Walking myself thin..

Its been almost 2 weeks now since i have been walking almost 6km a day.I am so proud of myself and i am feeling the change in my body.What am i doing differently now,one may ask....well i am not doing it on my own now.I am now joined by 2 of my neighbours who are also full time moms and house wives like myself and we have been exercising together from day one,Wed 8 Sept 2010.Sometimes i do feel like not exercising but those two ladies inspire me so much and have kept me in line and i am actually shedding the kilos.Tomorrow is the weighing day.Last week i had gone from being 87.0kg to being 85.2kg.So...i can say so far so good.No more dieting for me but rather some lifestyle changes and portion control.

Eating Right

I never thought i would ever be one of those people who were going to be overweight.I dont want to think about how i looked about 5 years ago,it is not going to help me at all.I have decided to love myself as i am and therefore be kind to my body.I am watching what goes into my mouth now and i am drinking lots of water.So far so good and thanks again to the support from my dearest friend.Today i had wholewheat bread,brown rice,boiled cabbage and i am making the necessary baby steps and i am going to get there.Today i bought one of those loose a dress size tights and it was amazing how they transformed my belly into a flat sexy tummy.I had an amazing feeling of how gorgeous i was,and i loved it and loved how i looked in my dresses.I was like a child ,changing from one outfit to another just to see how fabulous i looked with a flatter tummy.I am so motivated right now because i saw the potential in me which i was beginning to think was not there,,,,Anyway

THE BATTLE IS STILL ON...

I am so proud of myself and what i have accomplished so far.I have been exercising since the first of July and only skipped a week when my son was in hospital.I have decided to do aerobics at least twice a day.I can feel my tummy is not bloated anymore although it definitely still needs more work.I have now added acai berry to my programme and hopefully it will help.My best friend whom i think has the most gorgeous body has been so supportive.She has been encouraging in so many ways and also came up with an idea that we weigh each other once a month.I hope i wont let myself down again.

Working on my abs ..

Hip hop abs is a work out for serious people.It's hectic hey, but i am feeling it.Sometimes i feel like giving up and just be, but the thought of buying new clothes with a new dress size motivates me.I cannot give up this fight for so many reasons.Being fat restricts you from doing so many exciting activities,no i am definitely not talking about sports but ....sex.

I am back..

Its been almost two months since my last posting and its been a tough ride.I never recovered from that 13 day diet and my down fall was on the day when the menu said i could eat whatever i wanted.I should have realised that old trick, and i of cause fell for it and went all out with pizza.I have gained more weight and i now weigh 85kg which is the heaviest that i have been all my life.I will try my utmost best to eat food in small portions even my favourite because i have learnt the hard way about this dieting thing.It is true, i need to change my life style completely for me to get to my goal.Anyway...

Eating Healthy

In total i did loose weight after 13 days but it was 1.7kg.I was disappointed with myself because i knew it could have been more.Anyway i am now trying to practice eating healthy and cutting out harmful food and hopefully in 12 weeks or so i will have lost more weight.I am going to weigh myself weekly though... every Monday morning.

Day 11 - New Me

Its been really difficult ever since pizza night but im back on track and i will weigh myself on Day 14, Monday morning.I am so angry with myself for going off track after so many days of eating crap.I weighed myself today and it was 81.0kg.I have gained 0.5kg and dropped my overall weightloss to 1.7kg from 2.2kg.Anyway i will not weigh again till Monday morning ( Day 14 ).After the 13 day diet, i will continue eating healthy and in small portion and hopefully i will get to my healthy weight of at least 65kg.

Day 6 & 7 New Me

Sorry guys,for not giving feedback yesterday.I had a hectic day buying some stuff for the house and with the energy that i have been having, i try to keep myself busy so that i burn fat.lol.Otherwise today was the best day because for supper i could have anything even food that is not on the diet menu......I was so looking forward to my sweet chilli chicken pizza but could not finish my second slice.Maybe its because i drank lots of water before eating and it helped not eat too much.I will weigh myself on Day 9 in the morning.

Day 5 - New Me

I couldnt resist it anymore ,.......i just weighed myself and my start weight was 82.70kgs and now im 80.50kgs.........im so happy.I have lost 2.2kgs and today is the 5th day.My cousin visited my family today and tried to tempt me using so many tactics and i did not fall for any of it.Im so proud of myself and i hope this feeling that i have continues and pushes me on and not just for the 13 days of this diet, but also i hope it pushes me to eat healthy from now on.I can not explain how i feel physically.Yesterday i thought of adding my own twist to the 13 day diet.HIP HOP ABS.I exercised last night doing aerobics and dance moves from Hip Hop Abs Dvd.I felt the workout and i hope it helps.

Rough day

Ok.maybe i was a bit excited in the morning but i can honestly say today was terrible.I had carrots and cheese in the afternoon and fruit salad and yoghurt for dinner.I am so hungry right now...but....eeish....im....in....control of this thing.

My start weight

My start weight for my journey is 82.7kgs.That is a lot and i refuse to stay in this unhealthy state.

Day 3 - New Me

I am feeling great today and i must say the coffee with no sugar is still terrible.I have noticed that my stomach is smaller, im no longer feeling bloated like i used to.This is the longest i have ever been on a diet without cheating and its only been 3 days.I am so proud of myself because i had no idea that i had it in me, ME ....SAYING NO TO FOOD....its really a BIG achievement for me.

Day 2 - New Me

Yesterday was more difficult than i ever thought it would be.I had visitors over and had to bake cupcakes for them.You can imagine the aroma,in the whole house of the baking and the most challenging part was i could not even eat one of those cupcakes.Anyway its day two now,its a bit better but the coffee without sugar is like the worst punishment ever.I have just finished preparing my lunch and i have been drinking loads of water which really helped with the hunger.Anway....

Day 1 - New Me

Today i started dieting again.Anyway i hope this time i will stick to it and get results.Im excited though and i cant wait to see the results in 13days as the diet claims.I am not going to lie though, i feel so hungry and its really difficult especially with cooking dinner for the family.Day one is almost over and im so proud of myself ...so far and im looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanking a friend

Its amazing how you can have that one person who always has your back. In my life i do have such a person apart from my husband, who has been there for me since i started working and my journey as an adult. She has supported me through my victories and loses.She has never judged me and has been supportive of the decisions that i have made in my journey regardless of whether she disagreed or not. I love her like she a sister and she really has my back.Thank you my friend.

Rough week

It has been a bit stressful the past week and i did not exercise. It started with me having to do somethings early in the morning for the first two days and it ended up being a week. I started again yesterday with aerobics and could not finish the whole 30mins.

I have been exercising for 5 days straight now.Its the longest time that i have committed to exercising and actually went through with it.Anyway we will see how it goes.I have challenged myself and i keep hearing that voice in me that ...what the hell..let me just eat and we will see but then again there is that voice of reason saying girl...you need to look good.

My own blog
