with their weightloss goals....????

Hope you are doing well.

This is Zuzanna from Bodyrock. I want to look

amazing like her. Do you reckon it is possible...???

I hope so.

I won I won - Booya......lol

Here is a photo of me with the finalists of the 12 Week Zumba in Melbourne challenge. Unfortunately I don't know all the names but 2nd from the left is Gina, Jason (Amy's husband), Amy, Chris and then me. The one down front and cenre is Tracy (Zumba instructor).

Absolutely over the moon that I won but looking at that photo I still have a long way to go but hoping that over the next 3-6mths I will lose another 9-10kgs which is so achievable. Need to - still not happy with myself but so much happier than I was before.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Side view

You can see the difference in my face and look at that butt....!!!! Yay.

I went shopping after my weigh in as my reward to myself and I spent - Hold you breath - $265 on clothes at Rebelsport. Woot. Was lots of fun. Now I have smaller clothes for myself and warmer ones for Winter. Yay.

Yep another post

Hey lovely ladies. How are we all going...?? Good I hope. Well here in this neck of the woods we are cruising along. I guess in the scheme of things we are all doing wonderful. School holidays suck and with this rain the kids have cabin fever and I also am annoyed as I can't go for a walk in the mornings. Talk about depressing weather.

Let's see. In weight loss news I decided to weigh myself yesterday and I am down to 76kgs. That means if it is right I have actually lost 10.7kgs. Yay. My first major goal has been achieved. Now on to the next goal - to get down to 70kgs. Once I have got there I want to get down to 64kgs - my goal weight. I think I can do it and I am sure with the support I am currently getting I will be motivated enough to get there. The Zumba in Melbourne team have been my best motivators and hopefully they will continue even after this challenge is over.

This coming Saturday morning I have my weighin. Eeeeekkkk....!!! Wish me luck. I want to win win win LOL. On the Thursday following they are doing a Zumba Party with the winner of the challenge being annouced. Should be heaps of fun. Bring it baby. I am staying positive but of course there were 39 other participants.

Okay that is all for today. Thanks for reading my rants.

12 Week Challenge officially over

Wow it has been 12 weeks already on the Weight Loss challenge and I am pleased to say that I have lost a lovely 9.5kgs. Woo hoo. Yay....!!! So so so rapt about it. I didn't weigh myself today but that is what I weighed last week so I am sticking to it. So that means I now weigh 77.2 kgs. Woo hoo. Another 3kgs and I will be down to the weight I was when I got pregnant with my little Miss. So basically it has been 4yrs since I weighed this weight.

It has been a challenge over the last two weeks. My eldest had his birthday on the 23rd of March and my other son had his birthday on the 6th of April so I had naughty food. But hey it is a special occasion and I truly did need a little break. Apart from that I haven't done much. I was trying to walk two times a day whilst my hubby was on three weeks of holidays but I was suffering from bad headaches and nausea. Don't know why and the Dr wasn't much help. Doesn't matter though now as the headaches are not as severe so can go walking again. Woot.

Will have my weigh in on Saturday so essentially have another week to get some weight off. Wish me luck. I would love to lose 10kgs in total.

Been a while

So sorry girls for not updating you all for a while. I have been busy and just have lost track of everything.

I am pleased to say that I am under 80kgs now. I weighed myself this morning and now weigh 78.8kgs. I am so so so rapt. I have upped my exercise to two walks a day if I can manage it as well as my usual Zumba classes twice a week. I am finding that even though I am tired from getting up early in the morning I have more energy - if that makes any sense at all. Hubby is on holidays for the next three weeks so I am sure I will be able to get lots of walking and exercising in - although the front garden is getting a major overhaul so I will hopefully be out there working all those muscles. LOL.

How is everyone else going....???

I decided to buy myself some more Green Coffee 800. It is basically just like Green Tea but in powdered coffee form so it is perfect for me. I am obviously still retaining a lot of water as I am peeing like a trooper. LOL. I suppose it is a good thing as it is making me drink more water.

Okay that is my update for now. I found a new product that I love. Lorna Jane Pammy Crop. Even if you have big breasts like me they look super good with the padding (which I have never had in a bra) and it also gives you really good support. I now have three of them - white, black and pink.

Take care

Pammy Crop
