It's Been a Week!
And I haven't posted (oops)
Work is starting to get busy since we have seen glimpses of sunlight coming through here in Melbourne. Yay!
Touch wood it lasts! The weather bureau says it's going to be a hot Spring so that would be good.
It's funny you know - when I was really fat I hated the heat and loved winter. Now I've dropped a bit I hate winter cause it's too cold and I dunno about summer but I'm sure I'm not going to be too impressed with the heat. Lets keep fingers crossed I like at least 6 months of the year.
Not much has happened this week - a couple of sessions with the physio and my legs are getting much better although still not 100% This week I will be back at the gym giving it a go again. Although running is off the menu for awhile because the impact is a killer. Infact even walking is excritiating at times on my hip flexors. The physio has entertained the idea their could be a joint issue (running at 90kg is apparently not a great idea for joints) But we need to work through the muscular issues first and there are lots of them. Let me inform those of you that have never had physio - it is a painful but valuable experience.
My weight has been up and down but basically stable thanks to good eating in the interim. But I'm hoping for a good loss this week.
I'm off to get my hair cut - I might get some photos later (depends on how different it ends up cause I give the hairdresser free rein because she's brilliant) I liked the last cut though so it may be the same. Who knows.
I hope you all have a brilliant week.
GO HARD!

Focussing on Me!
Sounds a bit selfish huh but at some stage we have to do what is best for us and atm that's focussing on me for me. HOWEVER. I have been on every forum I normally visit and in everyones blog (I commented on most but not all)
I just haven't blogged. Because I'm not interesting right now :p
My food has been good (except for one crumpet with honey which can you believe is over 200calories!) But my legs are still bad. My beautiful boy has sent me some cash and I am booked into see a physio on Monday so I can get back to working out at the gym. I am dying to run (as hopeless at it as I am) It's unbelieveable. Never did I think I would WANT to run.
There was a time not too long ago the injury would have been a wonderful excuse. For the very first time in my life I actually want to exercise BUT not only that. For the first time in my weightloss battle I have managed to make good food choices even though I'm not attending the gym!
Three Big Cheers!
Am taking Dad to the footy on Sunday. He hasn't been in the telstra dome before and always talks about it. And the last time I recall him (or me) going to the footy I was 13 or so and I spent the whole time in the loo sick. I was admitted to hospital the next day :( So this is really my first time :)
I'm taking Philippas idea and putting the low fat hotdogs in a thermos to take with me (thereby avoiding their exhorbitent prices) and I dunno what else. (she did have lots of good ideas in that post I just don't remember them :s)
My Storm girl has chewed up her bed while I had it out drying and now it's totally ruined. So not happy! She has had that since she was born. It was a bloody expensive and CUTE bed. I have a batch of material that I bought to make her a new bed. All cut out and ready to go. BUT I am not a sewer. And the material I bought it SUPER fluffy. Bit scared of putting it together. Plus I want to put a zipper in and Mum has scared me off doing that too.
Is anyone here a sewing freak? I will happily post my stuff off to you for a simple square if you're bored. (At least I figure it's simple if you know how to deal with the fluff)
Anyway time for me to head off - I need to meal plan for next week yet.
Love yas all! Go join the forums at www.livinginthesuburbs.com and register some interest for the challenge.
Have a great weekend!

