It doesn't look like i will be alone at all today so probably won't be able to exercise! One good thing atleast is that i'm getting my hair done - only cheap by the woman who comes to the house to do my mum's colour. This means i'll get a few highlights (whatever is left in the bowl when my mum is done!) And i'm not going to have the hairstyle i wanted because i know she will cut oo much off and i'll cry so i'm just getting a trim which will make my hair healthier/stronger and then i should hopefully be more comfortable if i wanted to wear it down. It's new year's eve so atleast my hair have to be washed to i'll straighten it and paint my nails so when i can't take any more of being at home i will be sort of ready to escape.
It's just one more thing that makes me miserable that i don't have more money. I haven't even been to the dentist for 7 years! This isn't as bad as it sounds because i have really good teeth and i make sure i look after them. I have a friend who gets her hair done every other month and she always looks like she's just stepped out of a salon. I never wear my hair down so i am going to endeavour to try keep it nice and in the new year after my exams and my detox i am going full steam ahead with trying to find a little job to fit around uni work. Wish me luck -i don't think anyone is hiring at the moment :(

Wii Shape 1
Just 20 minutes later...
What i was expecting was for the camera to make some kind of animated(wishful thinking) image of your body shape and cruelly recommend areas for improvement. I wanted this specifically because for some reason all the weight i lose comes off my top half only. This is to the extent that even when i'm over my normal weight you can see my rib cage but i can still barely fit into a size 12 pair of jeans! I worry that i would turn into a top half skeleton before anything dropped off my thighs...
Anyway what happened was this - it scanned an image; you had to line your body up with the silhouette on screen forwards and from the side then click on an area i think one out of 5 thatyou would like to work on. I dont like the idea of only working on one thing at a time - although i thought i did - don't worry i am confusing myself too. I am assuming tht in a month or so they will ask me to scan in my body againstthe silhouette and see if there is any change. You had to do a short fitness test which was calculated on accuracy of completion of the moves e.g. squats, jumping jacks etc and i got 75% overall which is a b+ I suppose grades give you something to aim for each time.
The camera wasn't actually as scary as i first thought and you really can't see your face because your whole body needs to fit in the picture and i found it very helpful seeing the lines of my body in relation to the animated coach so i 100% agree that it helps with the accuracy of the moves which is so important because if you're not doing them right you can do little good or even harm yourself without realising. I don't know when i will have time to do a proper workout as it's New Year's Eve tomorrow so everyone will be up late and in a few days i'm going away but when i have a chance i will go into more detail on the actual workouts.
Just for a laugh - imagine me in pink underwear looking like a fool - you had to wear something that would stand out against the background and all my clothes are black and i wanted the camera image reading to be as accurate as possible so i didn't want to wear anything baggy. The camera was slightly slimming i think - very clever on their part but i'm not silly i know what my flab looks like cheeky game maker people i'm onto you!
I have no plans for tomorrow :( but i can't wait to get this awful year over and done with that's for sure! I'm tempted to see if there are any late cinema showings on...

Dec 30th meals
Breakfast
Chocolate cake - terrible I know but I promised I would be honest on here!
Lunch
Avocado and tomato sandwich
Dinner
Pasta - 75g seems small in the pan but fine in the bowl
Tomato sauce with garlic, onions, chopped olives and handful of spinach
350 cals approx
Snacks
3 dried apricots
Apple
2 ginger biscuits
Could have been better and I only had maybe 3 glasses of water so I'm going to make sure I have plenty of water before I go to bed.
Tomorrow should be better as there is lots more food in the fridge - i'm viewing this as more options not greater quantity!
I'm attempting to write this on my blackberry so forgive me if it's a mess as I can't really see what I'm writing!

