Today i did some exercise although i have no idea how long it took for me to do it. I also wasnt in the mood to go walking outside.
2 minutes step ups
2 minutes running on spot
2 minutes step ups
2 minutes running
30 star jumps 2 sets
20 tricep dips 2 sets
2 minutes crunches hands by side
2 minutes crunches hands across chest
2 minutes crunches hands behind head
1 minute plank
3 sets x 12 shoulder press
3 sets x 12 bench press

Although i did alot i dont like this program because i should be focusing on one body part per day.
Especially on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays when there is no training.

its so hard
Over the last week i have been fabulous with my exercising. I have been walking at least 45 minutes a day and attending training. One day, when i was in the city i walked 3 hours and went to training later that night.
The only thing is that i have been experiencing diarrhea. At first i thought it was a virus but i haven't had any other symptoms. But at about 3pm every day i am sick. The only thing i have done different is eat a little more of the good fats but that is the only thing that is different. I am hoping that its my bodies way of cleaning out because i have increased my exercise. However, i have lost no weight, in fact i have gained or stabolised a little bit. If it continues until Monday i might contact the doctor.
Tonight i went to Woolworth's to buy some milk. As soon as i walked in i started craving something sweet. However, i stuck to my guns and in the end i came out with what i went for. Milk only! Its been a long time since i have been able to resist a strong craving. That's an achievement that i think deserves recognition.

I am fabulous
The last few days i have been determind to change my life for the better. I have been eating really healthy and exercising everyday. My out look is changing and i am beginning to love myself more and more everyday and I am trying not to let anything effect me at all.
Yesterday i went to the city for the day. Normally i would buy myself a treat such as a chocolate or a ice cream. I didnt do that and i also had a really healthy lunch.
One thing i have been eating is rice paper rolls. I shouldn't eat to much of them because they are carbs but they are so fresh. However, they are good carbs and i would rather be eating them than a chocolate bar or something worse. Sugar makes me so sick sometimes.
I really want the weight to come off and i have never been more determined than i am right now. I want this to be my year.
Another thing is, a friend of mine i have been told might contact me. This person has hurt me very badly TWICE before. I dont think i will be making the same mistake again.

I have made a decision
Today i have made a decision about my training next year. My training at school is ending because i am transferring. I was going to go to the gym but the truth is i hate the gym. I hate exercising on a machine that has been used by someone else that has been sweating. I also feel very exposed at the gym. I cant explain the "exposure" however, i always feel very uncomfortable being there and i also feel very alone.
The advantage of training on my own is that, not only is it going to take a lot of exercising, it is going to take a total mental overhaul. I have to BELIEVE that i can do this and i have to say it over and over again. I BELIEVE IN MYSELF AND MY ABILITIES. When i was seeing the hypno she made me listen to this tape which said " i constantly think and act in the direction of my highest good and goal" and that is what i plan to do.
I also plan to think like a thin person. There are rules of the universe that state that you ask the universe and you think as if you already have that thing. So i am going to think that i am already thin and i am already wearing sexy clothes. I have to visualise myself having achieved my goal.

Being accountable
I have just finished reading more of Silvestro's book and i have realised some very important things about myself. Although i admit totally to having a weight problem i have not been honest about my behaviours sorounding my weight problem.
I know i am 29 kilos overweight, however, admitting what i did to get there has been a huge problem for me. I am in total denial about myself.
I remember the "bad" weeks when i did "sureslim" . The weeks where i had eaten something that wasnt in the diet or over indulged in something. I also remember the feelings of guilt and sadness i felt when i handed in my food diary. Although i never knew for sure, i could almost feel the consultant laughing at me or even hear their thoughts of "she's not going to achieve her goal". They probably didnt think anything of my failures, however, i had such low self esteem that i always thought people were judging me. The thing is, instead of taking this on board and trying to improve, i would only write down the healthy things i ate and conviently forgot the bad things because i didnt want to experience those bad feelings.
Well that is going to change, when i stuff up i am going to write it down and aim to improve. No more "forgetting" to write my bad moments . No more lying to myself or denial. Just honesty ! However, the hardest thing for me, is not being negetative or hard on myself. Stuff ups are apart of everyones weightloss journey and i have to be prepared to accept that.

bit of a blow out
Today i had a bit of a blow out. Before recess i was moving all of my stuff so i was using a lot of energy plus i was surrounded with a lot of dust. As soon as i went to the staff room and i saw some lollies i ate them. They werent gluten free so that is one area that i have to work on. So i shoulndt have had them anyway.
Then after school i had four freddo frogs because i was so tired and tonight i had an ice cream. In the back of my mind i figure that i have worked hard to today so i deserve it plus i had a healthy dinner. However, now that i think about ALL that i have eaten across the day it makes me shudder. Its a lot of sugar.
Strategies:
Dont sit near the lollies in the staffroom.
Take some snacks (carbs) to the staff meeting so i dont feel like sugar.
