The meaning of life is.... err I mean Livejournal
I've created this journal for the sole purpose of recording my weightloss efforts for 2006 onwards.
I have struggled with my weight since a child it's a combination of genes, a terrible addiction to chocolate and a lazy arse regime of no exercise.
It's time to reprogram this life of mine and this journal is to hold me accountable! It will be a registry of exercise, a weekly weigh in, and occasional measurements as well as a place to record my goals, accomplishments and failures.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Still house hunting, OMG I'm sooo over it! It's just one inspection after another. There are about 5 houses we are applying for tomorrow so fingers crossed we get one of them. The rental market in Melbourne is crazy at the moment there are about 20 applicants per property. It's really affected my gym time too as I'm going to inspections before work where normally I would be going to workout.

I got the secondment I was after I'm moving upstairs tomorrow. Working 9-5hrs WooT! It'll be great experience. It meant I got to go shopping today and get a more corporate wardrobe. I love the pieces I purchased I can't stand suits I was actually dreading the corporate look but I still have Dayna attached :D

I've discovered Tea T2 tea. I've never been a tea drinker, I'm an espresso kinda girl. So far I'm very keen on Melbourne Breakfast (black tea & vanilla), Tummy tea is refreshing (Celadulah flowers, peppermint, spearmint, & licorice root) Marrakech (Middle Eastern blend gunpowder, Chinese Green tea & peppermint) was erck and today I purchase French Earl Grey. Definitely getting my fill of anti-oxidants.

My fortnightly weigh-in & measurements at the gym was Friday and I had lost 2cm from my Shoulders, Waist, Left Thigh, Breasts and get this 4cm off my Right thigh (WTF) and nothing off my hips. Now I know all the hurting was worth it LoL on the weight front I put on 1kg but that was overnight Thursday and alas yesterday I got my period.

The last two day the pain oh the pain, it was leg slaughter. I would of had to of completed over 100 lunges there was no walking between weights and cardio equipment it was lunge everywhere and before I went on the next piece of equipment and had lunged there I was made to lunge back where I was and then return. My legs were trembling at the end of 45minutes. Then there were sets of squats with me holding up 40kg (88lb) across my shoulders, 50kg (110lb) leg curls on and on and on. She also had me running 3 sets of 2min sprints with a minute inbetween at 10kph (6.25mph) and I kicked butt c25k has really built up my cardiovascular muscles I wasn't out of breath I couldn't believe it at that pace.

I have not had a drink in 14 days, it's been tough since I've had it in easy access. This coming weekend I'm afraid it will be the end of my streak as I have a birthday celebration to go to and there shall be jugs of Margarita's. LoL we are going to see Grease in Drag it's going to be fabulous!

Home gym vs gym membership?

Hope your all doing great! WooT daylight savings is over and I get another hour of sleep!

It's me again. I think I need to elaborate on a few points from my last entry.

I feel like I'm becoming lazy in my weight loss efforts. I used to be so stringent with everything.
My Breakfast's lately have not been balanced I've gotten back into old habits of two slices of wholemeal toast with vegemite and light tasty cheese. Where is the protein?
Most days I've been skipping lunch or eating 200g of yoghurt or eating 3 plain dry biscuits. No protein again accept for the one or two days I have yoghurt and no serving of fruit and veg.
Dinners have been all over the place 1-2 nights I don't eat it and the rest of the nights I throw together meat & salad or meat & veg. It is my most balanced meal of the day generally.

Now on to the alcohol so far this week I have drank four days and there is still one day left in the week, some from Birthday celebrations and other days I'm self medicating. Last 3-4 weeks I've been getting really down. I've been going to the gym still 3-4 times a week but not even the endorphins are picking up my mood when I have finished my workout. All Doctors ever want to do is medicate and I will never go that direction again. I think I will start getting acupuncture as it really helped last time around, but I'm definitely going to look into private health insurance first as I also wasn't paying for it last time either and at the moment it would cripple my bank account. I believe my suppressed appetite is also a result of my mood as I've never had the stomach for food in the past when feeling like this.

But I will survive.

I was going to buy a health/weight loss magazine today I flipped through a few in my local newsagency but they all seemed gimmicky. Does anyone out there subscribe to anything? I walked out with Juxtapoz Art & Culture and the local ArtAlmanac instead.

I should go make a start on dinner since it nearly 7pm. I'm going to cook a stirfry with a garlic, soy and honey sauce.

