Current: 81.5kgs

Since last weigh in: -0.2kgs
This round: -2.4kgs
Total: -11.5kgs

Well, I'm pretty happy with my fitness test. Knocked another 30 seconds off my 1km! And equaled or bettered everything else.

I had a smoking week 3, nailing both eating and exercise the best yet in this round or the last, but this week hasn't been so great. Last Friday I was under 80kgs! Then climbed all the way back to 84 early this week. So stupid! Need to keep it under control and have weeks like last week. I felt so good - strong, fit and also trim. No bloated belly! At least my cms have gone down pretty much everywhere except boobs (which I'm all good with!) and arms. My arms and chest are definitely looking much more toned though. Generally speaking I'm happy and looking forward to dropping another couple kgs in the next two weeks before xmas. Need to be well under 80kgs - I can do it!

Yay! After a pretty dismal week off, I'm back to my lowest from last round exactly. Didn't quite make my goal of under 80, but I'm happy I'm now back on track. Going to need to work really hard as my goal is <74 before Christmas, and that's 8kgs in only 5 weeks! No more excuses. I want this!

Have been up and down a bit this week. Doesn't help being this time of the month...

Fitness test this morning was a little demoralising to being with, as I started with the 1km run and was slower than last time! I felt slow too - really lethargic and couldn't get going. My ankle was bothering me a bit. Thinking I may need to warm up a little more before next time.

It did get better though. I beat every other test, and also lost quite a few cms. Should have been better, but still can celebrate how far I've come! Just added up my cms - I've lost 22cm overall. Pretty happy with that! Still a long way to go, and no where near where my goals were, but I'm on my way, and I am feeling so much better! I think I need to reassess my goals, as is pretty unlikely I'm going to get to 70kgs in the next 4 weeks. I think I should aim for 78kgs. That's another 6, so still be hard, but I can do it!

Looking at the photos, there's quite a difference between the before and now, but not much between week 4 and week 8. Need to work hard so there is a bigger difference by week 12! Also need to make sure I get the lighting and which way I face more consistent!

Week Four Weigh In & Mini Milestone

Week 4 Fitness Test Results

Starting: 90.4kgs (pre-season: 93kgs)
Current: 86.4kgs

Since last weigh in: -0.2kgs
Since start: -4.0kgs (including pre-season: -6.6kgs)

Feels like the week since the last weigh in went so fast! Was still making bad decisions end of last week and had a couple blow outs over the weekend but am back on track. So glad I went down from last week. Should have gone down more, but at least it's moving in the right direction! Now just need to keep that happening while I am in Queenstown. Going to be a challenge!

Did the weigh in on Wednesday as usual, but the rest of the fitness test and measurements on Thurs. Happy with the fitness test results, but thought the measurements would have been better. Still, total 11cm lost in 4 weeks is pretty good I guess! If you average all the percents out, it's 42%. Not sure what that means, but it's good right? Photo looks better too. Still lots to go, but making progress!

Week 4

Week 3 Weigh In

Starting: 90.4kgs (pre-season: 93kgs)
Current: 86.6kgs

Since last weigh in: +0.4kgs
Since start: -3.8kgs (including pre-season: -6.4kgs)

Some bad decisions lead to the small gain.  Disappointed as at one stage last week I was 85.2.  Still, I know the reason why, and I know how to fix it.  And really, it's only a 0.4 gain, and it's during that time of the month.  Could have been a lot worse!  Just have to ensure next week's is far better!

Week 2 Weigh In

Weight: 86.2kgs
Since last weigh in: -1.3kgs
Since start: -4.2kgs
Including pre-season: -6.8kgs

Not as far down as I would have liked but still great progress.  Looking forward to doing full measurements in week 4!

Week 1 Weigh In

Weight: 87.5kgs
Lost since start: -2.9kgs
Including pre-season: -5.5kgs

 Go me!!

Fitness Test & Measure Up

I enjoyed the fitness test and thought I did quite well considering.  Don't really have much to gauge the measurements against, but taking the photos was NOT fun.  This really brought home to me how much weight I have put on.  Do NOT want to be looking like that in my bikini for the beach holiday with my family over Christmas.  Looking forward to doing something about it!  Can't wait to be feeling and looking amazing!
