Day one down (95.5kg)

OK so I stuck to my no chocolate challenge yesterday - trust me, Erynn almost didnt make it through!!!!

Meh (95.9kg)

OK so I am really good with PLANNING to loose weight but the execution is a whole other story. Am pleased with self for doing 3 PT sessions this past week, but I know that I could have done at least another 2.

My biggest downfall is my diet - the amount of chocolate that I eat on a daily basis is enough to keep a small country in the black!!! So from today my chocolate intake needs to be nil. Yep I am going to do a 30 day NO CHOCOLATE CHALLENGE. This is going to be really hard as BJ has just made a batch of his home made choccie truffles but its the only way to ensure that I take this seriously. Also, I am a total carbs girl. Yep I love my potato's, pasta and rice and its time to minimise these as well. I want to loose the weight and need to start making the right decisions to get myself there.

Be back later today

A little of track ................ (94.8kg)

OK so the last couple of days have been a bit rough due to work but all is good and I am getting back into the swing of things.

The scales were kind this morning so I will not be cranky with them. Just need to stay down under the 95kg and keep working towards 90kg.

Still on track but the number on the scale SUX

OK so maybe I shouldnt be getting on the scales EVERY morning but its the only way to keep myself on track. This morning, instead of saying GET OF FATSO, it told me I was 95.5kg. I am hoping that this is because my muscle tone is starting to kick in. I refuse to believe that it can be anything else as I have been fairly good the past few days. I even did another boxing session with BJ last night and really put some oomph into the punches - even BJ commented about it.

OK time to get the day started..............................

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM will update at home later tonight. Need to get a few things of my F cup sized chest - bahahahahahahah!

mmmmmmmmmm (95.2)

OK so I didnt behave as well as I should have yesterday but today is a whole new day and I will be aware of what I am doing. My first step was to resist going to the shops on the way to work - I needed some porridge for breaky but new that if I went that I would spend money on food that I shouldnt be having at the moment. Settled for a couple of slices of burgen bread toast and vegemite instead - Kim = 1 point, bad food choice = 0.

Will be back later

Doing ok so far - have had a lovely grilled fish and salad sandwich on grain bread for lunch and feel really good. I am doing another boxing workout with BJ this afternoon.

OWIE OWIE OWIE (95.3kg)

OK so I am DEFINATELY feeling the ab muscles under the spare tyre. Yep Zumba is awesome and I LOVE IT. Its going to hurt for the next couple of times but its going to work for me. The thing is its not JUST my ab muscles but my obliques that have been worked also. I couldnt roll over in bed last night without biting my bottom lip first!!!! I am loving this feeling of knowing that I am working and hopefully toning it all up. After my boxing/kickboxing lesson on saturday and zumba yesterday today will be a nice walk on the treadmill to stretch out the leg muscles which are certainly feeling the burn. Zumba has my legs are feeling a tad sore.

Be back later

Bugger Damn and Blast. I have just eaten an entire pack of white chocolate covered strawberry bullets. FFS - that is the last of them and I wont be buying anymore. If you are totally serious about losing the weight stop doing this to yourself and get serious. Am off to decide how to combat this little shit fit - ZUMBA or treadmill??????

ITS ZUMBA BABY

Yep, I did Zumba again and LOVE IT. I did it for 30 mins and stuck within my Heart rate limit (130-140) and earnt 230 calories. This is something I can definately keep up - even Erynn was wiggling her but beside me.

Weight this morning was 95.3kg - its a starting weight and shows that I need to lose 20kg's.

I have had a great day. Washed the dogs and the car. Made a chicken and spinach lasagne for dinner and zumba'ed my but off.

Hope your all having a great weekend

A time to be honest with myself

Ok then after a shit nights sleep and a very grumpy start to the day, I took myself of to my bedroom to finish The Carrie Diaries and managed to inhale most of the large bag of chips that I dragged in there with me - WTF was I thinking!!!!!! Once again, I ate my emotions instead of just curling up and having a snooze which is what I really needed.

BJ is taking me for a boxing lesson this afternoon so I will be back after that with a report as to how I went and I will have some "start" photos.

OK have just spent 30 mins with BJ wear he had me boxing and kickboxing. I am sure that we all remember getting ourselves to the part in Biggest Loser where we need to take ourselves outside to PURGE what is in our stomach? Yep, I got to that point. I had to sit for a minute and regroup but I did get back up and finish the session. We had a good laugh at me boxing and BJ taking a swipe so that I had to do a squat. He connected with me only once which had us laughing like silly buggers.

Before the session I had asked BJ to take a couple of photos of me so that I have visual proof that I am officially a boomba - all 95kg of me. There we go. Its out there and yes I am embarassed but it means I have to do something about it.

I will upload these when I can make them (the photos) a little smaller so that blogger can handle them.

Hope your all having a great weekend

Get my shit together................

Ok so not only have I been lazy in keeping this blog up to date but my inability to get in and start this "lifestyle change" has really started show no only physically but mentally. I am not a nice person to be around and my self loathing is hitting an all time high. Plus the amount of clothes in my wardrobe that I cant fit into has rapidly overtaken what I can fit into.

So along with a couple of other top tarts, Briony and Chris (from Diet Coke Rocks) I am getting back into this. I have a treadmill, crosstrainer and punching bag (no not BJ) at home and need to start using them. BJ has taken PT lessons at work before and is more than happy to help me I just need to start.

I am also going to open this blog to the public hence the reason why there WONT be any half-naked "before" shots of me although I will take a couple of photos in my PT gear so you can see where I am starting from.

Hugs to all

Kim

I cant believe that.............

OK I cant believe that I have allowed myself to get to this point. I weighed in yesterday morning and 95kg flashed up on the screen of my uncooperative and nasty scales. My lack of time on the treadmill and my latest obsession with chocolate covered bullets is certainly not helping the cause at all. I am an emotional eater - no specific emotion triggers it as I am not biased. They all make me eat. So, with my 34th birthday on Tuesday I have made the decision to make myself a priority. Everyone else always comes first but not anymore. All I want is the 30 minutes a day to exercise and get down to a decent weight. I need to loose at least 20kgs.

I quit the job I was in as I was being asked to do things that I was not comfortable with. It involved a $20 millon dollar budget, a conflict of interest and serious reprecussions for anyone involved. I was not prepared to compromise my integrity and set the CEO up for an arse kicking for someone ele's benefit. I handed in my resignation and spent a good few hours with the CEO begging him not to sign off on the budget as there are too many inconsistensies that I cant explain and that the project manager is not forthcoming with. They were very upset to be loosing me and the CEO asked if there was an Executive Assistant available would I go back and I said yes. The best thing is that I am already ensconsed in another job wth the Bureau of Statistics and hope that this works out. There is no shortage of work in Canberra for a good EA so I had a heap of offers before making my decision.

The other great news is that we have bought a house. Yep we are loving canberra so much that we decided to start looking for a house to buy. That same week the one across the road went up for sale and we decided to go and have a looksee. Its 3 bedroom 2 bathroom upstairs with a 2 bedroom unit downstairs for any vistors. Its a home that we plan on staying in for quite a few years to come. It settles on March 31st and the only thing that needs to be done is new carpet. We have organised for this to be done the day after settlement. I will add some photos of the house in the coming weeks.

Hope your all well

Kim
