Weigh In (Week 12)

Friday, August 31st, 2007

So, three months in and this week sees a massive weightloss of 5.75 pounds! I am not even sure how I managed it given that this is the week I have found hardest to control food wise, so it must be all the extra exercise I am getting! Click here to see my stats.

Motivation is Good

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I am just back from a particularly good workout at the gym. Particularly good because it’s the first time I have done a full workout in a week (I just did weights the other day because I walked 90 minutes there and back) and it really brushed the cobwebs away!
My instructor got on the […]

A Change As Good As A Rest

Monday, August 27th, 2007

I have been AWOL for days and thought it was time I returned! I am pleased to announce that the weightloss is going strong despite going through the hugely stressful moving experience. I’d planned on keeping up with my gym routine throughout but after the first day of moving boxes I could barely […]

Weigh In (Week 11)

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I really didn’t want to weigh in today because yesterday I just ate so much crap with complete abandonment…like I haven’t since I started. It all went wrong when I woke up absolutely shattered from moving the day before and my breakfast cereal had gone for a walk. I felt so weak and I […]

Moving Out, On

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

I’m getting quite a workout and I haven’t been near a gym today! I picked up the keys to my new apartment today and I have been taking boxes and stuff over there. I can’t do much as I only have a small car but trying to do as much as possible in this […]

Jack Osbourne on Weightloss

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I was reading a magazine at the gym today where Jack Osbourne was asked if he felt proud of himself for losing weight.
He responded with ‘not really… I mean, I’d feel proud if I saved a baby from a burning building or something… but for getting off my lazy arse and getting my health […]

Benefit of Exercise

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

People believe the advice of ‘30 minutes gentle exercise per day’ constitutes walking to the car, according to this BBC article. How funny. While this is valuable exercise to the more mobility-challenged among us, most people need to do more than walk to the car and back.
I am renowned for being lazy. I have […]

Obesity Epidemic

Monday, August 20th, 2007

There is a really good article on how to safely lose weight, written by NetDoctor.co.uk here.
Yesterday I was researching obesity charities with the view of using my skills (as a journalist/communications/pr assistant/web designer) to help the charity. I came across Toast-UK, which is quite interesting. Reading their about us page I was really impressed […]

Differences

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

I am really starting to see the effects of my hard work and enthusiasm toward weightloss and it is nothing less than thrilling. There are many exciting things but one of the aspects of weightloss that is so good to me is not only re-gaining mobility but being more active in the day to […]
