Likes for kilometres That is. Originally a target of 73 kms was set from January 5th to March 15th. By January 11th it was obvious I was going to achieve that easily. A decision to double it was made. 146kms by March 15th!
Today, January 29th I achieved, and passed that goal at 148.8142kms. I'm very excited because it means that I no longer have to record EVERY kilometre I do at the gym.
As of this coming Saturday, February 4th I start bootcamp. Only once a week but better than nothing right. It'll just put a bit of variety into my cardio workouts I do at the gym.
Anyway, until next time!!!!

Weigh in Wednesday!
Well today was my first ever official weigh in! I was do nervous. I know that I've lost size. Lots of it in fact but had I lost any weight? I dub my morning stuff; wee undress and hop on the scales. 70.4kgs. WHAT THE???? Then I thought, " hold on a second, bub needs boobie" I had no idea how much I had stored in there. Anyway, bub had boobie and I hopped back on the scales for an accurate weigh in. 68.8kgs! Boo yeah down 1kg.
What have I done to lose that weight? 5 cardio only sessions at the gym. Watching what I eat. Keeping under my 1,400 calories allowed. If I'm peck ish, I'll have a weight watchers snack. They're not as low in calories as I thought they'd be but they're still lower than a normal treat!!!
So what's the plan for this next week? Continue on with 4-5 cardio sessions at the gym and eat well again. Nothing special!!! But hopefully it'll continue working.

Week 1 complete!
Well I've completed week 1 of the journey to A New Me and I feel GREAT. I've been eating much better as a person but we've been eating better as a family. Normally the kids are very fussy and eat nothing. Now they're still fussy but at least they're eating and somewhat enjoying meals. I've had a yummy smoothie each morning this week and it's scrummy!!!
I've been to the gym just 4 times this past week but each time I've given my all burning a total of 2,400 calories. Add this to incidental exercise burning calories and I think I'm doing well!!!
Someone mentioned the 1 million kilo challenge so of course I signed up. Oh lord!!! I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be fab!
Like for Kilometres is going well. I'm now up to around 60kms with only 80 or so to go with 2 months left. Errr surely I can double (or perhaps triple) my goal by my birthday?
Ciao

invigorate!!!!
Wow!!! Since miss 4s birthday on Thursday last week (4 days ago) I've been at the gym 3 times! I don't really want to go on Sundays and Fridays are difficult, but not impossible for me as we have dinner with the in laws. Anyway, since then I've been 3 times, rode and x-trainer(ed) a total of 41.23kms and doubled my target goal of 73kms to 146kms. In those 3 sessions I've burnt a whopping 1496 calories just at the gym......
I've also changed my way of thinking. I now have a smoothie (banana, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, milk and yoghurt) for breakfast which is TOTALLY yummy!!! I'm also making an effort to eat more fruit during the day when I'm hungry, if the kids ask for something to eat between meals I always suggest an apple or banana but if I'm hungry between meals, I ignore it. Not any more. Also, as a family we're eating healthier. We were never a family to eat a lot of fried crap but we would decide that if the kids asked for wet bix for dinner they could have it then we'd have whatever for dinner later. NOT COOL!!!!
My shin splints are on the mend. YEY!!!I'd say they're about 70% better. Hopefully another week then I can get into true training for the City to Surf (12km run). I'm hoping to complete a couple of 5km fun runs too in the next few months but truly, who knows!!!!!!!
Now lets see if this gym work and food re-vamp is reflected on the scales. Mondays will be weigh in days (beginning January 16th) and possibly measures too. I'm a bit scared to do that though!!!!!
Until next time, Ciao!!

Howdy
Hi, I'm 29years old, a mum of 3 and am starting my weightloss journey. I've got around 8-10kgs to lose and plenty of toning to do!!
I've Embarked on running / walking / static bike(ing) / x trainer(ing) 73kms between now and my 30th birthday. I may be a little crazy. The jury is still out. Sadly I cannot run or walk much at the moment because I have shin splints :-( so bike and x trainer it is.
I suffer from atelectasis (my left lung partially collapses when I take a breath) which has been know to cause me grief in my exercise regime. Fingers crossed I can overcome it.
I'm planning on doing the City To Surf 12km run on August 26th this year. Last year I ran 7.5kms of that 12km. This year I will run it all.
Until next time, ciao
