Project 12: Day Five
August 8th, 2006 by jennemede
Went to the gym today and had a really good workout. Varying exercise ‘methods’ is important because it keeps it interesting. Wonder what I’m going to do when we move to a new house if it doesn’t have a gym. My right knee is beginning to feel a bit painful because I busted it like 20 years ago playing squash (do you believe I used to play for my school?). Have a feeling the lubricant between the joints has been worn off.
Diet food: I’ve been eating Vietnamese spring rolls whenever I can, but feasted on Dungeness (sp?) crabs last night ‘coz Lokes’ colleague gave him like four - yummy.
The Vietnamese rolls are really simple to make. Gonna post the recipe up on my cooking blog soon when I remember to take a pic of it.

Hey Jenn. All the best to you in your weight loss journey. I know you can do it.
I was a size 22 and started walking to lose weight. I also stop eating rice completely. In 1 year, I went down to size 8. Now, after giving birth, I am a size 12. Still trying to lose weight by watching what I eat as I don’t have time to walk anymore
The best part of it is when you start shopping for your new wardrobe
Though you can’t hear me, I’ll be cheering for you every morning 
Take care.

Hi. I don’t walk as much as you do but I guess I lost weight because I cut down on carbo. For breakfast, I drink 1 cup of coffee. Lunch would be 2 slices of wholemeal bread with cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers and 1 sausage. I would eat salad or soup or another 2 slices of wholemeal bread for dinner.
It was quite difficult during the first few weeks but I was very determined to lose weight because most people said I won’t be able to do it. I didn’t even get a few jobs because of my weight
By the second month, my pants and skirts were not so tight anymore. This motivated me to go on
Since you walk so much, I believe you will notice a difference very soon
