I'm losing it!!!

I have a waist! I have Zumba to thank for this. I cant get enough of it. I am doing it 4 times a week, and loving it. I mix in Body combat and the gym floor in between, but mainly Zumba!!! I think, the exercise is really helping, as I am not putting any weight on, but i am not taking any off either. So, another plan of attack is needed. My thinking is, I need to focus on the food side of things! NO KIDDING!!!!! 
I'm thinking, stop altogether!! hahah Would make things a whole lot easier. But alas no, food must be eaten. The right food though. I write this as I just finish a chocolate biscuit! Need to knock that on the head. I'm going back to the old drawing board, and figuring out a new eating plan, I'll let you know what i come up with!!!!  I have a waist!!!!!! :)

Fresh homemade Bolognaise sauce

1 dessert spoon of Vegetable oil
1 Garlic clove - crushed
1 onion - finely chopped
500g of mincemeat
1 tbsp tomato paste ( add more to taste )

250 ml beef stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried Italian seasoning

Ok, so I'm having good days and bad days! It's really hard when your set in a certain habit! I'm trying to keep to low fat products, but then fancy a mini mars bar!! Was at the gym last night doing Zumba and my brother in laws glance came up to me and said have I lost weight!! I danced like a gooden after that!! Haha!
I'm not going to measure myself till the end of the month. I really do t feel like I've lost anything yet, so don't want to be disappointed! Thinking I may do it around the 29-30th because my parentsfly back then and I can see how much I've actually put on!! Haha
I seriously want to see some more loss on my tummy and hips and thighs! I'm so impatient! I'm going to put a recipe for my bolagnaise sauce on here, love cooking things from scratch, you know what's in there. I'm out for a Chinese to offhand a friends birthday, so am being really good today. Drinking plenty of water. Been on the loo all day!

Oh my goodness!!! How many squats have I just done in the space of one hour!! My bum and legs were still hurting from Monday's body pump class! Well, I'm always glad I've done it after, but that class is a killer, so I'm defo going back! If it hurts, it's working! Means my butt and thighs should start getting smaller soon!! Today, I'm doing ok with eating so far. I've had my acai berry juice. Then an apple before my workout, a tuna sarnie for lunch, no butter. Then 5 crackers and jam to follow. I'm trying to eat a low fat diet, need to decrease some of this body fat! Gabe (my son) wants to make cinnamon buns now!!! Rubbish!! I love them!! Be strong... Be strong!!!! :)

Ok, so parents are over from Canada, andits all gone to pot!! Today I have just pigged out on chocolate!!! Where's my willpower?? Oh yeah, ate that too!! My goodness, I have no self control! I've still been going to the gym, believe me, my butt cheeks would testify to that!!! I upped the weight on the bar in Body pump, and now my bum won't let me sit down, run up stairs or clench!! Haha tomorrow is the day! Tomorrow me and willpower will meet, beco
E driends, do lunch ( a healthy lunch), and not leave each others side! Don't want all my hard work at the gym being covered in flab!!

Sunday 2 October

So after a long, lazy, food filled weekend! The serious exercise begins tomorrow! Seriously, it does!! I had a subway club on Friday, and decided to make it a meal deal! Well Grant as, so I did!! Haha. Well, I got a packet of crisps, I'm not really a crisp person but these took my fancy! For the life of me can't remember what they were, but will look tomorrow and let you know! They were yummy and low in calories! Oooo I could eat them now! Ok, healthy brain on, I am not going to deny myself treats, so have decided to one little treat a day! Might mix it up a little!! Choccie, those crisps, a pain au chocolat!! I daren't write what I've eaten yesterday and today, suffice to say, it was Edens Party yesterday and today was so hot..... Actually I've hardly eaten today!! It's been too hot! Had BBQ chicken and roast potatos with coleslaw and salad for dinner in the garden!! Love the sun!!
Ok, I have 2 hours of zumba and an hour of body combat booked for tomorrow, I hope I can do all three hours! I'll take a pic at the end when I'm gasping for breath on the floor and crawling out of the gym!!! :)
Till tomorrow! X

Thursday 29th Sept

Ok, so today has been ok, not brilliant, just ok. I'm just going to write down my food intake, and get it out there. Not proud of myself, but hey, i'll get there, I'm going shopping tomorrow, so will look through some reciepes designed to strip that fat right off my bones!!!

So the fuel of today was -
7:15am - Bowl of Shreddies
9:30am - 6 crackers and jam
11:30am - 7 crackers and jam
12:45pm - 2 Egg mayo sandwiches
2:20pm - chocolate crunch bar with Eden (my eldest daughter)
5:15pm - Bowl of Minestrone soup
8:35 - 4 Mini croissants and a Hot Chocolate

That's it, oh and I drank a litre of water too, which is half of what I should be drinking, but have spent a lot of time on the toilet today. It's a wonder I have been able to do any housework!!! It's actually really wired looking back at it, and seeing where my weak times are! I really recommend writing a day down, and revising it. Tomorrow, I will try to be prepared for those times!! Ahh rubbish Grant (my husband) has taken a day off work, which means lunch out!! Must be strong!! Knowing I have to report back, will help.
The only exercise I did today was walking the school run 4 times. I'm quite a brisk walker, but the gym would have been better!! I was lazy, because my gym partner is out of town!!!

Will add some reciepes tomorrow if i find any that look any where near appetizing and are healthy too!! Do those meals really exist??
I think those TV shows lie, when the host says "Mmmm, tastes amazing and healthy too"
My mission if i choose to accept it is to find that meal!! If McDonalds doesn't take my fancy first!!
Till tomorrow!! :)
