Hi everyone,

Sorry about the lack of update on Sunday. A), the scales have died – need new batteries, and b) I have put my back out or strained a muscle or something very sore. I went aquajogging yesterday to keep moving, and am doing the same today. Hopefully taking it easy but still working will continue the downward trend.

That is all.

I went to the gym on Tuesday for an hour (abs still sore), then did aqua last night – I was quite surprised how “fit” I felt. Going for an hour aquajog today, and then the gym tomorrow.

Still on this no white stuff diet – I still don’t like kumara! Last night I had it mixed with a little bit of cottage cheese which was quite alright. And the Sweet Chili/Sour Cream wholegrain corn thins are very delicious!

And so it begins.

I went to Balance last night – new release class, so lots of different music and all different moves.

My abs HURT!!! I have also realised since I haven’t done Balance in a while how inflexible I am again. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things though. Gym today….

As for eating, I made some soup (saw the recipe in a health magazine) – a packet of soup mix, whatever extra veges, and a can of tomatoes. Quite tasty and quite filling. I have enough for about a week of lunch.

Hi all,

Sorry, not a lot of updates this week, we’ve been enjoying the summer and it’s been quite busy with lots of work on.

Exercise this week – 1 x gym session, 2 x hour long swim/aquajog sessions and today I went for a long walk.

Bust: 122cm
Waist: 113cm
Hips: 132cm
Upper Arm: 44cm
Thigh: 71cm

No change from last week. And the scales have died so I am not sure of weightloss this week, although I don’t think I have lost any – I am pleased to maintain though.

Next week I will be properly back into the swing of things – walk and balance tomorrow, gym on Tuesday, aqua on Wednesday, swim on Thursday, gym on Friday and Balance/Zumba on Sunday.

I think I’ve slowed down so much because of the lack of Zumba now for a month (due to having to work on Zumba day). Looking VERy forward to going this weekend!!!

Hi everyone.

Sorry, not many updates this week, I have been caught up in various things.

I have been to the gym and swam/aquajogged for an hour yesterday. Today I am having another session in the water for an hour, and will be going to the gym tomorrow.

Can’t wait for next week when I am back to normal and can get back into Zumba and Balance. Oh, how I have missed you!!!

Hi everyone.

I have only stood on the scales this morning – no time for measurements (will do that tonight).

122.3kg – which is a 200 gram loss (small but accountable, none the less). Which I am pleased with since I only went to the gym and a swim this week since there has been mucho excitement!

Will post more – I am now going to official at the Santa Parade!

I’ve been good exercising and eating and all (gym Tuesday, swim today, lots o’ salad).

Big news though – We’re engaged!

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!

Hi Heidi!

As requested, here are the measurements I have lost:

Was:
Bust: 133cm
Waist: 126cm
Hips: 147cm
Upper Arm: 46cm
Thigh: 80cm

Now:
Bust: 122cm
Waist: 113cm
Hips: 132cm
Upper Arm: 44cm
Thigh: 71cm

Have Lost:
Bust: 11cm
Waist: 13cm
Hips: 15cm
Upper Arm: 2cm
Thigh: 9cm

A total of 50cm – oh my goodness!!!! Who would have guessed I would have lost half a metre! I am especially pleased with my waist, hip and thigh results (especially for a while there I was thinking I wasn’t losing anything off my things – turns out I actually was!).

Dad is alright – he was allowed home yesterday on crutches. The doctor said the little bit of metal went in further than if he got shot with a .22 (ouch!). He also gets to keep the piece of metal.

On the exercise front, I didn’t do anything on Monday as I had other stuff to do. Yesterday I went to the gym for an hour and today is aquarobics. I have been eating well – I had salad with lettuce, capsicum, tomato, cucumber, a slice of shaved ham chopped up, mashed egg and some chickpeas for lunch yesterday. Same again today!

Hi all.

Meusli with 3 slides starwberries and milk for brekkie this morning.

In other news, Dad was admitted to hospital last night after his knee became victim to a piece of cold chisel that pinged off. He had surgery and will be in hospital for a few days on IV antibiotics. So Dad – hope you’re feeling okay and get well soon!! xxx

Well.

I am actually a bit miffed with the results this week.

Weight: 122.4kg
Measurements:
Bust: 122cm
Waist: 113cm
Hips: 132cm
Upper Arm: 46cm
Thigh: 71cm

No change. After the Balance class, an hour of sweat at the gym, an aqua class, a 2.5km walk, and another sweaty gym session, nothing! Nada, zip, zero.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

And I worked so hard… and I ate so well!
