CHEAT

So this morning i weighed in 4kg less than i did this time last week and all i can think of is that i have cheated my way to being here. On the one hand i am proud that i stuck to the urban remedy detox to the letter of the law and have since been following a body science meal plan stictly but on the other had i think i wouldn't have such a big number had a not been on the juice detox.
My personal trainer wasn't happy that i had opted for the juice detox wasn't happy at all she suggested that it is just water weight and was dangerous and not healthy which i totally accept and to a degree accept.
The whole reason i wanted to do the detox was to draw a line in the sand with my add a kilo lose a kilo approach to weight loss and to break some cravings for sugar, salt and fat.
I just want to stick with it keep up my momentum and get it done. I also quite like having my meals mapped out for me via a meal plan menu provided they aren't to difficult (which they aren't with body science)i find it gives me something to focus on food and calorie wise and i am more interested in sticking to the plan rather than thinking too many other thoughts about food.
I have giving up coffee now and am full time on herbal teas and water and now i will only drink coffee when out and about.

Urban remedy detox day 2

Good news is i lost 1.3kg overnight but i guess that is expected when you only consumer juice for 1 day.
I don't feel hungry but i feel tired and a little dizzy at times. That didn't stop me from doing RPM last night i'm still undecided if that was a good idea or not. I got through the class but i kept wondering if i was going to faint so i'm not sure how much my focus was on pushing myself in the class but i feel like i put out in my usual effort in the class and i could feel my heart beating out of my chest at times.
Today is melbourne cup day and i will have to avoid eating in the inter office feast which i am happy to do i will just have to explain the juice detox to all the non believers :(
Ok 3 minutes till my first juice of the day

Urban Remedy Detox

http://urbanremedy.com.au/

So i am doing a 3 day level 1 cleanse starting today.

Yes the thought of no food for 3 days does FREAK me out but i am also looking forward to it. I put alot of emphasis on food. Purchasing it, Preparing it, EATING it, cleaning up after it and all the emotional baggage that goes with it. So the chance to take a break from food is challenging and i am optimisitic about it.

Of course i will be happy if i can lose some weight but i understand that may not happen. I am alreading seeing benefits. after 3 hours. Mainly the clease suggests that you drink a glass of water and or herbal tea between each juice (taken every 2 hours ) and i am enjoying the challenge if i can add this into my everyday life of focusing on drinking water it will help me.
I am also looking to break my cravings for sugar which are pretty bad. After i finish the clease i am going to follow the meal plan from the body for women website http://www.bodyforwomen.com.au/page/body/healthfreebies . I was lucky enough to win $1000 worth of their products on facebook so i have all the key ingredients for the smoothies, protein balls and muffins. I have cooked a batch of muffins and they are in my freezer waiting for me on thursday.
I want my body to reflect the effort i put in i am awesome at health and fitness 90% of the time and it's the 10% of the time when i binge that i let myself down and ruin all the effort i out in. This morning walking around woolies i noticed other consumers shopping. Ceasar salads, 4 packs or red bulls, chips lollies chocolates and all these people looked slimmer than me. I want to get the rewards for the effort that i put in.

I'm back

I love reading everyone elses blogs but never write on my own, LOSER! So i will try and start blogging.
Hmmmmm what is happening with me?
I seem to be maintaining 90kg for what seems like a year now and i'm getting sick of it. I'm ready to crash down into the 80's and i am building the mind set to do that.

I am newly addicted to Soy Milk in my coffee and have bought some oat milk to try. I don't like the taste of dairy and am loving the taste of soy at the moment so i am going with it.

My training is good and i really need to find some more time in the schedule to do more training particularly weights. I really want to sculpt my body and have muscles!
Ok that's enough for today

DAY 71 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

STATS
This weeks weight 90.3kg
This weeks loss 1.3kg
Total loss in 10 weeks 11.9kg

don't really have time to update now work is crap everyone in a bad mood :( will try and update later

DAY 64 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Current weight 91.6kg
Loss this week 1kg

nothing majorly exciting to report this week. I'm battling a bit to keep it all together in my head. I still stumble with my thinking alot and i know i have a fair bit of work to do on my thinking regarding food. For example on friday night i was removing my acrylic nails i have had this done before professionally and they soak your nails in acetone for ages and then gently use another nail tip to lift the nails off so i figured i would save myself $20 and do it myself. Because it was taking longer than i wanted it to and i felt like i was going to fuck it up i stressed out i went to the cupboard and grabbed a hand full of licorice and and bag of changs gluten free fried noodles (that i had in the cupboard since november of last year) and scoffed them down. Why did i do this? I had had my dinner i wasnt really hungry i just wanted to relieve the stress because i was worried i would have to go to the gym the next day with half acrylic nails all jagged and crappy. Not the end of the world at all i could have gotten up early the next morning and finished soaking and removing them or i could have done exercise later in the day but no i wanted to have a MELT DOWN and turn to my old friend food. The worst part is i spent the best part of the weekend feeling guilty and doing extra exercise to try and reverse the effects. I worked too hard last week for my 1kg loss.

