So its been ages since my last post which is just slack really
but in my defence the last week has been pretty intense.
Unfortunately I have a very unwell family member and have been
spending a lot of time back in Tauranga.
Weight wise things are still ticking over - slowly at the
moment now.. my weight is 126kg :-)
Have definitely felt the cold over the last fortnight with
getting the man flu and all so have begun a garage conversion
into a home gym - have a treadmill, rowing machine, bike and
weights..just need a plasma and stereo and I will be sorted!
Ive started walking up Mt Albert now! for 3 days after the
first time i was quite pathetic - my legs and bum hurt! but now
that I've done it a couple of times I'm getting used to it and
not taking on the ache :-). Went for a really nice walk with Dad and Deb in the weekend,
we went along pilot bay, round the mt, down the main beach and
through the end of town back to pilot... bumped into a couple
of mates on the walk too which is always nice. I also managed
to catch up with some mates - Alana and Warren, Tam and Fe and
Craig! Was stoked that Fe and Craig have just passed the 12week
point - to think a little baby in 6months time! yay. :-)
Have added a couple of different lifts in my weights regime to
focus on different muscle groups, no doubt I will be feeling
sore this week and moving a little awkwardly!
I have a conference coming up in Queenstown early July and
want to have lost at least 40kg by that point. I'm pretty sure
that that will be sweet considering that Ive already lost
37.5kg.. although it seems to be slowing down (i think), its
odd i seem to lose minimal weight Monday to Thursday and then
lose a couple of kg in the weekend??? - I don't mind as long as
it continues!
I've had to buy some clothes since my last post - nothing was
fitting and I was over wearing my jeans in the style of MC
hammer! purchased a nice and comfy pair of Origins, a black
billabong tshirt hoodie and a very cool Palmers button up shirt
- which is a wee bit too small so its a motivational buy at
this point - very much looking forward to it.
Still have my October work conference in Melbourne in mind,
would like to be 55kg down by that point - might have to start
thinking about going to a real gym and getting a PT in
August..?? will need to check the budget!
Am hoping the weather might fine up this week, Jase has his
4 year old nephew here Saturday night so we are thinking
about going to Cornwall park for a picnic with friends and
going for a walk up One Tree Hill... hopefully the sun come to
the party!
Went through all of my clothes when I was sick and created a
couple of rather large piles, not allowing myself to keep any
clothes that are too big for me... have a couple of cool
ripcurl hoodies and fancy shirts that i might sell on trade me
but other than that I might just drop them into the op-shop...
have decided to keep a horrific pair of jeans as a reminder!
Eeek will post a picture at the very end once I've reached my
goal weight..shameless, i feel awkward just thinking
about it! hahaha.
Have a great week, hopefully post again soon
Peace. M
