Okay ladies, so last week it was chicken lasagne that I totally blew my diet on..this week it is Chicken Parma! Went out for dinner with the hubby last night and all I had eaten all day was a measly sandwhich (work was too busy) so I was STARVING…we go out..I eat a small cheese pizza for entree then this massive chicken parma with fries and salad for dinner! My goodness!! I feel so sick today from all the cheese (cheese is totally my downfall!). So I’m back on the wagon again…hoping for 2lbs for weigh day on Sat Does anyone else struggle with eating out? Everything looks soo good on the menu and salad just looks so boring!! haha

Eats for the day today: B: few sips of protein shake, high fibre low fat bran muffin. S: apple and yoghurt L: wholegrain bread, chicken breast, lettuce, cucmber, tomato light mayo, S: orange, D: bean casserole with small serve rice.

Exercise today: now that was another story…does anyone else have those really bad workout days where it feels like your legs are carrying double the weight you are??! my heart rate was up within 2 mins…it was crazy…so didn’t last too long with the cardio (think it was all that cheese gurgling around in my stomach!! lol).  30 mins of cardio: 10 mins eliptical, 10 mins running on 10km/hr, 10 mins stair master.  25 mins weights: tricep pull down 3 sets 15, chest press 3 x 15, leg press 3×15, pull ups 1 x 10, dips 1 x 10, bicep curls 3 x 15.  Tonight: Walk the dog.

Have a good one ladies and thanks for reading

Hi ladies,

So have been going pretty well on this whole diet thing until the dreaded lasagna last night…I had two big pieces..ugh and then ice cream for dessert..full fat ice cream with cookies…OMG…I felt so guilty and SICK today!! I have definitely learned my lesson.  So it is my official weigh in for tomorrow (Saturday) and I am feeling a bit scared of what the scales will say. I know I haven’t put in my all this week and my exercise just hasn’t happened (only worked out twice)..I have no excuse other than I have been too lazy to get up in the cold mornings.  My eats for today are:

Fri 17th July

B: tub of yoghurt, S: small bunch grapes and a k-time twist bar, L: wholegrain bread, chicken, spinach leaves, cucumber, light mayo, S: apple, D: veg burger, tabouleh salad, rice.

Thurs 16th July:

B: slice toast with natural peanut butter, S: apple, L: vegetable soup, S: grapes and k time twist bar, D: 2 massive pieces of chicken lasagna, salad. Des: two big scoops of ice cream (full fat), cookies (about 6 mini size). 
UGH…nasty woman I am…hahaha

So I’m still going REALLY well on my diet….although had my first slip up last night on the way home from watching my husband play sport…I was soooooooo hungry and it was around 11:30pm so we stopped at burger king and I had a grilled chicken burger with reg fries and a reg diet coke (at least that was diet!!!)…I felt guilty afterwards…but didn’t beat myself up…I do have to admit that as soon as I tasted that take out…I was having visions of stopping again for donuts and chocolate and cake!! I almost did pull into a 7-11 for some donuts…but i stopped myself by driving in the far lane so i couldn’t turn and pull over!! hahaha…silly silly…anyway…these are my eats for yesterday and today so far:

Hello there So this is my first entry in my online blog. I have blogged before on diet websites, however they have always been diet specific and I just needed a general area to post…didn’t know this website existed until now!

So a bit about me…well I have always struggled with my weight.  During high school I was always a bit bigger (not huge though) and I was at my biggest in my final year of school.  Then when I was around 3rd year university and broke up with my high school sweetheart I went on “The Ultimate Weight Solution” by Dr. Phil.  Well this diet worked wonders for me…I eventually got down to 135lbs and was loving life and happy…I kept the weight off for a number of years too.  I was even looking at a small career in sports/fitness modelling (but was wanting to lose a few more pounds) to accompany my profession. More recently my weight has balooned! I went from 135lbs to 142lbs (when I was married in sept last year) to now a staggering 172.2lbs!! To be honest I don’t know what got into me…all I can put it down to is the massive life changes…new marriage, new house, new job…all of those things…I guess my routine (fitness especially) was ruined by my new fast paced life…and I just haven’t adapted too well.  Now I have had time to settle into my new life,I feel it is the perfect time to get back on the bandwagon and this time for good!!

When I weighed myself this past week and realised just HOW much weight I had put on, I was absolutely hoffified…I mean I had seen the numbers creeping up…but not since high school have I been in the 170s!! In fact, not only was I horrified..but I was ANGRY!! I have never felt that way before.  I was so angry with myself for letting this happen…so I threw on my clothes, grabbed my keys and rushed out to m local book store and GNC…I bought myself some vitamins and shakers as well as the Dr. Phil book (threw away  my old copy, time to start afresh) and sat there and read the whole book in an entire day.  It was so refreshing and now I feel I am back in the head space I need to be at

Blogging will help keep my motivated, along with this plan.  Here I will share with you my feelings, emotions..along with my daily eats and exercise routine.  Thanks for reading and listening I have estimated that by Christmas this year I will be back where I want to be (125 lbs) and have promised myself that when this happens I will get a folio together for my sports modeling
