mardi gRAs
MARDI GRAS!
Waking up this morning/late afternoon for my first weigh in (well.. I had one on Tuesday but toooootally disregarded that..)
Thankyou gay community of Sydney for having me gyrate wildly for such an extended period of time it has done wonders.
Our new dance move 'the freight train' made its debut last night in honour of Shelley's 21st. Who would have thought the gift of dance could be so powerful and so effortlessly effective.
Yesterday was a top day for CC to cc perhaps the best i've had so far, sans alcohol... Shake breakfast followed by protein bar and salad sandwich. Apple ofcourse, and small bites of chicken before leaving for MARRRRDI Gras.
I love that for Jono and I, half a bottle of vodka each and 4 double premix drinks each- is a quiet night.
So I'm about to jump on the trainer for a while to celebrate the fact I am not hungover today.
Paul Simon- that's your song. We called you.
Peace Love and Ra x

Day Ten. Coming Clean- just in time for the Gras.
DAY TEN
CONFESSION TIME.
Forgive me Dilwee for I have sinned..
Went to see Valentines Day with Mad Jono..
'bec would you like some popcorn'
'no thanks'
'really I have heaps'
'no no i'm fine thanks'
'oh right you have that 12 week challenge with dil huh'
'um.. yeah but i'm actually full I just had maccas'
First week!? More like first WEAK. It has not been a great week for me, but as I say to my clients, time to forgive, forget and forge forward. I like a bit of alliteration in clinic practice, it keeps things interesting.
I have made several trips to the grocery store this week and I am consuming a veritable plethora of whole grains and sprouts. I have missed sprouts. The problem lies however with the consumption of said wholegrains for my eeeevening meal. Not enjoying my meat, finding a meal in the evening sans CHO and high in protein has been- actually lets not lie, i've been too lazy to make good meals in the evening... FOR EXAMPLE.
Monday dinner, tuna (good!) corn (okay!) brown rice (mmmm not such a great idea for tea..) and shitloads of vegetable stock (okay this is going awry).
This week I have learnt 'shitload', although a standardized unit of measure, is not an appropriate standardized unit of measure in cooking.
I need to get my shit together, I do this for A LIVING and have no excuses!
As aforementioned I have also adhered to my mini-goal to eat an apple a day. My problem has been my freight train out of control lifestyle which has resulted in my consumption function slamming up the richter scale, 8.8... Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol..
Good news abounds however;
Becfucious say:
Week two will smash weak one.
As Emiliana Torrini would say, today has been okay. I banned my breakfast in an attempt to increase my protein intake and decrease the CHO etc. Instead this morning I decided to take the advice I dish out EVERY DAY and I made a shake with psyllium. Lunch consisted of soy and linseed with sprouts, beetroot, tomato, avocado (can't help it..!) and...
DUN DUN DUNNNN..
Chicken, in a can.
It puts the 'chat' in chat roulette that is for sure. I have not seen a brighter hue of pink since last years Mardi Gras. Knowing that my lunch time consumption of protein was essential to my success, I coated it in beetroot juice and managed to eat at least a few bites.
I have taken up using the elliptical whilst watching TV.
Did I mention its creme egg season? Yeah... It is...
Well. I'm struggling to smell the trophy being so far away from it, but I can smell freshly cut grass, suburban dew, and the light salty aroma of morning sweat.

