Hi All,
Thanks for all the comments!!
So week 6 - Day 4!! where is this year going let alone my challenge!
Its hubbys B'day on 1st July and that to me always signals how quick the year has gone!!
We are both 30 this year!!! ARGGHHHH I have a real problem with getting to 30! So I'm going to be 20/10.
This week is going well, I have a cold that I thought I has escaped but no I had to go and get it!! I have still been Ok to teach all my classes,(9 so far!) I couldn't do my long run on Monday though as my nose was totally blocked and my throat was sore.
So did it on Tuesday but reduced the distance a little, then Bodyattack on Wednesday and Thursday was enough cardio for those days!!
Plan to do Short High Intensity run today, then a Bodybalance class, then driving to Cannington to do my handover for my GFC position!!!! YAYYY!!
FAMILY NEWS!!! My little boy has blown us away this week with his maths skills!!! All kids at his school (and other schools) were invited to partcipate in the 2006 International Competitions and Assessments for Schools - Mathematics test. All organised and set up by the Uni of NSW. So we paid the fee, sent back the form and heard nothing more, until he came home and said he had done it.
So of course we asked how he went, we got the usual (those without kids - they get to a certain agae and everything becomes 'alright' and they don't disclose alot about their day without intense probing!) 'yeah, it was alright'.
UNTIL!!! he comes home on Wednesday with a certificate and report that you get sent with results on!!
HE GOT A HIGH DISTINCTION!!! (the highest!!) PLUS the report shows him a being top 10% for his year in WA, way above average in all sections of the test and in most sections over and above the range of year 5 scores in WA!!!
GO BRYCE!!!! Anyway, that is my proud mum moment!!! Sorry for going on and on!!
So onward for the weekend, I do plan a free meal with my hubby!!! We have go my dad babysitting!! (he is our only family here) for a couple of hours and we will go for lunch, should be nice, probably going to Hillary's Boat Harbour, those not from Perth, it is a gorgous hub of life, energy and beauty.
Anyway must dash, run to do and class to teach!! Will report on 1/2 way results next week.
Speak soon

4 weeks down, 8 to go!!
Me and my girl!!
Just loving this pic.
Me and Maddison on
our local beach Trigg,
in Perth.
Shes the only one
that finds me funny!!
Anyway, 4 weeks done and dusted!!!
4 week stats
3.1kg loss.
Skinfolds and measurements down.
Feeling good so far perhaps a little slack in weeks 2 & 3 with my food, had free meals and didn't wanT to and added little extras over the rest of the weekend!! but pulled in the reigns since and feeling really positive.
We have moved and I have the most gorgeous park on our doorstep now. The path round the outside is 2.4km, so have been running round and round and round and round for cardio!!
Have got a change in schedule soon with my Group Fitness Instructing, so hoping the body will respond well to that.
Also had some good news in that I have been asked to be 2IC GFC for Fitness First and get to do covers for the Group Fitness Co-ordinators. I have done 2 months at Murray St, the city club and am commencing a 3 month stint at the Cannington club, bit of travelling but hey, this is where I want to be so all good.
Have the In-Laws ariving from UK in 3 weeks so that will be good, the kids will love having Nanny & Grandad here!!
Anyway no more news for now, hope you are all well and THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH for all the comments, it's good to be back on track and blogging again.
Take care, Shar XXX
PS - Sue your looking fab, love the pic.

I'm Back!! Sorry for the Gap!!
I'm Back!!! So please keep checking in all you loveeeerrllleeeyyy ladies that posted comments!!
Anyway a quick re-cap.
Finished my challenge, lost some CM's, lost 3kg, and skinfolds did come down BUT decided against my photos being done as I knew deep down I hadn't made the changes I wanted to due to a bit of a poor effort in all respects really.
Was very disappionted in myself and felt like I had failed etc etc and although I preach the failure way of thinking is no good for body or soul I was feeling it myself,
UNTIL.........................................................I was browsing everyones blogs as I do daily and JODIE saved me!!! (I don't think she knows this!) I read this on her blog , see what
you think.......
The value of failure
The value of failure Failure is a normal and natural part of achievement.
When the failures come, learn from them and then move quickly along.
Failure is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing that can happen is to let the fear of failure prevent you from ever doing anything.
If your top priority is to avoid all failure, then you will surely fail.
For only by accepting and living with the possibility of failure can you succeed and achieve.
Failure is not the end of the world. It is merely another step on the pathway to fulfillment, wisdom and achievement.
Though you would never intentionally set out to fail, when failure does come the best thing to do is to gracefully accept what has happened.
That will enable you to gain the most positive value from it.
Then you can move right along to the next step, and soon you'll be a long way past the failure, filled with more wisdom and experience.
Let failure be, and achievement will surely come.-- Ralph Marston
Bearing in mind that this was my second attempt as my operation got in the way during my first challenge!!, then the fact of the complications and being re-hospitilized knocked me for six but again I felt that I had failed, by not recovering quickly.
OK so 1st one, out of my control but gutted I didn't complete it, 2nd one some changes but just down to me not putting in with everything I have , with some outside factors too, but hey no excuses.
So I read this feeling like I had failed, so what was I going to do, not try again and just get there when I get there? be scared to try again incase I just don't make it AGAIN!! ?
NO- I am going to use everything to my advantage and learn form it, not be scared find the courage to go again.!! and that is what I have done, I am now into another challenge and plan on blogging again and reporting in general about my training etc.
So far so good with training, food could be a little better, still struggle at weekends, particularly last weekend when we were moving all weekend! BUT on top of it now and realise that to learn from my past mistakes/blips I need to just focus and get on with it.
Hope you are all well and look forwrd to your comments!! Oh and Thanks JODIE!!