Starting today i will try to write up meal plans or rather what i have eaten more than what i plan to eat. Chances are this will be more than i plan to eat in the near future as i am studying for exams at the moment so i really need to keep energised and not miss out on anything for the sake of weight loss. I am pleased that i can see that my exams are more important than losing weight :)
After my exams i intend to start the lemonade master cleanse. I have been reading up on it - properly not just through the internet and feel that it would really benefit me. I am doing it mostly to detox. I suffer with acne and dry skin and terrible folliculitis which nothing seems to shift- another reason i like my body well covered. I also have terrible problems with my back which i never thought it would help but according to the book i am reading the guy who wrote it had terrible sciatica and now feels no pain from it! So i am pretty optimistic. Even if it turns out to be a major exaggeration or whatever i feel i would like to detox anyway as i eat a lot of carbs. White bread is probably one of the only bad things in my diet as i'm vegan already but i do eat a lot of it and probably more sugar than i ought to. I am not doing it primarily for weight loss as i do expect an weigh lost to return (it's usually only water weight you lose) but i think that any initial drop would help to spur me on.
I would really like to know if anyone has had good/bad experiences with the master cleanse detox. I have tried a number of times to start it but always only lasted a day or two or somehow convinced myself that it's fine if i drink the mixture but have a few slices of toast! I know this is ridiculous and reading the book has helped me to fully understand how and why the process works. I will let you know the author before i start the detox as i'm not sure where it is. I chose not to buy the original by Stanley Burroughs as i felt the newer one would have more information about how to cope with modern life while on the cleanse and have useful case studies to learn from.

Pop that booty! (Oh my!)
Running through the Pussycat dolls dvd and so far i've gone from thinking 'shit this is ridiculous' to 'i can see why this really works'
At the moment it's sounding like a pretty bizarre form of that game BOP IT with 'rock it' 'pull it' 'slap it' 'pop it' which would be so frightening if i couldn't literally see these girls' muscles working. They are so toned that every move they make you can see that it really works their bodies. Oh my god they're doing - bite, step, push, slap right now haha
One thing i must say is that it's not at all confusing because every single step is repeated and repeated until it really does seem pretty simple and every part is broken down. It is repeating all these moves over and over that is the real work out rather than the dance they put together at the end of each section. The outfits are totally ridiculous but i see how dressing like this (in the comfort and privacy of your own home) can make you feel empowered and sexy. I would possibly even consider it if i lived alone - boots shorts and sports bra - not corset and feather boa!
Whatever you think of the pussycat dolls you cannot deny that Robin Antin has what would be an incredible body for a 20 year old never mind her real age (48 according to imdb). I would like to know what her own daily workout and diet is if anyone knows.
This video is really making me realise the importance of working the arms! I never knew arms could look so hot!

Work it!
How do you feel about workout videos?
I bought a Hollywood body workout video and played it for about 5 minutes and gave up because i totally hated the people an their oily orange bodies. I felt like they weren't really giving me what i wanted and the silly things they said drove me absolutely nuts.
I also have a yogalates video which i bought mainly as an introduction in the hope that i would feel more confident to go to a yoga class. It's by a woman called Louise Solomon from Byron Bay in Australia. I would recommend watching it through once before starting it. One of the best hings about this is that her daughter also takes part in the video and you can follow her if you are less flexible - i found that i could sometimes do better than what she was doing and follow the main woman which made me feel really great as i never would have thought this possible. A great way to start and i feel like you can really progress with this workout especially if you're shy like me.
If you're interested it's available really cheap at the moment http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yogalates-For-Weight-Loss-DVD/dp/B000H7ZZEM
Three exercise videos just arrived in the mail and as i sit here i am not really sure why i've one this. However my choices may amuse you.
First is - wait for it- Pussycat dolls workout by Robin Antin. Now let's be honest - do you want to look like a pussycat doll? Umm hell yeah! Don't get me wrong you won't catch me swinging around poles or slapping my near bear arse any time soon but they do have the most incredible bodies. They are not stick thin, they are strong and stunning. God knows they work for it though so who knows what's in store for me... Still i'm looking for a lifestyle overhaul not just a change of shape. I'll let you know how it works out.
The second is the new video from Tracy Anderson. As far as i am aware she has made two videos; the first being a dance workout which i thought i didn't need as i plan to do a lot of cardio in the gym and i assume the pcd dvd will be quite dance based(i feel so silly even thinking about danicng around my living room) For those of you who have never heard of her; Tracy Anderson is the personal trainer to Gwyneth Paltrow and Shakira - both women who i think have a good attitude towards their health and body so i'm looking forward to that although i think it will be a huge challenge.
The third is a dvd my Mum asked me to order for her which i may take a look at if she ever opens it. It's the Hannah Waterman Body Blitz. The one thing i really like about this is that she went to an expert in sports science to help her lose weight and change her lifestyle rather than some quick fix celebrity 'doctor' although i'm not sure about that statement on the cover about a daily workout time of just ten minutes. I am sure she didn't lose 3stone in 5 months by doing 10 solitary minutes a day! Still i am interested in learning about interval training. I know a lot of boxers do this so i'm game for it. Of course i'll keep it in the wrapping to see if my mum ever opens it haha.
What fitness dvds have you tried? What do you love/hate about them? It always amuses me to see the ridiculous things celebrities promote.

