After Easter ass kicking thread - week 3
Ok.. week 3..
I'm gonna keep up with the walking each day and the excercise.
Start trying situps again as my tummy ache has gone away.
No snacking in the morning
This week I'll try no snacking in the evening - pudding after tea is ok so long as its mostly stuff like yoghurt - although tomorrow I'm allowed icecream cause I'm going to my cousins for tea.
Afternoon snacking needs to be cut down.
I'm also gonna try and do something a bit more energetic when Cole sleeps - not sure what but I'll maybe try doing some step ups on my stairs providing my knee stays reasonably ok - got a physio appointment next friday for the knee though!
I'm not doing too badly overall on the goals, except for this week when I've eaten almost 2 easter eggs!!! If I finish my last egg today though then at least its gone!!

if i dont eat any choc for a week mark will give me 20quid, if i dont eat any for a whole month he will give me 100quid. lol stupid cos its OUR money but its a silly incentive and i probably eat that much in choc anyway haha
oh and kia i took ur idea..kind of...similar, im not doing a mural but i have drawn a train with ryans name on in his room and im gonna paint it, cant wait so that will keep me out the kitchen..which is hard when downstairs is bloody open plan!
cole is gorg by the way!
well done katie, wish i could 30 lengths. thats a brill weight loss

Thanks Holly... I thought itw as time for a new pic
Keep up the no choc Holly!
Cole's looking like a proper lil boy now! Not that he looked like a girl b4...lol...he looks more grown up and a cutie pie! What does his top say?
Just had a tiramisu as no Easter eggs for me, just the boys and they know if i pinch!
Will def try to do dvd
Eat fruit n veg like this week
Walk when weather's ok
After a naughty easter, let's get back at it girls!

My MIL is coming to stay in 4 weeks so thats my motivation to lose a bit of weight (she's always been slim and I always feel like a complete frump next to her)
This week I've planned meals for each evening that are healthy - so I have to stick to that on not be tempted by a curry on thursday night.
I'm going to get out and walk everyday
I'm not going to scoff a whole egg while hubby is at work and what there is I will share with the whole family
I'm going to try and think more positively
I'm going to try and stay out of the kitchen which is difficult as like Holly our living space is all open plan.....
and I will eat the fruit in the fruit bowl rather than just giving it all to Ophelia!
Good luck everyone - you all seem to be doing so well - I haven't lost a pound since I was ill - infact I put 2lb back on - hey ho its a new week and this week I really am going to try to cut back on my food intake and keep to my targets.
Em x
Good news for me, lost another 3lbs in the last week, despite a naughty easter! So thats 6lbs in 2 weeks.
So as it's going so well for me, I'm planning on doing pretty much the same this week:
Try and walk for an hour at least 3 times a week
Do exercise DVD at least once
No chocs or crisps
3 meals a day
Alcohol only on Fri and Sat nights
I'm loving this thread, as believe it or not, it's getting me motivated to know we're all doing the same thing!!
I have eaten Fish and chips, chocolate, chocolate cake, crispy duck and pancakes, hot cross buns with lots of butter, big Sunday roast dinner ... hmmmm...the list could go on!!!
I had such good intentions but after missing out on all the food I miss for 6 months I just couldn't help myself!
Got back to Norway to loads more snow too which makes going out with the Pram harder, although I have brought Brendans wetsuit and baby float back with me so my oh and I can start taking him swimming (as long as my swimming costume fits lol) so that should help a bit!
Just glad I couldn't get any easter eggs in my luggage!
xx
I havent had any easter eggs i let oh eat them instead been for nice walks and done dvd twice! Can now get into my fave size 10 jeans which were a bit snug two weeks ago!!
Jack got his second lot of injections today Boo Hoo. Plus hes teething so grumpy anyway. I am in for a good day xxxx
You have been very good! My size 10 jeans are still a bit too snug so I am wearing maternity jeans with a belt lol!
Hope Jack is ok and your day goes better than expected, Brendan has his first jabs a week on Monday and I am not looking forward to it! xx

Bet Brendan's christening was a lovely day and that he looked proper cute!
Have you had any snow in Burnley? x
To walk for an hour a day
have my 5 a day
to do 40 sit ups a day
Only one treat a day eg pudding or chocolate egg.
Liz- I am glad you enjoyed your trip home and the christening went well
kia I love your new pic of Cole
This week I plan to walk for an hour a day, bin the chocolate thats left in the flat! Im going to try and not have a glass of wine every night but we are going down to ohs parents at the weekend and then over to Ireland next week and I just know Im going to fail lol
Liz was Brendan good on the plane? Did you just take his car seat with you? Oh has been offered a job in Dublin so we are off there house hunting next week but was wondering if you can take carseat on the plane with you.
Liz - we had quite a bit of snow which lasted on the moors but melted pretty quickly at home - boo!
Blackburn eh? You did do the sightseeing justice then!!! Highlight of the week no doubt lol.
Good luck Amy - hope it isn't too stressful
Liz - Pleased you had a brill time back here
x
We also took the baby bjorn and it worked really well, didn't need the pushchair although it would have been very easy to take it I think as you could load that onto the plane the same way.
We paid for an extra item of child equipment when we booked as I didn't want to risk them charging us when we arrived. Think it was only ??5 though.
I need to move the big bar of chocolate that is sitting next to me as it keeps calling my name. My hubby agreed last night that we both have to start eating more healthily so our plan for next week is to sit down on Saturday before we go and do the food shop and work out what healthy meals we are going to have each night and then only buy the stuff we need for that.
Have to see if it works!!
Hope you are having a better day Ema, don't blame you for scoffing the galaxy choc, I am the same if I have had a bad day. But you are right it doesn't make you feel better.
Still snowing here so no pram walking for me! xx
But the best things that have happened this week are; I have 6 stretch marks on my lower belly and these seem to be finally fading. And I can now get into my old jeans AND do up the botton (Massive muffin top and can't actually sit down but I still feel this is a huge step forward).

I have had a shockingly bad day! I went over to see my nan and ended up eating a cake! Then after dinner (healthy baked tattie and cottage cheese) I wolfed down a mars bar
Liz we have decided not to take a buggy or carseat with us, Ive ordered a sling and hired a car with a rear facing car seat in it and even better than that our hotel will supply the travel cot! I have no idea what I'll do if its the wrong car seat ect, I did say 4 times to the bloke I spoke to what we needed.
