Still Chunking

OK now to continue chunking down my goals, in order to lose the next 21.4 kilo or 670 grams per week there are things I must continue doing and there are things I must commence doing.


I am sorely lacking in imagination at the moment so I am going to copy and paste from Dory's blog and go through those steps, Zoe is pretty clued into what is needed.

Steps to take to lose 670 grams a week

1. Drink at least 2 L of water
2. Increase veggie/fruit intake
3. Walk more then 30 mins per day
4. Use the gym 3x a week for cardio
5. Do weights 2x per week
6. Cut down sugars and fats
7. Daily food diary to stay accountable
8. Park the car further from the shop door at the opposite end from the shop we need
9. find the hilly way to walk... if that's an option
10. play more games with the kids eg. tiggy, trampoline, bike riding, wii boxing

Increase my water intake, I don't drink enough water, I have a litre water bottle I keep beside my bed and make sure I drink a full one before bed, not only is it good fluid, I read somewhere that holding on for as long as possible helps the pelvic floor muscles, and I don't get up during the night for widdles.

I also need to increase my veggie intake, I eat salads, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, olives a lot, with the crazy prices of broccoli and cauliflower I buy them frozen and will cook up a bag with each meal, usually though by the time I have dished up everyone else's meal there isn't a lot left over for me.

My exercise is cruising along, I walk/run every morning for about 40 minutes, I cover a distance of about 3.5 klms. I would like to bump that up to an hour which would at a guess be about 5klms I was walking. So to do this I simply need to reassess which walking tracks I am taking. I live on 120acres of mostly bush with lots of walking tracks everywhere, so as of tomorrow I will take a left turn instead of a right and see where that takes me. Once I have accomplished the new path I will take another right where I would normally take a left.

Gym sessions: yeah I'm slack, there is a complete home gym set up on the back deck, and I use it probably once a week. So from now on I will use the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Sugar and fats, I don't eat sugar so that's one thing I don't have to worry about hehe. As for the fats, I am happy with how that is going.

Daily food diary, Yep I keep one, my issue is not over eating more so not consuming enough calories, so I keep track of what I have eaten mainly to stress myself out because I am usually about 600 cals down on my daily intake. I use the Calorie King food diary but find it a pain in the ass accessing it on my phone so I have an iphone app called shape up that works in KJs which I use most of the time. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing because I am not only 600 cals down but way over 1000kjs which makes it look worse.


Parking further away from the shop doors, Check! I usually park over the far side to get away from all the idiots that can't park and keep hitting my car, I have a newish car now and don't need people banging their doors open on it hence parking way over yonder.


Walk more hills, the hill I start up after dropping my daughter at the school bus in the morning has a 45deg incline and it's all hills from there in

Play more games with the kids, we walked down to one of the water holes on the property today for a swim, it was nice, I do need to spend more time mucking around with them, I would like a wii, I think that would be fun, that might become one of my goals I think, " buy a wii' Anyway getting the look...signing off for now