I have to stop drinking a bottle of wine on the weekends, this is something that must change! Also on this list is no more skipping meals. Lately there have been days where I've only eaten once. There really is no excuse for this and I know the days that I eat a balanced 2000 calories are the weeks I have the most success with the scale.

From Tuesday I've been on annual leave for a week WooP WooP, and it was also my 26th year. I had a great day with my boy, he took me out to lunch to The Fairfield Boathouse & Tea Gardens then after we had eaten rowed me along the river in a Gentleman's rowing boat, it was a beautiful day all I needed was a parasol. ;) Then for a boy who loathes shopping he took me to DFO in Essendon (I've never been before) we looked at a house in Hawthorn and finally had dinner with my boy and best friend at Boheme on Bridge Rd. Sunday I will meet up with most of my friends at Werribee Zoo for Rhythm of Africa.

I found out Thursday that my landlord wants to move in and we have till May 2nd to be out. So it's going to be long sessions of house hunting and lining up for open inspections. Blah!

Gym this week was a killer. My PT got me hurting everyday and today when showering I saw all the bruises up my arms from boxing yesterday. Haha no I wasn't sparring with my PT. I had to do hook punches and thrust my arm just below elbow into the pad as hard as I could. I was ecstatic it was my arms as my butt and legs were in pain from doing 30mins of just lunges, squats and stepper with weights the day before and usually it's my legs getting punished by kicking up into the pad.

This is my year. The year of transition from completing uni to settling into day to day life from building a foundation in all aspects from weight, art, work, housing, traveling etc. I have alot to get done, but I will get there.

1 week, 3 days till my birthday, I can't decide how I want to spend it. I'm going to get the consensus of my friends if they'd be interested traveling to Werribee Zoo for Rhythm of Africa, something different and if the boy and I went earlier we could either do the rip roar feed or open vehicle adventure. It'll be the Saturday after my birthday so still left with no ideas for the day but maybe my baibe will surprise me.

1am with an 8.30 start tomorrow I should catch some zzzzz

My body is throbbing my limbs like jelly. I've pushed myself really hard at the gym the past few days. Yesterday was my first 2 hour session I've done in months and it was all cardio and strength training where it used to be an hour of cardio and an hour of yoga. I will return to yoga soon I'm going to rearrange my personal training session to fit it in. My shin splints have eased up so I'm back running. Next week I'm determined that I will be on week 3 of the C25k program. I want to do solely cardio tomorrow and I will get to the gym Saturday morning before work to do strength training. Sunday isn't possible as my gym opening hours are while I'm at work and not before or after my shift, but there is my Calix to walk around Princes Park.
I got Scissor Sisters Tickets YaY they are playing February 9th it's going to be awesome I think I'll put in for annual leave now for the Saturday so I can continue dancing with my friends around the city afterwards.
I gotta go make myself some food for dinner. The boy gets home from work at 8.40 then we're going to see A Scanner Darkly or A Guide To Recognising Your Saints depending how much time we have once and if we get to the cinema on time.

I haven't been a regular updater of late my life has been busy to say the least. I have probably drank half my weight in red wine this past fortnight and this little chart I'm pasting you'll be able to guess the days I did.



In the defense of the red wine though I got my period on the 25th so the 1.7kg (3.7lb) gain overnight was normal for that event. While on the conversation topic I think my body has finally cleansed itself of contraceptives as this month I had stabbing period pain (something I've never experienced while on the pill & Implanon), my cycle was within 28 days (not the fortnightly like in the past 5 months) and it lasted exactly 5 days Woo!

I found time to watch Oprah the other day it was Dr. Oz with You On a Diet episode we are a month behind the US in Australia. I think it was a terrible interview but I'm really interested in body dynamics and thinking of purchasing said book. Has anyone purchased this book? Review on if it's a good read. I was surprised to hear him state on the show that most of our seratonin is stored in our stomach and not the brain this leading people emotionally eat, but we eat foods that are full of sugar prolonging the depression and that Omega-3 fatty acids actually stimulate good moods. I think science can tell us alot if only I could rid myself of the scale and be happy with the inch decrease.

Before I end this post I must admit that I have been disgusted in myself for the amount of alcohol I've been consuming lately. All I could think of tonight was opening a bottle of red. I think Monday & Tuesday have been the only days I haven't drank in the past 9 days. Bleh I think I need to give up red wine as I'm less inclined to drink as much as I do with spirits. I have found a beer that I like and OMG I hate beer so thats saying something its called Pure Blonde it has 3.15 Carbs and 105 calories per stubby compared to 280 calories for the same amount of red wine. It's the only beer that hasn't made me feel bloated. See this evil relationship with alcohol I start of saying how disgusted I'am for drinking as much as I have and I start writing how I can justify it by drinking other types of alcohol :/

Well The Biggest Loser episode 10 has finished downloading so thats the rest of my night before bed. Hope your all doing great.

