It's been a while!

I haven't been back on the blog for a while, lots happened with having my Mum visiting to my husband working away for long periods that I had not been following the program as I was.

I will say that my weight is hovering around the 70 kilo mark (154 lbs) so that gives me a total loss of 12.8 kilos (28 lbs). My last weigh in at the TF centre was recorded at 69.3 kilos.

Exercise isn't as much especially with Zumba because its at a time that my kids have to be in bed and the treadmill... hmm no excuse cause its right in front of me but I'm working on getting my motivation up again to get back on it. I think that time will be coming on Tuesday onwards as hubby is home and don't want to hear see I knew you wouldn't use it all the time... so have to show see I'm still using it... see puff puff LOL

I'm not gaining so thats a good thing but when you don't do it for a while its hard to jump back. My goal weight still stands at 65 kilos so will need to jump back on board, ok next week is the week ;)

Week 11 weigh in

Rocked up to my weigh in to face the music and the results are in:

Starting weight: 82.8kg

Week 1: 80.8 (-2.0kg)
Week 2: 79.4 (-1.4kg)
Week 3: 78.5 (-0.9kg)
Week 4: 76.3 (-2.2kg)
Week 5: 75.2 (-1.1kg)
Week 6: 73.4 (-1.8kg)
Week 7: 72.7 (-0.7kg)
Week 8: 72.4 (-0.3kg)
Week 9: 71.4 (-1.0kg)
Week 10: dnw
Week 11: 70.4 (-1.0kg)

Total loss overall: 12.4kgs

I have no words to describe why I had a loss 1.0 kg instead of that enormous gain I saw after Easter. I went back to the program again but didn't do any of the exercise I usally do eg zumba or treadmill. Maybe restarting the program I lost fluid that you normally do lose in the first week, that's the only explanation I can come up with.


I am not complaining :)

Oohh I've been bad!

Ok, Easter wasn't the best time to have a short break from the program.

My short break ended up being 5 days of carbs galore! Including going out for dinner and consuming chicken breast with creamy garlic prawns (lots of cream in that one) and chips and garlic bread, Nasi Goreng on another night and I won't mention the rest as it's making me hungry again LOL.

But I'm not beating myself up over it, I enjoyed my break and have started back on it today. The weight gain ended up being 1.8kgs and already its down to 1.2kg (even though the next day after that lovely meal I had a loss of 0.5g which was weird).

I will go back to see my TF consultant on Saturday morning to get more shakes and might as well jump on the scales to record my gain so I can work towards getting it off again... oh, and ease myself back into Zumba/Treadmill running which went on a break as well.

Here I go!!!

This week's weigh in

I didn't want to worry about being on the program for the Easter break so decided not to weigh in on Saturday. I have a few family get togethers coming up this weekend and want to enjoy the wonderful company (and yummy food prepared by my wonderful SIL who happens to be a chef) and will just pick it up where I left next Tuesday.

I also want to mention ANZAC Day on Tuesday holds a special place in my heart, I will be marching in the city with the Honouring Indigenous War Graves Inc members. It is a real honour to be marching with men and women whom I deeply respect. It's a very emotional and uplifting day and very much look forward to it.

To sign off, please do take care if you are travelling on the roads and enjoy every moment if you are visiting family and friends over the break.

Week 9 weigh in

1kg down today bringing to a total of a 11.4kg loss in 9 weeks.

I thought it was going to be a few grams again because this week I felt really bloated and just didn't feel like I had much loss so the 1kg took me by surprise. I have about 6.4kg to go to reach my goal weight now and then hopefully I will be able to maintain it, that will be a big challenge.

Starting weight: 82.8kg
Week 1: 80.8 (-2.0kg)
Week 2: 79.4 (-1.4kg)
Week 3: 78.5 (-0.9kg)
Week 4: 76.3 (-2.2kg)
Week 5: 75.2 (-1.1kg)
Week 6: 73.4 (-1.8kg)
Week 7: 72.7 (-0.7kg)
Week 8: 72.4 (-0.3kg)
Week 9: 71.4 (-1.0kg)


For my Saturday treat I'm going to have pizza as I've been craving it all week. I feel as though the more you deprive your body from carbs the more you will cave in so letting yourself have a treat day, you feel as though you are not missing out. I've been doing this (had treat days) since I've started Tony Ferguson program and my weight has continued to drop every week.

Week 8 weigh in

Completely forgot to put my stats up, so much has came up with my husband away and the kids both getting sick. They had started swimming last week with the school and straight away they came down with something.

Starting weight: 82.8kg

Week 1: 80.8 (-2.0kg)
Week 2: 79.4 (-1.4kg)
Week 3: 78.5 (-0.9kg)
Week 4: 76.3 (-2.2kg)
Week 5: 75.2 (-1.1kg)
Week 6: 73.4 (-1.8kg)
Week 7: 72.7 (-0.7kg)
Week 8: 72.4 (-0.3kg)

Current weight: 72.4kg

I had a funny feeling that I was only going to record a small loss this week. But, it all adds onto the final weigh loss total. So as long as it goes down not up is keeping me going.


Did Zumba tonight. I've missed the last 3 classes and it felt great to get back into it. Usually when I do a class I try and eat 2 hours beforehand but didn't have the time to do that tonight and had to wait for after the class. It doesn't finish until 8.30pm so eating around that time doesn't feel too good and will have to avoid that in the future.

Week 7 weigh in

Starting weight: 82.8kg

Week 1: 80.8 (-2.0kg)
Week 2: 79.4 (-1.4kg)
Week 3: 78.5 (-0.9kg)
Week 4: 76.3 (-2.2kg)
Week 5: 75.2 (-1.1kg)
Week 6: 73.4 (-1.8kg)
Week 7: 72.7 (-0.7kg)

Current weight: 72.7kg

I have finally hit the 10.1kg loss mark!! and back to my weight before having the kids but my goal weight being at 65kg I still have 7.7kgs to go.

Last weekend being the party I did sneak in a few pizza's and sausage rolls, oh my they tasted good and I stayed good the rest of week.  There was so much preparation the night before with getting all the food together and getting up at 4.30am to finish off icing the cupcakes and sticking the edible star wars icing on each one. I was really glad that the party was at 9am because by 11am it was all over and I was finally able to relax. I have to do it all again in June for my youngest daughter and will have to come up with a Mario theme. Look forward to that.

Last night I had the yummy pizza chicken which consisted of 120g chicken breast sliced in half and flattened and a tablespoon of pasta sauce then as much allowable vegetables you can fit on top, for me it was: tomato, zucchini, mushroom, red onion, capsicum. Baked in the oven for 20 min's with the last 5 mins I added some philly light cream cheese which completely tops it off. With steamed cauliflower and brocolli on the side it was a massive meal and very filling.

Another favourite of mine is doing the above in stuffed field mushrooms.

I purchased the Zumba wii fit game and it was a really good workout. It definitely made me sweat it out and that was just doing the beginner. Interested to see how it goes as you advance through the game.


Time to not worry about the diet now and just enjoy the rest of my treat day.
