Gained a pound

Toria — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:18:19 +0000

Gosh darn it. I was not expecting that when I stepped on the scales last night. I had two days off from working out over the last 2 weeks when I was feeling unwell and I have been good as gold with my eating — I was ready and waiting for my first loss in what seems like forever.

Oh well, gotta keep plodding on and hope for a better result next week

Please no gain please no gain

I am terrified about tomorrows weigh in, it’s a long time since I have felt as nervous as this over it…usually it’s excitement and the feeling of not being able to wait! I think having not lost anything for so many weeks, a gain, even if it’s only a pound or two, would hit really really hard – I hope to heck I am doing the right thing here and taking my foot off the peddle for a short while will work out for me in the long run. Eeep.

I lost 2lbs while on holiday, wow.

So I weighed myself, I was at 12 stone – I literally jumped up and down, I was expecting to have put on a few lbs minimum…but to put it bluntly, I hadn’t been to the loo for a few days and I was fully clothed and I had just had a big meal – so I suspected I might be even less. I weighed in again this morning, after clearing myself out (ewww, sorry ), not having any food in my belly and stark naked, 11.12. WOW. I lost 2lb.

Obviously this thrills me, but it also confuses the heck out of me. How can I lose 2lbs when I am not being too careful about what I eat and not working out at all? It only goes to confirm to me what I have long suspected, and that’s that I am doing something wrong, if only I knew what. So I am going to increase my calories by 200 per day and only work out every other day – it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

And this is a bit disheartening, I went to check my current BMI for updating the stats in my sidebar and I am still 13lbs into the ‘obese’ category – that means I still have to get down to 10.13 before I am classed as just ‘overweight’ – ugh.

I have set my next mini goal as 11.8 as that will be 4 stone lost in total.

Back from holiday, not yet weighed in

I’m home, had a wonderful time but dreading hopping on those scales tonight. Over the last week or so I have had more ‘naughty’ food than I have had in the last year, I even had a pint and a half of cider and black – my first alcoholic drink in 16 months.

I have had a kebab, fish and chips, a fry up, ice creams, fudge and a whole lot more.

I will post an update after I have weighed in, I expect to be up at least a few lbs…though knowing my luck it’ll be more, eeeeh.

Officially on vacation

Toria — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:35:52 +0000

So, I am not officially on vacation for 2 weeks. YAY.

As I have said, I am not going to go crazy and use being away as an excuse to pile on a load of weight, but I fully expect to return at least a few lbs heavier – if I can lose nothing for a whole month giving it 100%, it’s not looking good for what will happen in 2 weeks when I am only giving it 75%. I am already looking forward to eating fish and chips by the sea one night, and I don’t feel an ounce of guilt about it

For the first week I am away I will still have internet access, so you never I know I may get the chance to write a quick blog or two, but if not…see you with reports in a few weeks!

The Biggest Loser – A woman can win it.

Toria — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:55:01 +0000

I am a huge fan of the Biggest Loser, the UK, American and Australian versions…and I love to see the women do well, as it is undoubtedly harder for women to lose weight than me…but I get so sick of hearing these women moan and winge and whine that a woman can never win this show, a woman CAN win The Biggest Loser and I know this because a woman won the last series of The Biggest Loser UK. Watch Jodie’s story and see her amazing transformation here:

Now try telling me it’s impossible for a woman to win! Pah.

Err, not quite as planned.

Toria — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:31:06 +0000

Well, after my last entry professing that I was going to try harder at my work outs and really get things moving again…I only managed 30 minutes on my elliptical tonight. I don’t know what was wrong with me, but my legs just felt like they didn’t want me to work out tonight – I was ready to give up after 10 minutes, but pushed it to 30/250 calories. I have never been happier for a session to come to an end, ha.

Weekly weigh in time in about an hour, woo.

Getting back into the swing of things.

Toria — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:18:38 +0000

Yesterday I managed to do 50 minutes on my elliptical, over 400 calories burned according to the read out…though I sort of take that with a pinch of salt…as every online calculator says a different thing. I hadn’t really done that long on it in a few months, when my old one broke down and I was without one for 2 weeks, then I had a 9 day migraine I really got out of the swing of it. I have been doing it every day since then, but only managing 30 – 40 minutes. I am determined that I will get myself back up to 70+ a day, and pretty swiftly now also

Today is weigh day, I can’t wait to see if that random 3lb loss is going to stay off…or if as I suspect it was some sort of glitch and I will be having to add it back on! That won’t be fun, although I have done a lot of stalling and not losing lately…it’s ages since I have had a gain. That’s interesting actually, because gaining 1 or 2 lbs was pretty common for me before.

Random – 3lbs

Toria — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 15:09:29 +0000

So yesterday was meant to be the start of my slighty changed regime – breakfast, and an increse of 200 calories per day. I was all set to start, but then got thrown a curve ball…I weighed myself on Sunday evening as I usually do, 12.8 still for the 4th weigh in in a row, no change since I hit my 3 stone lost mini goal. Then I weighed myself on Wednesday night in preperation for starting this…12.5, what? I lost 3lbs in 3lbs?! That’s insane, especially as I wasn’t working out or any thing – Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my days off.

I am pleased but also confused, I can go a month working hard and not lose any thing…then I go and drop 3lb in 3 days with mininmal effort. I will never understand how my body works.

So I have decided not to change my routine this week, I will see how things go for a while and then rethink. Ja.

Move scale, Move!

Toria — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 02:31:08 +0000

I am having a hard time getting that scale to move again at the moment, I have not lost any thing since I hit my 3 stone target. Annoying. I can fully admit to not giving 100% the last few weeks, I some how seem to have lost my motivation somewhat – but I have by no means gone crazy, so still would have expected to lose a pound or two.

Next week I am going to increase my calories, from 1200 to 1400, this terrifies me quite honestly…I’ve spent the last year trying to cut calories and now I have to try eat more, it seems wrong to me, but I feel like I need to do it…I have other people telling me 1200 is too few, and since I am stalled any way…

I hope it doesn’t go horribly wrong.

I will keep you updated.
