DIARY OF NBGAL

Good luck you are doing fab x

I am not looking forward to weigh in x

Nope me neither now, just wanting it to be over, I have only exercised 2 days so far this week, I must do some tonight because I didn't do any yesterday, once the football was over I just got home and did a bit of housework instead since it was too damn hot to do anything else I didn't feel too bad though since I have already lost those 4lbs that was my original goal to lose before Bon Jovi and since I am half a stone lighter then when you guys last saw me I am okay with that …I would still love to lose 2 stone by tomorrow though

So now the Bon Jovi show is out of the way I am using the 24th July as my motivation. I figured that if I use the upcoming events as my next goal then I won't get roped back into my old habit of eating rubbish and doing no exercise.
As of next week I am going to try a new diet (think I have tried fad diets enough but oh well), it's going to mean that I eat plenty of fresh Vegetables (which I should be doing anyway) and cutting out snacking inbetween meals. Also means that I am having to cut back on my Tea intake ( boohooo) and switch to Semi Skimmed Milk. I'm not meant to have Milk in my Tea on this diet but I can't imagine having Tea without it…that’s going to taste weird otherwise.
I don't know what to do about my exercise plan though, might try and continue with the 1 hour and 30 minutes workout, with my eating being back to normal I should have more energy.

I was good yesterday, managed 1 hour and 30 minutes worth of exercise. I am surprised I got through it considering the heat yesterday, it was really hot and humid and it's not nice to exercise when it's like that. I think I need someone to stand next to me with a fan in my face whilst I am working out
Thinking of doing my Body Blitz dvd instead tonight to change things up a bit but not sure yet. Depending on the weather I will wait and see when I get home.
Ate well again, but I don't think I am eating enough to get my Protein, Sodium and Sugar. I need to look into that and see what I can do to change it around.

Feeling a little bad now did well this morning with my cereal bar and then go ahead biscuits for a snack and have just eaten Chips and a Baguette from our Work canteen :S grrrr how could I? lol
No more days off now, have to be good for the rest of the week - including the weekend :O that’s going to be tough. Will try and keep myself busy to make sure I am not even tempted by anything bad.
Thank god we have our sins/bins meet up in 3 weeks, something to keep me motivated - shame I didn't think of that just before ordering Chips thankfully I am off to Swimming after work so I will really need to get my butt into gear for that.

Had to cancel our Swimming plans due to my friend not feeling well, so didn't do any exercise yesterday Went food shopping and ended up buying tons of fresh Vegetables, Meat and everything in my trolley was low fat or natural lol I don't know why I haven't been eating that way before????
This morning I have started my new diet plan, was going to start on Monday but since I weighed myself this morning and found I had put on 5lbs I knew I had to start straight away.
Already had an Apple and 1 cup of Tea (so only allowed 2 more cups now) having no snacks whatsoever and drinking more Water. Not even allowed fruit juice, Chewing Gum or Alcohol (that will change on the 24th July)
Working out is going to be the hardest thing today I think. I did Boxing on my Wii about 2 days ago for 25 minutes and my arms are still killing me

So I have still been good for the past 2 days, been having smaller portions and less cups of Tea - even though I am getting a headache from having no Sugar also switched Full Fat Milk to Semi Skimmed.

I did plan on being very good this weekend, but unfortunately I have just bought a Ham Wrap, Quavers and Malteasers :O I am terrible and I should stick to my diet, thankfully this week I have lost 3lbs so I can have a mini pig out session whilst watching some Cougar Town - Even though I am gutted they were so short - I am going to head home and do 30 minutes of my Tae Bo dvd and then chill out for the evening. Since my Salmon with Vegetables meal didn't taste nice I am heading for Cod Fillets with Veg, hope to god that tastes better since I know fish is really good for you. I'm such a fussy eater though. On the plus side I have found out that I love Low Fat Cottage Cheese…BONUS!!!

Lost another 3lbs ? did I read that right ? x

Those 5lbs I lost before Jovi, I put back on afterwards then lost 3lbs and I reckon I put them back on again lol

I wasn't very good at the weekend feel a little bad that I didn't get any exercise done or eat healthy. The mornings seem to start off really well and I had 25g's worth of Oats with Semi Skimmed Milk …then I get offered Cheese on Toast and my instant reaction is 'It's the weekend and I can start properly on Monday' why I keep doing that I never know. I seriously need to get rid of any temptation because I am finding myself getting back into my old eating habits at the weekends.
Food wise I ate way too much junk again, Crisps, Chocolate, Fizzy drink, Chips, etc... not so good

I am craving a lot of Sugar lately and getting headaches so I am starting to think that because I no longer take Sugar in my Tea that my body is craving the stuff. I don't think it helps that I pigged out on Sugar over the weekend so my body has gone into a shock on Monday with having very little.

