DIARY OF NBGAL

Diary of Admin ~ Becky

I'm hoping that this will keep me on track with my diet and exercise routine as lately I have had no motivation what so ever. Hoping that having all this written down online will make me see how well I am doing and make me stick with it or help me see how badly I am doing so it can cyber kick my butt

I have always been big, since my father is quite a large man and unfortunately my genes are from him lol. I did get down to a size 14 at one point but that was stress related and I hardly ate any food so that was not a good way to lose the weight since I felt constantly dizzy and even fainted on a couple of occassions.

I gained most of my weight since working in an office, I was so used to being up and about doing something physical so when I got my new job of sitting down in the same place for 7-8 hours it was quite tough. I went up to 16 stone 7lbs and was a size 20-22.

In the past year I have managed to lose some weight and now weigh 13 stone 12lbs and am a size 16-18. I still have a long way to go as I would ideally like to be a size 14-16. My weight for my height is meant to be 10 stone 6lbs. So I guess I have a little more exercise and dieting to go before I reach that….

I can already tell that having this forum up has helped me to stick with my diet plan today. When I fancied eating junk food this morning for break I resisted knowing full well I had to put it on here. As I didn't want to write on this forum that I had eaten junk food on my very first day I ate 2 banana's instead.
I have been drinking water all day and will have finished my 1.5 litre bottle of water before I leave work . My eating has also been good so far. Other then my 2 banana's, I had a chicken/cheese/red pepper wrap for lunch and an apple for dessert. At the moment I don't feel the need to snack on anything as I am currently not hungry but I know I have raisins and a low calorie cereal bar in my bag should I feel peckish.
My back has been playing up all day today, so I am hoping that when I get home it will be okay to do some gentle exercises.

...Right, so my exercising didn't go as planned...as soon as I got home I instantly got changed and sat on the sofa as my back pain was just too much, and thats not an excuse,...after a few hours I grabbed my dumbells and Wii Fit board and did some weights whilst doing a few step exercises...the only downside was that I only managed 10 minutes and I guess thats better then nothing.

Eating wise, I chose a seaford lasagne with salad and a low fat yogurt for pudding. Not bad!!!!

Hey hun - you have done so well already that you should be proud of yourself for what you have got yourself down too

You can do it

Think thin

C xx

Thank you hun....well I did a bad thing...I weighed myself this morning, considering that I just ate rubbish all weekend I don't know why I bothered, but was horrified to find that I was 2lbs heavier then what I thought...I have now amended my weight on the other posts and think thats what I needed to give me a kick up the butt. Only problem that I am having again today is that my back is still hurting. I thought it would only be a one off again like the other times but it's not getting better.
Will try and do some yoga tonight if possible to help my back then maybe do a little jogging on the spot when I get home.

12.32pm… So far this morning my eating has been good. I have eaten a banana and a low calorie cereal bar…I'm on lunch in half an hour so hoping that when I go to the canteen there will be something healthy to eat….The wrap I ate yesterday was healthy but tastes of nothing….fingers crossed I can get my hands on something yummy

Ok my eating is on track, I managed to stick with a vegetable wrap and an apple for lunch and then pasta with salad for dinner with a low fat yogurt for after. My exercises are the thing suffering big time and I can't seem to get out of this rutt...really need to do something...

Becky ~ Admin

You seem to be doing really well keep going.. x

Food wise, yes...exercise wise NO
I weighed myself again this morning…I was so annoyed that I hadn't lost any weight but can see why…I don't know why I keep feeling sorry for myself and moan about not losing weight when I am not doing anything to lose that weight….RIGHT…so last night I watched my Body Blitz dvd, now due to the fact that I hate putting that dvd on because the talking annoys me I decided to watch it and makes notes last night so that when I get home today I can put the tv on to whatever I want and just go by my notes and exercise for about 30 minutes…THINK THIN THINK THIN!!!!!!!!!

I may need to borrow that DVD when I am back on my feet eek !

