So far.... so....... Good???

Hey guys

Well, today have been so so so so good. Trying I guess to make up for yesterday! Although I didn't eat a heap of crap I ate too much! I felt so full all day.

So as of today to make myself accountable i'm going to post what I've eaten each week. Whether I do this daily or every few days is something different altogether!

Looking forward to the 11 days break. Although I haven't been here the entire year, I have gone straight from one to another except for the 3 week gap in June. So looking forward to this....

Going to the Dr's tonight to see what meds i need to come off. Since I am on so many for my migraines i may need to stop taking them while we are Trying! Oh yeah,,,, we are trying now! LOL

Very excited. I've decided I'm going to write a letter to my soon to be baby (before pregnancy) and write a letter during, a letter the day their born and then a letter each birthday from then on, and I'm going to keep it in a special folder, so when they are older they can keep these letters in the folder (of course i will copy them so if they are lil shits like me and don't keep their room tidy I haven't lost them forever! )

I am also so much more motivated than ever before not to eat crap, I got up at 5:50am this morning and got on the x-trainer, although I only did 20 mins (had no energy) i sweated so that's something. And I have every intention to get home and jump on the bike before/after dinner (depending on how hungry I am) for an hour.
It's so strange...

Ok today's food?

Breakfast :

30g O'T's - Oat and Honey = 1.5 P (points)

It's all good. Makes me feel like I'm being really good

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease xx

WI Results!

Hey All,

Well had WI (Weigh In) I bloody gained 1.1kg.. How'd that happen?

Considering I worked so hard, I thought I deserved to at least lose a little weight, but that's ok I'm going to hold my head high and persevere through the next week and hopefully something great will come of it!

We got the new folders for the Satisfaction Plan today. Looking forward to starting it. It's pretty much Points, and the best part of Core! You count points still but focus more on Filling foods, such as Fruit, Veg, breads (grains), lean meat, lean poultry, fish etc etc!

Having a lazy weekend, although must clean house tomorrow since Landlord is coming on Monday, so best be good lil renter!

Anyway only 3 more days of work til xmas! WOO HOO.

Then we have 11 days off together and go back to work o0n the 11th Jan!

Love, Peace and chicken Grease!

Hellllooo

Hellooo Guys!

Well I'm having a good week. I've worked my BUTT off this week with Food and exercise. I've gone to Curves 3 times this week. Loving it! BUT, my weight has gone UP!!!! I think I've lost Body FAT but put on Body MASS.

The leader at Curves said this happens since the circuit training is alot of resistance. So i'm starting to do MORE cardio to make the ratio more in Cardio's favour! This way my burning will overtake my building!

S had his results back for his lil test, he's all good. A little bit less of % than the avg but his swimmers are healthy!!! WOO HOO..

So we've said June will be our REAL trying time, but between now and then we are doing every now and then tries, so if it happens it happens! It's exciting actually. I'm more motivated than ever to lose this weight and I've worked out if I don't fall pregnant until June I could lose between 20 -30 kg! So I will be working my butt off between now and then and even if I do fall pregnant I will be still losing weight!

So many people have said "Don't worry about your weight, just work hard now and during and you'll be fine" and I've come to the conclusion that even if I lose all my weight and get to goal before I try I may still have troubles, so what's the difference? As long as I eat healthy and keep exercising to what I'm allowed to do I don't see a problem. All the tests over the last few months have shown I'm rather healthy! Besides the high blood pressure but i can blame dad for that! And there is a tablet i can go on for that when I get pregnant! so I'm not too worried. Obviously it's not my ideal situation, I'd love to be skinny and pregnant, but life doesn't always turn out the way you think. All this recent drama has taught me not to wait any longer for ANYTHING! So now, Im losing my weight NOW. I'm going to try NOW. I'm going to do it all NOW.

No we won't be able to buy our house as early as we wanted to, but hey money can be earnt later (espically with Shaun's career) and a house can be bought then. But who knows I may not get a chance LATER on to do this. So 09 is MY year. I know i said it last year and the year before that. But this feel different. I feel more mature, i feel that i can take on anything! I have patted myself on the back so many times this week, I have turned down some of my weakness foods for healthy ones. I've had hardly any Coke this week, I've had fruit every day! And i've loved pumping up the heart and bringing on the sweat! So bring on new years.

I'm also not missing any meetings over xmas. I'm changing to Thursday meetings but not til after NYE since they are closed from now on. So Sat for the rest of the year it will be then Thursdays. I'm not missing my meetings like some people are, I'm going to go in and lose weight over this SIlly Season! Bring it on I say!

Looking forward to picking the bikes, Thanks to Mum and Dad for chipping in, it makes all the difference! Just waiting to sign the papers for our GE cards to forever gone and then we can afford to pick them up!

