help- please help!
hello everyone,
well yet again I have neglected my blogging. I guess I was feeling so uninspired and also I was sick of failing all the time. I didnt want to keep talking about my journey-when my journey was just leading to more pounds/kilos on the scale.
The truth is everyone- I am really struggling with my weightloss journey. Before when I started my blog, i knew I had to lose weight...but i dont think I was ready for the journey. I do however believe that I am ready and willing to give this journey my best. and if this doesnt work, I am going to keep trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started a diet program called bodytrim. it is a high protein diet (not an only protein) but it focuses more on protein. I have decided that it is time that i OFFICIALLY break up with junk food. It turns out that junk food wasnt treating me very well, and turned me into the way that I am now. grrr!! I have had my time with bad foods- now it's time to start falling in love with healthy foods- the foods that will make me into the girl that I am suppose to be- HEALTHY, HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, FIT and SPECTACULAR.
if anyone is struggling with their journey please let it be known. we can support each other.
the most important thing to remember is that WE ARE NEVER ALONE!
stay tuned- I am back and ready to share everything with you all.
lots of love,

eye of the tiger
hi everyone
i hope you are well. i have been so slack lately so i do apologise.
i have started a new job and it has taken it's toll on my energy levels. i feel so tired when i get home that i literally fall asleep straight away.
i had a terrible incident happen at work which i wanted to share because i know there are other girls out there who would have been put down because of their weight.
there was this tiny gap between the patients bed and the chair that the patient was being lifted onto and the lady who was suppose to be showing me the ropes wanted me to come on to the other side. i told her that i couldn't because i could not squeeze through the gap and she said 'well you're no use.you will be better use if you lost weight'. i was so shocked at the time that after my shift i sat in my car and cried. it wasn't just because of this lady that i felt upset- it was a reminder that when you are a bigger girl that is how people define you. you are no longer the 'girl with the dark hair, green eyes and pretty smile' you are simply 'the big girl'. its how society defines us and to be honest- it's very crappy! we should not be defined by our size or the things that are 'wrong' with us, we should be defined by our beautiful qualities- the ones that make us unique.
now that i have had my moment of getting upset about it, i have decided that i am just going to use this experience as fuel for my fire. i may be bigger than i would like to be- but i am also a good/kind person- where as she definitley lacks in compassion and empathy. she make me thin- but my smile is so much more sexier. and besides- one day i am going to be at my goal- and i am going to look flipping fantastic!!!
Paul and I have found a diet program that we both like and are therefore giving it a go. it's called body trim. http://www.bodytrim.com.au/ today is the first day on it, and so far we have gone alright. i think it makes it alot easier when you can do it with someone and can get that extra support. i am so greatful for Paul doing this with me. even though he is a skinny minny!!!!
basically the diet is protein based and i know there is a lot of skeptics on protein diets but for me it seems to be working and making me feel fuller for longer. you start off on a 3 day complete carb ellimination (protein only) but then you get more variety after that. you have to eat 6 times a day, and do a half our walk plus 10 000 steps of incidental exercise. i am not too sure how i am going to go on this. but i am going to give it a go. it is simple and easy to follow and when it comes to planning and organising my days, it will be so much better :).
i am a bit of a fan of the 'rocky' movies- i am a dork i know. but anyway, there is this quote which really stuck with me and i want to share it with you. because we all need a bit of strength, courage and determination when battling weight loss.
'it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done'
lots of love to you all,

off the road again. dammmit!!
hi everyone,
how are we all? i hope you have a wonderful easter.
i am ashamed to say that i keep going off course, and it is soooo annoying. why can't i stick to the damn plan? i get so angry with myself and i know that food has this power over me and i wish i could be stronger.
i had a bit of work through the week and because of this i was too tired to plan (worst excuse ever i know), and i found that by not planning i through a massive spanner in the works. because i wasn't organised i had to eat on the run and although i ate healthy foods on the run, when i got home it was a binge war! so to save myself from myself i am going to do a big cook up on the weekend and get some emergency meals organised for the freezer so i have no excuse not to eat healthy. it is hard to balance work, diet and exercise but i just have to do it- or else my dreams won't come true.
i know that there are probably some people out there who have the same sort of struggles and maybe you also find it hard to have that willpower and determination. but please don't give up. no matter how many times you stuff up. we just have to keep trying. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER giving up.
so if we could all be a support network for each other that would be amazing.
lots of love to you all xoxoxoox