Not looking forward to exercising tonight since my headache doesn't seem to want to leave…it's going to take some effort today

Managed to do my 30 minutes Tae Bo dvd…it was hard work though and I couldn't believe how hot I was. I think my face went redder then a London bus.
I am finding that after doing my exercises I am really not that hungry and all I want to do is eat something like Cereal. I'm hoping today my exercise dvd will be easier since my headache has now gone and it's a little cooler outside.

So I didn't do my exercises after work booooo.
Ordered another Tae Bo dvd, looks harder then the first though :O

Felt a tad useless last night tried my new Tae Bo dvd after work. Must have gotten into about 10 minutes of it and started to feel the pain. I was really out of breath and just couldn't keep up, the first part of the routine was fine, but as it went on it was really difficult to do especially when the moves were sped up. Certain moves were impossible for me to do, what with that and sliding back and forth on my wood flooring (yes I need a mat I know) I gave up and switched this dvd to the Body Blitz one…again only managed about 10 minutes as I was out of breath yet again.
The only thing I can think of is that I am not getting enough exercise or eating plenty of fruit, so am hoping to get home tonight and do my first Tae Bo dvd (after chucking the other one out) for 30 minutes, have a 15 minute break and then try my Perfect Fit dvd…hoping that will get me back on track because I need some energy.

Feeling a little sick Just ate a spicey Chicken Rottis for lunch at work and since it's Carbohydrates they seem to make me so full but I couldn't stop eating it

I managed to exercise last night, for 30 minutes with my Tae Bo dvd, but got really out of breath at the end and it was quite scary because I couldn't breathe properly and it was like I had asthma, felt as if my lungs couldn't get enough air in them and something was blocking it. I don't know why that happened as it hasn't been like that before.

I will be trying again tonight and see how I go….

So far today has been good, a co worker of mine has said I look 'fantastic' another co worker said I had lost a lot of weight in my face especially and that they passed me the other day not realising it was me at first.
Had another work colleague say that I had done well, asked how much I lost and said I didn't have much to lose now. Once I told them I wanted to lose 2 more stone they looked at me in a really shocked way, like it was too much. Everyone around me seems to say the same thing, that I don't need to lose anymore…how come they are seeing a thin me and Im not :S Its been various people who are not anyone I class as ''friends'' so why would they say it in the first place I am totally at a loss.

Claire you are the size I want to get down to, but people are saying if I lose anymore I will look really drawn in the face

I understand that hun - everyone around me says why ! why do you want to lose any more !! I HAVE PUT IT ON THATS why !

I think you look fab now ! but it is up to you what you want to go down too ! xx and each to their own ... I am not going to listen to people - I will take there compliments ! but thats it! it is up to me how much more I want too lose x

I will shut up now x

I hate exercise, I hate dieting, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it I am so annoyed with myself (YET AGAIN) why the hell I can't stick to what I say is beyond me. The whole weekend I was in Swindon, and the only bad thing I ended up eating was a jar of Sweets that I bought whilst in town with an old school friend and her son. I went to a BBQ but only ate a Chicken wing and a Sausage, played Hide and Seek with the kids so spent a lot of the time running around. The bad thing happened as soon as I got back to London, I mentioned that I wanted a Cheesecake and ate half of one :O never good, also bought Chocolate and felt so sick but for some reason I couldn't stop eating it.
Hoping that I can get back on track this week since the past 2 weeks have been all over the place in regards to my eating and exercising.

Diet and Exercise went well yesterday. Ate the right things and did my Body Blitz dvd for 40 minutes Now I just have to make sure I do the same again today :S

I really wish I had your motivation x

Didn't last long hun lol, I skipped my exercises last night but may try something tonight when I get home.

…Or not Skipped them again.

I only exercised 3 times last week, so as long as I make sure I get in 3-4 days worth of exercise this week I think I will be okay, so heres hoping exercise for tonight, tomorrow, and then Sunday or early Saturday morning before the party starts
