Monday new food diary

Ok so after reading the time magazine article http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html
It has reminding me of what i already knew that nutrition is 90% the key to success in weight loss.
I still love exercise and will still be doing pole, PT and my own work outs. What i need to remember is that i can't do a 1 hour work out and then go home and reward myself for my efforts with 2 -3 times the calories i would have burned.

So in an effort to behave my way to success i am posting my food diary here and so will my sister who also wants to lose the paunch!!!!

I am going to do it honestly so there could be some terrifying moments!!!

So far a good start i ate oats for bfast rather than my usual cafe toast (i am also hoping to save a few $$$$ too)

BREAKFAST
1 cup oats
4 tablespoons flavoured gippsland yoghurt ( i am done with diet yoghurt would rather have the real thing)
1 apple
1 large strawberry (hey i said i was on a budget!!!!)
1 large skim flat white

LUNCH (that's right worked through morning tea)
2 slices of you'll love coles multi grain bread
3 slices don lunch ham
1 slice Bega fat free plastic cheese
and a smear of mustard pickles

and 1 row of sakatas
and 1 orange (note to self they are too juicey to eat at desk)
1 can diet coke

SNACK
carrot sticks and 1 slice plastic cheese

DINNER
chicken breast, veggies and brown rice

DESSERT
You'll love coles hot chocolate



Also i am drinking my way through a 1.5r lt of water today (have to keep peeing :( )

OK tonight is pole dancing will report in later with rest of days food

urrgh the harsh realities of resuming project weight loss

you have to face the scales
this morning i was 97.5kg
:(

oh well onwards and downwards

Shazzam!

Hello, I am your friendly guest blogger-sister.

I just want to say SHAZZAM to our sister training, which ROCKS. I am gonna smash you!! (in a nice way).

mental

So i am getting back on track
this week i did 4 exercise sessions
monday pole dancing
tuesday RPM
thursday personal training
sunday RPM
but i couldn't help but notice how mental i am. When i happily sloth away avoiding the gym and consuming thousands of calories i don't really notice (or care) about my body and my fat i guess i just accept it. But the moment i put a small amount of effort into exercise i become uber critical and wonder why i haven't lost weight or why my tummy looks bigger than the day before. Luckily i realise this is mental i just find it interesting the way my brain works .
Good news is i feel more committed to exercising and i am now back training with my old personal trainer Kellie and my sister (she took over my spot when i quit) on thursdays and i have pole on mondays. They are 2 dates that i have to keep because people are counting on me to turn up and i also want to do independant exercise so i am not totally unconditioned for pole and PT

test

Jeez i am bad at this

Ok so after starting my new exciting blog i went AWOL
Here is a quick summary of where i am at
weight 96.3kg
exercise about 3 times a week (great intensity but not frequently enough)
food (terrible, i'm not putting any though into anything i eat and have no control) I'm just eating whatever when ever and while it's all reasonably healthy we all know that calories creep up on you when you aren't watching portion sizes and when you aren't restriciting snacking.
The good thing is i know this and i know what i have to do to remedy it i just need TO DO IT.
