Rachaels Phase 2 Mid-Point Challenge

Well I am reporting that I am chuffed that I have done 2 resistance workouts already for phase 2 and my goal was to do 3. Serious DOMS happening but all good. Tonight I did 40 mins on the tready with about a 1 min sprint (lungs unable to catch up and the treadmills are ancient at my gym) and 30min resistance workout followed by an hour of pilates. Crap that was 2hrs 20mins at the gym which is the longest I have ever been in a gym for doing work. Also managed a walk this morning taking kids to school.

Eating is still under progress, but am adding another goal to my list and that is

• be prepared for outings at ALL times as this saves skipping meals I need to eat
  

Lost Bone...

Lost a bone, drank wine when it wasn't on plan. I am determined to find it again and more!

Frankie Ran!

Whoooo hoo! I ran on my treadmill.

I have issues, and I don't run. I ran faster than EVER. This fits perfectly into my amended workout plan (which I've changed to work better with rehab restrictions and free meals on the weekend). I will be able to do interval training again! Been steering away from it cos I get ankle/hip pain and cos I'm doing low carb but if I have a nice, carbed up free meal on the weekend, I can start doing intervals. Yay! I blogged about it if you want to long version LOL! Nope...doesn't take much to get me excited these days.

NEW - Skinny Bones Tally Board

As requested, I have set up a Skinny Bones Tally Spreadsheet in the side column. You should have received an invitation to edit this spreadsheet by email (except for those of you that I don't have an email for).

Edit the live spreadsheet in Google and the changes will show up here. It only refreshes every 5 minutes so you might not see your entry immediately. Let me know if you can't get in. You need to follow the link in the email (save it somewhere). Thanks for the great idea - it will make Phase One check in so much simpler now!

I'm doing well

I am gonna take a bone for today's breakfast, but I think I have earned at least one from having my Joe's Goals posted to the blog. I completed a triathlon so I took an extra yummy breakfast, not what I define as traditional clean eating.

I'm also refraining from weighing except twice a month, so I have to add that to my 100 day goals. But all in all, it has been a great time so far.

Thanks for adding me to this challenge!!

CathyC-my favorite enemy

Hi Team, last night at a bbq party I had awesome eats and did not go overboard, and then...the dessert table was full of chocolate cakes and pastries...I was in a panic and almost tried one bite just to see but I heard my voice tell me "no, you have made a commitment" and so I had hazelnut raisin bread with cheese, 2 dates, mixed nuts and cherries instead! There was a sense of anxiety with everyone eating cake and not me but it slowly subsided-now I am soooooo grateful I didn't give in to sugar-it's still my favorite enemy. I know I will eventually have some but not yet I don't want to eat "chocolate" to conform, I will eat it when "I need it"-it's going to be a privledge to eat it! Sorry for the long post!

Suggestion - Tracking Bones

We can all post here, does this meen we have access to layout etc?
If so, I have a suggestion.

We add a side bar 'list' which we can list out names and number of bones left?

We can each log in, access the side bar list named Skinny Bones Tally, then be responsible for changing our own tally and therefore not causing extra work for Katie who has lots on anyway.

How Do I Track My Skinny Bones?

CathyC has asked how do you know if you get Bonus Bones and how do you track your total. Find the answers here Ask Katie - 100 Day Challenge - Tracking Bones?

Roll Call Me Hearties

It's roll call time Pirates of Possibility. Check the list to make sure I've got you down as an official Skinny Bones 100 Day Challenge Foundation Member (there are 31 of us now!)

CathyC- Check in!

Hello team,

I am happy to post my achievements these past 5 days:
1-no binge or sugar!
2-eating clean 90% (had white bread Thurdsday night)
3-exercised 4 times this week
4-HRT following doctors orders w/ progesterone
5-green drink smoothie
6-looked at old pics to envision a "skinny" image of myself

So I have 4 more days to complete in Phase 1 ...I have a party this evening and I am bringing dessert I know I won't have any. My strategy is to eat chicken and veg before I get there so I won't be famished and can enjoy a moderate plate of veggie and green salads and 1 carb. Wish me luck girlies!

squeezing it in

Hi guys,

I'm down a blog post so I am going to remedy that tomorrow.

One thing I've discovered along my journey is an intolerance to wheat. I had some Naan bread last night and my stomach has been in knots ever since.

I think I need a bonus bone for a) teaching RPM and caning it b) going to work for 8 hours after that c) packing all my meals and most importantly d) having a couple of rice cakes with peanut butter as soon as I got home so that I didn't go on an "I'm tired hunger binge" :)

One week up tomorrow

Well, got throught the first week, lost 1.9kg, but had my cheat today so won't be weighing in in Sunday. Just grazed on some yummy, but mostly good actually, finger food at an enagement party, and had my champagne. I do not expect that sort of a loss again. But I'll take it if it happens.

I've had a busy week so I'm still workingout my goals. That will be done soon.

Wish me luck!!

Weekly weigh in

Well my weigh ins are Saturdays so have done the deed and have a little to report. Because the beginning of my second week turned out shit and I jumped on the social family shit eating wagon whilst interstate I found it a little difficult getting back on the "good eating" wagon when I got home. But I managed to recoup myself with some dignity and started back properly yesterday. So my weigh in is from last Saturdays quick jump on the scales and the measurements are from my first initial measure (2 weeks ago).

Weight - up by 0.75
1cm loss on chest & waist
0.5cm loss on left arm, hips, biggest part of bum, both thighs, left calf.

So I am not sure, I think my back is out and I am using my left side more than my right. Any ideas anyone.