Work is going well. Enjoying the new position. It is alot like Property Management in the sense there is so much to do! It's never ending.

11 weeks to go! woohoo... who kows' I could be coming home with another family member waiting to be born???? ooooh Dad hope you're ready!

LOL

Anyway, must be off.

Curves

Hey Guys,

Well I found out on Thursday that all my tests came back clear which means I don't have PCOS!! WOO HOO>.... Happy Dance!!! ....... So we guess my menstral cycle just went funny for a while. Which apparently can happen.

Now this month I'm back to normal! Thankgod!

I've actually noticed that over the last month although I've done well with eating and exercising my weight loss has stopped and I've gained and I honestly think it was due to stress, since finding out on Thurs that everything is normal I've found my weight has started to drop! Which just further confirms my thoughts.

I joined Curves on Wednesday night and had my first session on Friday arvo. It was good. It def wont be my MAIN source of exercise but it will be good to mix it up and tone my body!

For those of you who don't know how it works, you have a resistance station and a rest mat. The rest mat is used to keep moving and do areobic type moves. Eg. 1 mat could have star jumps, another could have running on the spot etc. The resistance stations range from, chest press, leg press, squats etc. None of these use actual weights, it's all hydraulic machines. This way anyone can use it and not strain themselves, the harder and faster you go the more resistance there is.

So it's a 30 min workout. 30 seconds on each station, it goes resistance, rest, resistance, rest etc etc.
after 1.8 rounds, you do your stretches which makes up the 30 mins.

It was good but like i said i wouldn't rely on it for my main workout!

I joined curves to help me stay on track with exercising. This way i will be more likely to come home on other days and do something. So most nights if not each weeknight (bar weigh in night) i will go to Curves and do that and then other days do normal weights, and cardio.

I've found it easier to get up early to exercise since I've done it a few times this last week. So I think I can get up at 6am from now on to do it.

I can also transfer to a Melb centre when we come home in wait for it.... 12 weeks (yesterday) woo hoo. This means (once dates are confirmed from DHA) that we will be home Fri 6th March!!!!!!!! WOO HOO...

Anyway, we are all good. We moved the weight system into the garage, and put the cardio equipment in the back part of the lounge to make more room to workout. Looks good actually!

Ok must be off. Talk soon....

Bikes

Hey Guys
Well yesterday we went and bought our bikes.. Well we put them on lay-by for a few weeks.
I got a Hybrid Road bike. Raleigh sphere 2.0. It's awesome... and pretty!!!!

Shaun got a Mountain bike, Avanti Atomic.

I am so excited now about getting them. I can't wait... It's going to be great to get out there. Shaun and i have been looking for something we can do together without the dogs. We won't be taking them along since it may be dangerous! So we'll do this together.

Well I have my Glucose test tomorrow aswel as my ultrasound and CT Scan.

So day off for me! Although its not really a day off is it?

talk soon

Kaz

Moving ON!

Hey Guys

SO I had my follow up appt at the Docs and it looks like I do have PCOS. SO on monday I'm taking the day off to have some Glucose tests done and my CT and ultrasound done. This will confirm it. The Dr has said she thinks it is a variant of PCOS and this is to see how much of a variant it is!

So Shaun and I have decided that we will wait to speak to the Gyno again and then in Mar/Apr we will start trying. Money we can pay off later, Home we can own later, weight I can shift later. Baby? May not happen later!

So it gives me 4 months to move as much as i can. My aim? I've got 12 weeks. I'd love to lose more than that but its not realistic or healthy. So I'm aiming at 10kg! BUT in saying that if i lose 4.5kg per calendar month I will be 20 kg down by then! So that's my aim 4.5 a month. That way some weeks may be good, others average and some really bad!

I know there are risks with being pregnant whilst obese but at this stage i dont care! We have got a consolidation loan to pay off our credit cards and cancel them, and cut them up so we can pay off one thing and save at the same time! That has all been signed for. We are having all our documents verified but otherwised approved!

My job here is secure until we leave so we worked out if we put half my pay away each week we should have a couple of thousand by the time we come home. PLUS we aren't cancelling one credit card, it will be used only in an emergency!

One more thing we want to buy this year, To have a baby and to keep PCOS under control i need to lose weight, to lose weight i need to exercise and getting a bike will do that! So yes we are looking at buying a bike each to ride in summer and lose some extra weight!

There are bikes out there that can hold and sustain my weight so we are looking at them!

Anywho best keep going. Trying to work off what I did over my bday.. had a blast!
But now I've got this diet for my glucose test. MAX carbs... which means heavy food! which menas wieght gain! so i've planned it out for the next 4 days to hopefully stay under points!

Talk soon
