Weight - Weigh In 2

posted September 9th, 2007 by Sue

Hey everyone,

Well it has been a week since I last wrote to you and things have gotten a little easier, but it is still hard. I have come up with some good recipes which is good, so now we are having things that aren’t so bland and boring! Anyway, we went to our second weigh in this week, and I wasn’t sure if I had lost much, because I didn’t feel much like I had. Anyway, I ended up losing 1.2kg this week, which is really good for the second week they said. So I was happy with that! This week I am gonna do more exercise and see if I can push the loss up a bit more, but still a loss is a loss.

Anyway, that’s all I can be bothered writing, so i will talk to you all later.

 Bye, Sue.

Weight - Weigh In

posted September 2nd, 2007 by Sue

Hi Guys,

Well it happened, we went to our first weigh in yesterday and boy was I nervous!! I really didn’t know what to expect, but the good new is that I lost 3kg! I was amazed, because I haven’t been doing any exercise, so this was just a result of a change of diet! It is pretty awesome to think that just by eating really healthy, I can lose weight! This week I am gonna start exercising every day, just going for a walk really, but still it is worth it, hopefully I can lose 2kg this week by sticking to the diet and exercising! I mean I need to lose at leat 1.5kg every week to get to my goal of 100kg by January, because that is when we are going over east for my Dad’s 60th birthday, so it will be nice to be that size by then! If I can do that, then I will be able to wear all of my skinny clothes again! Especially my cargos! I love them to death! They have rips in the legs and paint all over them, but they are so comfy, so I will wear them until they fall off me!! :P I don’t know if any of you have a piece of clothing like that, but if you do then you will know what I mean!!

Anyway, I should get going, hope you all have a good week, will talk to you later!

Weight - 6th Installment

posted August 31st, 2007 by Sue

Hey everyone,

Well it is weigh in tomorrow and I am really excited about it! I feel really great and I think I have lost weight already! I am wearing a pair of pants today that are a bit too big now, this time last week I was wearing these pants aswell, but they fit fine, so that is what makes me think I have lost! I will fill you in tomorrow as to how much I have lost, so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

I have gotten used to eating this way and i look forward to having something healthy for my meals. It makes me feel so good, I have a lot of energy and I look forward to making something different everyday. I am finding still that I get very hungry between meals, I think it will take me a while to not feel like that, but I manage, just by having water and making sure that I keep full from drinking it, and if not then I occupy my mind so I don’t notice so much!

Anyway, tomorrow morning is the big test to see if all this has paid off. I will do a blog entry to let you all know, whether is is good or bad. So until then enjoy your life!

Sue.

Weight - 5th Installment

posted August 27th, 2007 by Sue

Hey Guys,

 Well yesterday was such a trial for me, it was so hard to get through the day!! I got grumpy at lunchtime, because I was so hungry and when I cooked my lunch I hated it!! So from then on I was grumpy all afternoon, until tea time, and then I finally had something nice to eat :)

So today has been heaps easier! The only thing I had trouble with was waking up at 7am. I am not a morning person so it is really hard for me, but then when I did get up I was fine. I had the yummiest smoothie for breakfast! I didn’t think I would like it, but I perservered and it paid off. The rest of the day was so much better, getting up early was good because it meant we ate lunch and dinner at normal times, rather than really late. I think I will push on and do that every day, maybe I should go for a walk after breakfast to pass the time.

Anyway, I am so glad it has gotten easier today, tomorrow is the 3 day hump, so if I can get through that then I will be fine. I just have to learn some new recipes to spice things up a bit. There is nothing worse than bland food! I will have to buy some more herbs and spices so I can vary the taste a bit. And next week I will have to buy some different vegies so we can have something a bit different, I am a bit sick of the vegies we have this week, but it is all good :) I just don’t know what else I can get that we will like and that we can do something different with. I mean, one of my breakfast meals is eggs and vegies, so what vegies can i have for breakfast, I am a little sick of tomatoes, but all the others I have are like main meal sorts. I don’t have an omlette pan, so i can’t do that, and when I made scrambled eggs yesterday I hated it (it had the vegies in it), so I won’t be doing that again!! We are almost our of yoghurt so I can have a smoothie, and I can only have cheese 3 times a week and I have already had it twice, so I have to think of something new.

Anyway, I think you have heard enough of me going on about it all, I will write again later in the week!

Cathcya!

Weight - 4th Installment

posted August 26th, 2007 by Sue

Hey everyone!

Well I have officially began on my weight loss journey! We got out programs on Friday and started eating properly yesterday! I am starving hungry right now, but I know it will get easier as time goes on!

The food is really nice, lots of fresh vegies and fruit and very lean meat! It tastes delicious, but I have to learn to be a bit creative with it all otherwise I am gonna get bored really fast! I have been given some recipies, but I don’t have a lot of the herbs and stuff, but I will give some of the others a go instead. I am gonna make an omlette for lunch which will be nice, so I am really looking forward to lunch.

The hardest part of this new lifestyle is trying to break all the bad habbits I have already! I mean, I like to have a big cup of sweet milky tea, and I can’t have that anymore, so I have to try and occupy myself in between meals, because you can’t even have a snack! I mean, you don’t really need to snack, but when you are in the habbit of itm it is really hard to break. I know that this week is going to be really hard, that I am gonna be feeling hungry and I will probably be a bit grumpy because of it, but it is so worth it!

