Plus Size No More

I started my weight loss journey back in about September last year, I'd lose some weight, gain some, lose some more, gain more then lost, lose a little more, gain, gain and gain. So needless to say I wasn't very successful in reaching ANY of my goals!

But that is all different now! I have only been doing this challenge for 4 weeks so far and with WI on Sunday I lost 1.2kg's brining my running total weight loss so far to 5.9kg! Which meant I met two of my goals! 5kg and 5%!! How exciting to see that I am finally making a dent in the weight loss.

My next goal is to go under 100kg, oh to be double figures again :) 3.4kg's to go until that happens so I can't wait.

This Sunday's challenge was Bootcamp, and it was alot of fun, very challenging but still fun. We ran, dived and comando crawled our way through the afternoon. My muscles are all still feeling the pain even today.
I have my PT early this week, doing it tonight instead of my usual Friday night time because this Friday is a public holiday because of the local show. This one is a fitness test so I am feeling very nervous about it.
Wish me luck :)

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I'm still around.

I have almost completed 4 weeks of the 12 week challenge and it has been going really well! At the end of 3 weeks I had lost 4.7 kgs! I'm excited to see how I go at WI this Sunday to see if I hit the 5kg mark :)
5am mornings have become the norm now, I wake up, hop out of bed pop on my gym clothes, grab a bite to eat and head to the gym. I have a couple of friends doing the challenge with me so it has been very motivating knowing that I am meeting them there and not doing it alone.

My days are alternated between my cardio and weights program and every Sunday we have Sunday challenge with the whole group and all the trainers. Each week is a different challange. So far I have done Body Pump and Body Blance and then this weekend is Boot Camp! I'm excited but very nervous about this one!

It has been hard work every day of the week but I feel so good for doing it! We have personal training diaries where we record our calorie intake and exercise for each day. We also have a PT once a week and after our workout with the trainer they go through our diarys and point out bad choices, praise you for good choices and give you some pointers that might help you along the way.

I must admit that some days I have a bad day (especially if my whole body is aching!) where I think it would just be easier to stay the way that I am, but I have a very supportive husband and friends that are always telling me how proud they are of me for doing this and that always pushes me along.

I know that once this challenge is over that I will continue to go to the gym and make it part of my lifestyle. I can't wait to get a point where I am maintaining my weight and not trying to lose it! Even though it still a bit of time before I get there, this 12 wk challenge has most certainly put me back on the right track!
