Goal 4: 1st centennial - loose 100 lbs/45 kg


Weightgain - stablising +0.4 lbs

A week wrought with dinners, luncheons and dates, and a terrible craving for anything sweet. This week I plan to stick to the letter of the WW law., as I really really wish to break through the 130 kg/286 lbs barrier.

I have noticed that using more sugary food items over the festive season (December) has created a kind of mild sugar addiction. So, I have decided to ban added sugar as much as is feasibly possible for a week, a sort of detox programme.

This week I will spend on upping my motivation as I find it is not as strong as it was in May.

Excercise

This week I also start aerobics class on thursday. It will be fun to see how I botch that up! I have the co-ordination of a mule! But I am very much looking forward to it! As I have indicated before, I have grown to like excercise. yesterday after WW weighing I walked home (30 mins) and enjoyed every mooment of it thoroughly.

Yet I find it hard to schedule my exercise in the mornings. I detest having just a half an hour to sit down to sort of get my morning started, and so I sacrifice my excercise time, and have a full hour morning time. So I do not go walking every morning; now I get up at 6 AM. A solution would be to get up at 05:30 AM, but that is pushing healthy living just a tad TOO far. I would have to go to bed earlier. But I love my evenings and I will NOT go to bed any earlier than midnight.....NOT!

I am going to see if I can fit it in in my evenings.

I cannot last until midnight. My husband gets up at 4:30am to be at work at 5:30am. I usually wake up as he leaves, so I have a little quiet time before the boy gets up and wakes the rest of the civilized world. Little boys are noisy!

But even as early as I get up, I can't make myself exercise that early. My body just doesn't want to do it. So I read my paper, have my coffee, take a bazillion pills and watch the weather. Then I'm dealing with boy-child and getting him ready for school and me ready for work.

I can take walks at work, and every evening, I walk the dog. Right now I'm just trying to fit something in everyday. Once I have my new routine down, I hope to add more weights and such - and I'm starting a tai chi class on Tuesday!

You, my friend, are doing a good thing getting away from so much sweet - because sweet usually is accompanied by FAT, and together they are SOOOOO good on the tongue and so bad everywhere else! Let me know what you think of the Agave stuff. I'm wondering if a healthfood store here might carry it - because it's definitely NOT in a regular grocery.

I hope your exercising is doing well. I have found exercise to help me very much with my well-being.

I also suffered a set back by having so many sweet things at Christmas and have changed my food plan to one where I abstain from sugar. It's just easier for me right now.

I have to do my exercise in the morning otherwise I lose my motivation to do it at all. Hope the aerobics class is fun. Keep us updated.

Dearest Sayre, loyal, loyal friend. I am sorry to keep you wondering and perhaps worrying.

The fact is I am struggling so very hard, and most of all to keep my spirits up. I have hit a brick wall and all I feel I am doing is moving backwards.

BUT, having said that, the posts of all who post during these days keep me going. I appreciate it so very much.

Thank you Sayre!

Dear Ironside,

Thank you for your post. The posts I receive this last month are valuable beyond words.

As for excercise, amidst all that I fail to do, such as healthy eating AND losing weight, I have joined an aerobics class. And you know what I wasn't doing half bad!

I could actually follow most of the routine. I had more troubles with the low impact muscle drill than the high impact cardio vascular thingy.

Yay for me! Hope you are doing well!!

Dearest Nona, I read your story, and I know exactly what you are talking about. I am on a candy rollercoaster and there seems no stopping it. The net result is a 7.4 lbs weightgain in january.

-grumbles somthing evil- But our post and that of others makes it impossible for me to just hide and be content what I have lost so far without striving to loose more.

I have 11 more months and I WILL break through the 130 kilo's barrier to start out with. Additionally, I will become a centennial, losing 100 lbs!!

Come hell of high water I will do it. Abstaining from sugar is still a goal as well.

Thank you Nona for being there, and keep going!!
