NEW GOAL REACHED

YAY!!! IVE REACHED ANOTHER GOAL - HAVE LOST OVER 20KG!!!

Jumped on the scales this morning after a few days of not looking and have reached one of my big goals - I have now lost a total of 20.6kgs and am sooo stoked!

Today is day 31 of my mission and I am happy to report that I'm still going strong.. it's so easy to be motivated when the weight is comming off quickly!

Have done a couple of decent walks this week, its been crazy busy with work and traveling but have managed to keep up 5-6km per day on average. Have done four weight training sessions on the arms this week,and upped the weight yesterday - feeling it today. My little brother Steff showed me a couple of lifting exercises for working on your pecs..one in particular is a killer(thanks Steff)! Have realised that laughing helps me when im doing weights - might be due to endorphins (is that how you spell it? hmmm might just start calling them endolphins) endolpins being released into the system are supposed to make you happy right? well whenever my arms turn to jelly and I am facing a realistic fear of dropping 26kg's of dumbell into my face I cant helpbut crack up laughing - it gives you a little extra boost and helps you get through the third set of 15...especially from 12 to 15 - those last three lifts are seriously an effort!

Have also decided that I should start doing sit-ups after my weights session also to build muscle and help with the skin factor.. havent done a sit up in years, geez it's been hard enough just getting up out of a seated position (heh) let a lone actually doing it for fun... managed to do 30 lastnight which I guess is a good start!

Am thinking I will go for a walk to the vid store soon and drop off some dvds. The weather outside is absolute she-ite so im going to have to talk myself into it!...because I plan to go out and dance for a few hours tonight with my mate Sarah Ive been rationalising to myself that I dont need to go for a walk - luckily my disatisfaction with being big and unfit is still top of mind! Im going to go put my walking shoes on...

Peace.
