Diet Pills

Toria — Fri, 01 May 2009 15:25:10 +0000

My Mum asked me which diet pill I would recommend to her earlier and I told her I wouldn’t, I don’t see the need for them myself and don’t know any thing about them — but she insisted and so have been looking up slimming pills reviews for her to see what is out there and what real people who actually use the products think of them.

I am still going to try and talk her out of using any though.

Come on, Shift it!

Toria — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:25:54 +0000

I don’t seem able to lose weight at the moment and it is getting frustrating, I will be reaching for the phenphedrine at this rate and I usually oppose such pills! I have been at this thing for over 2 years now and am down to that pesky last 15lbs but still…I am working so hard trying to shift it and it’s just not happening, I have only lost about 3lbs in the last 3 months, ouch.

Treadmil time

Toria — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:29:14 +0000

I am going to hop on a friend’s treadmill later tonight, I want to take up running/jogging but am a bit nervous about it — I have never done it before, so this will be a good way to test the waters and see if I am able to run and if I feel happy enough to go do it in public.

I have been working out for over two years now but I have still never worked out in public hehe

HRM update

Toria — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:20:11 +0000

I finally got the issue with my heart rate monitor sorted, that’s only been going on for what — 2 months now?

In the end I have actually ended up with a new one and a refund, so essentially I have a free HRM now hehe

I don’t even know how it’s ended up that way to be honest but I can’t complain, and it is really nice to have it back and in working order. I had a great workout tonight and really pushed myself — I burned 550 calories in an hour and it’s a while since I have managed that, I was only getting around 400 – 450 in my time without it!

Hungry Hungry Hippo

Toria — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:17:19 +0000

I think I need an appetite suppressant at the moment, really I am like a hungry beast — can’t get enough food, especially sweet stuff which is odd because usually I don’t crave it much at all.

Over the last few days I have eaten cake, cookies, cheese cake, apple pie and letter sweets. That’s more ‘naughty’ foods than I had consumed probably since Christmas in total!

I hope it passes, or I can get my self control back on track otherwise I will be piling weight back on and I do not want that!

Heart Rate Monitor Problems

Toria — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:56:01 +0000

I blogged a while ago about my heart rate monitor having stopped working properly, I couldn’t return it to the place I bought it from because they no longer sold it so I contacted the manufacturers directly and although they said they’d replace it they have done nothing but mess me around ever since — I finally got it returned to me on Tuesday, but they had not fixed or replaced it with the bogus reason that I had not sent them my proof of purchase.

Argh *bangs head on desk*

I am really annoyed and about ready to just throw it in the bin and forget about it.

Weight loss milestone

Toria — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:45:52 +0000

I reached a weight loss milestone a few days ago, I have now lost a total of 5 stone! That’s 70lbs!

Pretty proud of myself about that, but I still have a way to go — another 1 stone at least before I am happy then another stone on top of that to get me to my ‘ideal’ weight. This week I am working out on my elliptical every day and doing an hour on Wii Fit each night, I would really like to get things moving faster!

You know what the absolute best diet pill is? Hard work. I tried a few natural metabolism booster type pills early on in my journey but ultimately decided they weren’t for me.

Time for a new routine

Toria — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:54:37 +0000

As soon as this blasted migraine has fully passed I am going to look into weight loss products, I need to do something new now because I am getting near my goal and my loss has really slowed down.

I know that often a change of routine is as good as any thing else. So I am going to try that first — work out in a different way at a different time and switch up my meals so that I am eating more earlier and less later.

I am looking forward to it actually and hopefully it will give me the boost that I need.

Feeling like a lazy bum

Toria — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:49:05 +0000

Argh, my migraine has meant that I have not worked out the last two days — I probably won’t tomorrow either, I know from experience that working out is usually the worst thing I can do when trying to keep a migraine at bay

I enjoy my days off from working out, but only when they are preplanned ones — when they aren’t, even if I have a really good reason I still feel like a lazy bum.

You know, I never realised how much diet pills really cost because they are not something I ever really looked into before. Earlier I came across a review of a well advertised fat burner called Hydroxycut and I about fell over where I got to the part that said a bottle costs any where from $40 – $80, yowsers!

You’d be better off getting a cheap exercise bike or a few months at a gym for that in my opinion

How very annoying

Toria — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:23:45 +0000

OK, gimme the darned diet pills already! It was only a few hours ago I was proudly blogging about having lost a pound this week, putting me out of the obese category — well I just weighed myself again and it seems I celebrated a little too early — cos that pound is back on, grr.

I know that it’s just general body fluctuations and I am not really freaking out about it and reaching for the diet pills, but it is annoying, very very annoying.

I know it’ll come straight back off again and most importantly stay off though, so it’s all good…I just need a little more patience.