YEP CYBER SLAP COMING !! THink thin x

Well my eating is still on track and yesterday I didn't really have dinner I just ate some crackers and wheetabix. I did have a pasta bake for lunch at work though…small portion and then didn't do any exercise because my back was bad…was going to do some sit ups but because I have to do them on a solid floor it would hurt my back even more. I'm kinda stuck in a rutt at the moment…don't know where to get some motivation from…

Well I wasn't actually going to post at all in this forum until Monday…My diet yesterday was rubbish, I started off really well by eating my cereal bar for breakfast, drank 1.5 litres of Water, but then after eating the Potatoe bake at work I craved Chocolate so ended up buying a Twirl and a bag of Quavers…now there is no doubt in my mind that the junk food DIDN'T put the weight on….sounds stupid but I think it was actually the Potatoe Bake as that’s full of Carbohydrates. After being on a Diet for over a year I have finally realised what foods can bump up my weight….so no more carbs for me…well not loads of them anyhow. I have decided to stick to bringing a Salad to work each day and only head to the canteen for a hot drink and some Water.
I went on the scales this morning and it has gone back up to 14 stone so I am NOT impressed and I have only myself to blame so starting now I will make sure my eating is perfect and then at the weekend, no alcohol and only low fat crisps. Will try and get myself out for a walk for an hour on Saturday…god how I wish I had my Treadmill, Im going to buy one soon though….for my mini Gym

Becky ~ Admin

I wish I could afford a mini Gym or somewhere to hide it when I was finished.. !! maybe I should get a shed put in the garden and work out in there after the boys have gone to bed ?

It will drop off you once you get going it did last time it will again xxx

Well it's not going to be an expensive Gym. Really I just need to buy a Treadmill and an Exercise bike….I think that’s all I could most likely fit in there and its easier then having that stuff in my room.

I have my Fruit and Salad today for work and hope that it gets me through the day. I already made up another Salad for when I get home…back is playing up again today so I am going to have to push through it and make sure it doesn't drag me down so that I can't do my workout…I NEED TO EXERCISE WHEN I GET HOME!!!!

Becky ~ Admin

Well, so far I have done what I said…exercised when I got home. Part of me is saying it's down to me not thinking about it too much, usually I get home and go 'hmmm shall I exercise? No I can do it tomorrow' and of course I never do it the next day.
Now I make sure I get home, get my exercise gear on, put my music on, run a bath so after my workout I can just hop in and cool off. It's worked so far, would be so much better to have someone that I could workout with.
Just had a thought that I could speak to one of my friends who I used to work with and see if she wants to go jogging after work twice a week, then another friend I could go Swimming with once a week and the rest of the week I could do my exercise dvd.
Well whilst Im thinking of it I will email my work mate and see what she says.

Good luck and have fun with your sister on Saturday xx

My eating was quite bad yesterday, in terms of quantity. I went to the Canteen at work to get a Salad and it didn't look that nice, I already told my workmates to get my some Chicken when they went out. But they came back with a Chicken leg which looked like it had been dumped in tons of grease. No way was I eating that, I threw it in the bin and just had a Banana.
I didn't do my workout until around 7.30 last night. I got in and just couldn't be bothered, then the guilt set in and so I thought I may as well do it, the workout went quite fast oddly enough.

Well at least you had the get up and go to do it

True I hope this motivation I have sticks, I don't want to get back to not working out, as my trousers are loose at the moment and I can even take them off without undoing them YAY!!!

Is it weigh in day yet? I'm really nervous about Saturday morning, I really hope I have lost some weight, if the scales have gone down then I will be happy.
I almost fell off the wagon last night lol, started making a drink and thought 'I could easily eat loads of biscuits right now' then I remembered the weigh in and how much I have exercised this week, I thought that all my hard work would just go to waste, so I resisted. YAY…GO ME

Becky ~ Admin

YAY YOU

you have be proud with the fact that you can pull your trousers down with out undoing them

Yep Now I am thinking of getting size 16's just to aim for something. As the dress I recently bought in a size 16 fits weird.
This is the dress I got, its sort of risky but its gorgeous
