I confused myself

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I have done exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do and at last nights weigh in — I used both sets of scales again…and now, well colour me confused.
I have no idea if I lost weight, gained weight or stayed the same.
Having two different sets of scales on the go is not a [...]

Don’t hate my new scales quite so much

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Well, now I am confused. When I used them on Wednesday there was a 3 pound discrepancy — the old scales said 11.6, the new ones said 11.9.
I have just had my Sunday night weigh in and decided to weigh on both to see the difference, and because I still have not decided if the [...]

I hate you, new scales.

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Ha.
The very thing I didn’t want to happen when I got my new scales — they put 3 pounds on to my weight. I have stood with the new and old ones side by side and weighed myself seconds apart. Old scales say 11.6, new scales say 11.9
*Bangs head on desk*
Now I don’t know what [...]

What I wouldn’t give..

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

..to relocate to somewhere warm and sunny right now. I am having one of those weeks where everything is just going wrong. My parents are jetting off to Greece tomorrow which is just making me so jealous…I wish I were going with them, and could just stay there forever.
La Costa Property Solutions are a well [...]

Weight Training

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I have only very recently started weight training, despite doing this weight loss malarkey for a year and a half now. I never really saw the point of it before, why try gain muscle when I could be burning calories? But I did some reading up about it and now I understand, here are some [...]

AntiPoleez!

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

So I heard about this new thing today called antipoleez, what it does is eliminate odours from ones breath — including alcohol and cigarettes. Something that can really get rid of those awful smells is great, unlike gum and mints it doesn’t just mask them but actually eliminates them, but I don’t agree with the [...]

Same weight & new scales on the way

Monday, September 15th, 2008

No loss again this week, but that’s OK — I usually find that if I am going to lose anything it comes off for the Wednesday weigh in, not the Sunday one.
And by the next weigh in on Wednesday I will (should) have my new fancy pants scales, so double the reason to look forward [...]

10 Tips on boosting your metabolism

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

You hear it all the time – “metabolism”, but what is it? It’s the process of converting food to energy (movement and heat). Metabolism happens in your muscles and organs and the result of it is what we commonly refer to as “burning calories”. Metabolism is essentially the speed at which your body’s motor is [...]

Another pound down.

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

I have lost another pound at tonights weigh in, oh happy days, that was an unexpected one really.
I will definitely have to continue on doing what I am doing for now, as it seems to be working — I’d be thrilled to lose a pound a week, steadily, I’d rather than that lose 3lbs, then [...]

This time last year

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I was just looking at my weight loss chart on ExtraPounds.com as I was logging my weight for the week. This time last year I weighed 14 stone and 5 pounds…I weigh 11 stone 7 pounds now….that really brings it to light how much weight I have lost. I am often hard on myself because [...]
