Week Six – Fin
Hi everyone.
Week 6 has now come to and end. I have completed two aqua classes, a 2.5km and 1.5km walk and a Zumba class. I have also discovered Bran Flakes are much much much nicer when disguised with yogurt or fruit.
Weight: 125.1kg
Measurements:
Bust: 127cm
Waist: 119cm
Hips: 142cm
Upper Arm: 44cm
Thigh: 77cm
Which means a gain of 100 grams (however the scales may not be too good this week as they have suffered a case of cat wees – good one, Tripod), so hopefully once they dry out they may give me a better number. (Edit: First this this morning it was 400 grams gain, but I have re-weighed and it is not only 100 grams which is better!)
Measurement wise though, I have lost 7cm this week which means a 23cm loss all over (yay!).
This week I have noticed my thighs are feeling a bit smaller – even though it is only a 1cm loss, that measurement is from the widest part of my thigh and I think they are getting skinnier from the bottom up.
As a treat yesterday Alex and I went to the movies and I did have some popcorn, a fizzy drink and a chocolate coated icecream – that has been my only real treat for the last few weeks so indulge I did. So maybe that accounts for the weight gain.
I will do a mid week weigh in and see how things are going.
Next week: Week 7 – I am going to do two aqua classes and at least three walks, plus I would like to get some swimming in on Thursday and Friday. No Zumba as Misty and I are having a Girls Day Out (only 7 sleeps to go!) and we will be having our hair cut at Zumba time. Need to find my flippers so I can zoom up and down the lanes!
Hi Krissy,
Wow, 23 cm gone, that is fantastic news. Tripod was not helpful in the weighing department though so hopefully they will dry out and be more accurate. Also, it is really good that you can notice things trimming down and firming up. Sounds like you have a busy week ahead exercise-wise. Just had confirmation that we and you are and Alex invited to Robyn’s wedding at the end of February so that is something to work towards. Keep up with the “bran flakes’ in disguse, good for you!!!
TAlked to Ian today and he is also on a weight loss diet and exercise programme, the doc told him he was too heavy. He is enjoying it and is devising new ways of cooking i.e. slow cooking his lamb roasts insread of roasting and not buying fatty and sugary things.
Love mum
Oh that’s nice, I will have to start saving for that trip (are they getting married in Wellington?) after Christmas time. If I am going to lose about 1kg per week between now and then (with highs and lows) I should be quite a bit skinnier. And it will be a good reason to buy a nice new outfit. How did you find that out??
I am finding watching what I snack on helps – a bit of fruit and some almonds, a couple of corn thins etc are filling enough to get me through.
Mmmm.. roast lamb…..