DIL DAY TEN
Whats up...
Bec - l'm stocking up on trophy polish as we speak.
Last night ran for 30 mins at the gym with 3 mins on the arm cycle (slowly working my time up)... Dinner was a chicken stirfry with satay sauce - almost completely convinced l'm going to get food poisoning after l had the chicken uncovered in my fridge for two days, froze it, and then being lazy, defrosted it in the wok.... l love thee wonderous world - farewell.
Got distracted and forgot to sign up for the 6 week pilates course - damn.
Have decided l will gt a DIY pilates DVD and force my new housemates (who are pilates instructors) to give me lessons at home... because l can't imagine anything else they would rather do after a whole day of pilates classes, than come home and do pilates with their completely incompetent housemate.
The fruit in my fridge is rotting and my vegetables are moulding... but ah.. l'll still eat it - not one to waste food!!
Breakfast was a peach and apple and tea.
Lunch was an amazing test of will power as l ignored the chicken stroganoff with rice on the menu and instead opped for tomato and mozzarella on toasted bread with pesto and pinenut potatoes and a tomato and cucumber salad... yum!
2 cappucinos, one banana.
Gym tonight again... l think l'm getting into a nice little routine...can't wait for the face to start having definiton!
There are mirrors surrounding all the machines at the gym so you can watch yourself work out... l plan on making a shirt that has - run bitch run - backwards so when l'm on the tredmill, it will read correctly and l can be inspired by my own crudeness and the time l ran a 20 min walk in 3 minutes - remember that bec... genius...
Peace, love and running the distance.

... oops.
BEC DAY 7,8,9.. and 10?
Okay so I have been MIA for the past few days and by that I unfortunately don't mean a rockin Sri Lankan chick that sings catchy songs about avian flu.
I went to the movies with Jono to see Valentines day on Tuesday after farewelling Judylicious at the airport. A horrendous combination. So first of all I was up at 4:30am. Irritable, hungry, body clock out of whack, still within time frame for mcdonalds breakfast... Then I had to go to the airport. That place did little to appease my wanderlust. Then i had to say goodbye to Judy.. ANOTHER of my favourite people LEAVING. Then I couldnt figure out how to get out of the airport. I ended up in Bondi. That was the opposite way to where I needed to be by AN HOUR AND A HALF. Then Jono decides to take me to see Valentines day. Great movie for people with achy hearts, it has a FRIGGEN happy ending!!!! And therefore the remainder of my day went a little like this.
'do you want some popcorn?'
'no.. no thanks'
'are you sure I got heaps'
'no i'm okay thanks'
'oh thats right you're on that fitness kick with Dil'
'no.. actually I'm full I just had maccas breakfast'
Sorry Dilly.
So after being a total emo for the rest of the afternoon, I decided to brush back my silky black fringe and get over it.
Sunday night- dad and daughter dinner night WRITE OFF
Monday dinner with my family moving to PNG. WRITE OFF
Trivia last night. WRITE OFF.
THURSDAY. will be much better.
In fact i'm off to make breakfast now.
I promise more prompt status updates THIS WEEK.
I have succeeded in eating an apple a day though...

DIL DAY NINE
Slow slow day... for the first time in a long time l am very very bored - which means l am very very hungry...
Went out to the West End last night for Sarinas birthday and saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!... loved every minute of it!..
We went for dinner prior at a nearby Thai restaurant... chicken pad thai with spring rolls...
This morning l could barely get out of bed. Tired beyond belief.
Breakfast was the usual.
Lunch was a chicken salad, cluster yogurt and apple juice.
One cappucinno.
Tonight l will be hitting the gym and then making myself a salad with chicken and sweet potato and hopefully an early night.

DIL DAY EIGHT
Get ready to be proud!!!....
Last night, not only did l run for 20 minutes on the tredmill at the gym; l then went home, had a shower and walked 20 minutes to my sisters place - purposefully forgetting my oyster card so l would have to walk home also. It was unfortunate that the one day l was looking forward to a healthy dinner, my hungover sister provided us with Pizza... nooooo!!!!
It all worked out though... l walked 20 minutes home - realised l had left my phone at Ames - and walked 20 minutes back to retrieve it (it is, after all, my alarm clock)........... and then l walked 20 minutes home again, so check that for accidental fitness!!...
This morning was an apple, yogurt and tea... original
and for lunch it was oven fired chilli toritlla chips with homous and a large garden salad - no dressing.
I can't go to the gym tonight unfortunately as l am taking Sarina out for her birthday... tomorrow definitely!! :)
Chao!!

