Great Day

I have had a great day :-) It was time to measure myself again .. I do this once a mth ( except for the one time I cheated lol)and I lost 20 cms this month taking my total to 63.5 cms . I was over the moon.
Then we all went shopping , got a few bargains for the girls and came home for lunch.

I t is a glorious day here today actually the days have been like this for a while , still cold of a morning and night though but anyway after lunch we went for a walk and came across a Garage Sale so went and had a sticky . I was looking at this stepper exerciser , the ones with the handles anyway I asked the lady how much and she said oh you can have it for a $1. I was amazed a dollar but I didnt have a dollar on me lol but alls good she kept it for me so we went home got the car and went and paid and picked up my stepper.
So now I have a stepper to do some different exercises on lol , just got to look up the net and see what benefits these provide but hey for a dollar you cant go wrong. Am cooking a baked dinner tonight for a change and making my own seasoning which doesnt go in the chook I prefer to cook it on a seperate tray so its all nice and crunchy and serve it on the side.
cya for now

Feeling good

What does feeling good mean?
For me its a feeling of inner peace,happiness, satisafaction. I am feeling really comfortable with my weight loss atm. I think for the first time in a very long time I am just going with the flow and not being so damn foccussed every minute of everyday. I know one has to be focussed but not to the extent of beating yourself up if you dont stick to your exercise plans or you eat something that you feel you shouldnt have.It has virtually taken me 13 weeks to reach to the point of "inner peace" and there is a calmness about me now and a feeling that I wont turn back now.
I had a big day yesterday started off by exercising on my bike for 30 mins then went to miss 7's sports carnival, even went in the 3 legged race which was absolutely great. Miss 7 came 2nd in her heat, and fourth in the final woooooo hoooooooo!!!!!.
I was feeling rather proud of the both of us and I am sure my smile was seen for miles when a mum I hadnt seen for weeks says omg youve lost some weight Em :-). Doesnt it make you feel that little bit more when ppl start to comment.
I then did my total gym for 20 mins plus 15 mins of my arm weights and some ab crunches(ouch lol).

Must sign off with this today. What about my "Wests Tigers" WoooooooooHoooooooo!!!!!
We are in 6th position now which is great, thank god its Friday bring on the footyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Have a great weekend :-)

Week 13-13.2 kgs gone

I am very happy, and proud of myself. This week I lost 1.5 kg which brings my total now to 13.2 kg woooooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!.
I have made a few changes these past few days . Firstly I am not going to continue with the home program as I feel that I can use the money elsewhere and basically continue with the forums which are wonderful.
Next change is I am eating later then I did before as I was finding that I was getting hungry around 9 30 ish which wasnt good so no more eating at 5 30 its now 6 30-7 ish and so far this is much better.
My exercising has changed as well I now do my bike for 30 mins twice a day morning and afternoon and I walk every second day for a minumum of 30 mins and every other day I am doing weights, total gym and some other exercises which takes me about 45 mins to an hour.
I will do this for 5 weeks and then look at it again.
I am feeling really good and its like I have a new lease on this weight loss journey and I am so enjoying exercising and am amazed at just how much fitter I am now. I am now a member of "Living in the suburbs" and am really excited about that and hoping to meet lots of ppl and make new friends.
Stay positive