Anyway, I am gonna go, gotta get a jumper it is quite cold today, and I am gonna watch a movie to pass the time until lunch!!

Anyway, wish me luck, i will fill you in later on!

Jogging

posted August 18th, 2007 by Sue

Hey everyone,

I have decided that I want to start jogging when I have lost a little bit of weight. I am not quite sure if there is any particular way to go about this, but if any of you have some suggestions, I would more than welcome them!

I kind of thought that if I work up to it, it should be easier than starting straight out. So my plan is to go for a walk everyday, and as I feel my fitness level increasing, I will start to add jogging in. I will jog for as long as I can and then I will walk and recover a bit, then I will jog again, that way I figure I won’t keel over and have a heart attack! LOL. I hope that by doing this, I will slowly be able to increase the amount I jog, and eventually be able to jog the whole time. What do you all think? Do you think this is the right approach?

Anyway, I decided that I want to start jogging, because I like the sensation of it and the way it makes me feel. Even though at the moment I can’t jog for more than 10 seconds, it is still exhilarating, so I figure it will be worth it!

Well time to go now,

Seeya,

Sue.

Weight - 3rd Installment

posted August 18th, 2007 by Sue

Okay, so the last time I wrote to you all, I had just joined Sureslim. Well yes I am still a part of it, but it is only a week later so I still don’t have my program. However, on Tuesday, Matt and I went to get our blood tests done. We were told to fast, but to make sure we drank water before went, because we might be a bit dehydrated. Anyway, Matt went first and all was good. When it was my turn, I wasn’t really nervous, but I have to admit that I really don’t like blood tests! anyway, she had a look at my veins and chose my left arm to take blood from. She put the needle in which hurt, then took a big vial of blood and then my vein collapsed and she couldn’t take anymore blood from there. So she moved on to my right arm, and chose a vein which was in the most weird spot! It was on the top of my arm where your skin is quite tough, and anyway, she put the needle in which hurt even more than the first time and it wouldn’t let her take any blood! I don’t think she was doing it right! Anyway, she stayed on the same arm, but decided to use a butterfly needle, which id attached to a tube, so the vial clicks into the end of that rather than straight into the needle. Anyway, she put the needle in which hurt even more than before! She finally got the other 2 vials filled though which I was so glad of!!! She is the worst person I have ever had take blood from me!! I was left with 2 really bad bruises too!!!

Anyway, that was Tuesday and it is now Friday, so hopefully we will get our programs sometime next week! I am really looking forward to starting it! Going and seeing my family in January and being about 110kg will be awesome, if I get to that by then, which i hope I will, and then next year, my friend Chloe is getting married and I am one of her bridesmaids. I was not looking forward to this originally, well I mean, of course I am looking forward to her getting married and being one of her bridesmaids, but I mean wearing a dress of her choice. I mean, I thought I was still going to be really big by then, but now that I know I will be slimmer, I am looking forward to wearing a dress, because I know that I will look heaps better than I would have if I stayed this way.

Anyway, I have rambled for long enough, so take care,

Seeya, Sue.

Weight - 2nd Installment

posted August 12th, 2007 by Sue

Hey Guys,

 Well I know it has been a while since I wrote my last entry about my weight. I said I was going to try and tackle my weight issue by being healthy and exercising. I have found it so very hard to stick to this, without someone there to push me to do it, I found that I quickly fell back into my old habbits. it is not an easy thing to do, even though I had my husband there with me, we still both struggled.

Since then, I have become so fed up with the way I am that I have joined a weightloss program called Sure Slim. Now I know this program works, because I actually know someone who is on it, and he has lost a shit load of weight on it and kept it off while eating normal food! They do a blood test to make sure everything is okay and whether there is anything special in your diet you may need. They even ask your likes and dislikes and whether you have any medical conditions and also what medication you are on, so they take everything into account really that may affect your ability to lose weight.

 So I joined, and so did my husband, and we are going to do it together. We are going to get our blood tests done on Monday morning and then when the results come back about 10 days after that we will get our eating plan and will begin our huge journey! I found out that I am 80kgs overweight which makes me a huge 141.8kgs! I was kind of surprised in a good way when I found out though, because I honestly thought I was over 150kg! But still the good surprise went away quickly when it dawned on me that I was actually 80kgs overweight.

So for all you out there I am going to keep a fairly regular blog about this. Every week, or at least I will try to do it every week, I will put up my weight and how much I lost. This way you will all be able to see my transformation. Every now and then I will put up a new picture of myself for you all to see. Probably when people start to comment about how I look is when I will do this, because then I will know it is noticeable.

 Anyway, wish me luck! This time next week I will hopefully be on my eating plan and moving forward on my weight loss journey.

What About Brian

posted August 6th, 2007 by Sue

Hey Guys,

I don’t know if any of you out there watch the TV show ‘What About Brian’, but my hubby and I do and we love it. Anyway we found out tonight that it has been axed!! How crap is that! What was the point of the television network putting it on if they are only gonna go and axe it after one season!! I am angry at them!!! Plus it was left at a point where you want to know more!! How frustrating!! My hubby just told me that they only made two seasons and what they showed on chanel 7 was actually both of those!! Gee Wiz!! Oh well I guess I will have to get over it! if anyone agrees with me out there then feel free to have a bitch too!!!
