10 KILOGRAMS IN 3 MONTHS CHALLENGE WEEK 7

Amen!

 My goal was to be in the 86's kg this week but due to the London riots I had to skip out on a gym session which I believe would have resulted in me achieving my goal. My scales are lying to me, well kind of, it is my fault really, I got on them waaay too many times this week and it is giving to two different results, 86.6 and 85.5, I do not know which one is right so this week I will ignore the scales until Thursday, my weigh day. I am not stressed about not knowing what the number is exactly because I can see and feel the weight loss in my clothes. My gym shorts nearly fell to the ground when I was running for a bus on Monday, I only caught a bus because of the riots, it just wasn't safe. My belly is visible in my t shirts but it doesn't look like I am 6 months preggers, I look like I am two months preggers! I found out that my old fav t shirts from uniqlo which are a size small have a 33 to 35 inch bust. At least now I know what I am working to exactly, 33 to 35 inch bust and a 30 inch belly.

Story of my fridge life.
On the food frontier, I have a bit of a confession, I eat normally all over again. I eat my carbs( hello, half a large Dominos pizza with 1 topping), my fats, heck even ice cream (60 calories per 2 scoops!! I am in love!), chocolate, oreos, everything but in moderation. Food is always grilled or boiled, never fried, I use sunflower oil which is lower in calories and saturated fat than extra virgin olive oil, shocking I know! I have brown bread, white if we are out, my milk is skimmed with 1% fat and  I am drinking at least 3 cups of green tea, no sugar in anything, no sugar in my oatmeal, muesli, tea, rice krispies, nada. I may have to increase my veg intake a bit, I have been lacking on that.
I get what you are saying Snooks!!

Gym sessions have been great! I am still going 5 days a week, 2 hrs and a calorie burn of 1000. Massive number, so I do put in a lot of effort when I work out. 45 mins on my treadmill at 7 or 7.5km/hr which results in 600 calories burnt, then 400 calories is spent on other cardio machines. I really enjoy working out, seriously the 'high' you get afterwards is just amazing! Seriously.

10 KILOGRAMS IN 3 MONTHS CHALLENGE

goodbye, gourmet burger with jalapenos and chilli sauce
My mother is always telling me to set goals and have them written down somewhere so that you can reflect on them and see if you have achieved those goals. Well Mummy, I am FINALLY listening to you, this is the part where I rant about how I let myself go due to emotions (hello,round of depression), I say how heavy I am (92 g by the way) and blah blah blah blah...

On to the good bits, I have decided to lose 10 kg (I grew up using kilograms, I prefer them to stones and pounds, which just sound heavier), which is 24 pounds in 3 months. Why 3 months, because my birthday 23 Sept is exactly 3 months from now. I worked it out and I need to lose 2 pounds or 1 kilo a week. I know its almost impossible but hey 12 weeks is a long time.
Goodbye macaroons. I shall miss you :(

I am doing this for one reason only, well 19 reasons, 19 pairs of size 14 jeans that I can no longer fit. My main wardrobe does not fit me and I want it back, I miss my skinny jeans dammit!!
Goodbye, wait, who am I kidding? This is the tastiest drink known to man, I'm not giving it up!

 I will try to lose a kilo by working out 5 days a week, yes I have NO social life! And eating 1200-1600 calories a day, because 3500 calories is a pound and if I burn 700 calories every gym session (1 hr on treadmill and 45 mins on cross trainer) then that would be my 1 pound gone, and if I eat about 1200-1600 calories every day then my extra pound is telly bye-bye. So this is me, mum, writing my goals and checking on them weekly.
P.S. If anyone would like to join the challenge then PLEASE email me, misery loves company.

Goodbye dominos pizza, I shall crave your cheesy goodness

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!

Last year I cut my hair off because I wanted to go natural and I was soooo determined to grow my hair. Well its been almost a year and my hair is amazingly thick and has grown really well. It did go through an amazing growth spurt when I was taking my Biotin, using my Aphogee and Megatek. I always have my hair in weaves but my temples are thinning plus I miss playing and styling with my hair so desite it still being winter I have my hair out. This year I will try to care and understand my hair and get it to grow past to my shoulders.