DIL DAY SEVEN
So a week has gone by - and my diet hasnt gone completely according to plan.. but l always figure that failure is going to come in the first week.. its like a teething process - you need to learn your weakness' and crush them!
So far its been a relatively so so day
Breakfast: Apple, English Breakfast Tea, Rhubarb yogurt.
Lunch: Fettuccini, Pancetta, Gorgonzola Cream, Garlic & Tomato Bread
Total of two coffees and a banana inbetween.
I didn't have time last night to make a salad for lunch due to a gig in Farrington, so the creamy pasta from my work cafe was my only option - can't say l complained too much - it was freaking delicious!!
Tonight, my diet is in the hands of whatever my sister decides to serve me... but not before l get half an hour in at the gym!...
Advice to all those looking for an amazing new live band - The Dawn Chorus... blew my socks off!...

DIL DAY FIVE AND SIX
Right so some catching up to do over the weekend!
Friday night, £5 two hours of power - good god... 6 Litres of lemonade vodka later and l'm dancing like a maniac!.. l feel that going out is actually like a workout - but fun (especially where my dance moves are concerned.. crraaazzzzyy)... ended up walking home from the pub... which actually turned into me running home from the pub.. the housemates were walking way too slow and l still had a mass amount of energy left.. so overall l feel l balanced out my excessive drinking with cardio.
Saturday was a slow process of getting out of bed... after arriving home and stuffing my face with chips and noodles the night before, my hangover was subdued, but my body definitely wasn't responding as quickly as it should have.
Breakfast: tomato spagetti on buttered bread.... yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!!!! It hit the spot...
My day was pretty lazy... l basically spent the whole day trying to convince myself to go to the gym.... failed, miserably... l did however walk 20 minutes to Sarinas house for a movie night, so not all was lost!
We chilled on the bed and watched 'He just not that into you' and 'the boat that rocked' while snacking on maltesers and feasting on chicken and pesto pizza... plus apple strudel and icecream for desert.... yes l know, l know.... but it won't be happening again.
Sunday l woke at Sarinas house after deciding to spend the evening rather than brave the cold!!...
She cooked up a lovely breakfast of tomatoes, egg and ham... its like the healthy version of a big breakfast... l chilled with her for a little while, tossing up whether we should go to the cinemas to see 'Precious' or not.... l declined after some calculated thought - gym, gym, gym, gym, GYM, GYM!!!!!....
Walked 20 minutes home from Sarinas, got dressed and went straight across the road to the sports centre.
WORKOUT
20 mins running on tredmill
10 mins cycling
05 mins arm cycle
Was wearing a D.A.R.E shirt the whole time... l wonder if everyone in the gym could hear me mumbling to the adjacent mirror - 'dare to be healthy' 'dare to be beautiful' 'dare to try'.... cringeworthy hollywood inspiration.
I didnt want to over do myself too early in the game - and l smashed my knee cap on the arm cycle machine cause my legs are too long, so l was in pain...
Had a shower and went across to Sainburys for some grocery shopping...
So so proud!!

DAY FOUR AND FIVE- Placedogs.
DAY FOUR.. and FIVE from the Placedogs camp.
An assortment of comments.
Well. Since discovering that Jennifer Anniston had rudely stolen my celebrity boyfriend, I discovered that this was going to be the type of diet where the broken ones do not count. They are broken, and I surmise somehow in the breaking process the calories escape. I would ask Gerard Butler for confirmation but he's busy shmoozing up to Jen. If he dies and starts leaving love letters addressed to Jen instead of me, I will freak.
I am on a random mission to eat an apple a day.
I have fallen deeply in love with avocado, tomato and cheese toasted on soy and linseed bread.
Wont Kneel by GA is perhaps the best exercise song since More Than You Are. That is a big call though.

