A new frame of mind
Sorry it’s been awhile. I cant get onto this site at work anymore in fear of being caught after many close encounter, and when I get home after 8 hours of looking at a computer screen all day its kind of the last thing I feel like doing but I am here today and catching up on lost time!
Well my shin splints have finally gone, and they will still have plenty of time to recover because now I have somehow done some form of damage to my foot L So to heal it, I can’t do much exercise involved heavy impact on my feet i.e. body attack and body step (which I love!) I can do swimming, walking and body pump which I do enjoy, but I don’t feel like I have worked out as hard as when I do those two cardio classes!
So at the moment my exercise routine insists of A LOT of walking and Body pump 3 times a week. I also hit up the X-trainer for a bit of extra calorie burning before and after Pump, ride my bike and occasionally go to the pool for laps…… all which aren’t to strenuous on my foot! Though on a plus side, my gym is getting RPM (spin class) which is getting me too excited for my own good! I’ll probably suck but at least it’s a class that is less strenuous on my injuries but still gives me a sweaty, gasp-worthy workout ( as weird as that sounds I feel that the more I sweat and loose my breath, the better and hard my workout is on myself!!) I’m going to put my name down while I’m at pump tonight…
I have also been feeling a bit more toned from all the pump classes. My arms look more tones, my thigh muscles are more defined and I feel slimmer. Weight wise, am still the same, however I put that down to less cardio workouts and more weight training.
In saying all this, I have recently given myself some much needed reality checks on the choices I have chose to put upon my body and how it is affecting me lifestyle. Here is a bit of a run of my mental state over the past few weeks:
While I consistently put pressure on myself to reach my goals, my mind decides otherwise to do the complete opposite and think of food every hour, on the hour. I will sit here and think “fooooooood” yet I have just eaten a healthy serve of muesli for breakfast and feel very, very full. I have never thought of anything as much as I have eating! A bad day for me involves me searching the web at work for healthy recopies to make at home, writing up new eating and exercise plans to calculate my intake of food and how much I will burn off, walking out the back of my office so see if there is anything I can eat if desperate (I never do eat it but I just like to make sure in case), watching the clock slowly counting down till the next time I have allowed myself to touch my peach and grapes, stuff them down my throat then watch the clock till lunch.... my mind screams at me, “so what if your full, you know you want that snack you are meant to eat in 2 hours time..... right now!” I hate it! It’s obsessive, addictive, controlling and making my days miserable!
So heres my new deal:
I have made the rest of February a month of body healing and strength building. While I cannot seem to shift past my current weight, sitting around 146-148 pounds (66-67kgs), I have increased my intake to about 1200 cals a day, eating foods to sustain me through the day and eliminate my sugar & chocolate cravings. And while I cannot exercise to the extreme that I crave due to injury, I am focusing on dropping my body fat percentage, increasing muscle definition and overall body toning.
Instead of weighing myself repeatedly each day, I am now dropping back to the end of the month. My new body assessment will be in measurements. At the end of this month I will measure my bust, waist, hips, bum, arm and upper and lower thigh and calculate my body fat percentage. Any weight loss is an added bonus but I will be content with maintaining my current weight.
If my foot injury has healed by the end of the month I will slowly bring high impact cardio into my routine again and if this month’s efforts are successful, I will continue with this plan also.
I don’t want to further aggravate my foot and get more and more frustrated with myself, so this will be the best option for the sake of my body and quick healing. If there is still pain, I may have to actually see someone, but money is tight due to my 6 week Europe holiday rapidly approaching so I’ll play doctor for awhile haha.
So that is now my focus.... bettering my body and my mind! My health is my priority at this time!
Also my puppy is going to the vet tomorrow for a leg operation! Poor little thing is gonna give me the saddest eyes when I drop him off tomorrow but he gets to spend a month inside after so he cant really complain... but hope it all goes well! Will miss his cheeky grin for a night!
Well time to go to pump and sign up for RPM!
Bring on the burn!

2010 Resolutions/Goals
Welcome year 2010!
I will make this the year! The year I have the control and self motivation to reach my goal! I want it bad... real bad..!
Well if yo havent noticed already, I have added my weight goals on the right side there and i think it is a pretty safe way to go about it. Yes its a slow process but slow and steady is how I plan to do it. Wanting perfection right here right now always backfires in my face so have made up a challenge, complete with 12 short term goals eachg month to reach my ultimate and most desired weight!
Man i'd be happy with just reaching 120lb, so even hitting that goal i will be content and happy!
As far as other goals and resolutions go:
2010 Resolutions/Goals
- I am hoping to travel around europe mid this year which i am very much looking forward too, have booked one part but am still working on my passport *sigh*
- Get in contact with friends who i have drifted from
- Become a more active runner and swimmer
- Run the 12km City to Surf in August (Local community walking/running event)
- Start ballroom dancing
- Start my painting again
- Start new sewing projects
- Consider a possible job change after holiday
- Appreciate each day
Yeah they arent very interesting but im excited for this new year :D
So to end this post I am going to sent my goals for this week:
Goals of the week:
DO NOT buy any Lollies && Chocolate!
Have a deficit of minimum 200 per day
Appreciate!
I hope everyone had a fantastic new years and i wish you luck in all your goals for 2010