The moments before you step on the scale and the second before the number stops all sorts of silliness runs through your head especially if you've avoided the scale for a while - usually along the lines 'ok if it's less than this i will be so so happy/surprised' In my head just now i was thinking how last time it went up two pounds and it knocked me for six as i really hadn't seen that coming. I knew i wasn't being strict enough but never dreamed i would actually put on weight from it. I went away for the summer and put on a whole stone! We just never really did anything and wherever we went we would drive there i didn't realised how much exercise i did every day just walking around London!
Let's cut a long and pointless story short - the last time i weighed myself i was 9st 6lbs (i'm not sure when exactly but more than a week ago) and today i was 9st 3lbs of course this is only 2lbs off the weight i was before summer it still feels as though i am steadily going in the right direction. I have lost a total of 12lbs since the beginning of October.
I'm watching 'running in heels' to try to inspire my inner fashionista haha. I have come to realise that because i am so unhappy with many different things i cover my entire body - i wear baggy jeans(well they used to be baggy) long sleeved tops and long cardigans, beanie hats and big scarves - covering me head to toe. This means i throw clothes on and hide my hair entirely so end up putting on mascara and running out the house. Because i don't talk to anyone at university i feel like no one can see me (weird i know) I own really nice clothes but i can't fit into any of them so maybe when i have lost the weight i will feel able to wear nicer things and not hide myself away. I went out last week (shock horror) and a few guys were even chatting to me - i even had a conversation with one of them and it made me feel pretty good. I felt pretty shit at first because you get it into your head that it takes so much effort on your part before someone Will look twice at you. I had a full face of make up and straightened hair etc (i still wore a hoody in a club) but i realised that it's probably the absence of my moody face and attitude that made all the difference. I have decided that one of my resolutions next year will be to just make a little effort - i felt so much better being out and not feeling 100% hideous.
So here is a tip - always dress like you wouldn't be mortified if you bumped into your ex or the old school bully or prospective employer! You will feel much better if you take the time to straighten your hair, shave your legs and moisturise. Now when you achieve that perfect body you'll already have all the finishing touches sorted
Don't display yourself in a way that you are embarrassed to be seen!