DAY 57 OF 84 OF MY 12 WEEK CHALLENGE

today's weight 92.6kg
loss this week = 1kg

I'm pretty happy with this result considering that in the past week i had a 3 course meal at Ucello restuarant and my fair share of 2 bottles of wine, my regular thai lunch and afogato and an indian banquet. I also trained my arse of and on saturday did 105 minutes of spin class and did the ban run in 47 minutes which was a record for me. I haven't had time to back track with the times but i will do a special post on running.

Feeling awesome and really this is what i want to be able to live my life without being on a diet as such just balancing things up

DAY 50 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Ok so i was a bit premature with my 93.5kg last thursday because today i am 93.6kg!!! 1kg down from last week but 100g grams up from thursday. That is what you get for jumping the gun. In any case it is all good i have lost 8.6kg in 7 weeks. That's still 1.2kg a week which is AWESOME.
I went out for dinner on sautrday night and had 1 glass of wine, 2 half glasses neither wine really impressed me. We went to zenobia which is the best lebanese resturant in sydney (possibly the world. I was pretty impressed with myself i only had 1 piece of lebo bread (1/4 of a whole wrap piece) and i loaded up on the tabouli and meat rather than the calorie dense stuff.
Anyway everything is good and on track over here i have already done my RPM class this morning and have clean food planned for the whole day
much love and stuff

DAY 46 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

So i just got excited about seeing this number on the scales this morning and wanted to share
GO TEAM AWESOME

DAY 43 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Ok so i am half way in this thing and on the whole doing really well.
I have gone from 102.2kg to 94.6kg in 6 weeks (7.6kg in total avg 1.2kg a week)
this week i lost 1.5kg and the best thing is i'm feeling awesome and really fit. I find that i can last a lot longer in fitness classes and training sesssion now and i have more power. YAY!!!
Tonight i am getting my old cheese to do my measurements and i can't find the ones i did 6 weeks ago on this blog hopefully what i have in my email is correct!

Anyway all is good in my pat of the world. Busy at work with work stuff which is a nice problem to have. Enjoying fitness and eating well. Feeling totally AWESOME!!!

Day 36 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Ok so today i only lost 300grams which isn't great but i'm not throwing in the towel. I have had a good week other than eating 300g of licorice on saturday night so i will keep at it i've had big losses previously and i have still lost 6.1kg in 5 weeks so i'm still averaging more than 1 kg loss a week

Day 29 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Rockin It!
Well i'm getting rewarded for all the effort that i am putting in. 1.4kg down this week. So today i way 96.4kg and that is without toilet time (i did 6.15am RPM so no time to work the bowels!)
So 1/3 of the way in and 5.8kg gone!
It make's me excited to look to the future
ok gotta do some work peace out

DAY 22 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

Today's weight 97.8kg that's 4.4kg i have lost since starting the challenge WOOT WOOT props to me.
Still like forever to go but i'm hanging in there even after the challenge is over my routine will have remain the same.
Nothing too exciting to report other than that i'm still kicking ass
so this week i lost 1.6kg pretty awesome had to double check the scales a few times. But hey i should expect these results i have stuck to 1660 calories each day and been exercising like a demon so i should get results i guess history has cautioned me against it.

DAY 15 of 84 of my 12 weeks challenge

Ok so challenge was the word this morning peeps. I struggled with the scales and it almost sent me spiralling out of control!!!!
When i woke up this morning i didnt perform on the toliet as i normally do and when i jumped on the scales i was 100mg exactly not what i wanted to see i had seen 99kg all week and felt shattered i wanted to give up, i thought who am i kidding i can't do this my body doesnt want to go under 100kg. I am wasting my time. Suddenly the body pump i had planned was underf threat my crazy negative talk was saying oh your fatigued feel that muscle pain take the day off. I almost did but something made me just go into auto pilot i didnt want to go but i just did. When i looked in the big mirrors though pump all i could focus on was how FAT i was and the huge overhang i had when i was doing tricep kick backs. Fark negative self talk was doing a job on me today. I got home (taking an annual leave day today as is the rest of my office) watched a crappy Reece Witherspoon movie my mum had rented over night, made a black cofee which kicked in post the movie and jumped on the scales which flashed back 99.4kg. So i am getting back to happy now i'll take my 700gm loss and work on that i can do to improve it next week. (Note - My rule is that i can take my lowest weight on weigh in day, i'm not doing any sneaking biggest loser tricks so i'm not really cheating just giving myself the best possible weigh in).
I'm thinking of giving up pole for a while. Basically i am not progressing and i have a sneaking suspicion that the extra 25kg i have on my body is NOT helping! I have used 3 of 8 of my classes and dont know whether i should just cut my losses or see the last 5 classes through? Argh dilemma
Of course i will not be giving up exercising i will replace pole with gym or outdoor running i just dont think that it is helping with my goal at the moment and my inability to progress is frustrating me.
OK so here is my summary so far today
Breakfast - 45g Barley Max cereal, 200g jalna bio dynamic yoghurt, 1 banana, 1 necatarine, 1 kiwi fruit, 1/2 cup skim milk.
Exercise - Body pump
morning tea - 4 pieces licorice, 4 brazil nuts, 1 serve (row) seaweed rice crackers
lunch - 100g tempeh and salad (going to make now)
dinner - 100g chicken breast and salad
snack - musashi slm protein shake
Pole ???? i will probably go