KILOGRAMS POUNDS
STARTING WEIGHT 5th January 06  125.5 276
LAST WEEK 115.9 259.16
THIS WEEK 116.5 256.30
LOSS THIS WEEK +0.6 +1.32
TOTAL LOSS 9 19.8





Can't understand why I didn't post my 1kg loss last week but bleh had to gain this week :/ It was alot more disastrous on Monday I was 117.8kg. I drank alot of Cab Merlot over the weekend around 3 bottles and not much water apart from what was in my coffee, so it's my own fault I'm dealing with it. From the 25th of November I'm going to have to show great control with my red wine consumption as I have a wedding, hens night, my exhibition opening, and another wedding all in one week. Must drink 2 glasses of water between each glass of wine.
Hehe I won a small battle over chocolate last night. I was having one of my moody cravings, give me chocolate or Die! Ok not so dramatic but I've painted a great picture. I brought a Cadbury Boost from the vending machine at work and each time I went to open it I was like I don't want you, your going to destroy all my great work today, so I'd put it away, but I kept getting it out again when my subconscious was telling me no it's OK one bite one bite and continued the same process until the craving passed. Woo YaY!
Time to jump in the shower have to get to the gym in 30mins for PT session, hope your having a great day/night.

It's been so long that I've entered anything into my CalorieKing Nutrition and Exercise manager that it's taking forever to update the food database. Wow I gone since the 29th of September without being accountable for my food. Just entering my food so far it has amazed me the difference in brands of Tuna nutrition wise. John West Lemon Pepper tuna has higher calorie and fat content than the same flavour in Greenseas which also is beneficial due to the has higher protein content. Oh why does the John West have to taste better. The Greenseas is nice but a little on the tart side, I guess that would be due to higher lemon content.
164 calories for dinner is bad! I might stock up my draw at work with quick meal stuff like tuna and dry biscuits.
Personal training today really wore me out it's just before midnight and I'm exhausted. I completed 25mins on crosstrainer beforehand burning 350cal then started off the session doing minute sprints on 10km/hr (6.25mi) we moved onto all arm weight routines, squats, lunges with shoulder press, finishing off with 5mins of cycling. Calorieking is advising that it was about 758 calories burnt :D My PT and I are training together tomorrow she thinks it would be great to have company with workouts and it's not going to cost me anything BONUS! someone to push me harder we are going to focus solely on Cardio for 45mins :D

Thats enough update for me I'm hitting the sack, bleh 11 hour work day tomorrow.

Wow I wasn't expecting how hard it was going to be to drag my butt to the gym today but I made it and felt so great afterwards.  I hate breaking a great routine as you have to struggle to re-establish habits.  Which leads me to say I've finished Uni YaY!!!! Can't wait to see my transcripts just to confirm I've graduated :D
I started the c25k program today with great success. First interval I ran at 7km (4.3mi) p/h felt a bit too easy so increased next to 7.5km(4.6mi) still I felt I wasn't exerting myself enough so settled on 8km(5mi)  Last interval my knee got a little tender but not enough to stop.  I still had so much energy and didn't want to overdo the running so jumped on the crosstrainer.   It felt at the start with the walking intervals that they were longer than 90seconds to at the end thinking that it couldn't of been 90 ;) Hehe!  Just with this first day I can totally see myself achieving this.  I will be Dayna "The runner"
Bleh I gained weight over the weekend, I can definitely contribute it to excessive alcohol consumption.  But I was celebrating completing Uni so I don't regret it at all and more than likely it's just going to be water retention that I will see drop off my Wednesday's weigh in.
Tomorrow I must start journaling food again, no excuses as time is just not an issue now.  I think I will print out weekly reports and give them to PT to hold me accountable and once the boy starts work again a good reference when I see a dietitian.

Hehe it's time to pimp my newly created community [info]100lbs2losec25k
I created it in hope of establishing a great support network for though completing or thinking of starting the C25k program.
As there are other C25k communities on Livejournal I want [info]100lbs2losec25k to be a place for though who are implementing it into their weightloss plans and have alot of weight to lose. As our experience would be alot different to though undertaking it who are at a normal BMI.

