Beivied - need to break out of the cycle

Today is the end of second week of our new programme, Lose to Win.

Just did a 45 min jog at Mount Vernon (yes, the old cemetery). It is bright and sunny and I am with my husband, plus other people jogging (I hope they are PEOPLE)..

I weighed 70.9kg this morning, no clothes on. With clothes it is usually 71.5 to 71.9. And I have been stagnant around this weight for a very very long while.

Looking back at the start of the Lose Big programme, I was around 76kilo, having lost a kilo through challenging my colleagues in Credit Suisse.

But it is not even 10% of my weight.

The determination and perseverance that Alice has shown in the last three months is simply appalling. I will try to exercise more also, and hope that I can get better results.

Ivy!!! 不可以这样下去了！！！！

Lose Big Programme

Finally , it is now about 6 weeks after the 13 weeks programme.

I have drop from 108kg to 98kg, 10kg in 13 weeks, and now 94kg, additional 4kg in 6 weeks.

I am still 94kg, with my tummy and double chin, abit of change but still FAT lor.

I have over trained in the past 13 weeks, hit the wall for 3 weeks, trying to adjust all ways that i can.

Now I have just started two, yes not one but 2 new programme

1) Racer Toolbox - Run Programme... its all abt run, how long, every day

2) HPB Lose to Win - this is a group exercise , aerobic, ya .. some ok alright session .

My goal, to lose another 10% in 12 weeks =D

But i am starting abit slow now, compared to my days in FF.

I will still continue to blog in my Go Elisha Go... until i reach my idea weight

Remember , Weight lost is not a sprint, it is a long distance race =D

Beivied - Trying Hard to be Losers

Alice and I have been on the Biggest Loser programme for seven weeks now, and we are seeing a bit of results... though I must say, for the first three to four weeks, it was totally at least for myself. I didnt see much weight loss until I really work out more seriously on the fifth week, and also cutting out foods that I think normal, like mixed vege rice. just one rice meal a day is enough to make my efforts wasted.

Although I dunno what is Elis's weight now, but it is quite obvious that she has lost weight as she is slimmer now, and like one of our friend say, can see more of her neck, hahaha.. goodjob!! Jia You!!!

So now I am eating mainly salad, cereal, and seafood soups. From the start of the programme at about 76 kilos, my weigh in yesterday was 72.7. Alas my weight fluctuate on a daily basis. Today my weight is 73.5. I slept at least six hours, so I think it may have to do eating too many preserved plums at mama house yesterday, which may cause water retention due to too much sodium.

We have another six weeks to go, so we must make sure we make full use of this remaining six weeks!!!

New Start, with photos

Alice and I joined a fitness program to lose weight, and have done the first week. At every session we would do about half hour to 45 minutes of cardio training, and then strength training. There are sooooo many problems and obstacles to losing weight, that it just seems an unattainable dream.

What is stopping me?

on working out
1) no time to exercise. I work up to 16 hours a day during month end, and 12 hours sometimes.
2) very tired after work. during work a lot of brainpower is used, and by the time work is done, all i want to do is have dinner and sleep.
3) menstruation. Whenever I have menses, I also dont feel like exercising.
4) just plain lazy - bad mood days that you just done feel like working out.

on food
1) i try to cut down on my food, but every weekend i will eat more than weekdays even though i think that i am already cutting down. so end up even if i exercise, i dont lose weight
2) i lose more weight on days that i eat salad and subway, but it is expensive to upkeep. so i would go to eat za cai fan, which somehow, is very bad for my weight.
3) i am learning how to bake cakes, which means i do eat some cake every weekend.


what should i dooooooooo???? @_@

last year i was weighing 74 or something when we started our resolution. i ended with 70 kg but balloon to 77 kg in a few months. now i start to exercise again i weigh between 74 to 75 kilos, depending on when.

so sian.

Heavy issue

Well it is kind of silly and impulse for me to join the Lose Big Programme, somewhere in my brain I was thot to Lose Big but not viualizing the amount of effort I need to put in, after a week or two... i realised that what I have done is not enuf and more more is need to do if I want to lose 2.2 pound.. and 2 weeks weight is not dropping, of i feel abig disapoointed and when on makan spree... hey hey dun get the idea wrong ... I am that type that I only eat plain home cooked food.. makan spree means I eat outside.. and eat dinner....

but since i am already in it, so i need to bulk up and replan...

New beginning (again)

Ok Ok ... I have signed up for the Lose Big programme, and yesterday was the Orientation/Fitness test.


Yesterday weigh in .. at home, on my fav weighing machine is 106.8kg. But the problem is every Monday I wil be 108kg... reach wednesday to friday , I will go to 106.8 -107.5kg, the yoyoing is too big and too consistant le ba....



