Mairiphinc's diary!

Quick recap, got to my highest weight in July last year which was 17.8, went to Weightwatchers and by November I was down to 15.8, but then I stopped attending meetings because I was in the final year of my MA at uni and things got intense, managed to maintain the weightloss until Xmas but then it all went to pot and from Jan to October I managed to go back up to 17.2 :cry:

Been doing Diet Chef now for 2 weeks and I'm already back to 16.7 I have two goals in sight, New Year with the in-laws in Ireland (they have never seen me at less than about 15 stones) and then a cruise with my partner's whole family in May/June 2012. I plan on being able to swim and enjoy myself like a normal person on this cruise so I would like to be at least at my 140lb/10 stones goal by then.

My final goal will be more like 9 which is in my right BMI but 10 would be a weight I haven't seen since I was about 19.

Today I feel positive but scared about the road ahead, I am not even worried about losing the weight as such but what the weight will have done to my body once it's gone. I am scared I'll be an empty sack I have to get on the exercise wagon but I don't wanna! :sigh:

Going to move WI to the 1st of the month and stop obsessively weighing myself 6x a day! Also waiting for my 30 day shred and 10 minute solutions Blast Off Bellyfat DVD to be delivered!

Naughty day today as we went to Toby Carvery, I recorded it all in MyFitnessPal though so I can try to offset it over the week. Realised today though that you can order a nice chicken salad so I think I'll do that instead I'd we go again.

My new 30 Day Shred DVD arrived today too :S money where my mouth is time!

Demotivated day today got to get back on it. I can do this.

Hi :wavey:
Sorry you are feeling down today, we all have these days (I'm having one today too!) and is is SO hard to keep up with the healthy eating and exercise when you feel like that but it'll pass quickly I hope!

Have you tried the 30 day shred yet? I here it's a pretty hardcore workout but well worth it! I might have to invest in it.

I cheated a bit by watching the DVD first! Ha. I'm thinking of starting tonight. Just watching it it doesn't look THAT hard, I know I'll be singing a different tune 2 minutes into actually doing it though!

How long can I make it without cracking and weighing myself?? Aaargh! Going to do my measurements tomorrow before starting the 30 day shred though.

OK so after yesterday's Chinese takeaway slip-up *ahem* today has been better! Stuck to plan, did some weights and half an hour on the treadmill, so unfit compared to last year when I was walking more regularly. Sweated buckets!

Feeling slightly more positive!

Toby carvery within cals today! Got treadmilling plenty.

If I keep going this week 100% it will be my first week entirely within my weekly average calories! The amount over has lessened each week but this week it's on track, the treadmilling had helped a lot as it's given me a buffer zone although I try not to use my exercise calories as a rule. Still useful though!

Bloody indian buffet!

Hi :wavey: How are things going with you? Hope you had a good weekend!