I promise I still listen to good music, although it does look doubtful judging by the playlist!
I have fallen deeply in love with beetroot on sandwiches.
Major setback yesterday when Mad Jono and I decided it was a good idea to take advantage of a special deal on a special Saturday.. We consumed, *deep breath* 8 bottles of cider, 8 cans of premixed horror, half a bottle of cheap vodka, and 3 baby food satchels full of vodka. Needless to say we ended up beyond obliterated and while lining up for vinyl room, AFTER being kicked out of Gymea pub for performing choreography (oh yes, we were that drunk) we realised we had not eaten all day. And you know what that means...
We then proceeded to eat and share lots of slurred 'I bloody love you's' on the platform as we exchanged gratitude for our Amy Winehouse-esque friendship.
This morning I feel like I brushed my teeth with the rotting corpse of a possum.
I should be breath tested before I am allowed to text message, OR go on Facebook.
So I'm quitting drinking on the 7th of March for the remainder of the tournament. I do believe this decision will greatly influence my success.
I am considering doing the 30 day Bikram challenge in March. I'm tired just typing that. I am also going to BodyJam. It will have to do for the moment considering I cant go back to dancing yet, i'm getting restless without my dancing.
Now if you will excuse me I'm going to get back to getting my CC to cc.

Needless to say we ended up beyond obliterated and while lining up for vinyl room, AFTER being kicked out of Gymea pub for performing choreography (oh yes, we were that drunk) we realised we had not eaten all day. And you know what that means...
We then proceeded to eat and share lots of slurred 'I bloody love you's' on the platform as we exchanged gratitude for our Amy Winehouse-esque friendship.
This morning I feel like I brushed my teeth with the rotting corpse of a possum.
I should be breath tested before I am allowed to text message, OR go on Facebook.
So I'm quitting drinking on the 7th of March for the remainder of the tournament. I do believe this decision will greatly influence my success.
I am considering doing the 30 day Bikram challenge in March. I'm tired just typing that. I am also going to BodyJam. It will have to do for the moment considering I cant go back to dancing yet, i'm getting restless without my dancing.
Now if you will excuse me I'm going to get back to getting my CC to cc.

DIL DAY FOUR
CC to cc challenge
Melrose Place versus Alex the Kid.
Booyah! Friday!!!!....
Getting geared up for a few days of sleeping in and room organisation...
Didn't make it to American Apparel last night.. don't think l ever will - too proud... l did however JOIN THE GYM!... its a tiny step towards body brilliance - the huge step is actually going, which l will... l promise.
Tonight l am planning on going out with some mates to a bar down the road that has 'two hours of power for £5' (thats all you can drink in two hours for 5 quid ahhh)... this could be disasterous - but l have been told an excellent hangover remedy of one boiled egg - or a slice of tomato - before going to bed, so this should stop me from flaking on the gym Saturday afternoon.
Motivation #1 - if Kelly Osborne can do it....
There is also a 6 weeks pilates beginners course at the gym that l am thinking of joining up to.. its free with the membership after all and will be great for core muscles and posture! To help motivate me, l have pre ordered the new Angus and Julia Stone album from Australia.. love.
Breakfast: Mixing it up a little today with an apple and English Breakfast Tea...
Lunch: Unfortunately it was burger day at the work kitchen - and its not everyday you get your hands on a piece of 100% quality beef in London soooo l hit that.
Snacks: Coffee
I have joined the free website that helps you keep tally of your eating - calorieking.com.au... it seems to be a really handy way of monitoring your diet, so a big thankyou to Bec for getting me onto that one!
ISSUE - Burger Day SOLUTION - Make sure there's lots of salad on it!

