Mistwood for a kitten!! for good eating!!
Memphis Belle hope you could spoil yourself a little last night after being so busy. I think that's my biggest problem, I used to be busy with work all day - and there's no food. No I'm at home with the kids, and always eating - just to do something. (and finishing their scraps!)

Wednesday Actual:
Exercise managed 20min on exercycle (doing the program that somebody mentioned on the "erxercycle for weightloss" thread)
Eating: ok, I guess, but could be better.
Metime:toes looking better now!

Thursday Actual:
Exercise: trying for another 20min on exercycle - didn't realise how unfit I really am!!
Eating: 18 points (need to get this point thing under control - at the moment I'm looking at MB, and think I can eat that!)
Metime: Looking after a friends two boys today, so don't think there's going to be any of that!

Think I really need to concentrate on getting fit again!! No wonder I'm so tired and feel rundown all the time - I'm just a lazy slob!!!

OMG! Peterpan I have been feeling so much like a fat lazy slob lately! I am so pleased I am not the only one! I need to work on the exercise too.... I so often feel like things are just too much like hard work - even things I know I will enjoy.

Misstwood - I love kittens! That is some serious me time in my books!

So I had another madly busy day today. No lunch break again so no exercise so I am feeling REALLY tired!

Me time trying on clothes for a fitting for this fashion show - was good fun, someone else had picked out clothes for me to wear based on my hair colour and size - some of it I would never have picked off the peg, most of it looked quite good, one dress made me laugh, I look like a stepford wife

for the great eating on Wednesday Memphis Belle! Hope your day is better today!
Mistwood, to being a stepford wife! But I don't think any of them is overweight!

Thursday actual:
Eating kids chicken nuggets for lunch, spag bol for dinner, loads of snacks in between (but very proud that I only took one smallish helping, and it was delicious!!)
Exercise 15 minutes exercycle - man I need to get that to at least 20 minutes, but soooooo unfit!
Metime: lovely time with DH!

Friday plan
Eating: healthy food choices, small serving sizes, loads of water!
Exercise: aiming for 20 minutes on exercycle! (and need to get fun exercise for my lovehandles!)
Metime: going to get stuck in the garden!
Challenges: meeting friend in town for coffee, and will be tempted by all the yummy things (and probably going to Mcdonalds so the kids can play)

What's the plan for the weekend - do we let it go again, or do we stick with it - so hard over weekends I've found!

My weight loss is going ****! Seems completely plateaued, not how I'm going to magically drop 5kgs in 2 weeks, is it?! PP that's part of my problem - dressed I look quite good now, the 5kgs I've got to lose would help me look better naked. So the dress is a size 12, not sure if you count a 12 as fat? You've got higher standards than me if you do. So, knowing that I already look *nearly* great, its hard to motivate myself to lose the last tiny bit. And now that I am biting the bullet and trying to get it shifted after a few weeks of apathy, there is no response from my scales (or my thighs!)

Just been pretty good at the morning tea - had scones but no butter, no cream, just jam. Felt like I was depriving myself anyway

I certainly feel like I look better with clothes on than naked. Sad really!

Misstwood you have lost 25.2 kg! That is how much BOTh of my children weigh togetehr! Don't lose sight of the fact you have lost an INCREDIBLE amount of weight! 12 is defintely not fat. Oooh to be a 12 again....

Uh oh! I succumbed and went and got some caramel slice. Naughty, naughty, naughty!

MB - not quite, you were looking at my BMI, have lost just under 25kgs, but yes, it is a big difference already. I like working out lost weight in kids too, its more than my 6 year old, or my 2 year old and 11 month old put together!

Oh man, Mistwood that is incredible, I think the last 5 is the hardest to drop!! 12 is not fat at all, most people look freakin hot when they wear a 12!!

And yes, I look quite ok with clothes (specially winter clothes) on but not so good without it. Most people give me the "you don't need to loose weight you're tiny" comment. but I know how much I'm suppose to weigh - and its 10kilos less that the scales say. I've always been tiny and never had to loose weight before, so finding this really hard!!! And 10kilo's is a lot on my body - its all on the middle and my back? Thank you little man, you made mommy fat!!

MB - I LOVE caramelslice!

Its just got to happen!! I think for me fitness comes first!

Friday actual

Food 20 points
Me time coffee with friends in the morning
Challenges: coffee morning - picked a 'good' option of 2 scones with just jam to stay within my points. Also made chocolate cake for DS today, made a very small one so it would be eaten by the kids, and didn't have any of it.

Saturday plan:
Exercise goal: 3km walk (wish this wind would go away!!)
Food goal: 20 points
Me time: exercise in the daylight with no kids!

ooops, pub lunch, there goes my 20 pts!

Mmm pub lunch! Yummy! I think I may have done ok today but I am not sure so I assume I've been bad. Lol!

Blimen husband asked for me to make a chocolate cake so I know things are going to go downhill once I ice it. Poop!

Exercise: big
Eating: big
Metime: was nice in the garden until the kids joined me, which was sort of cool them helping me plant stuff but then they started fighting over who's soil it is

Darn weekends!!!

Will try and be better tomorrow, but no plans and no goals (maybe do some exercise!)

We're all in the same boat. Lol!
