My Body for Life Challenge

Well, I know it’s been sooooo long since my last post! I fell off the wagon, got back on the wagon, fell off the wagon and now somewhere hanging off the wagon at the moment. Getting my BFL meals in okay but still sneaking in sugar and the odd chocolate here and there………. yeah I know I’m bad but I’ve lost 2 lbs since Sunday, but that was after my weight went up to 187! I have been exercising, though missed yesterday’s workout because of a severe migraine, I just had to go straight to bed after work. Haven’t worked out yet today………..not sure if I will be able to fit it in. Will just need to count walking the dog as exercise today.

Hopefully I can keep this thing going. And not throw in the towel completely. Help me with some words of wisdom!!

Finally, a “now” picture!

Well today I started my challenge but not on a really good foot. I had my breakfast of oats and protein shake, which started the day off well, and I had prepared my lunch of chicken and rice the night before and had my snacks ready to take to work. But I am a complete ditz and left my lunch lying in the house. So, I had no mid meal, and for lunch I had a chicken salad sub from Subway. I had no snack in the afternoon, developed a migraine so couldn’t face exercise, and had a slice of toast for dinner!

I am not going to let this stop me from achieving my goals, of which I will post here shortly, once I figure out how to use this blog properly. Here is a photo I have set as my desktop picture! It’s horrible! I couldn’t actually face posting the pics I took wearing a bikini, that was far too shocking!

I weighed in at 183.8lbs this morning

Here it is….

Tomorrow is almost here!

Monday I start my body for life! I am actually looking forward to it

This weekend has made me realise how out of shape, unfit and unhealthy I am. I went to a museum with my dad, and I was totally out of breath by the time we got there from the car park across the road! I mean, I’m only 31 years old for crying out loud! I shouldn’t be out of breath walking up a small hill or walking up a set of stairs. It’s really quite a worry, but I know that I can be as fit and healthy as I used to be. Tomorrow I will post my pics. It’s the one thing I’m dreading!

Gearing up.

Although my food choices the last day or two haven’t been ideal, I have been sticking to a healthy breakfast and trying to drink more water. I am ready to start my challenge on Monday! I am very excited at getting back to exercising and eating healthy again. I always feel so much better and have more energy when I’m eating the right foods! At least I’ll be getting extra exercise in now that I have a dog to walk several times a day!

I plan to go for my food shopping on Sunday, prepare my lunches for the week ahead as that has always been my problem. Going to work with no lunch leaves me heading for the nearest store for chocolate, chips and whatever else I feel like eating. So no more of that!

We have a gym in the house, but sadly we have not been using it and have decided to get rid of it. We will keep our exercise bike, weights and such, but we had a HUGE multi-gym/smith machine monstrosity that was taking up more room than we liked. I will be able to do my weights using the swiss ball as a bench, and we have a step that can be used too. Oh and I am also a member of a gym……haven’t been there in such a long time……..

Dreaded before pictures will be coming here soon…… you have been warned! :0

A new me is coming! Watch this space…..

A new me is coming soon! At least that’s the plan.

I am going to start my body for life journey on Monday 4th August 2008. I had planned to start two weeks ago, but gave in once again to my cravings. I feel as if I don’t do something soon, my weight will end up over 200lbs! I am currently 184lbs, and at only 5ft 2in, that is way too heavy! I look and feel like a wibble wobble

I am not happy like this, yet have lacked the strength to change and have kept on eating more and more. I used to weigh 123lbs 3 years ago, so to put on 60lbs in 3 years is horrific! I need help and guidance, even though I know how to do it. I need support and I am determined to do it this time.

I have started this blog because I have been inspired so much by Cat – her blog “Persistent Metamorphosis” is amazing, and if she doesn’t get you motivated by her success already, I don’t know what will!

I will post before pics soon