And let back track.. Jul 2009 I was 112.xkg Nov 2009 I was 108kg, that is about my proud 4kg lost... then from Dec 2009 to 31 Mar 2010, I am 107kg.... meaning initial stage I lost kg 4kg in 4-5 months time, and lost only 1 kg in another 4month, what the H**k..

This is not worst , cos I did the weigh in at Fitness First , it is the horrible 108.1kg. damm it... just cannot escape from the figure 108!!! even my first time used locker number is 108 .. kns..

I need to break thru the 108 Spell...

I have started another blog to track the progress. for 12 weeks.... I should at least drop 8kg ... (not for anything but the money I paid hahahaha)

My aim - 10% weight loss (10kg) for Apr - Aug 2010 since I am going to put in sooo much effort

Then Ramadhan - you know why lah (but 2009 I did not experience great weight gain ... er until Hari Raya hahahaha)

Then another 5% weight loss from Sep 2010 - Mar 2011 hahahaha

Not Fair

Like what my Hunney always want to say.... then i will replied, nothing is fair ...

Well, I dun think i really feast for the past 4 days, since thursday, but I ate a little more than usual, and had rice. And worst is I did not exercise for 2 weeks.

Guess what ? I weigh 109kg this morning, on my new fav weighing scale (mmm maybe spoilt le)

So disappointed, can't i just eat abit more, exercise a big less . and 4 days = 8 months effort wasted.

So what am i going to do... I have a few plan

Plan A I come to think, the most stable weight loss happened if I jog every morning. So shd i wake up as early as 5am to jog?

Plan B Convince my self that I am a cow that eat grass? or maybe allow some soup? or maybe allow 2 slices of bread in the morning? and maybe just allow myself to lunch at the canteen once a week? and allow free eating day during the weekend? Maple diet? Egg diet? Apple Diet? Soup Diet? What sort of diet shd i go for, just shut my mouth, water diet? No oil, No rice, No chocolate, No soft drinks, No cake ( ya Ivy No cake) no no no

This is just so Not Fair

CNY resolution

I love the weighing scale that Evon gave to me... it says 107.1kg this morning (6am without clohes and b4 breakfast) hahahaha

Well, it was 107.6kg last night but i bet it was due to my clothes and pants and the food i ate.

Great I shall weigh more often, forget abt my office gym... the scale just goes up up and never down down.

So New Resolution, with Helmey , We will Run 1.5km every night, and I am into the interval training again after reading an articles abt this is the best way to burn fat ina shorter time frame. I will still leave one day for longer run though.

As for Food - i wish i can be like evon, just take soup and lost so much in a month, abt 5kg is it? Well too bad , it is CNY... after CNY ba.

Fill me up

Life is indeed very stressful... with the new routine kicks in for 2010, i am rushing almost every day .. every weekends, and every moments..

Although I have started back my run and gym routine, drank reduced sugar soya bean everyday ... but I am feeling very hungry every moment... no amt of food can fill me up.

Maybe I should follow the mayo diet with a twist, i wanted to cook veggie soup and eat to my fill everyday.... maybe it will works =D

Stress = Eat -> too fat = lagi stressed... we are trapped!!!

Run2010 - Run off...

Dun ask me abt my weigh... since Xmas party... year end party... other dept invited party... hunney bday party ... new year party... my own bday.... my anni.... and my daily makan .... All and alll make me dare not to step on the weighing machine..

Last week of 2009, I have started 2 runs on that week.. 1.5km and 3 km respectively... heel still hurt but not that much...

First week of 2010... i took the first 2 days off to send children to school... so i have the luxury of doing my morning runs.. 4 jan 1.5km... 5 jan 3km.... and also walk 8 jan 3km... and 9 jan i ran a good 2.8km... OMG.. i go back to my running additiction.... running is too convienent... just a pair of shoes and off i go.... but I have added more brisk walking to my so called run....

And to much unfortunate.. or fortunate.... this year (and the many years ahead) i need to send helmey to school by 7am... and fetch hunney by 6.30pm... so i reckon i will be able speed up the process of my weight loss plan... ahahahaaa..

I lost abt 4.5kg in last 6 months... so my target by Jun 2010 shd be another 5kg... *wink*wink*wink* ..

For my sisters... run , eat brown rice, and water vegetable... run... is the best cure ba....

If u have not started, Start Running... If you have started , Keep Running...

Beivied - Fattening up

straight after my Tokyo trip, i gained back all the weight i lost, and now i am at a steady 74.5kg.  Damn all the good food!!!!

And working until midnight everyday just doesnt help. Plus the meal allowance, I am eating very full dinners for the whole week. One month no gym.

SIGH.

Next week I am back to the gym!

Alice, how can we save ourselves?