I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j.
I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.
MOLEROSE DAY THREE
DAY THREE
Spent the morning sorting through ONE bag of old dancing costumes whilst subtley dancing. I place emphasis on ONE because the attire from years of dancing and the plethora of costumes could all fit into ONE bag, owing to their miniscule size. I shrieked when I saw the hotpants. Ever so small.
Then as I proceeded to rifle through old belongings playing music in the background, Calvin chimed in with comical precision...
IT WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80s....
So I threw most of it out. Even if I ever fit back into them again, they will NEVER be acceptable again...
THEN. I had no apples- how do you like them apples?
I had made it my mission to eat an apple a day so I had to walk up the street for apples... You should have seen my shopping basket. I was hoping I would run into clients of mine so they would perve on my shopping and I would be proud to be caught leading by example! Alas, I did not and I will probably get caught with a glass of wine in my hand, like I always seem to.
THEN. I did time on the cross trainer and realised I have to go back to dancing and yoga and do something I actually enjoy SO I sent an email to Yogi (not the bear.. although he does steal picnic baskets so perhaps that might be an idea..) and I have stupidly put my hand up for the 30 day challenge in March which involves doing 90 mins of Bikram daily for a month... Oh boy... Hopefully I will be a sexy pretzel by the end of the month...
THEN I made brown rice, tuna and corn. I didnt know what to mix it with so I mixed it with nothing and it was okay.. No who am I kidding it was shit, and not even particularly healthy.
Jono and I will be having choreography session on Wednesday, so that should be a real calorie burner. Have you seen the softserve?! That move engages every muscle group in the body! ADVANTAGE MUCH!?
Luck to ya.
INSPIRATION FOR THE DAY: Week two of a diet and exercise regime is always the easiest because by then you're off it.

MOLEROSE DAY TWO
DAY TWO: Becky Rae Cyrus vs Alexisonfire.
Proverb of the day.
He who does not wash apple will get worm anyway, stuff getting up early.
Mad Jono made me a CD. My Ipod has been updated and is now ready to come with me on long runs... Just not today.
I want to go back to dancing. People I used to dance against are now on So You Think You Can Dance and I'm sitting at home jealously watching them as I participate in my own reality show- So You Think You Can Nostalge. (I know thats not a word but it should be)
While Dil was enjoying gratuitous amounts of succulent circles of death, I was, ironically, at a weightloss practitioners function for work. Two words-
WINE BABY.
So after a few glasses of wine and conversation about all things HEALTH I decided training intoxicated was a great idea. Facebook distracted me, I ended up throwing in the towel and passing out on the lounge watching 'spa of embarrassing illnesses'.
Apart from the gratiutous amounts of wine and a Furry Friend which Carli and I consumed as an entree, owing to the meaty nature of the other dishes, I am rather pleased with the efforts of my furry friend, nutritionally at least! ;)
What will all the boys in my yard do when I stop making my fabulous milkshakes!? Kelis?! Help me!
I can hardly spell success these days let alone smell it.
(the double CC for the day)
CLARIFY: Does a blood test count as weightloss?
COMPLAINT: All my friends are overseas except Sara Lee and she is SUCH a good cook.
CC to cc..
lets CC how it goes.

