Nails bitten to death

My poor nails! Since I have been dieting, I have substituted my snacking habit with nail biting.

I have always bitten my nails but not as badly as lately, they have taken quite a hit.

I must have a need to have something in my mouth as a distraction?
Like those plastic stick things smokers use when they want to quit but miss the feel of a cigarette?

Oh well, I don't mind having shorter nails for a while if it that is what it takes to get my weight correct.

Maybe I need a hobby?

I ate too much

The BBQ was great, but I think I ate too much. I think the weeklies cover it, but my digestive system is not liking it, oh dear!

At least I will do a lot of activity at work today.

I suppose I better be as good as gold for the rest of the week.

Week 9 Weigh In

14st 8.5lbs.

2.5lbs off ! woohoo!

Apparently all that running around at work helped with something then...

Almost forgot to celebrate that it is the 1st stone off ! double woohoo!

So worn out!

I feel so tired! We are really busy at work at the moment, I have done an extra hour for the last 2 days and prob will do so rest of week also. (will definately be claiming the overtime, so at least extra good).
I have been running around all day, my feet are aching. Please take pity on me, hehe.
I dont feel like doing exercise, but I think I have done enough all day.
Need to rest...

Week 7 Weigh in

14st 11lbs

lost 1.5lbs, only 0.5lbs more and holiday gain will be gone. Very happy with that, what I put on over 2 weeks, I will lose over 2 weeks.

Now for a treat day! double iced doughnut and fish foot spa.

To Alison

For some reason I am not able to reply to your comment or comment on my own post at the moment.
But just wanted to say dont worry, I loved doing the exercise and would have done more if my mum wasnt being so ratty, just think I need a few goes for my muscles to get used to it.

Plan A failed, so started Plan B

After day 1 of the 30 day shred, I was very achy up to today, I still have a tiny bit of an acche. I decided to have the monday off because I was so achy, plus I was shattered after my 1st day back at work after 2 weeks off.
Then, yesterday my mum complained that I would be disrupting her tv shows, apparently she is no longer interested in exercising with me like she claimed to be before I started.
So today, I found the same problem, and decided in the end to go on my exercise bike which is in a different room, so I would at least get some exercise.
Plan A: follow 30 day shred everyday- failed
Plan B: get at least 3 nights of exercise a week, in whatever form. With 30 day shred at least 1 of those days.- Started.

Day 1 of 30 Day Shred

I brought the "30 Day Shred" exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels
(Biggest loser personal trainer- for australia and usa).

It is an intense 20 minute workout, with 3 levels to chose between.

I just performed my first day of 20 minutes and I am knackered. Think I will be in pain tomorrow, and probably the rest of the rest aswell, hope it is worth it, I have heard some good reviews about using it.

If you are curious, here's a link to it on amazon;

Week 8 Weigh in

14 st 12lbs.

It was a gain of 1.5lbs, but it was because I went on holiday and didnt track, and was totally worth it.
Pretty chuffed that it wasnt more to honest.

Back on track today!
