Gym membership

So its been ages since I posted...

Im down to 121 Kilos which means a 19.6 kilos weightloss! yay!

on Friday I went to the local Gym, which is Anytime Fitness and signed up for a 7 day free trial.

I talked to the lady there who was really nice, I know they get paid to be nice but she was really nice to me and helpful. I started talking to her about my goal, weightloss obviously and getting focused and happy during work and Uni.

I told her about my lap band, she said she had a friend who is getting one in 2 weeks and we talked about it....

I dont want to be the kind of person who gets this surgery and just lets it do all the work for them.... I want to use this as a tool to its best abilities...

Im excited about going to the gym... Ive got all my stuff, got ome really good exercise shoes, I have very stupid feet and they are impossible to find shoes for. But i found some New balance shoes that are very wide so they feel fantastic on my feet.... aside from the two giant blisters on my toes that I have from wearing some $15 BigW shoes that I bought.

I havent had good exercise shoes... ever... Ive always bought cheap ones...
These ones feel fantastic.Very Happy....

I also got some cute work out clothes, a Bright green polo shirt and 3/4 length track pants, I love them! I look so skinny! well not skinny... but i look like ive lost alot of weight!

43lbs down in 3 months, Im very very happy.

Now its time to kick in the exercise and live the life that I want to live!

So im going to go to the gym as soon as ive woken up in the morning, being I wake up at 5:00 and it takes 20 mins to get to the gym I joined. So 5:30 am Gym time (the OH wakes up at 5:00 so it wont be hard to wake up at that time cause I generally do anyway). Im going to do a work out and then drive the 5 mins from the gym to work (it takes 25mins to get to work each day and the gym is on the way).

I also tried on a wedding dress, was way too big for me, but it was soo pretty =)

Very excited to finally go and do a proper wedding dress shop!

ANyway that is all I think i might go have a nanny nap... i be sleepy

Softdrink = Nasty Drink!

Ok I just had to post this! I had a drink of soft drink, first time in nearly 3 months... and omg! FERAL! it was disgusting! like... bubbly water with sugar! thats all it is really but jesus!

anyone wanting to give up soft drink, stop drinking it for 3 months... fantasize about how good it used to taste... then have a drink of it and vomit!

21/2/2010

So its Sunday, And I took Will (the Step Son) to a local scout camp where my mum (who is a cub scout leader) was for Braiden Powell's Birthday party thing (braiden powell (sp?) is the founder of scouts just so those who dont know are up to date).
Went for a fricken long hike... or Bush Bash rather.... down and then back up a hill....

Then I went with Luke to help mow my mums lawn... Yes... I mowed a lawn... With a real... pull the cable to get it started Lawn Mower!

And with all this exercise that I have done today, What have I eaten in order to make it productive?

a english muffin with 3 eggs for breakfast, Juice, a small packet of chips, cruskits with vegemite, and In the oven right now is half a pizza made with olive oil, prawns, sundried tomato feta, cherry tomatos and sweet chilli sauce... and i will be putting light sour cream on top...


Failure of a day?
Yes

So i get to spend one precious night with my Fiance... One night without his son being here... And where am I?

In my bedroom, on my bed.... Alone... yes... alone.

Why?

Because he has started smoking again. And I have been unaware for the last 5 days that he has been puffing away.

Im so angry at him.Im so dissapointed at him... and I feel betrayed. Because I got engaged to him under the pretext that he wasnt going to smoke ever again.

He never really does smoke... he just has these phases when he does. and I catch him out get hurt cause he lied to me and then he promises to quit again.

Im just tired and was looking forward to spending a lovely night with my fiance alone... and now I cant even go near him cause he stinks.....

I hate the smell of tabacco, it reminds me of my father, who I love, but he stinks and it reminds me of every bad memory I have of my childhood.

And its not something you really wanna be reminded of when you kiss your partner....

He wasnt a smoker when I started dating him. And about 3 weeks into our relationship he was having a coffee and lit up a cigarette, And i told him if he smoked that I was leaving, and that I didnt want to date a smoker. And he smoked it cause he didnt like being told what to do, so I left.

Thats where he first promised not to smoke again. Then there were countless times when he could take it back up again and then i would have a fight with him and then he would give it up again. The cycle of smoking.

anyway.... Theres my ramble... ive lost 18 kilos as of this morning YAY!


My Quote:
Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement


My Goal:
25kilos lost before the 30th June (19 weeks), I have lost 3 of those Kilos

19/02/2010

In spite of my failure in the last couple of days, I have still lost .6kilos ( 1 pound ) since Wednesday, making my progress towards my 25kilo (55lb) loss before the 30th June, 3 kilos (6.6 pounds). Pretty good for week 1 if I do say so myself!
My aim was to hit 1.3 kilos loss per week, Ive doubled it this week and hopefully will loose some more weight before the end of the week and extra weight next week as I have my 3rd fill that will compensate for any plateau-ing.
I dont know if I want to tell my band doctor about my goal.. They seem to really want you to loose slowly and stay on a normal eating, just smaller amounts diet. I dunno maybe if I told her I'm aiming to get below 100kilos by the end of this financial year so I can spend the next financial year bellow 100.

I am in the accounting trade so we go via financial years, So i have found myself putting more importance on financial years than I do calendar years. I would love to start to 2011 financial year bellow 100 and then I could aim for my goal (30 kilos from it if i got to 100) for next summer, (december in Australia) Which I probably wont be able to get to because I know when you have plenty to loose it will come off quickly but once you get closer to that magic number its starts to really slow down.