DIL DAY THREE
This week there is a special offer at Hummingbird Bakery Soho for a free cupcake with every voucher presented.... how many vouchers were just dumped on my desk?..... 50..... 50 FREE cupcakes.... fuck you universe...
Last night was my weekly movie night with Ame and Chris... one of my favourite nights of the week - but also one of the fattest. After all, who can watch a movie without popcorn?? - fat kids mentality.
I missed the bus to Fulham by 30 seconds.
Had 7 minutes to wait till the next arrived
Began walking in the hope of getting to my destination faster
BEAT THE BUS BY 9 MINUTES!!! and caught up with the bus l had originally missed
GO SPEEDY LEGS GO!!!!.... *sigh* too bad l ate a chicken burger for dinner and ruined my good work.
So i walk past American Apparel everyday judging the models in their slut campaigns - why don't they just save on advertising and scam porn off the internet, tweek the outfits on photoshop and hey presto! shameless marketing. My reason for bringing this up, is that today l am going to be a hypocrite and actually purchase a body suit from there to wear to the gym.... obviously with track pants!!.... it shames me to think that l will be endorsing this company, but hell... their body suits look extremely comfortable and as long as they have a pee clip (l mean, lets be honest here - hands up who wants to strip naked everytime nature calls) l'm pretty much sold - no thanks to their degrading selling style.
Breakfast: Apple, english Breakfast tea, banana.... l seriously need to start thinking of some variety.
Lunch: Chicken tikka masala.. rice and naan... it was delicious - E.O.S.
It's raining today so there is no chance for a walk around... my hopeful self didnt pack an umbrella this morning thinking that will power alone would blow the clouds from the sky and let the sun break through... silly silly girl and her fanciful dreams... now you are going to go home wet.
ISSUE - Free cupcake vouchers. SOLUTION - cupcakes = fatcakes - on your thighs... gain pals not pounds.. contribute, distribute, retribute.

DIL DAY TWO
Current weight: 90kg
Ideal weight: 80-82kg
Height: 5'11 - 6'

Day two and l have suffered a major fall back. Damn Pancake Day caught me in the last possible hours of Day One and l found myself consuming 8 large chocolate circles of diet death with maple syrup for dinner.... dead to me Alex, dead to me.
DAY TWO ISSUE - Taking unofficial celebratory Days way too seriously. SOLUTION - Make everyday, Vegetable Day.
Today the sun is shining and the air is calm with a post rain afterglow... wonderful.
Breakfast: Apple, Banana, English Breakfast tea.
Made a trip to the gym to check out the possibility of joining - tried to get a discount - was told to come back thursday - DONE.
Had a lovely, relaxing sit in the sun at Golden Square reading my book at lunchtime.... walk time to the park - 10 mins
Lunch: Chicken Sandwich combo, yogurt with museli clusters, orange/mango/lime juice.
NOTE TO SELF: Dont ever drink that juice again... it tasted like concentrated ass water.

DIL DAY ONE
It's officially begun - the rapid race towards the world tightest thighs, and l'm already considering whether or not l can actually do this.
Bec, seeming we are 17,500km away from one another.. this is our blog.. the proof of our strenuous efforts to rid our arms of the jiggly undersides we should be calling biceps.
BEC AND DIL 12 week CHALLENGE..
WEEK ONE inspirational advice.
Get your leg warmers ready. Everybody knows luke warm shins are the KEY to success..
Day One and l've come to the conclusion that there are pot holes in our playing field. Australias summer VS Londons winter?... those are ridiculous odds. Layers upon layers of clothing have provided me with a very comfortable fat hiding solution - but summer is approaching! and these big flabby excuses for arms are going to have to come crawling out of their clothing cave.... *sigh*... enough - let us begin.
It's raining.... motivation = zero.... but we did just interview a pair of pilates instructors for the top room in our house... this bodes well...
RULE #1
Invest in a new pair of tights... noone likes to see a woman stretch in tights that have crotch holes.
Purchased a tub of yogurt and bag of crisp red apples yesterday to ensure l always had something for breakfast.. too bad that apple was KNOCKED from my hand as l boarded the tube this morning, effortlessly rolling to its train track death... damn london commuters. The apple from my cafe was attrociously floury and sour which resulted in breaky being two pieces of peanut butter toast and a weak English Breakfast tea from the work kitchen....
Karma 1 - Alex 0
Pancake Day = pancake Gay, as there were no pancakes on offer for Lunch today.... devoed. Perhaps it was the universe giving back for its gross apple misconduct this morning, because unless those pancakes were made from vegetables or museli - l'm pretty sure they dont fit comfortably into ANY diet...
Lunch today: Grilled Pesto Vegetables, Tagliatelle & Crème Fraiche... yum yum yum.
My mission for this evening is to join the gym across from my house....... and actually go.
