Oh hey there!
Well, I haven’t posted in ages. What’s been up with me? Well, I’ve been through various phases of being super good, and exercising loads, and being terrible and not. It never got too terrible though, I just had ‘days off’. My weight is still about 134, though I swear I am very slowly getting slimmer. I have to admit to getting sucked in to bad eating habits a little...

My scale malfunctioned this morning and read 121 lbs. I’m pretty glad it was wrong, because if I look like I do now at 121 lbs, then that’s a little depressing… instead, I lost about half a pound! Yay!
I redid week one day 3 of C25K this morning, and it was lovely. Last week I kept having to stop, today I didn’t stop once, and my calves didn’t scream at me! I’m...
emiello asked: I get random stomach pains when I run too, no idea why, and I normally just run through them if I can. Also - running gets way easier - honest! I'm on W5D1 of the SparkPeople '5k your way walk/jog program' [http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/training-program.asp?p=4] and even though it's tough getting out the door, once I'm there it's awesome. I want to run a...
Argh, I just tried to do W2 D1 of C25K, but my stomach muscles are killing me. I’m fairly sure it’s cause I’m on my period, doesn’t help that I haven’t eaten since 1, and that was a salad. It’s so frustrating, but I know I should stop and do some stationary cycling or something instead later, because this is not the good kind of pain.
On a more cheerful note,...
Anonymous asked: Hello.I have a pretty personal question that I hope you don't mind answering.
Do you exercise when on your period?Because I get terrible cramps and I'm not able to! :/ Is there any other form of exercises I can do?
Thanks.

willbehealthyandthin-deactivate asked: You are so down to earth i love it :) was reading about your running, yay! i hate hate running too (because i have big boobs and im not the fittest) and the other day i managed to run for 5 minutes on the treadmill and i felt so proud so i know exactly how you feel, and it totally sucks about your friend's metabolisms i have a few friends like that and damn it's annoying, but atleast i...
Just did day 3 of C25K. Part of me can’t actually believe I’m doing this. It makes me so happy to be among those who have the strength and the will to push themselves and run. Compared to most other people, I still suck at running, but at least I’m trying!
Day 1 of C25K done.
How the heck did I pull that off? I never run. I suck at running.
It feels great to have accomplished this, and I feel strong and inspired!
Today my two slimmest friends noticed my weightloss and said I looked great. This is going so well. I can do this!
Just been for a run...
… around the garden. All you seasoned runners will be rolling your eyes at me, but I don’t run. I don’t. I was the one wheezing at the back in PE when we did laps, with a terrible stitch, pain in my tongue (does anyone else get that?) while all the others waited for me at the end and cheered me on, which actually annoyed me at the time. Leave me alone! I’m fat!
It felt...

Why
Blargh, I kind of screwed up a little. Again. There’s always an excuse to give in and eat what I want especially when it’s right there and being offered to me and I still managed to lose half an inch off my thighs but I am kind of annoyed that it’s coming up to one of my milestones that I will miss.
I’m just gonna go ahead and do a self indulgent exercise here;

Most Stupid Workout Injuries
So I was on my exercise bike, which is a pretty crappy old thing; its not one of those reclining things, just a normal lookin’ bike with straps that go round. There’s a timer and speedometer stuck on the frame at the front. Long story short, my right trouser leg got stuck on the dial as my leg headed down, then pulled my leg back into the dial. Now I have a huge lump on my leg.

Changed my stats
I bumped them all up by 2lbs because I realised I was taking off 2lbs with wii fit when I shouldn’t have. It’s the first time I’ve weighed myself in weeks of being not so good and I gained 1lb, which is bad, but not a catastrophe. Basically, I have 11lbs left to lose. I want to lose them all by May 6th. I can do that at a rate of about 1/1.5lbs per week. I would love to be 130 by...
Pears
Today I had a salad for lunch and oh boy it was a damn awesome salad. Later on in the day two of my best friends got chips (fries) and the one sitting next to me had so much melted cheese on hers and ketchup and she ate it all and I could smell it aaaargh… but then I got distracted because I found an extra grape in my lunchbox so that made me happy. But seriously, these two girls are skinny....

Why hello
Hey guys, sorry for being so busy recently. These past two weeks contained two huge coursework deadlines and a trip to the US, the latter being particularly harmful to my weightloss goal. We walked miles and miles each day, but then we went to museum food courts or diners etc for our meals and dang, there were hardly ever healthy options. I mean, I know you guys in the US pull it off, but we...
Oh hi
I know I haven’t been updating! I didn’t even manage to do a Saturday morning Weigh In because I have been SO busy (I’ve done some exercise every day though) and my life is only going to get busier in the next couple of weeks. I promise to update more often though. Positive note; a lady I saw on Saturday who I haven’t seen since November was like “wow! you’ve...
Wow
I honestly never thought that my favourite part of the 30 day shred workout would be the cardio. I mean really… cardio?! ME?! But damn, I was doing those butt kicks with a huge grin on my face, because it just felt great. And I ordered myself some awesome underwear so that felt great too. <3
Blech
Whoever or whatever has made me sneeze incessantly all evening, I do not approve of you. I’m really tired and snuffly, ugh, I’m gonna do pilates tonight instead of the shred because I can’t really breathe properly. I guess I was due to get ill having completely evaded a cold/flu over christmas! I ate well today though and discovered 61 calorie alpen bars, awww yeah, gonna get me...

Yay, exercise!
I’ve always hated exercise, especially in PE class at school, ‘cause I was always really bad at it and had zero endurance and humiliated myself in front of everyone. I get stitches a lot, and have even been diagnosed with exercise induced migraine! (I get a lot of headaches, I’m kinda like psyduck) But damn, today I did day 4 of the 30 day shred, and during the second cardio...
Strong Enough
Thanks so much to emiello, minus-me and andthisisforme for your support; I’m gonna take your advice and zig-zag my calories. I’ve just been really hormonal and volatile recently so I get upset at dumb things; I cheered myself up with a little retail therapy and got myself new boots, new trainers for running~ and a sports bra, woo! Even if the number on the scale doesn’t change,...
Saturday Morning Weigh In
Ok, this is bullshit. In the past four weeks, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. My net gain/loss in four weeks is ZERO. I have been working so hard (I pulled a muscle in my leg :<) doing the 30 day shred, doing pilates, exercise bike, one legged squats, etc. I have been eating well. I just don’t know what to do. When this plateau first started I thought it was temporary and I just had to keep going....
arg my butt
One-legged squats are so difficult! The constant ache reminds me that I’m working hard, though, so that’s nice. I also tried on this old skirt of my mum’s the other day, it was about size 6/8 (that’s 2/4 for americans I think) and she warned me not to try it on because it was tiny but I managed to get it on, zip and button it! I didn’t manage to breathe afterwards...
Saturday Morning Weigh In
I lost just over half a pound this week! Uh, great? I have not once gone over 1,400 calories a day. That’s it, I’m doing cardio every day this week. Stupid plateau.
Fighting Temptation
Today I walked into town with my friends and they all went out and bought donuts and pastries and then to McDonalds and bought fries. These girls have seriously enviable figures; smallest-size jeans, classic ‘thinpso’ legs - and yet they eat a lot of unhealthy food?! I guess it’s because we’re young, and because of their metabolisms etc. I had nothing; I had already eaten a...
