Week 9: My clothes are too big!

Current weight: 110.6kg

The biggest excitement for this week is that I now have a pile of clothes that no longer fit me because they are TOO BIG! I have never had this before, as I have slowly and surely piled on the weight over the past 15 years. I really want to bring this bag of clothes to the op-shop but I'm a little afraid that I will need them again, so my fall back position is putting them in a box in the shed. Hopefully the box will never be opened again until my grandchildren go through my possessions when I am dead and exclaim “I can't believe grandma was ever big enough to fit into these clothes!”
It has been business as usual at the gym. Working through my gym program, using the pool, and attending a class or two. After nine weeks I would have thought I would be over aches and pains after my sessions but they are still constant friends , although they are not as severe as when I first started exercising. As I change the exercises that I do, and attend different classes I am working different muscles at different intensities and this is still effecting my body. After the STEP class last week I had aching knees for days!
I had a personal training session with Suzy this week. She led me through some whole body exercises that really got the heart pumping, and the sweat flowing. We took some video footage to give you an indication of some of the exercises I did in our half hour session. As you can see I am getting a good work out. I am puffing, red-faced and glowing.
