Today I'm 122.6 and I am very happy with that.
I know I haven't posted in the last few days, but since I am done with the Beck Diet Solution I don't think I need to post every day anymore. I am happy with my 1 lbs gain because I had the last 2 days off for Valentines and did not exercise or watch my food intake. Last time this happened I gained like 3 lbs. Sooooo WOOOOHOOOO.
I had non diet Soda, Bagels, Takoyaki, Popcorn, Chicken, Chocolate everything and my gain is tiny. So from today back to good food and from tomorrow back to the gym. Back on track, lets get these last 22.6 lbs off and get on with the rest of my life. The next foreseeable binge is on the 13 March for my birthday and I would hope to be at least 114 lbs by then... but we'll see, my losses are never really this predictable.
I had a wonderful valentines with an amazing boyfriend, we had a really nice breakfast, had a fish pedicure, ate nice food and went to see the Descendants. The movie was a little disappointing for me, and I don't know if it was because everyone else said it was so amazing maybe I was expecting more. Also it was a little sad for Valentines day.
Back on track with food and exercise. I cannot wait to lost more of the weight, I can already see it in my body. I can feel getting closer to my desired shape and it feels nice. Just this week I put on some jeans that I haven't been able to wear in a long time :) I have loads of clothes that I would love to wear again so here I come.
I have come up with some NSV's (Non Scale Victories) that I would like to achieve, they are as follows:
- My thighs not to chave when I walk.
- Be able to touch my toes without bending my legs
- Fit into all the cloths in my closet (within reason)
- My belly not to jiggle when I walk
- Run/Jog 5 km without stopping

Day 43
121.6 still :)
I am still happy about this but would really like a little drop tomorrow. I am really looking forward to being in the teens. I still have cystitus bit its a little better today. I again couldn't fully bear the gym again today, so I did some walking on the incline treadmill. Speed 3.2 and incline 21% for 45 mins, I have to say it was quite a workout. Phew. Other than that I took it easy, did some chores around the house and took a long warm bath.
Food was a bit here and there, had a super late breakfast and then just grazing throughout the day. That's something Im also going to slowly get the hang of.
Ah well, lets see what tomorrow brings.

Day 42 Practice, Practice, Practice.
I'm still 121.6
I'm not well this Saturday, I have something called cyctitus and its not pleasant. I hope that it will pass soon. So exercise today was dismal, I just tried to get as much walking in as possible. I went to a protest today against ACTA which I feel very strongly about. How dare they dictate to us what we can or cannot see, but more than that I fee that if ACTA, SOPA and PIPA passes that the Internet will never be the same again. The creativity and vitality will be sucked from it and it will be rendered to a television 2.0. I think that will be a sad day.
I was disappointed at the protest, not in numbers, but its content. I was embarrassed to have attended for there were many things said that I fully did not agree with such as the word Fascist being chanted often and the police force (whom was very nice at the protest) being verbally abused. These are not things I agree with and I did not come to protest about and I felt made the protest seem much more like a circus and I feel will not be taken seriously.
The Beck Diet Solution
Practice Practice Practice
So its the last day, and that means I'm 42 days into my diet without a relapse, I have to say that I am very proud of myself up until now. Keep it up! Well, this chapter actually doesn't have much in it. It basically says keep doing what you have been doing. If you slip up, fix the issue and re read parts of the book. That's it, over.
The Beck Diet Solution Review
I have to say I enjoyed the book, very structured and I like to stick to a plan like this. It takeled every angle that I can think of with regards to weight loss and really makes you think in depth of what you are really doing and if you can continue achieving it.
I am not sure if I am in the target demographic of the book, maybe its better suited to some one whom has more weight to lose. I did feel that some of the tasks were unnecessary. However even if only one tasks has helped m, out of the 42, then I think it was a good purchase. I am glad I bought the book and followed the plan. I would recommend it to others, but I do think it will work for a certain kind of person rather than everyone.

Day 41 Make a New To-Do List
I'm 121.6 :)
All is going well this Friday, finally the end of the week. I haven't lost anymore weight but that's ok, Ive had a good loss this week already. I'm glad its the weekend and I get a bit of a break. I have Monday and tuesady off work because of valentines. I'm going to spend it with my boyfriend who is awesome.
I went to the gym this morning and did Spin class as well as body sculpt. I again am proud that I went but I have to start giving a bit more into my workouts and really pushing myself. Just going to the workouts really isn't good enough any more. Also I'm going to have to learn how to refuse cake. At least I know how to limit it to a very Small amount, but we'll see.
The Beck Diet Solution
Make a New To-Do List.
Oh goody another list!! I love making lists :) ! Well, this is the second last day of the book and its just trying to prepare you for the rest of your life. I will make a list of daily things to remember to do and a list of things that have to be completed daily - weekly and then another spontaneous list.
Daily List:
Be mindful of what I am eating
If I over eat don't think that Ive blown it and compensate with exercise
Try and eat as much 'Healthy' food as possible
Monitor My food
Weekly
Do fun exercise frequently
Weigh daily is possible
Discuss my weight with my weight coach
Spontaneously
Take measurements
If weight creeps back on review the maintenance plan and adjust accordingly.