pre 2010 goals - starting resolutions early

I failed my Xmas challenge, I feel the biggest i have ever been, let myself go to the festive season and i am now paying for it this summer. On top of guzzling food by the handfuls, i cant even exersice to the levels i crave due to shin splints and neck and back problems. I want them to heal, yet i cannot stop myself from going to the gym. I must do body step and body attack to make amends to my face stuffing yet i leave feeling the pain just that little bit more each time.
I will then come home to a fridge full of chocolates i have received at gifts and eat without a thought.
The reality hit my upon standing on the scales for the first time in 2 months to see a figure i had hoped belonged in the past! How i loathed the very body i was in, how i curseld my lack of control. It was my fault i have been so care free, so oblivious to my abuse on myself....
That was the past. I now stand in the present, and look forward to the future with new hope for the year 2010.
Christmas has been and gone, the new year is approaching.. and i am overflowing with new courage and a game plan. I have the big picture in mind but i need to break it down to a realistic level each week. Here is this weeks goals.
Mini goals till 2010:
For the next 3 days i am -
- sticking with 500 cals a day
- i will burn 900 cals min for 2 of those days
(Tuesday - Walking & BodyStep + Wednesday - Walking and BodyAttack) - On day 3 i will stick to 500 cals foodwise and do alot of dancing to burn off the excess amount of alcohol i plan on drinking new years eve!
As for the rest of the week, one day will be recover and travel as group of us is planning to drive south to climb Bluff knoll next weekend, a 6km return, 3 hour hike up a fantstic mountain which will hopefull burn a fair bit of booze new years and tone the legs abit. I am very excited about this, have done it before but i was in recovery from glandular fever, plus had a head cold and had to stop every 50m, plus it was raining and hailing so hopefully this time i am much fitter, healthier and the sun is shining bright witha clean view overlooking the stirling ranges once we reach the top!!!
I am also going to try to update more often. I dont use the net much at home any more just because i stare at the computer all day at work, its kind of the last thing i want to do when i get home. But i need to keep record to make sure i keep track of my eatings, doings and can encourage myself to post a positive improvement each time. I can and will do this. Taking it easy and steady, one week at a time.
They are my first tests to prove to myself I can keep a promise to myself, stick to the challenges i set and complete my goals.
I hope to map out my new years resolutions throughout the week.
Hurry up and open again gym!!!

Been awhile...
i want.....



Tuesday, November 3, 2009
So I have been keeping myself busy setting small goals and planning big adventures. I am still on track to my Xmas weight, which I didn’t quite expect as have been very slack in the restricting department. Instead of restricting I have been halving what I would usually eat all off and so far it is working well. I am still indulging in cakes and chocolate but carefully which has resulted in very few binge days (with the exception of Sunday but we wont talk about that :S)
So 125lb has been my main goal for quite some time, but I know for a fact that I wont get there anytime soon so I am giving myself 8 months to get there when it is time for my EUROTRIP haha so pumped. Wow counting that, 8 months is a long time! But the reality of it is that I can slowly maintain my weight loss and do it at a healthy pace.
Awkward moment just before, one of my work mates asked if I have lost weight? I have but not much.. replied with a “no?” then they all started staying how I always go walking etc…. bailed out of there pretty quick.
I don’t like being talked about, especially
when its about my weight and exercise.

I am getting a tattoo on my ribs soon, a small design i made myself so when i get it done i will post some pics up. Cannot wait for it! Not only will it be super sexy but it is also motivation to never get any larger then when i get this tat!
No tattoo looks nice all stretched or hidden between rolls!
Intake today
Breakfast:
Half a Banana (50g) and half of a Multigrain Muffin – 123cals
Lunch:
Lettuce, Spinach Leaves, Carrot, Capsicum, 2 Multigran Rice Thins – 64 Cals
Snack:
Scone with tiny bit of Jam & Cream – 250 Cals
& a small Apple – 45 Cals
Exercise:
Walking for an hour 6kph – 300 Cals
Body Pump 1hr – 600 Cals
Body Attack 1hr – 750 Cals
Not sure what is for dinner…..

its a harsh realitly...
i feel like it wat i deserve... just reading a single comment on facebook, after a fantastic day my world come crashing down ... from single comment.
Why is it so hard to be happy when the one you love is happy with somene else!
Why do i even bother when its pointless to try and pursue someone who just doesnt want u?!?!
why is the quest for happiness and perfection so hard....
Why cant it just be there for you, ready for you, laid out for you?
why does lonliness call over happiness?
why does control overpower desire?
I want it all now, i hate waiting for the impossible.! I am trying to make it happen but reality sits in the way!
move aside! its my time to shine! I want to be my dream!!!
Thin
Beautiful
Irresistable
your world
your everything
Someones everything
just... something to someone.
wat is happiness?
