Finally my BMI is 29.4. finally made the overweight range I'm no longer obese. Woo Hoo.
Lost another 1.6 today. Now I'm 85.9 kg. I thats 14 kilos gone since pre season and 30 kilos since 2009. When I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabeties. I was at the doctor yesterday and shed said that when I get my BMI down to 24 I can come of the diabeties medication. Maybe my blood pressure medication as well. This will save me a lot of money every month. The price of healthy is low...

Can you believe I have made 87.5 kg. I don't know why but this number has made me so happy. maybe because I have been so stagnant for the last couple of weeks. I'm really loving this program and I'm going to do it again next round. The motivation you recieve on the forums is just fantastic. The videos from Mish are fantantic too. I bought my first pair of size 16 shorts off the shelf in Target the other day, and I have dropped one bra size.

Just had to shout it too the world..

My how time flies, we are almost up to week 7, things have been going real well, have lost 10.7kg in total I'm very happy with that. This week was a little low on the weight loss scale, but I am a bit hormonal so this may account for the small loss, it was still a loss. I have been eating very clean, this week the exercise was a bit light on as my left knee is just a bit tender so I gave myself a couple of light days, I should be able to get back on track on Sunday. Tomorrow is my rest day as it is the busiest day of my week and I just can't fit exercise in.

Well it looks like I'm going to be a once a week updater. Since daylight saving started I have been having a hard time getting up to exercise in the morning. It is just so dark at 5.00am. This morning though I got Steve up so he could come with me. I only had .5 hour but I managed to burn 250 cals, this is better than nothing. I had to start work at 7.15am looking after the kids I used to nanny and I'm not finishing till 7.15pm. Very long day but I love being with these kids they are such sweeties. Diet has been going really well till we made choc chip cookies today as an activity. I only had one though, they just smelt soooo good. I will count the calories as a snack maybe even my two snacks for the day. I haven't looked at how many calories in one cookie.

I'm really loving the food on the menu it is so nice and yummy, not like diet food at all. Tomorrow I'm going to do my time trial again. I will be really interested to see how I go. I can run so much further than I could ever run before.. Back tomorrow after the time trial and fitness test.

Ok, I have been a bit quite. Just a little busy with exercise, and cooking. Aren't the meals fantastic? I loved the Prawn Pad Thai, it was so yummy, we will be having that again. the other dish I've cooked a few times is Cajun Chicken, this is a bif favourite in my house. I think we had it 3 times last week. Looking forward to Laksa tonight.

The exercise is still going well, I'm not having any trouble getting up at 5.30am. Next week might be a little different as Daylight saving starting on Sunday, and 5.30am being so dark.
Tomorrow we have an appointment at Revesby Workers to join the gym. I will then be able to go there when it is too dark in the morning until it lightens up again.

Week 2 weigh-in I lost 1.5kg. was very happy with this. Have lost 6.5kg since the beginning of pre-season. Tomorrow is weigh in day again an I'm hoping for another 1.5kg.

See you tomorrow.

Today was a good workout, up at 5.30am and out the door by 6.45am we walked 6.41km, even tackled Valley Rd. This is a huge hill and I got all the way to the top with out stopping HR got to 153 and boy could I hear the heart pounding in my ears. But you know what, I will be doing that again, because it felt real good to get to the top.

Here is a photo of my HR monitor  to show Cals burnt. Still can't get to 500.

This is what happens to your smart phone when you throw it at your husband when you are cranky with him for not concentrating on the timing of your time trial.

No not really, I dropped it on the ground face down on concrete 5 minutes after completing the time trial in 8.44 minutes. have been told it is cheaper to buy a new one that have it repaired. good thing it still works, just a bit more decorated on the front screen. But I was cranky with him for not concentrating on the timing though.

Weigh In Day

Today is weigh in day...

Got up this morning got undressed had a wee and guess what? .8 kilo gone. thats 5 kilos since the start of the preseason. I'm very happy with that.

While I was in Bankstown yesterday looking for some where that I could have my 3 months old smart phone fixed that I dropped and smashed the screen, while I was doing my time trial, I walked past the book shop and noticed Michelle was going to be there signing books today. So after yoga today I took myself up to Bankstown and bought the Crunch Time cookbook, I then waited patiently for the book signing. Here is the result..

A day three photo with Michelle. She is lovely, asked me if I had done all my preseason tasks and if I had watched the live video yesterday. Which I did. She then asked me how I went on weigh in day and I told her I had lost 0.8kg, I told her I had started watching what I ate and exercising preseason, and she asked how much I had lost. I told her 5 kgs. She said that was fantastic. I told her I would see her at the finale party for an after photo she said your on....

Better go and start tomorrow nights dinner as I want to get a walk in this afternoon.