I dont care, If I am bellow 100, then I will be able to go to the beach with the boys next year and be able to enjoy myself. This year I wasnt and whenever the OH looked dissapointed because I wasnt going to go into the pool with them or to the beach with them I promised him that next year, I will come.

I use the whole, I hate beaches, sand gets everywhere, Excuse... when reality is... I hate walking along the beach cause the sand falls out from under you and makes your ankle twist and an ankle twisting with 120-130 kilos ontop of it is not fun, and I dont want to get into the water cause I dont want to show off my legs cause i have calfs the size of tree trunks.

I have another quote:

You may be on the right track you will get run over if you just sit there.

I'll try and post these on all my posts... I like them and they keep me motivated.

18th February

So Im having a fail of a couple of days...

Havent really been good.... Been very Bad actually...

I would like to kick myself back into gear... I would love to loose a bit of weight before my next fill.. Suprise the fill dr.

And get bellow 120... omg bellow 120 XD

Just posting... That is all....

25% of the way!

Ok well although my scale bumped back up this morning, im going to ignore that number and go from what it said yesterday cause I did eat a big dinner last night and I havent... gone to the bathroom yet.

I am 25% of the way to my goal! Granted you would have to round up the 24.7% to 25... But 25% of the way there!

Im hoping to still reach my 55lbs goal by the 30th June 2010. Which ive got 10% of the way there so far... Im kicking my ass back into gear and going to exercise next week, ive just had a sore ankle this week... *excuses excuses*

3rd Fill is coming up for Thursday next week. Very much looking forward to that! FILL ME UP! I have restriction... But its not good restriction. and its starting to fade...

Thing i have learnt about my band though is that if I drink heaps of fluid it is quite loose and I can eat almost ANYTHING, but if I dont drink much water... dont even try to eat anything solid.

I guess this may be the same for alot of people.

Valentines day!

Hey Blog...

So I went out last night, Thats was alright, went to a guys house for his birthday havent seen him in ages. there were alot of people there.

His brother was there, and his brother used to be very chubby and well no he used to be obese and there was this guy there that was tall, buff and blonde and my friend I came with was talkign to him and saying that he had lost alot of weight and was looking good... and I was looking between her and him going... I know this guy... until Kat looked at me and said... Oh you dont recognise him do you! It was the brother. He'd lost a fuck load of weight and was looking really buff.

Made me start thinking.. Frick I wanna be in that position.... where people dont recognise me cause im so skinny. =(

I just got a bunch of roses =) yay!

Im going to go have breakfast soon... Im back on Opti Fast. in order to reach my goal. Will try and do some exercise tomorrow morning before work but we shall see how that goes.

The boys wanna go to the beach but yeah im not going.

Alright well that is all... farewell

11/02/10

So Im noticing some differences in myself... Some major ones. My engagement ring is starting to feel weird because i can move it so easily... Thats probably the one place I dont want to loose weight in because I dont want to have to get to the stage where I cant wear it.

I dont think i wrote about my embarrising moment the other day...

When I started my Pre-op diet I took a stark Naked photo of myself up front and to the side. So I can see the real, bare naked different in my body. The other day I took another one cause im 15kilos down and there are differences. I did have the intention on Comparing the two but I cant find where I put the first photo on my computer... (I hid it so no one could find it... Now I cant)

I had to go and print off some photos because my OH and I had an engagement party on the 23rd of January and my lovely Uncle took photos for us. I also took some photos on my camera before the event and of some friends. So I loaded up all the photos onto a USB stick, strolled down to the store, popped in the USB Stick. And up comes 2 Naked photos of myself. In the middle of the store. Guess I found them.

Could have just died... right there...

Up side... I can see a difference in my body.

Monday

I wish I had something funny to talk about... Or I could write witty and comical posts like those I follow... But I cant... Cause I'm not funny... Im turning into a true accountant...

So today I got stuck... twice, Which seems to be a bit of a continuous thing with me...

I guess i need to really learn what im doing...

So I did my 2 miles this morning HAZZAH! Go me.

And, I dont know what else to write...

I have very cute dogs by the way...

But im hoping for hanky panky time tonight with the Fiance.... He really doesnt have an option... I will result to rape... Its been too long

Question, What do you do if your step son is being teased and bashed in school and is only in Grade 3.

Ok well Im outie... Going to go dream of being skinny

New Goal!

Ok Im setting myself a new goal!

I want to be at 99kilos by the 16th of May 2010!

Thats a 25 kilo loss in 15 weeks.... Most likely not going to happen so i have a "I'd be happy with goal" of 110 which is roughly the weight I was when I met my Fiance. Thats a 15 kilo loss in 15 weeks. Which I am pretty sure I can do. with 2 fills in between.

So thats my goals!

I lost 1 kilo this week, which I do not deserve as I have been eating horribly and not exercising.

The scale this morning said I have put it back on though... so uh oh!

So Im going to be dieting, well not dieting because dieting got me to this spot. Im going to be watching what goes into my mouth, Im going to eat cruskits as snacks, or an apple or tea. No biscuits, or musli bars or whatever.

Also going to eat off of a small plate instead of a normal size one.And im not going to fill it up. And I wont eat unless Im hungry...

These are basically the Bandster rules I think... So in order to reach my goal. Im going to follow them... And exercise! did a 2 mile aerobic walk thanks to Leslie Sansone and her lovely team. Feeling good.

Will update soon
