12WBT LDC Challenge!!

2012-11-07T16:43:00.002+11:00

OK. I haven't blogged in a while, basically because I lost track and failed.
I still did the exercises, but wasn't training as hard as I should. I gave into temptations, I had that extra Nutella, extra piece of chocolate and so on…
Frankly, I was even too scared to go on the scales. I haven't been losing weight been gaining and plateauing, which is every disappointing.

I thought about it and I've decided on sign up again to the 12wbt for Round 4! I really do like the foods and the workouts and the motivation to be doing it with others. After much reflection, I know exactly where I fault. I eat extra. I give in, thinking its only a piece, its only once I'm doing it, however it all adds up!

Every thing that you put in your mouth is calories!

I think that motivation quote below is my light bulb moment. I will still take a picture of my after for Round 3 just to see if there is any changes, even though I myslef can't physically see any.

Devastated...

Wahhh! I gained 500g!!!!!! And its not even that time of the month..

I ate heaps yesterday..but that probably has nothing to do with it..

I don't know what to do..Should I continue or just give up..

How hard is it lose weight and how easy it is to put it back on..

I thought I worked pretty hard last week as well..

So hard!

I need to be inspired again to continue..

Week 8 - Mini Milestone Week

I wrote a long entry just now only for it to be deleted!

Ok basically I don't think I'll lose any weight, I ate pretty bad on Thursday - pieces of cakes, Friday - More Cakes, Saturday - Friend's baby shower! Need I say more.

I enjoyed Michelle's weekly video message - she spoke about changing our way of thinking and our habits.

She quoted Aristotle (one of my absolute) favourite quotes - 'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.'

I've always thought that. If you continue to do the same thing, expect the same result. Its only when we change our habits, change our way of thinking that we will see a change in our results..

I think my habits are definitely changing, I love the fresh food and vegetables. I opt for more veggies than rice. Today I absolutely loved the vegetarian taco corn thins! It was delicious!! I just need some help trying to convince the rest of the family to eat like me.

Michelle also spoke about weight loss and how it is a science - Eat less, exercise more. However, keeping it off is a psychology.

So true.

Today's lunch!

Week 7 Weigh in Wednesday!

2012-10-10T10:45:00.000+11:00

So weigh in today.

I was dreading it. However, I managed to lose 100g.

Which seems like nothing, but I'm relieved it was a loss rather than a gain or no loss.

I'm starting to fit into clothes nicely, rather than squeezing myself in like before. =)

That's a good thing I guess. Its just hard to stick to the meal plans. The exercises I'm pretty much on top of it. Just the meal plans and snacks.

I get so hungry.

I think I need to change my snacks, but it has to be snacks that keep me full or else I'll be starving.

Also, I've started to pick my favourite meals from this 12wbt program so when it finishes. I can make the dishes. I have a lot of breakfast favourites!

Not many lunches and more dinners.

I'll share it maybe in my next Post.

For now, I need to keep at it. Keep going and not to give up.

Scared of weigh in tomorrow!

Ok we have weigh in tomorrow and I'm a little scared.

I ate 7 Lindt balls yesterday!!! It was so bad but so good!!

I haven't been following the nutrition program on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I try but because we go out, we tend to go out and eat and to be quite honest I enjoy eating out.

I didn’t do the core exercise last week, didn’t get enough time.

I’m very scared about tomorrow’s weigh in.

I haven’t felt any different the past 2 weeks! In my head my reasoning is, as long as I keep doing the exercises and try my best to stick to the meal plan I should be ok?

I’m probably wrong.

We’ll see tomorrow. I just need to think, why did I do this?

I wanted to see a change in my weight and my body.

I wanted to lose that extra flab around my belly, arms, thighs.

I wanted to look good. I don't like looking big. When I look good, I feel good and when I feel good, I'm confident and happy.

Why?

Week 6. Half way.

So I've told a few close friends I'm on this challenge, and part of me is thinking that they probably think I'm crazy.

Thinking now I'm thinking maybe I am.

I'm feeling pretty down lately and I'm beginning to ask myself, why do I want to lose weight? Why do I really want to do this?

I'm very snappy and very moody and I'm taking it out on my kids.

Do I want to be skinny and snappy and moody? Am I that vain?

I just want to cry. I don't know what I want anymore.

I want to be a better mum not screaming at my kids constantly, giving them the love and attention they need.

Do I need to give up the 12wbt? Do I need to give up my cake decorating?

I'm very confused and not feeling the best at the moment.
