Angie's Weight Loss!!

Well yesterday I was back into it! Went for a 5.5km run (would have gone longer, but DH was waitingfor me so he could go to work), then went and did Body Combat at the gym in the evening. I was soooo tempted to stay for the Attack class too, but this time the kids were waiting for me to get home to put them to bed :)

I have tried most of the Les Mills classes at my gym now. Still have Body Balance to try (am thinking Sunday 9am class) and they unfortunately DONT have Body Jam. I am sure I would LOVE that class. Might pop over to Fernwood with some girls from school to do that one.

Anyway, I have to say Attack is still my favourite class. I actually feel like I am burning something off in that class. Pump was boring....would prefer to do my weights out of a class, step wasn't anything special, RPM would have been ok if I didn't worry about the pain the seat gave me lol and combat last night, while a bit of fun, didn't feel like the workout I get with Attack. Attack has had me with a stitch before, out of breath etc.

Anyway, DH has gone to BRisbane for a conference today and tomorrow, which meant no dumping kids on him to exercise, so I pulled out the pram and walked to daycare to drop Charlotte off and then TJ and I came home. About a 45 minute walk with a 5 min drop off in total. :) I have a friend coming up from Brisbane to stay the night tonight, so I might need to get on the bike tomorrow evening (DH comes home around 8pm).

Okies... going to grab that gorgeous little man of mine and pop up to the shops!! :)

Well, I received my lifetime membership last night at WW. I was feeling very proud of myself, but I tell you...I have to get myself back on track again. I have blown out on the eating and don't want to put all the weight back on. My hubby said we will work on it together. I need to keep my exercise up too.

I have been good with the exercise these holidays. Been up at 6am each morning and have tried two new Les Miller classes- Body Pump and Body Step....not a huge fan of either to be honest. I love love love my Body Attack!

I also went for a 4km run yesterday...those at LITS know of my run in with the dog....won't rehash it here though. Tomorrow I will go for another run and then do Body Attack that evening.

I am going to set up a new WL goal. My new goal is going to be 67kg. Considering I weighed in at 68.9kg on Saturday, it is totally doable....BUT I am sure I have gone back to 71ish, so it is about 4kgs away. Will not look at the scales except for one a fortnight. Sooooo...I have a ways to go!!

Wish me luck!! I am back on track !!

This morning was my final weigh in with WW to get Lifetime membership!

My starting weight was 102.4kg on July 19, 2005.... goal weight was 72kg (reached it-well 70.8kg on 13 May 2006)...

Current weight (from this morning's weigh in) is 68.9kg!!!

I will have my lieftime presentation on Tuesday night at my *official meeting*! :)

Now...to put away the scales. I am putting them somewhere where I can't get on them everytime I pass them. I will weigh myself fortnightly to keep tabs and WW once a month. I just don't want to obsess with the numbers anymore and want to focus on the fitness levels and my clothes fitting from now on!

I am on school holidays now for the next two weeks, so I am planning on going to the gym daily during the day while the kids are at daycare, have netball on Wednesday night and need to work on toning my abs etc.

All very exciting! Oh...have to clean the house from top to bottom (tend to let it slide during term), so that will be a workout in itself. I wonder if I would ever make it to a size 10??

Well I headed off to the gym while the kiddos were(and still are!!) napping. I easily did 5kms with my running.....while there thought seriously about the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run.

I KNOW I can run the 4.5km course easily (and am hoping that Renee will do it with me!!! :)) but if I don't have a running partner *cough* Renee...I might look into the 12km!! Unfortunately THAT course involves going OVER the Gatweway Bridge!!!

Anyway, feel really good about my workout today. Pushed myself with my weights, which I am going to keep up...I usually only do my weights with my personal trainer, but I will do them every 2nd-3rd day to keep it up :)

While I am NOT doing the 12 week challenge on LITS...I am going to have my own little Keep Fit challenge. will be back to post my weekly goals~!

Well I am doing well on my WW maintenance at the moment. I have completed 4 weeks, with 3 more weigh ins to go until I get my lifetime membership key! I have managed to stay under goal for this entire time too. Well... 2kgs under. This week might change a little, but I am playing around with what I can eat and stay within my goal and what exercise I need to do. Will see on Saturday how this week went (I haven't exercised much- only pt on Monday and exercise bike...just been feeling really flat). I also have AF this week, so not sure if that will make a huge difference.

I have booked another 8 week session with my pt. I figure I need just that little more to push me. I am, however feeling really tired a lot lately. It doesn't help that TJ has been having bad nights, teething and a cold and that I have been dealing with that. School has been full on with Wakakirri and student teachers (oh and my class!!) I have started taking multivitamins to help out.

Righto...off to blogvisit! :)
