Week 10: Under 110kg!

Current Weight 109.9kg

Look at that number above, I am finally under 110kg! These kilograms have been much harder to lose that I would ever have thought, but I am proud of the way I have lost them. I have lost these kilos as a result of all the hard work I have put in, both at the gym and it eating healthier. For the most part my blogs have been positive but all the changes I have introduced haven't been easy. Some days I really don't want to go to the gym, I cry because I want to stay home where it is warm and comfortable, I want to sit read a book and munch through a whole packet of corn chips. But I get over it, put one foot out the door and head for the gym because I know that all this is for my greater good. And also I have to write my blog and I don't want to say that I didn't go to the gym at all for an entire week :)
This week I had a PT session with Tracey. What I like about PT sessions is that my trainers make it so much easier to challenge myself and make me go further than I think I can. This time I went up to level 6 on the treadmill, to level 7 on the stair climber, squats with a 12 kg weight, and worked on my upper body pulling weights. It was quite a work out! This week I also swam 1.25 km, did a water workout, concentrated on mastering changes to my gym program, and did a Small Group Training session.
It was Mother's Day this week and instead of being showered with chocolates my lovely family gave me some resistance bands. These are fantastic. I have used them in classes and training sessions and now I can use them at home too. Although I enjoy (mostly) going to the gym some days it just doesn't work out. Sometimes the busyness of life gets in the way with sick kids, work, family and study. So I am building up a collection of portable gym equipment. So far I have hand weights, a exercise ball, and now resistance bands. Now I can create my own little exercise circuit when I can't get to the gym.
