Well, milestone reached and passed! I can quite happily say that I am the lightest weight I have been for a very long time now (+2 years), and about halfway through to hitting my goal weight as well. :) Definitely a good start to the day, has made the thought of going to work in an hour a bit easier! ...
This is pretty much what's been dominating my spare time this week. Got a big deadline on Tuesday and this week has just been packed with all sorts of things in general! We went on a trip to London on Monday to go through museums (V&A, Saatchi Gallery and Tate Modern) and we were tasked to create a magazine based on it. Just...
Well ok maybe not. I just got bored tonight and started messing around with my hair, mainly with my birthday party in mind. Me and my friend decided that we want to have another theme party this year and she suggested rock chick - well that's more than fine by me! I've already sorted out the clothes, may need a few accessories for...
Seriously, 100g away from my benchmark?! Screw you fat, just screw you! :D Really happy with this though, I'm glad I've broken the loss - gain - loss - gain cycle (at least for now). This week has been very odd, only went to the gym once and haven't really done much exercise on top of that. Also been feeling really ill again,...
It's a known fact that we waste a lot of our resources on this planet. While one person might not make a huge impact on it all, it will definitely add up. If nobody thinks that they can make a change, where would we be today? With this in mind, I actually ordered myself a stainless steel water bottle. I think I was...
Another back in time style post, yay! The pictures in the post are just some random old ones I've kept in my folders, don't really know when they were taken (just to pinpoint how old I was in them). Ever since they started advertising the Teenage Dirtbags- album on TV, I've been getting flashbacks about my childhood / teenage years. It's like the...
13,484 steps & active burn 645 kcal. Seeing those numbers pop up on my UP were definitely a very welcome sight after a somewhat slacky week last week. No gym at all last week because of tight schedules and me being ill over the weekend, I definitely gave my body hell tonight! Upper body as usual on a Tuesday, lots of shoulder &...
I've been meaning to go shopping all week now, but with me working two days a week and being at uni four days, I just don't seem to find the time to do it. So pinched an hour of my Sunday to finally get it done. I do handle the cold weather pretty well, I mean most winters I'd just wear a top...
In a way I was hoping for a bigger number after last week. But what's done is done, it's still a loss and I'm happy about it. :) Gotta keep it positive. Will definitely push myself harder to reach that 73.2kg benchmark next week. And as it's progress week, here you go! Will try and get the progress pics up later today (or...
I've started being really religious about tracking everything I eat and drink again. I just realised that I simply wasn't eating enough, some days I wouldn't even hit the 1200 kcal mark with the food I was consuming. I thought that I really need to start tracking it again, just to make sure that I'm eating enough in comparison to the amount of...
Today has definitely been a productive one! Woke up really early despite thinking that I'd have a nice lie in this morning so I figured that I might as well get my exercise out of the way first thing in the morning. Our initial plan was to go to the gym before I had to go to work but unfortunately my other half...
I've wanted to lose weight since I was 13-14 years old. I had always been very concious of the fact that I wasn't thin, and a big part of the boys in my class sure did remind me about it on a regular basis. That kind of comments really hit you hard at that age and it did destroy me mentally. Anyways. I've...
I just can't seem to have two good weeks in a row and it's really starting to piss me off. I've started being very religious about calories again and have stuck to my budget. The only day I've gone above my budget was Thursday when we had a takeaway dinner (and I only went over by about 200 calories). Maybe I should start...
I had a conversation about being happy with my friend the other night. He's going through a lot of stuff in his life and despite all the amazing things happening to him lately, he still thinks his life is a bit meh. I told him that he should be happy about the things that are good in his life, and then this phrase...
This is going to be a long one. I've had a few days where I've had something happen I want to talk about but on it's own it's been a bit too lame so I've just delayed posting it. I've spent a lot of time watching Biggest Loser for the past week. Some of the seasons are up on Youtube so it's been...