Jadey's Back!
And I'm ready to rumble! I have been all week in fact!
Last Sunday I started a new Body-for-Life Challenge with one of my girlfriends Loz. (She lives in Sydney) So we started with a run along Manly foreshore where I burnt 1000Calories! (ok my runs are more walk than run but I give it a go!)
I kept up the good work all week right up to stretching after my HiIT Run on Friday where I tore my left Quad muscle. OUCCCHHH. Stay off it and rest it for the week is the orders. It could be between a week and 4 that I'm stuck off it which is of course the hurdle that's been thrown at me this time.
I don't care! I'm going to win this challenge anyway!
I weighed in at the start of this challenge at 91.5kg. I weighed in yesterday morning (my first free day) at 88.6kg! A huge first week loss of 2.9kg.
Tonight I have been reading a few blogs, commented on many. And found another Jadey Except this Jadey is a HOT to Trot Sports Model AND Fashion Model and she looks amazing. I also have been reading
Rae's blog recently. These two are being trained by the same coach (from what I can figure out so far) And they are both successful. You know what has gone "click" in my head is that these women EAT CLEAN AND WORK OUT with intencity. Not only that but they PLAN and PREPARE!
So tonight I am going to cook and prepare as much food in advance for this week as I possibly can. Because I want to be successful! Jadey talks about being 87kgs but looking at her I can't even begin to imagine it. And that's what I want people to think when they look at me. I mean people look at me and can't see the 120kg girl I used to be even though some days I reckon that's still me. IT'S NOT! I have to stop thinking like that. I have to think toned and healthy to get toned and healthy.
I have a fairly rare BFL wristband on that is helping to keep me focussed. I have daily chats with Loz. Emails and MSN chats and SMS and everything. I have help from my friends. From my fellow bloggers. Inspirations wherever I chose to find it!
I will heal quickly because I believe I will. I will be back out there doing what I need to do. I won't let anything or anyone stand in my way!
Will you?

Coming to you from Sydney
How I can have done this to myself I will never know. I haven't developed good habits or coping mechanisms for being away from home and now on my 2nd trip away I have done the same as my first and put on a tonne of weight.
A few months ago I was looking at breaking into the 70's - a couple of weeks of work away from it. Now I am a 90's girl again and looking at months of hard work in front of me just to get back to where I was!
I am a person who needs to be here talking to you girls. Helping to support you actually helps me keep going. To report back to myself, or to you or to just jump on the scales and know my fate is something I NEED to do. By not stepping on a scale I allowed myself to be VERY blase about what I was partaking in when I was doing no exercise. Give me a few weeks of not having to step on those scales and you can guarantee the good Jadey I have spent more than 12 months creating disappears and the old Jadey makes a comeback. IN more ways than one.
I had a Body Composition scan done while I am here in Sydney. This is something that is going to tell me everything about me with no denying anything. When it told me I was 90.7kg I was ready to curl up and die. I just wanted to cry and cry and cry.
I have 44.1% body fat.
I am obese.
I disgust myself. Harsh but true.
So what am I going to do about it???
I am picking my head up - gunna let the tears flow but not get in the way. I am going to do it again. I start a new BFL challenge with Loz on Sunday (tomorrow) And in preparation today Loz and I went shopping and I bought myself a new Success Journal. I am working on my goals and I am going to get where I want to be.
We are going for a run in the morning on the boardwalk in Manly with another BFL'r named Trish. And I know it's supposed to be an UBWO day but it's ok to swtich the days when I need to as long as I do it!! Loz even bought new shoes.
I should only have 1 distraction in this 12 weeks. And it shuld be minimal a rally in the 6th week but it's in VIC thank God which means no spending weeks away from the gym.
This 12 weeks I am committing to me. A 12 week commitment to BFL will have me make TOTAL transformation where being away isn't going to make a difference because the old Jade will be dead and the New Jadey will SHINE! And trust me I will strut.
This summer will be my best ever.
Lozza - Thanks so much chicka. Without a friend like yourself I have no idea where I would be. Loz is doing a back to back on her challenges just to help me through this one. And I in turn will be helping her.
God has sent me so many angels. There is no way I can fail.

A Quicky
I'm just logged on via OH's laptop in our apartment on the Gold Coast while I await the upload of photos from the recent QLD round of the Dutt0n Ra11y.
I'm ok - thanks for the concerns. Hopefully I'll get to log on again when I get back to Sydney on Thursday or Friday after the work side is done. (Fingers Crossed) Otherwise I am back in Melbourne from the 9th.
Love to all!