29 Dec 2009
So it's lunch time and so far i've eaten two biscuits. This is both too much and too little. Exactly what it is, is a waste of my time and calories. My mother is the first to point out that i've put on weight but she bought me a huge box of biscuits - you know the onles from Ikea? I would go check how much in weight but i'll just eat more biscuits. Sometimes i think she does shit like this to make herself feel better because she's been on a diet since the day i was born (eating half a buguette with various soft cheeses when you get in from work is going to kill and diet plan)
What i need to eat is a meal. Food to nourish my body! I'm not expecting much from the fridge i hate living with so many people and having someone else do the shopping. I have no control over anything. Every day i dream about what it would be like to have my own place, my own space - own fridge, couch, sink, shower - a place where i can relax, i'm always so on edge here, everything is a mess, i have so many books that i cant get rid of, the printer is in my room, so much stuff in my tiny room. A few weeks ago i bought some cushions for my apartment, to go on my light grey couch (neither of which exist)
I'm sick of falling over stuff all the time, of wishing i could be somewhere else. I can't study today because my mum is here and keeps driving me mad and letting the dog out, making him bark and now i gotta go find a way to get him back in the living room because i'm expecting a delivery. My neck is killing and i barely slept but i daren't get back in bed cos she'll throw a fit. You'd think form this post that i was 14 years old and pissed off with puberty but i'm 24. Yeah i can't believe it either - this is what happens when you forget to live your life.

START TODAY
This is where i change everything. I don't need it to hit New Year's Eve to realise how much pain i have endured these past twelve months and i don't intent to wait until January first to make things change. I'm not expecting miracles but for someone who has achieved next to nothing in the past 6 years anything at all can be considered progress. So let's START TODAY
I do not intend to tell anyone about this blog it's just my space for my plans an my thoughts. I'd like to think that maybe someone will read it but either way i feel like it might help.
So just a few things i intend to do this year:
1. Pass my January exams
2. Take/pass driving theory test
3. Get a part-time job
4. Pass driving test
5. Save for a car
6. Go on a holiday
7. Go out socially atleast once a month - must wear heels
8. Reach goal weight
9. Join uni gym
10. Take yoga class at uni
11. Wear make up every day
12. Detox after exams
13. Get a haircut
14. Go to see a movie once a month
15. Clean out room
16. Sell stuff on ebay
17. Organise drawers and wardrobe
18. Talk to people
19. Make a plan to leave the house for NYE
20. Start to dress better
While these things may seem basic and pretty childish even, they are things i am incapable of doing. I don't speak to another soul at university and while i know that yoga would benefit me greatly i am far too shy to go to a class. When i buy my gym membership i can take any available classes so hopefully that will push me to do so. Perhaps when i have lost a little weight i will feel more comfortable going but i am scared i will stand out as i am shockingly unflexible; i can't touch my toes - not by a longshot. I have bought a yogalates dvd so i'm hoping i can use that to learn a little and hopefully then settle into the class easier. Only problem is my mum has two weeks off work so i am never alone in the house so unless i do it late at night it will have to wait a while. Next week i'm going to stay with my grandparents so if the weather is ok i am going to try to run daily as i can't do that here.
It will be a few weeks until i can establish any kind of realistic routine but as long as i do something atleast then i am happy. Just happy to be doing something.
Next time i'll try, for the first time in my life
It won't pass me by
Procrastinate, it can wait, i put it off, START TODAY!

While these things may seem basic and pretty childish even, they are things i am incapable of doing. I don't speak to another soul at university and while i know that yoga would benefit me greatly i am far too shy to go to a class. When i buy my gym membership i can take any available classes so hopefully that will push me to do so. Perhaps when i have lost a little weight i will feel more comfortable going but i am scared i will stand out as i am shockingly unflexible; i can't touch my toes - not by a longshot. I have bought a yogalates dvd so i'm hoping i can use that to learn a little and hopefully then settle into the class easier. Only problem is my mum has two weeks off work so i am never alone in the house so unless i do it late at night it will have to wait a while. Next week i'm going to stay with my grandparents so if the weather is ok i am going to try to run daily as i can't do that here.
It will be a few weeks until i can establish any kind of realistic routine but as long as i do something atleast then i am happy. Just happy to be doing something.
Next time i'll try, for the first time in my life
It won't pass me by
Procrastinate, it can wait, i put it off, START TODAY!