i can. i will.
hi everyone,
i hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves :)
Today has been really successful. i couldnt believe that i could do it...i went a whole day without chips or chocolate!!!! for some people they would be like 'so what? thats nothing' but to me that is a HUGE achievement. i will admit that i had moments during the day where i felt like having something naughty but i took a deep breath and reminded myself why i am on this journey. I also went for a 40 minute walk this morning and then another 1hr walk this evening (alot of it on soft sand so my butt is hurting majorly!). i cannot stress how much exercise can really help you. even if you cant stop eating- get out there and go for a big walk- it will free your mind and fill you with happy endorphines :)
so here is what i ate today :
breakfast:
1 small bowl of oats
1/4 cup of skim milk
1 cup of tea with a dash of skim milk
snack:
1/2 punnet of strawberries (with a couple of blueberries thrown in there) mixed with no fat nestle passionfruit yoghurt
lunch:
greek salad with 50g of chicken breast
snack:
apple
dinner:
tuesday is my treat night as i share a pizza with the lady i live with. but that means i am not allowed any other treats AT ALL for the rest of the week. and i am cutting my tuesday pizza to once a month. until i can stop having it altogether
because i survived the day without eating chips or chocolate i brought a little rock which has 'dream' on it. i am going to look at it every time i feel like cheating because i have a dream- to be healthy and happy again.
my plan for tomorrow is basically the same as it was for today,
lots of love,

i hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves :)

let the rainbow appear.
hi everyone,
how are you all? i hope you are all well.
i am so so so sorry that i have not been blogging. i have been very emotional lately and i guess i have gone off the rails alot. but as per usual i must pick myself up and try again. never give up. because i am struggling alot with the weightloss and getting myself motivated i have started seeing a counsellor whom is helping/supporting me on my journey. she has given me many strategies to assist me along the way-some which i think could benefit anyone else who may be struggling with their journey.
firstly, think of your ultimate goal- why do you want to lose the weight? for me, it is to have a baby .. there are many other benefits of losing weight like looking good, feeling amazing and being the healthiest i have ever been-...but my goal (and the one thing that i would wish for if a genie happened to grant me a wish) would be to have a baby. a healthy, beautiful baby.
secondly, planning is essential (especially if you are a procrastinator like me). firstly do a weekly meal plan so that you can plan your shopping list, but also plan each day in detail. i have a plan for tomorrow (because that is when i am starting) and i have made it idiot proof so to speak until i get into the swing of things.
how are you all? i hope you are all well.

DAILY PLAN FOR TUESDAY 19/04/2011
7AM- hour walk with Jenny
8AM- breakfast
1 oats sachet
½ cup of skim milk
8:30-11:30AM- free time (DANCING half an hr min., STUDY FOR INTERVIEW)
11:30- morning tea
Fruit berry salad
1 small low fat yoghurt
11:30-1PM- Free time (STUDY FOR INTERVIEW)
1PM- Lunch
Mixed salad with chicken breast
2PM-3PM- staff meeting (Stanhope)
3:30PM- afternoon tea
6 almonds
1 small apple
4PM- take Ziggy to doggy beach
5PM-prepare dinner
1 grilled steak (size of deck of cards)
Mixed veggies
¼ cup of brown rice
5:30PM- EAT DINNER
6-9PM- free time (STUDY FOR INTERVIEW)
Daily Reward: if follow meal plan for the day, buy ‘inspiration rock’ for ‘treasure chest’
the third thing is to give yourself a reward. start of by giving yourself a reward daily-every day that you stick to your meal plan will deserve a special reward. this can be anything from buttons, ribbons, beads etc- something that you can put in a special box (your treasure chest) and be a reminder that you have overcome your obsticles. and then also have a weekly reward and a reward when you meet certain goals. my daily reward will be an 'inspiration rock' which i generally find at 'hippy' stores. i love them because they are so simple but when you look at them or hold them in your hand- you feel inspired.
it is also a good idea to do up a poster with all your goals, so that you can put it up on your wall and be reminded of it whenever you wake up or walk past. i am in the process of finishing mine off but when it is done i will take a photo to share it with you.
thanks for reading my blog. i just wanted to share what i have been taught because i believe this can work and will help you if you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed with it all.
and remember- YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!! i promise.
so much love to you,

time to get serious.
hello everyone,
how are you all? long time no speak. i guess to put it bluntly- i have been a bit uninspired lately and i did not want to influence anyone else in my bad ways. but whenever we get knocked out- we just have to pick ourselves up again. and i will keep doing it until one day it just sticks with me.
i found out that i got a job today which is a big step in my recovery process. i will nursing the elderly- which isnt everyone's cup of tea but i am happy to do it :). they are cuties. i have decided that now i am a working girl it is time to get serious about my life and i honestly believe that since i will be busy- my eating habits will improve ALOT. i can identify that when i am at home all by myself- i eat myself into a frenzy. i will eat until my stomache is about to burst . i dont know if anyone else has gone through this- but it is a hard habit to break.
tomorrow is my first day so i have decided to make my lunch tonight so i am super organised. i will give my plan tomorrow :)
anyway girls keep up the great work!
love to you all xoxo

