Weigh In (Week 11)

By Groovybabe • Aug 24th, 2007 • Category: diet management, food, weighing in, weightloss

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

By Groovybabe • Aug 22nd, 2007 • Category: diet management, eating healthily, life

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

By Groovybabe • Aug 21st, 2007 • Category: article, clothes, incentive

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

By Groovybabe • Aug 21st, 2007 • Category: article, exercise, gym, health, incentive

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

By Groovybabe • Aug 20th, 2007 • Category: article, diet management, health, news, therapy

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

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 [...]

Hangover

By Groovybabe • Aug 4th, 2007 • Category: clubbing, exercise, stuggling

I am having a hard time with the hangover! It was a really good night so totally worth it but it doesn’t make it any easier. Normally I would be off food completely but I seem to be ravenous! I am managing it well though. I was quite hungry at about 3am. I was [...]



I’m getting there, slowly

By Groovybabe • Aug 3rd, 2007 • Category: being motivated, exercise, gym, inch loss

Just back from the gym again (I made 3x this week!). I nearly never went today because I took a Nytol last night and it made my body feel really tired this morning (I slept 12 hours!) but I forced myself to and I feel so much better for it!
I didn’t go mad because [...]



Weigh In (Week 8)

By Groovybabe • Aug 3rd, 2007 • Category: eating healthily, food, health, self esteem, weighing in, weightloss

And here we are… reaching yet another weekly weigh in. This week I have been doing this for two whole months without a break - what an achievement. I don’t recall lasting this long on any diet attempt, ever. So… without further ado this week I have lost 2.25lbs! Yay yay yay! To be [...]
