Weigh In Day Tomorrow

Its weight in day tomorrow...

and I am feeling a little anxious!

Ive had a really good week and have been working out well.

Ive managed to be able to get the heart rate up really well

without putting undue stress on my knee.

In that way its been a much better week than last week.

Today i am 110.8 and I am pretty excited about that.

Ive sat at the weight for 2 days now.

Nearly at Para glide weight!

You couldn't be over 110 to Paraglide  in NZ!

Hence one the of reasons why I want to so much loose weight this time.

My husband sees my change of attitude.

he asked me last night how much I want to loose.

I told him the lot!

He said I can see you doing it this time..

I have a completely different mindset

and I have the tools to do it now as well.

He said how much I would like to get down to.

I told him 55.

I dont think I was even 55 in kindergarden!!!

He said that would be impossible for me!
And I tend to agree.

I was 79 and a size 14 last time I lost weight.

But one day at a time.

Thats been my attitude this time,

the years fly by so fast.. just a little each day and I will be there in no time!

Fingers crossed for a good result tomorrow.

Super Saturday Session

I discovered  on the 12 WBT Challenge site

the learn to run exercise program!

I have always wanted to learn to run, but not just run,

I wanted to be fit enough to enjoy the run, 

not just for weightless

but for pleasure!

Is there such a thing as running for pleasure?

Ive always wanted to be able to do that, since I was young.

I never could really when I was young,

although at school I did compete in the long distance events,

so at some point I must have been fit enough to run.

Maybe I just didnt appreciate it at the time!

I do remember competing in the Cross Country Events

and running the whole event.

So maybe the potential is there.....

Anyway

Here in Gunnedah we have an annual event called the

Gunnedah Gallop.

You can the do the 3 km run or the full 8km course.

I did compete one year in the 3km course and came really close to last!!

Hehe how embarasement!

I am thinking that this might be a great way to get fit enough to run in this event.

I did used to run 5kms when I was training several years ago!
But it was a push and I didnt enjoy it!

I want to be fit enough to enjoy it!

So I am going to do Michelle's run training program 

and see it i can endevour to get fit enough to enjoy running!

For the Super Saturday Session. 

I did my first 20 minute training session for running,

but I actually did 30 minutes!

And then I did the regular at home training and I tell you!
I was exhausted!!!

But its good! I felt good for doing the 30 minute session.

I will up the anti next Saturday!

Hopes and Dreams

OK, I confess I don't cook! I did cook, I cooked for 23 years! But since I've started working full time in my own shop Hubby cooks the meals as he likes his meal at 6pm and quiet often Im not even home by then.

So he cooks!

You ask him, he is a legend cook! He totally does rock the hooded barbeque!

I've now been making my own meals since Sunday when I started preparation,

I must say, its really relaxing to do the whole meal preparation thing when I get home from work rather than collapsing on the couch with a bottle of wine and cheese & Bikkies and obviously much better for me!

Its really amaising to me that I think I might be able to do this!

This week was my "mega" week with Valentines Day! Three weeks normal trade in 5 days, so its been late nights, early starts and then the start of Michelle Bridges ontop of it all. And I must say I am so proud of myself!! I can see myself doing this this time round.

I can see myself achieving my goals, so much so that tonight I have been on the internet planning my first big weight loss reward to myself! Travel to Cairns to do the AJ Hacket Bungy! Originally I was thinking I would after I got under 100kgs, but now I am thinking that when I get to 90 I will do this. If I get to 90 around end of June, this will be my reward to myself!

20 weeks to loose 22 kilos! I think that might be doable! Im sure of it! I will be there! Time to start saving some cash! Then by June 2014 I want to have reached my goal in weight loss and fitness because I have a mega daredevil holiday planned to NZ where I want jump off, and out of everything! I want to do a helicopter drop and ski down! How awesome will that be! And for a 46 year old woman by then I am totally going to have to be mega fit! 

No more wishing for me, Im gunna do this! Im going to live my life and achieve everything I have always wanted to do!
