Re: well done ange!!!!
Hey Ange..haven't checked in a while..how's your summer so far? Does your schedule chance with the summer holidays with your daughter?
Keep up a positive attitude and it will get you through the tough days...
Re: well done ange!!!!
Hey Ange...sorry to hear about your little one. I am glad that you have cought it before it got real bad Good thing with children is that they tend to recover pretty fast...I bet she is running around like forest fairy by now
Kellie-Anne is pretty much back to herself now -- just one more follow up EKG and ultra sound of her heart, one more round of blood work and one more Doc. appointment and she should get the all clear! Her energy level and personality are back and she is no longer having pain anywhere -- she just gets really tired between 7 and 7:30 pm, but who doesn't .
So, now it's back to my health and the continued journey towards a healtheir lifestyle!! I started taking CLA again yesterday and I've gone two days without eating chips and cookie or having pop. Big step on the chips!! Even with all the bad eating and elevated stress levels, my weight stayed around 170, so I only gained back 10ish pounds -- I forget if I was 160 or 162 when Kellie-Anne got sick. Which isn't bad -- last year at this time my weight would stay around 178.
Add in the stress of the ex husband just being an unreasonable doofus and I'm surprised I didn't gain more back!!
Anyway, I'm back and I missed everyone -- I have to get caught up on journals and stuff but I am VERY happy to see Miss Shelagh is with us now!!!
I'm off to study my Real Estate course, then 30 mins. cardio, more studing and then off to work -- the contract position came thru, so that's more good news!!!
Re: well done ange!!!!
Kept to clean eating yesterday and I was so tired when I came home from work, I didn't even think to snack!!!! Straight to bed!!
I bought a 9 day cleansing program for Isagenix -- I'll start that next week -- I'll take this week to clean the sugar out of my system just by not eating it!!!
Finally got the appointment for Kellie-Anne's follow up for her heart -- it's at the end of August, so all of this should be settled by the time school strarts -- I know she is alright, but I still want to hear it from the Doc.s!!
Off to study and then do my Tami Lee tape of step and weight workout.
Re: well done ange!!!!
Another day of clean eating!! 2 in a row!! One meal, one workout, one day at a time! Didn't workout yesterday though -- between my headache and back ache, I didn't have the energy -- but I will today.
Re: well done ange!!!!
Another day of clean eating -- except for the grape popcicle last night at work -- it's so hot in there, it's brutal. I'm taking in at least 4 if not 5 litres of water a day. Probably sweating out 2 or 3! But, on the positve side, I'm down four pounds so far this week!!! That puts me at 165. 5 more to go to reach my next goal of 160 by my birthday -- which is in 4 weeks, so I'm pretty sure I can reach that!!!
I did get my workout in yesterday -- probably won't today, but I am doing housework, so I'll keep up the pace on that!!
you can
Hey Ange...crack that 160 girl...you can do it Glad to hear KA is doing so great!!! You have got to be strong for her and be example..so behave and stick to clean eating
Re: you can
Thanx LA and Aluschka! One of the things I was thinking about when Kellie-Anne was sick, was that I had better straighten up so I'm around for her many years down the road!
Another day of clean eating down, but I did have 1 popcicle again -- too hot in the plant!!! Burning up , but burning the cals. too!!
Three days to go until I start my cleanse -- Monday should be fun with no coffee!!!!!
Tired today, but I'll get my workout in shortly! Off to finich the housework and laundry!!
Hey Ange as I read your post I can see you go up and down with your determination to loose weight. Look I am very disciplined person but I still do not get my butt into full gear unless I have someone who I have to report too What I mean is that only time I ever got extremely lean and in awesome shape was when I trained for comps and hired PT. Now I am in comfort zone. I eat very healthy but have small nibbles here and there -healthy stuff like nuts or fruit etc...but still it is more then I should for where I want to be So I have made decision to enter comp-do I really want to step on stage? NOT AT ALL-I honestly do not like being on stage-I suck it in while posing and absolutely dispise doing routine.But it makes me train extra hard and diet strict,the thought of being half naked and exposing my wobbly bits makes me suck it in I make sure I tell all my close friends that I am doing the show so I can't just get outta it. I understand that money can be an issue,but if you put everyday a few bucks aside before you know it you will have some spare cash. I do not know how much Darrin charges,but I am sure you could work out something with him I hope you don't take this post as that I am being too harsh I just feel that you need someone who you have to report. I was in fitness industry and only time when people start getting serious is when they spend money for their diet advice. I used to help people for free and it did not work. The moment I started to charge the results rolled in
Re: Ever though getting PT?
Hey Aluschka!! You're not being too harsh and thanx for all your words. I see your point but on the other hand I should be able to loose a few pounds on my own and be accountable to myself and my daughter. It's the mind over matter stuff and not letting my emotions take over that I need to work on.
I didn't do my cleanse last week -- I let some things get to me and things went up in smoke! So, as I start over yet again, this week I'm eating clean and there is a Rib fest happening over the weekend -- that's my cheat meal on Sat. Then I start the cleanse on Monday morning with the goal being to weigh in between 160 - 165 on the morning of my 38th birthday on the 26th. I'm only 4 pds. away from 165, so that's achieveable -- as long as I stay focused!!
Well, off to cook some chicken and do a workout!
Ange
Workout's done and chicken cooked -- I always feel so much better after a workout but when I get depressed I forget that!! I was doing so well before Kellie-Anne got sick, but now that she is back to herself, it's time to refocus on me so I'm healthy and around for her for a long time!!
So, for this week it's cutting out chips and cookies (chips have always been a weakness, this cookie thing is relatively new), getting back on Udo's and multi-vits and working out a bit everyday. Next week its the start of the 9 day cleanse. Each week I'll add something/learn something new and I'll make it!!
Re: Ever though getting PT?
Cheers Ange, glad you are not upset with me..phew Hope you had a good week and cookie and chips did not call your name too often LOL
Re: Ever though getting PT?
I'd NEVER be mad at you Aluschka -- you are too much of a sweetie and an honest person! And no cookies. pop or french fires this week!
Weighed in at 165.5 this morning! yahoo!! Looks like my goal of being 160-165 is reachable for the 26th!!!
Ate very clean this week, with the exception of a bag of microwave popcorn last night, and it came back to haunt me this morning!!! I did have a few chips last night too.
Got in two workouts and I'm about to do one this morning.
So, now my Dad is in the hospital, but it looks like he will be alright -- he may have to have surgery, but we should know more by tonight after more tests are done today. He has diverticulitious (no idea if that's even close), but its his bowels and he is in some pain.
We just get Kellie-Anne back to health and now Dad -- I looked at Mom last night and told her I wasn't getting sick!! And neither is she!!
Bought Udos', multi-vit and calcium pills this week and CLA.
Re: Ever though getting PT?
Oh sweet..thanx Ange I was a tad worried that I might have come on a bit too strong...sometimes writen stuff sound different then when you say it Anyway it definitely looks very promising with your weight...just keep going and you will be on target on 26th no doubt about it
Sorry to hear about your dad Ange It just shows you how important healthy clean eating is,you can abuse your body only that long before it gives up on you I personally do not eat clean and healthy just to be trim..I do it for my health!!!!
Let us know what the doc say about what dietary changes he should make with his condition ok!!!
Good thing with children is that they tend to recover pretty fast...I bet she is running around like forest fairy by now
