Boxing

I tried my new WII game, exercise boxing, and its really fun, and definately a good workout. I think I`ll be feeling a bit sore tomorrow. It was a bit hard on my bare feet so next time I`ll try it with some shoes on. I think this game will get me through the winter, thank goodness. 

Cheers.

Well, I went off the wagon for a while. Too many tempting costco cookies and not enough will -power is never a good thing. But I`ve been good this week and feeling better. I ordered a kickboxing WII fit game which I`m waiting to try out. My friend Brett used to do boxing and took me for a `trial lesson` once and I really enjoyed it. Unfortuantely my plans for joining were thwarted by me getting pregnant with Princess P. I`m really hoping this game will be a good workout and something I will enjoy enough to continue. Will get back to you when I try it out.

Monthly update.

Well, as of tomorrow it`s been a month since I started this challenge. I actually forgot to weigh myself at the start so I`m not entirely sure how much I`ve lost but its at least 2 kilos, which keeps me on track with my goal. My jeans are feeling less tight and I`m fitting into some of my old clothes. Still a long way to go but I`m doing OK.
I had a talk with my husband yesterday and we have decided to be more active as a family. I`ve put the alarm clock in the living room and from now on we are all getting up at 7am. With the cold weather we`ve been sleeping in later and later and I`ve been skipping walks. Now we`ll all get up together and my husband with watch Princess P and give her breakfast while I go for a walk. Its also a good chance for some quality daddy-daughter time. The other thing we decided is to do something active every weekend. Go to the heated pool, hike up Minoh mountain, walk down to Aeon plaza, play soccer with P in the park, etc. It doesn`thave to be a big planned outing, just something to get us all out of the house doing something active. This weekend we have decided to go to the pool. I`m hoping to go more often with Princess P so that she`ll get used to the water and then start her on swimming classes when she`s big enough.
That`s about all I have to report for now. Keep up the good work everyone!

A good weekend.

Sadly not a good weekend for healthy eating and exercise but a fun relaxing weekend none-the-less. I went out to dinner and drinking with a friend which released a lot of my `mummy tension`. I really do feel more positive and happy and ready to get back on track with being more healthy. This morning I decided to give my WII fit a go after a , ahem, rather long time of not doing it.It seems the disk isn`t working.....yep, a rather long time. I`ll see if my husband can get it working but I will definately go and buy another one if he can`t fixit. When Princess P goes down for her nap I might see if I can find an exercise video and give it a try. I think I have some belly dance videos some where.... How was your weekend?

I`m not .....

any fun to be around when I`m dieting. Well, maybe that`s an over-statement but I definately get grumpy easier. Maybe its me having sugar withdrawals. Or my body being mad at me for stopping the steady income of yummies. Who knows, but I hate me when I`m dieting. I also hate that we can`t really eat out. That means a lot more cooking for me, especially on weekends when I usually get a break from the mundane chore. While my husband often cooks on the weekend, he doesn`t cook anything healthy. Sigh. I guess I`ll have to put up with it until I can drop some weight. This weekend was difficult since we stayed at the inlaws. I had no choice over the menu so there was nothing diet friendly which made me grumpy, although its not really their fault. And tonight my husband requested kushi-katsu, which for those of you who don`t know, is different kinds of meat and vegetables that arecrumbed and deep fried. Yeah, thanks for that honey. Sometimes he just doesn`t think things through. So now I`m feeling grumpy that I had to eat it and feeling guilty about all the calories. Grrrr. The occasional meal of fatty food is fine, I`m not being fanatical, but it feels like it was the whole weekend. After last weekend`s gain I had promised myself I`d try harder this weekend but that didn`t happen. I`m feeling pretty down but I suppose all I can do is start again tomorrow.... and have a bit of a firm chat with my husband....

So very tired....

Its been a few busy days with a birthday party, house guests and getting ready for 2 big (late) halloween parties at work today. I also hurt my neck in an unfortunate sharing-the-bed-with-a-wriggly-toddler incident. I`m totally tired and my body is seriously craving sugar. I know I`m not hungry having just finished dinner an hour ago. So why is my body doing this to me? Its not fair to have my mind thinking one thing and my body another. Its hard to listen to the 2 voices; my mind saying you don`t need to eat a pack of tim-tams and my body screaming TIM-TAMS! Of course the screaming voice is drowning out the rational voice. I think I need to go to bed now so that I can drown out the voices with my snores. And hopefully with a good sleep I`ll wake up ready for a nice walk in the morning. I haven`t heard much from you guys so far. How`s it all going in your neck of the woods????

A hard lesson

I knew this weekend was going to be hard...I did fine eating until Saturday night and things went down-hill from there. While I didn`t eat as much junk food as I normally would (or could) have, my eating this weekend has resulted in a shocking weight gain of more than a kilo. Really disappointed with myself, but not surprised since weekends are the worst for me. Having a house guest, and going to a birthday party meant that I wasn`t able to et what I would have liked and I guess I didn`t try hard enough. Being on a diet in front of other people has never been easy for me. But I`ve learnt my lesson with the gain and hopefully won`t make that mistake again. I went for a walk this morning and really gave it 100%. I pushed myelf harder than usual and it felt good. The cool morning air was quite envigorating. Hopefully this afternoon I`ll be able to get some more exercise in and start making up for the weekend. I don`t have any birthday parties coming up this month so no more excuses to eat cake. I have to say that since I`ve been walking and eating better, I am feeling healthier. Not exactly feeling skinny, but definately feeling the possibility of being skinnier one day. How is everyone else doing? How did you survive the weekend?
