Day 6, Week 2

I can't believe the end of Week 2 is almost upon me it has flown by so quick, is it really any wonder that weight can creep up on us the way it does.  I wish it would dissappear just as quick! Food wise today I did better, not by heaps but its a start.  Actually, I had an ice...

Day 5, Week 2

Fridays are always so full on and today was no exception.  I seriously did not get to stop and have a proper break until about half an hour ago and it is now 10.30pm.   It was also a 'Bugger the Exercise!' day for me which I am kind of feeling guilty about but also not as I know that I would of burnt off some calories...

Day 4, Week 2

I DID IT!!  I didn't think I had the motivation to do it but I did and now although I am sitting here with a face as red as a beetroot and my clothes sticking to me as if it was a stinking hot 40+ degree day, I am feeling really proud of myself for not giving in to my own excuses and for kicking my own butt into gear.  Oh, you have...

Day 3, Week 2

FOOD Todays food intake was pityful and if it wasn't for the 2 teaspoons of sugar and milk that I have in my tea/coffee then I would of been lucky to even reach the 300 calorie mark which is approx 900 calories less than what I should have each day. On a positive though, once I...

Day 2, Week 2

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!  I may be a halfcast (Kiwi / Aussie) but I still feel very blessed to live in a country full of wonderful opportunities and I am proud to be able to call myself an Australian (well half of me anyway). In good old Aussie tradition we headed...

End Day 1, Week 2

OK So I have been feeling a little shitty today and for the most part it's because of not being able to get an accurate weigh in result due to my stupid f*&^%$ scales not working properly.  Mind you, after all the stuffing around with them I remembered that I had the WII Fit.  Since I was dressed and had had breakfast...

Day 1, Week 2...Frustrated!!

WEIGHT As per my normal Monday morning weigh in ritual, I stripped off, took my scales down to the kitchen setting them up in the same place as the previous week, placed the 2 x 3kg (total 6kg) hand weights on the scales in order to calibrate them and .......WTF??  0.00kg?  So, I take them off give the scales...

LUNCH... Today I had lunch at McDonalds and although I would of loved to have scoffed a Grand Angus burger into my mouth I went with one of the healthy choice options and had a Seared Chicken Caesar Salad with Bagel Chips and it was delicious.  Oh, I also had my Coffee(s) of course...

Day 3, Week 1.

My body pulled up really well this morning after yesterdays P/T session which I must say I am really suprised about. I am guessing that it must mean that I am getting fitter yeah? Either way it means that I need to push myself harder next time. Today's plan was to do a Home Gym Cardio session, however...

Day 2, Week 1....TUESDAY!!

Ok so my plan of trying to get to bed at a decent hour didn't exactly work out but today I still managed to do a Boxing Personal Training Session at the Gym and even though a couple of times it felt as though the world was spinning a little too fast, I loved every minute of it. I did a 10 minute...

It occurred to me that in order for you to fully understand the bigger picture with regards to my weight loss journey, that I will need to share some background information with you. So here goes......

And so it begins!!

DAY 1... I didn't exactly spring out of bed this morning with an abundance of enthusiasm but I wasn't letting my lack of sleep deter me from being proactive and so I weighed, measured, quickly threw some clothes on myself and the boys and made a mad dash to the Gym for a morning Zumba Class which was just the kickstart I needed. I even...

Taking Back Control!

Rather than sitting on my butt whinging about the fact that I am uncomfortable in my own skin I have decided that there is no better time than right now to take back control and change my life for the better. And so with that said, I am embarking on the next phase of my life towards a healthier and...
