Days 36 - 42 - 6 weeks down

Well well..... last weeks little loss must have been the impending period just as I thought.

This week I dropped another 1.6 kg
Total loss for 6 weeks - 6.4kg

Going well and really trying to pick it up a bit now as I'm sure I'm gonna start plateau-ing soon! People have been commenting this week, almost like there was a switch and my body has just instantly changed shape! YAY, feeling good.
I am so pissed at myself though for messing about playing mind games with myself, basically all year! What a waste, all that energy. We live, we learn! No more messing, no more wasted time, lifes to short.

Was sick at the beginning of the week with a bad stomach but soon back into it, 2 weights sessions in, a 45 min run along the beautiful coast path from North Beach to Hilary's and back and taught Bodyattack and Bodybalance as usual.
My week starts on a Sunday so have already got 1 Bodyattack, 1 Bodybalance and a run on the board.

Other stuff

4 weeks 5 days until the UK!!!!!!! I am peeing my pants already!! I'm soooooooo excited.

Fitness First had a 'Party in the Park' to celebrate our 6th club in WA (the one I'm GFC at) on Saturday, the purpose as to promote a active and healthy lifestyle to the community, everyhing was free, lots of kids stuff - face painting, mini bootcamp, Perth Glory Soccer, Group Fitness Demos (I did Bodybalance on the Foreshore! it was fab), mini tennis, salsa demos, bouncy castles, etc etc.
The weather was fab, the staff were all pump and did well to last all day in the heat and people that came along seemed to enjoy it.

before I left to go set up.




















Hubby has offically started his PTC position! Going well and he starts on his own properly this week.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the results from the bloggers that were at the National this weekend. I find it so inspirational that people have the dedication to train to get up there on stage.

Well thats about it from me, have a great week,

Days 29 - 35 / 5 weeks down

Hey to all that drop by,

Well this week has been ne of my best weeks for food and exercise!!

So a tad dissapointed when I get on the scales for my weekly weigh in and it tells me
0.4kg loss!!

Yes I can hear some of you saying, 'it's still a loss', agreed and I am greatful it is still dropping BUT I have worked so hard this week.

Going by the size of my 'bossum' and severe pain there , I would say my period is imminent. If my boobs have swollen then I must be holding fluid elsewhere?

Anyway perhaps it will all pay off next week?

Weekly loss - 0.4kg
Total loss for 5 weeks - 4.8kg

Other stuff

6 week today until I get on the plane to the UK!!! I hate planes, but I'm so looking forward to getting on this one!

My sis is getting excited!, e mails to tell me how long it is etc.

I have been doing my BODYSTEP training today and have another full on day tomorow including our presentation and assessment! ARRRRGHHHHH!!

Will let you know how I go.

OMG!! How could I forget! Guess what?

WHAT I HEAR YOU CRY!!!

My hubby went for an interview last week to become a PTC (Personal Training Co-ordinator) with Fitness First, we heard on Thursday that someone internal had gotten the club that had the position, but of course that left that club open and my bestest boy got the offer!!! YAY!

He took it and now has a permanent, Part time (30 hours) position, the few less hour than full time will allow him to stay active in his personal training so great news all round. WELL DONE HUBBY!

Kids are fine, my little one is getting excited about going on the plane! she thinks that those that have visited us here in Oz and that we have aken back to the airport to go home on the plane are still on the plane!! isn't that just cute, funny how their minds work!
I pity my sis, if we go on my bubs theory, she's been up there flying around for a year, gone through the last 5 months of her pregnancy and given birth up there! :)

No more news for now, other than to say WELL DONE TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE HAD COMPS RECENTLY AND GOOD LUCK FOR THE NATIONALS & NO!!
I love reading all about your journeys and your blogs are so inspiring, I hope to be there myself 'one day'.

Have a great weekend and good start to the week.

Little loss, better than nothing? Days 14 - 21

Hey all

Just a quick update as I am a little sick again, bloody throat infection this time.

Anyway week 3 done and a loss of 1/2 a kilo. so all up 3.4kg total for the first 3 weeks.

Not bad considering I fell off for the day last weekend! also have been sick so only got in a few cardios and 1 weights session.

Good news though - I am now having 2 personal training sessions a week (with Hubby!) to make sure I do at least 2 weights per week. Had one on Tuesday and my butt was soooooooo sore, bloody squats and walking lunges.

Anyway only 9.30pm and I'm off to bed, two classes to get through in the morning.

See ya soon

Shar

Week 2 - DONE! Days 8-14

Hi All

Just want to say a Big Thanks to all who commented, its great to receive comments and I must start logging in more so I comment back!! not just read everyones blogs!

Arnajade - Your right I can definately lose this 9kg!! Feeling a little stronger everyday I get through! Thanks

Rebecca - Yes we can!! Keep pushing and we will make it hey!

Carolyn - You have done soooo well, 21kgs is fantastic!! Keep pushing on.

Rene - Yes, I know that I have done it before so I do know I can do it, I can be so energy zapping sometimes if you don't stay focussed and you let negative energy around you bring you down. All good now.

Hey CJ - I did hang in there and got through the week just fine! Thanks

Hilds - Thanks Hilds I have been doing the day to day thing and it has helped me this time round, focussing on just getting through one day isn't as big a task as a week.

Anyway.............

Weigh day was Saturday - 1.2kg lost!!!! YAY

Total so far - 2.9kg, clothes feeling a little difference, lost the bloaty flat look, feeling great.

I have taught 7 Bodyattacks this week so that well and truly took care of my cardio, although I did manage to throw in 2 powerwalks pushing Maddi in her baby jogger.
3 bodybalance classes, so that takes care of alot of things! Flexibilty, mobility, definately my Core strength training and my relaxation!!

My only down fall is I still have to introduce my weights in, that is my aim this week without fail!! so thats what I need to be reporting on.

Had a great week this week. My son Bryce just keeps blowing us away!! He won his 200m at schools sports day the other week and came second in the 75m sprint so he got choosen to represent the school for the INTERSCHOOL ATHLETICS CARNIVAL, 8 schools go and compete.

200m isn't really his thing but he ran so hard, bless him and got third!!

75m Sprint is more his race, he got 5th last year and was disapointed in himself! he didn't really take in that he was now against the best from each school, I did all the 'its the taking part' talk etc.

Anyway, this year, bang goes the gun, my hearts pumping so hard I think I might pass out, I remember how sick I used to feel when competeing in stuff!!

Hes running his little 10 year old legs off, as he approaches he looks to be in third!!!!
I start going crazy!! shouting and jumping up and down etc (I had Bryce very young, therefore I'm alot younger than alot of the other mums and they all appear to be quite reserved!!)
then he must have heard me or found something else as he just gave more and came 1ST!!!!!!!

He was so chuffed!, it is the taking part, but dam, its good when they win!!! :)

Sorry for that rather long
and probably boring for
some, proud mum moment !!


Here is a picture of Bryce
and Maddi on the day,
Bryce is holding his
First place ribbon up!!



Anyway, thats my news for this week!

Have a great week and I will try and post mis week and again when I have gotten through this next week! Hopefully with another success on the scales!

Have a great long weekend!
