Congratulations on achieving the "Connected" badge!

Way to get support! Keep connecting to other iChangers to get the accountability and support you need. You will find that it is a lot easier to lose when you do it with others.

Wow think I overdosed on Fat there today. But it was yummy fat!!

2010-05-12 10:02pm +0100

Think about how you feel. Do you feel energized? If the answer is yes then you probably need that amount found. If you are feeling sluggish, then it was probably too much. Use that as your gauge, show more

2010-05-12 02:08pm -0700

yeah I definitely ate too much. I went for roast carrot and unidentifiable vegetable in work today ( had a debate about whether it was turnip or sweet potato) instead of chips but it wasn't really tha show more

Cardio Salsa for an hour this evening and moderate swimming for 45 mins, so I'm wrecked but happy! Hopefully will make Aqua Aerobics tomorrow, and /or the Wii Fit!

Ow!

Going to the kitchen to find the calories on a bread I ate today I tripped and really hurt my toes. They are all swollen now. Yikes!

Luckily its 11pm here so I managed to get my dancing and swimming in before tripping. Really enjoyed the exercise, just have to build up endurance for the swimming. I'm waiting for a new class of Kettlebells to start in work in a few weeks, I hear its fantastic for weightloss according to my many colleagues in work who do it.

On the topic of work: it's still really busy but I seem to care less this week. I knew all along I would get no thanks for the extra hours but my caring system has crashed and I don't give a toss about it now.

An update from the Udo's Choice Pro Biotic that Linda recommended, I haven't been on them that long but they've taken away my itchy eye problem (which I mistook for mascara irritation) and I'm doing much better.

I do find that since I've switched to eating all this protein , I'm going to the toilet a lot less but its more difficult -any else noticed this?

My husband keeps telling me I look awesome from all this exercise, in a 'you look so fresh and healthy' way. I'm of course delighted to hear this and it motivates me to keep going. I feel so much more alive now, I used to pass the pool, pass the dance studio and wish I was the type of person who went there often, and now the change is made and I feel like couch potato me has disappeared. I've so much more energy and don't regard this as a 'diet' at all.

I feel like I found myself. That I've become the person I wanted to be on a physical and mental level. On other levels I'm not satisfied but I hope to restart them soon too.

I wish you all a good night xx

Well, I haven't had time to do any updates the last few days, what with working very long days. My boss (who is French) keeps piling it on. It's hard to say 'non'!. Actually it's impossible, and he wants everything yesterday.I'm working on 5 simultaneous projects and one of my contractors told me today he's feeling overloaded with his 3. Welcome to the club, I thought.

Just back from the pool a while, missed Aqua Aerobics so I went to the Adult swim at 9pm instead.

Had my Dad staying with us over the weekend, we went for long walks along the beach front and hiked up a cliff head for beautiful panoramic views over miles of Dublin coastline.

Made us all a homemade chinese beef dish and (tut tut) ate lots of junk.

I still lost a pound though...yay!!!

Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day , it's celebrated in March in Ireland.

Finding it hard in work to get any breakfast or lunch at all these days , but trying to get my protein drink in , in the morning , and snacking on nuts during the day. Never feel hungry and the days of feeling drowsy and yawning the whole afternoon are over. So I'm really happy about that.

Hope everyone having a good week and feeling motivated to exercise and watch that scale go down, we can do it!

Hey girl! thanks for the sweet words of encouagement! I read you were trying to have a baby - great! That gives me another special request to pray for! I did not get pregnant until I was 41 - after the Drs. said I couldn't have a child at 35. Yes, she's my angel miracle. What kind of work do you do? I'm not much of a fitness buff but I do like to treadmill and dance. Keep up the good work - it is great to connect with you! Be Blessed!
