I’m a loser, folks.
Yes I am.
1.2 kilos down, another 6.8 to go! I
have also lost 8cm off my bust, waist, hips and thighs.
Support
I’m also very glad to have two loser friends who share my quest:
1. PR, who’s goals are to be fitter by forty, losing 5 big ones, 20 pushups and fit back into her ‘magic pants’
2. Reven (my big bro) who wants to avoid ‘grabbing and snacking’ between meals
It’s
wonderful to have the online public support of other losers (used in the
appropriate sense of the word) to make this eat-less-move-move initiative both
fun and successful. Fun, because there
are others who can share their knowledge and experience; and successful, because
we will also provide a gentle accountability for each other just by doing this
together.
What I’ve
Done This Week
Exercised 6
out of 7 days for at least 45 minutes each time. Exercise has been walking, a session of
yogalates (yoga + pilates), and a 1.5 hour bikeride, during which I felt every bump, and pothole like it was a crater. Oh my poor butt.
I also
registered with CalorieKing.com.au (free) to get an idea of my suggested
calorie intake and portion control and the split of calories between fat, carbs
and protein. This has been most helpful.
Challenges
Overeating. Especially when we went out for tea Wednesday
night. I was hungry. I ordered beef & veg stirfry and then
tried not to eat all of the delicious noodles with beef & veg. I ate too many smarties with coffee at the
end. Still, it could’ve been worse, and
Thursday was another day. I have also had a few hunger headaches which I manage by eating something wise (most of the time).
Tips on
Snacking
Reven, you
wondered about ideas on avoiding ‘grabbing and snacking’. I blogged on that topic here but would
love further comments and suggestions of any lurking losers out there who would
like to contribute their ideas. Me? Make your snacks protein based – nuts, for
example.
It’s Not Too
Late
If you feel
like you’re missing out not joining in, then it’s never too late to start the eat-less-move-more
challenge. You can still jump in and let
us all know what your goal/s are and how you are going to do it. You too can be a loser!