I'm wanting people to use this community as a springboard to begin your journey or though already started somewhere to report and keep a C25k diary on your
progress. So you may encourage, inspire and motivate and be encouraged, inspired and motivated in return.

I want [info]100lbs2losec25k to be a safe environment for seeking advise and tips from other c25k'ers on running, weight loss & nutrition. Including topics such as running shoes, stretching, joint pain, inspiring play-lists, and dietary needs as you increase the intensity.

Hope to see some of you guys there

Went to the gym today for 30mins after my morning classes at Uni, as I had to get home to keep slogging through my essay. Kept my heart-rate around 165-170 the entire time. Sprinted for two consecutive minutes covering 0.5km so I'm really going to have to dig deep to achieve my 30 day challenge goal of being able to sprint 3 minutes which concludes on Friday. I'm going to look into breathing techniques while sprinting as I get a really sore dry throat and it just burns which is the main reason I slow down into a power walk.
My period decided that it is here so hopefully that is a factor into the 1kg gain overnight on the weekend which I've now lost 0.4kg of this morning. I would really love to be in the 116's by Friday if not back down to 117.4 that will be good enough.

I'm going to participate in the next 30 day challenge starting 1st November the first 10 days I don't know how I will go exercise wise due to having to complete my Graduation based assessment on 10th November but I will try.
I've also decided upon knowing my roster at work up until about March 2007 that I'm going to get my PT to write up a program for me that includes 2-4 hours of exercise a day 5 days a week. Once 10th of November comes I don't start work till 3pm daily so there is nothing stopping me from implementing the time that was for uni to gym time. I guess in a way it will be in Biggest Loser style once the program is written up I will take it to a dietitian to match the amount of food I should be eating regarding grams of protein, carbohydrates, & fat. I want to reach my goal weight so bad that I'm at a point that I will try anything to get there, I'm already paying for the gym so why not utilise it for more than 6hrs a week. If anyone is interested in doing it this way with me due to having some time opening up in your schedules I will be quiet happy to share the program and diet that is written up.

I haven't updated my food here for a couple of days not because I'm not logging but because I'm solely using the CalorieKing Nutrition software. It's amazing it breaks my daily diet into graphs of the proportion of protein, carb and fat I have consumed. It's definitely shown me I need to eat more protein and just not look at calorie and carb content on the back of labels anymore. I've never looked at fat content because most products say 97-99% fat free that I buy but according to my graphs these things aren't that fat free at all. Due to time restrictions I will only be posing in software and not here plus I'm probably boring you all with it by now.

Now on the weight side of things I'm disappointed in 0.4kg but I did have a shit food weekend. Heres to this week being a 1kg :D

Internal ultrasound went well read notes advised of no evidence of PCOS. But I have a small uterus measuring 2.9cm on right and 3.9cm on left. Through Google I've learnt it should be around 6cm each side. I don't think I'm going to put myself through having babies as I came across articles relating to having to be stitched up to avoid miscarriage and the likelihood of premature birth. Bleh!
I got a copy of this software today. I own the book Calorie Fat & Carbohydrate Counter so I think it's going to work great for me as it seems like an aussie version of sparkpeople
Ok so going through the food on that software it is US version Doh! but the graphical charts are awesome and I can add all my own brands and serving sizes etc and their nutritional info, so it will read the protein, fat and fibre for future entries. I might download the Aussie trial version and see if the US version Crack works can only try I guess.
So after adding all my food and exercise in today it says I should of eaten alot more 1400 calories is great for me! Due to the amount of exercise and expending so many calories. I just can't win. I consumed the exact amount of fibre 25.5g, I was 12g under in protein only consuming 92g, way under in carbs by 112g only consuming 137g and under in fat by 10.5g consuming 50.6g.
I just found out my boy was fired today due to downsizing :( Things are going to be tight for awhile, I'm contracted into personal training so the cut backs wont be there. I might have to start buying regular food rather than organic not much caloric difference only quality :(

Impressions: Ok Hot Chips not great but it was that or not eat lunch. Didn't get a chance to go food shopping yesterday and had to eat work cafeteria food, the other choices were much worse :( Really bad food weekend soooo disappointed going to kick my butt at the gym tomorrow. I think PT session and 1hr Cardio session afterwards will be adequate to burn the evilness I've consumed.
Have to consume 1 litre of water by 9.30 tomorrow bleh! Should go to bed as need to get up early to achieve this I cant believe it is 12am already. I got home from work about 9.40pm where has the day/night gone?