one step forward, three steps back, one step forward again...
I tell myself that today is a new day.
The day has now ended and nothing has changed.
Too focused on the big picture.
I wait in the dark for a miracle to appear.
Little did i know that the power lies within,
A warrior in disguise,
I am strong enough to fight.
Everyday is a battle,
But now i am prepared.
Stop waiting for tomorrow,
When today is already here.
I will put on my armour,
And be prepared for the battle ahead.
Never give up,
Never give in,
Be brave,
Be courageous,
This is your life. live it.

make exercise fun...
hi everyone,
how are we all? i hope you are well and fabulous :)
i just wanted to give some advice on exercise- the dreaded 'e' word. i know that exercise can be a bit of a chore, especially if you are doing something that you do not enjoy, but there are some things you can do to make it fun and more inspiring.
1) if going for a walk, walk to a destination where you stop and have a coffee (with skim milk and no sugar) or where you can sit down and read a book for a little while, and then walk back home.
2) go with friends. or start a walking group.
3) do any activity that you will enjoy like zumba or bike riding- as long as your heart rate is up, you are working the fat away.
4) make sure that whatever exercise you choose- make it fun. and if you feel like you are stuck in a routine- start doing something more challenging.
i know i have blogged about this before, but i just wanted to say it again because i am experiencing this all first hand. i hated the thought of exercise before but now i actualy enjoy it. it honestly makes you feel so much better about yourself.
so get cracking girls. you can do it.

sunday is my fun day
hi everyone,
how are you all? i hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
i took Ziggy to the beach this morning. he is getting alot more adventurous with the water- he now runs straight into it and starts splashing around. it is the sweetest thing ever. gotta love dogs and the funny things that go on in their little heads.
this week i am going to try the healthy eating plan again except this time i am going to eat a bit more-mainly because i am doing so much exercise and if you can imagine not putting fuel into your car- you are not going to end up getting very if you run it on empty. the same thing goes for your body. and that is something i learnt the hard way.i am also going to come up with a weekly plan (thanks for the help from Kristina) that can be achieved on a tight budget. i know that some people struggle with healthy eating because it can sometimes be a bit straining on the wallet- but i am going to come up with a solution that can assist with this problem. you don't have to be a millionaire to have a healthy lifestyle...just the right attitude. i am also going to put up all my measurements, weight etc so i can document my journey correctly.
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lots of love to you all,

men...???
hi everyone,
how are you today? i hope you are all well.
i recieved a pretty disturbing text today from a sibling of mine telling me what what her housemate said to her. long story short he basically made an inappropriate comment about her weight and i am absolutely furious. my sister is beautiful and is actually at a perfect weight and has worked extremely hard to lose 55kg (110lbs)and kept it off for 4 years may i add!!! when i read the message i just felt so angry because some people think it is ok to make comments about the way another person looks- and they have the right to make someone else feel awful about the way they look- this is ABSOLUTE BULLDUST! NO-ONE (and i dont care if it is the Queen, the president, prime minister, pope, a celebrity etc) HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY NASTY AND DEGRADING THINGS TO YOU! there is absolutely no excuse.
anyway, that is my little rant for the day.

went off the rails but getting back on the track...
hey everyone,
how are we all? i hope you are well.
i did not post last night because i had to rescue my boyfriend from his car breaking down. but all is good now.
so i found the 1200 calorie diet just too difficult as i said in the past so i am going to try something different. so i will definitely keep you posted on what i do :). this time i am going to be extremely successful!
although my diet has been a bit off- i have been exercising at least an hour a day and i have to admit that what they say about exercise being a medicine is actually really true. since exercising i feel so different. i sleep better, i smile alot more, but mainly i feel more confident. i have a walking buddy which i find actually really helps because she makes sure i actually do my exercise. but soon i will be able to get out there on my own :). so, if you have a day where you feel like you just cant take the time to go for a walk-think again- it might change the whole day for you :) i swear by exercise! it is better than medicine.
winter is coming up in australia and i can't help but think...'what if i was a normal size and could wear the clothes i want'... this winter if i could, i would let my inner rockchick come out. i am a bit wierd in my styles, but thats ok-. i dont follow trends i just go with what is 'catherineish'.
sending so much love to you all

winter is coming up in australia and i can't help but think...'what if i was a normal size and could wear the clothes i want'... this winter if i could, i would let my inner rockchick come out. i am a bit wierd in my styles, but thats ok-. i dont follow trends i just go with what is 'catherineish'.