strogenHOFF

ha ha ha
that is what happens when you let your sister have access to you blog :)
i fear that strogenhoff has way too many calories for me so i didnt eat it and had a yummy falafel salad instead.
Ok so it's like day 13 today and thinks are going well i have stuck to the plan and i am being rewarded on the scales. I am hoping tomorrow that i am under 100kg i have been most times i have jumped on the scales this week so fingers crossed.
I keep doubting myself, i know that i have to do what i'm doing now forever and i see myself falling off the wagon it's crystal clear i can see myself drinking, eating junk food (or even just not clean food) i can just feel me tiring of being awesome and it scares me!
How do i keep myself on track permanently?

Dinner (planned)

Lunch

DAY 9 OF 84 OF MY 12 WEEK CHALLENGE

Good news first i snuck onto the scales this morning to find i was 99kg hello under 100 very happy with that, but i musnt get side tracked i have to focus on the big pic. However i was thinking about how funny it is that when you put on weight and faux try to lose it you dont know why you arent losing but when you actually put serious effort into it you are shocked when you lose weight! i think i will just file that under nut bag.
So today i had to drive to work because i needed to help a friend (yay me give me a gold star) so i am planning on leaving in time to drive to newtown to do the RPM and body pump double. I need to do at least 1 of them the second class will be a bonus. I'm feeling a bit lethargic today work is fairly boring, and when you are dieting there are no tasty treats or indulgences to look forward to so the day to day grind is a bit naff. Anyway only 5 mins of my lunch left so i better go check FB and update calorieking

DAY 8 of 84 of my 12 week challenge

weigh in this morning and a great result 100.1kg that's a loss of 1.2kg. I am feeling super fantastic very very very much in the zone.

Also for what seems like the first time ever (would have to read old blogs to remember otherwise). I can identify problem areas in my nutrition plan. When i had toast for breakfast i found my self wanting to eat much more often than when i had my muesli, yoghurt and fruit. So this week i am going to stick to my muesli, yoghurt and fruit but if i get bored i am going to have a egg with toast rather than a banana or peanut butter. Eggs are always filling.
On the weekend i ran the bay run 7km in 50 minutes that's 7 minutes a km. I ran for the first 30 minutes which i was happy with the last 20 were a walk run combo. It gives me something to work on.

DAY 3 OF 84 OF MY 12 WEEK CHALLENGE

Excellent and Awesome news our personal trainer decided last night that my sister should join me on my 12 week challenge. WOOT WOOT so now we are team and family.

I felt superb last night i don't know whether it's from training or just because i have decided i am now in the zone but baby i'm BACK.
Today is muesli, yoghurt and fruit for breakfast
homemade protein ball for morning tea and salad and tuna for lunch.
I will have a Carmans bar for arvo tea and tempeh and salad for tea or tacos (kidney beans NO MEAT)
I am going to leave work at 4.30pm and do RPM at newtown. WOOT no Kelly X today but i'm sure her replacement will rock out WOOT WOOT.

DAY 2 of 84 OF MY 12 WEEK CHALLENGE

Hey there hipsters well it is day 2 and i am feeling good. Went back to pole last night and did pretty well we didn't do any weight baring exercises which was good and bad. I struggle at these but i wanted to see if i had improved any. Guess i will have to wait for next week.

I am maintaining excellence with the diet at the moment and have given milk in my coffee the flick today. I am also not paying $3 per day for my caffeine fix woot that's a huge $720 a year. Dylan Rocks!!!!!

Today's Plan
Breakfast
black coffee
1 cup nu vit gluten free low fat muesli
100g Jalna Fat Free Bio Dynamic yoghurt
1/2 cup fruit salad (pear, nectarine, apple and blueberry)

GO TEAM AWESOME

12 week challenge starts today!

Ok so today is the start of my 12 week challenge. I weighed in at 102.2kg this morning. At first 101.4 but then it went to 102.2 DAMN!!! so from now until the 4th of April i will be trying my best to behave my way to success.
My Plan is to exercise 6-7 days per week
Clean up my eating basic plan
Breakfast Muesli, jalna bio dynamic yoghurt and fruit
Lunch either left overs and salad or a sandwich with high protein i.e. Tuna sandwich.
Dinner Some form of protein and salad.
I will still be having thai for lunch on friday but i am off the booze. Which will suck a bit as i have quite a few social engagements.
Most of all i am going to be kind to myself and not let a bad day ruin all my good work. I am hoping to lose 12kg but overall i just want to give myself a good boost in health and fitness. I will try to log in more often to keep you up to date on my progress. I will take some starting measurements tonight and post them.
