Tuesday night : Body Pump
Wednesday : free!
Thursday morning : Body Balance
Friday morning : Body Pump
Saturday morning : Zumba
Sunday : free!

New PT

I may (or may not, I can never remember) have blogged about signing up for a PT at the gym. I met with him the day he was going on 2 weeks holidays. I met with him coz I go to the gym 5 days a week and nothing's happening.

I've been talking to Andrew about going to his personal trainer. He's just up the road and Andrew's done really well with him (and Andrew's looking good! ;D).

Apparently, Trainer does couple's training. So we're going to do that. However, I have to have a few sessions with just him on my own before the couples one starts.

Today is Thursday. My first session is Wednesday. I'm freaking out already! I'm paranoid and nervous! At least we've already met. Still.

I feel like some of his people that he trains look at me like I'm dirt when I meet Andrew at training. One in particular is skinny (and thus my nickname for her coz I can't remember her name) and gives me that kind of look.

Anyway. I've seen how wrecked Andrew is when he gets home. Wrecked is good, I guess, but I still have Jensen and Eden to take care of.

BUT. I know I will see results. Quickly too, I hope.

Trainer seemed to laugh at the fact I was nervous! To add to the nerves, his workout place is at the little local shops. With floor to ceiling glass windows. That you can see into.

People are going to see me (and probably the neighbours) my fat jumping up and down and doing whatever he's going to make me do.  They're going to think snidly "keep going fatty" while I'm going to be thinking "keep going fatty" motivationally!

I CAN DO THIS!
Don't motivate, DEDICATE! I want to look fantastic for my 30th (which is a year and bit away folks). Next christmas would be great too! As would this birthday coming!

Is my 5kg by christmas too much of an ask?

PT

I had my start up PT session today. I've weighed in, been measured (felt humiliated but if the trainer felt embarrassed or grossed out, he didn't show it), been shown how to do some exercises to keep me going, coz as it happens, I've signed up just before he goes on 2 weeks leave! Must stay strong!

I don't know what the measurements are... BUT. This is a picture of my Wii Fit Mii... To hold myself accountable, I put this picture up. Hopefully, in a week's time, it's lost some weight ! :D

Week 2 weigh in

250g loss! Was hoping for more,  but ah well!

Sugarless September

A few months ago, my husband did "Dry July", where you don't have any alcohol for the month of July. So I decided that if he could do that, I could do something similar. I decided September would be a month of no sugar - so here it is = "Sugarless September".

So, no sugar means no

biscuits

chocolate

sugar in my tea

lollies

hot chocolate

ice cream 

custard 

Milo

You get the drift.

Despite the first Saturday (Sept 3rd) being a 1st birthday party, which looked like it was catered by Willy Wonka coz there were lollies EVERYWHERE! I managed to avoid temptation and odd stares by putting lollies on my plate anyway - for my son lol, then stashing them in the cold bag I had for the baby food. I've sealed them in bags and hid them in the pantry for October 1st! Anyway, despite the birthday party, the first week was easy! Day 8 though, I was craving something! Anything! But, I've persevered. 

September 1st was a Thursday, when I go to Body Balance at the gym at 8:30. So, I stepped on the scales (at the gym) on the first day (pretty convienient really!).  Pretty much the same weight I've been since Eden was about 7 weeks old. 

September 8 (beginning of week 2), those scales say a LOSS of 1.2kg! OMG.  Totally cheering!

I need to go and change the tickers now! :D

I didn't even realise that I wrote that last post! A little nervous about PT session.

Anyway.

My husband bought me the Wii Fit Plus! OMG, so excited. It says that I'm 500g lighter than I am at the gym!

I'm looking forward to using it everyday while the baby's alseep, and seeing progress and weightloss from  home. I've set a goal to lose 3kg in 2 months. Perfectly do-able.

Now, to stop mindless eating at home...
