130lb - this figure makes me sick, physically sick!! I used to be 25lb lighter and now I am creeping back to where I started, all because I lost sight of what is important. I am going to be a bride in the next 2 years and I refuse to buy any gown that is larger than a size AUS 6!
My first change was to add this cool app to my Windows phone (coz I'm against iPhones coz every man and their dog has one) and it is a GPS tracker to see how far me and Anthony run, our average speed, maximum pace, lap counter (when we go to the track) and all other cool stuff. I used it walking with mum tonight and walked 6km in about 50mins which was good, mum is trying to loose weight, although she is only wanting to loose like 10-15lb and I'm looking to loose at least 20lb. I have a run tomorrow aiming for 10km as its my first day back running after the allergy season.
I have really enjoyed swimming lately while I haven't been able to go outside and run until I vomit. Its low impact but can be very intense, and a full body workout. My swim program usually involves swimming several laps at the pool normally and then a few more using the kickboard so my legs get a kick ass workout to help me run. I think I might buy myself for xmas a nice swimsuit to do laps in as I have been doing them in a bikini - not a good look when I dive into the pool n my bikini bottoms end up around my knees. I am looking forward to a run though, its a great opportunity for me and Anthony to have a chat and catch up on things as we are so crazy with work at the moment I feel that I never really get 'us time' :(
My next change is my diet, I have cut down a lot of my junk food intake (some low calorie treats sit in my desk draw for emergencies) but I am also cutting out most the meat of my diet and cutting back on dairy products and carbs. Giving up meat without anyone noticing will be interesting as I am well known for loving my lamb, but I am fighting hard to cut it back, but not as much as bread, I loooooove my bread, coming from a European family bread and pasta are a big part of my family dinners so to give it up will be a tough challenge but I'm trying to remain strong - except Thursday, all the family is home for lasange and I plan on kicking my own arse for it, but I am definitley having a piece of it!
I really need to get back into fasting, I havent done it in a while and I think getting back into the habbit of it at this time of year is going to be tough but I think I'm going to start with one day a week (I have chosen Wednesdays) I'm going to fast, and build up until I am fasting at least 3 days a week. This Wednesday should be easy if I go for a run and wear myself out, but next wednesday night is Kris Kringle with the girls and that involves drinks and nibbles so this could be interesting... But I am strong and I will be skinny
I think the last thing I need to change is my mind set... The hardest of them all, I think my serious conversation with Anthony the other night about us getting married really helped, it gives me something to aim for. And I would have thought that Christmas would help inspire me to loose the wieght quickly so the photos look good, but I really don't feel as motivated as I should. I might have to find some thinspo to put up around me so that I can get myself hyped up to get skinny! I think back on how skinny I looked at my 21st back in June (112lb) and that helps, but also a photo of my modelling buddy Courtney helps, she is TINY!! About 6cm taller than me and weighs almost 20lb less!! Those photos alone cold keep me going for months, and the fact that she is also getting married (before me I'm certain) makes me wanna loose the weight even more.
So I'm off to find some thinspo, some healthy lunch receipes and if anyone has some fasting tips for a not so little miss that needs to get back into the swing of it please let me know, I'm def needing it!!
