Another 21-day challenge (day 4)

Well... day 1 was not good. Day 2 I did pretty well. And apart from a McFlurry on Day 3 - it also went super well! But today I folded whole heatedly, again :-) But as with all things in my life: my intentions stay THE BEST; for tomorrow... I have between 9 and 7 kilograms to loose STILL!!! I'm wondering if I'll ever get there... I've basically decided in the back of my head, that if I haven't lost the weight by December; I'm gonna give up all together. So, I HAVE to get strong and do this thing!! Plotting out the plan: Day 5: Tuesday 15 Oct Glass of water with Enchinoforce drops Toast & peanut butter for breakfast Running 11km's Nuts & apple snack Fish / steak & salad for lunch Nuts & naartjie for afternoon snack Run 4km's Chicken & vedge / salad for dinner Let's just get through the day, and then I'll plot some more :-)

Post pregnancy weightloss (saga)

Ish! It's been almost 3 months since I started dieting again, and I'm still on the same place on the scale (I hope!) It's a bit of a roller coaster...I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning, and I'm expecting to see it at around 63kg's :-( Last weekend I had a jolly old time eating like crazy and it continued into this week. I had a goal of weighing 53kilos by the end of September...at this rate I won't make it. Plus I wanted to run 100min's on a half marathon by then, and the exercise is also lacking - it will take a miracle for me to make it by then!! In 3 weeks time our son will be going for swimming lessons (where he gets introduced to water); which means mamma has to fit into swim suit by then. If I look half decent, I'll be over the moon!! The good news here, is that in 3 weeks one can really make a difference if I give it my ALL!!!! Deep breath: so here goes!! Starting this very minute: I went for a 50min work-out at the gym (20min on the fitness flyer-just a warm up; 20min's vigorous running on the treadmill; and 10min cool down on the fitness flyer again). I'm busy with my 7th glass of water for the day. (Will do 8.) Dinner will be very little with NO alcohol. Let's see if I can do this!!

Weight loss challenge (after pregnancy)... So, I started a 3 week challenge (2 and a half weeks ago). I've got about 10kg's to shake since my pregnancy. More like 7kg's, but anycase... I took a before pic and will take one every 3rd Friday. The 1st week was terrible and I didn't at all focus on healthy food choices or excercising. Week 2 went 110% better!! I weighed 64.7kg's 2 weeks ago. And then after last week I weighed 61.7kg. I had on 30% body fat and last week was on 29%. This week went really well on the excercise front. Am bushed from spinning and running real hard! I ate horendously today though. Breakfast was oats, 1 teaspoon of peanutbutter and sweetner. I only had about 4 glasses of water during the day. I snacked on 2 provitas, an apple AND a rusk!!!! Lunch was a white bread roll AND a portion of pasta!!!! Dinner was 2 helpings of potatoe salad, a tjop, a piece of wors and a small chicken soesatie. Preceeded by 2 cocktail rolls and a glass of red wine!!!! Eeeeck!! (It gets worse...) After dinner I had coffee with 6 blocks of chocolate!!! :-) This morning I ran 6.4km's at a snails pace (6:18min/km). Will do better on ALL fronts tomorrow (got love the Tomorrow's!!)