Day 40 Make a New To Do List
I'm 122.6 lbs (down 0.2 :))
Today is a carb-day so it began with the gym followed by a bowl of porridge with blueberries. The other carbs I've eaten are 2 baby potatoes for lunch with Mince quorn, low fat sour cream and kidney beans YUMMY. I loved it, but I still always feel guilty after.
Otherwise I'm good, legs are a little sore but not like last week. Ill have no probs with spinning in the morning. I would like a loss before Sunday to add to my weekly total but we'll see. I'm looking forward to valentines next week, I've already decided to cheat a little. Having pancakes for breakfast and going out for dinner. Going to try and keep the carbs to a minimum.
The Beck Diet Solution
Make a New To Do List
This has got my attention, I am forever making to do lists...and its definitely about time I get back on track and stop my little cheats and such. Today is about making a list of all the things that I would like to accomplish during and after the time that I lost my weight.
- Take Pole Dancing Lessons
- Buy some sexy Lingerie
- Go to America
- Actually do some photography
Well, there are some things I would like to do. The book then asks you to try and get started on one of the steps as soon as possible. Why wait until the diet is done? So a mate is coming over tomorrow to discuss our America plans, I am also heading to the darkroom to process some film and lastly I have purchased a voucher for some pole dancing classes that I will put to use soon :).

Day 39 Keep Up With Exercise
I'm 122.8 :D
Even though I have Chicken Curry. I think the key is having a small dinner and not lots of food before bed time. So that's a new rule I'm implementing. I went to the gym and did an intense Spinning class and then onto Body Sculpt. Woo I was full of energy this morning. And I'm happy to see that little loss.
I am now going to stick to my diet plan, no more little excuses. I have had ice cream, chicken curry, cake in the last days and I need to get my discipline back. I need to learn to control myself so from today I'm being good.
again. BRING ON THE TEENS :)
Beck Diet Solution
Keep Up With Exercise
So far so good. I have been going to the gym for a solid 4 and a half weeks now with only one day off :) I am sooo proud of that.
I don't like exercise, I never did and still don't. I don't think I'm one of those people who never do exercise, then do it for while and love it. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I love sitting on my couch with my duvet and a book or laptop. I work a desk job. I love to sleep. But you never know, maybe I'll start to love it as time passes. Regardless of all that I have gone everyday and I don't plan on stopping until I have at least reached my goal.
I think for maintenance by battle plan will be different. It wont be all about exercise for weight loss. Right now I'm doing all and any classes to lose weight but I would love to find out what I really love to do, what type of exercise will I enjoy on a regular basis. I think doing all these classes is good preparation for that.

Day 38 Deal with Plateau
I'm 124 lbs :)
I was kind of worried as I cheated a little last night with some ice cream. My boyfriend and I went for a long walk and then I got us some ice cream. I went for the dark chocolate. YUMMY. I worked hard not to gain any weight and drank lots of water. I have to get back on track and step it up. I want a loss this week!
Well we'll see. I was good. Went to the gym... ate a little chicken Curry with potato which was not allowed, so instead I skipped my snack and had a small dinner.
The Beck Diet Solution
Deal with Plateau
Oh gosh, I need help with this. I have dieted numerous times before and failed every time when a plateau came about. I have such little will power. Plateaus happen all the time, due to water retention, lack of exercise, over eating, under eating, time of month and many many more.
The book does not really tell you how to combat them but more to expect them and realise that you cannot avoid them. They are a normal part of dieting. Which they are and I'm probably a little more pro active with regards to them. If I'm not losing I usually know why, I know its because I'm slowly going off my food plan, have too many little cheats or not going to the gym.
If I hit a plateau and I know that I have been doing everything right I would probably wait for a few days to a week and if there is still not change I would shake up my food and exercise plan. My body most likely would need some change and is getting complacent so I would increase/change exercise and eat different foods.
Weight loss slowing down is a natural thing, as I get closer to my goal I think it will be harder and harder to shed the excess weight.
