Losing weight and feeling great...thread revived

Hi Everyone,

My sister got married on the 25th so I've been off for a week prior to her wedding.So being home was a good thing as we havent seen each other for over 5 years but not good for my health.Running around for decor,fittings,photographer appointment etc (you can imagine) we had what most people eat when busy on the road-JUNK & worse I did not do any exercises though I took my DVDs with me.This sucks!!

Then I came back on the 27th & decided to do a detox that I googled.Maple Syrup thing & it was HARD.No matter how I told myself I could do it-I failed.I'm now left with the guilt of using my hard earned cash to buy the ingridients & never finish the course.This sucks even more!!

So during the weekend I decided to try again for a month challenge of no dieting but eating healthy.So I had a great day yersterday mostly fruits & veges.Today had 2 slices of peanut butter & jelly with a cup of coffee (not sure if this is ok) then pear for snack & now I just had a brown roll with garlic polony & cheese (1 slice each).I have an apple that I will have for my second snack & I hope to have something healthy for dinner.

The good thing is that I bought some tunas,wholewheat pasta & spagetti so I will experiment with what I have in my cabinet.

I did not do my exercise yersterday as it was very cold so I decided to sit in front of my TV & heater.

One question:how do you motivate yourself to wake up in the cold morning & do some exercises?

Do you think going to a gym is a better choice than doing home DVDs?I sometimes feel that if I join the gym I could win this plauteu thing?

How long do you exercise in the morning & evening?Currently I've been doing between 45min-1hr once a day & I feel its not enough?

Anyone with an exercise plan that you can share?I just feel that I'm not mixing my exercises correctly e.g. cardio everyday then 10min upper body (mon) lower body (tue) then abs (wed).I feel like I should be doing something different.

Okay too many questions...

I hope my comment will be submitted once.I feel like a fool having 3 same posts over & over again.Let me try...

I was told I need to lose 11kg, my goal weight is 65- , will try and make an eating plan that works well for the whole family. Hmm let the loss begin. Congrats to your wife Francios!
