23 Homeward stretch

I have to say I did indulge a little more than usual last week. The worst part being more than a few wines on Friday night. Nothing to get annoyed about though, as each day is a new day, and one blow out won't ruin all my hard work. What was annoying was being too tired yesterday to exercise. I managed to get to the gym this morning though, and squeak in my three work outs.

My second time around the Hagley fitness track with Ron on Thursday was great. Weather was lovely and warm and there's a great feeling of achievement, and that you've worked some neglected muscles pretty hard for several days afterwards.

I've been contemplating the tri that Jacquie sent out, and wondering if I'm going to be able to fit it into my week. I'd like to at least have one go to see how long it takes me. Out of the three, the biking part is the biggest unknown quantity as I never get on a bike at the gym - unless it's a spin bike, of course.

This week is the start of the new self defense for fitness rec programme and Pioneer. That should be awesome fun. I've certainly tried some great new forms of exercise over the last eight weeks or so, and many of them I plan to continue.

Tomorrow, I'll walk to work, and maybe try and get out for a jog at lunch. Tuesday will be more walking and pilates. Wednesday is the new rec programme and netball if they don't clash. Thursday, I'm not sure yet :-)

22 Fourth Weigh In

August 27th
Weight: 64.4kgs
Body fat: 32.8%

September 23rd
Weight: 63.3kgs
Body fat: 32.1%

October 14th
Weight: 62.3kgs
Body fat: 31.5%

November 1st
Weight: 62.4kgs
Body fat: 27.3%


So effectively no weight loss - I don't count 100grams as a gain as I'd eaten lots and had work clothes on - but an oddly large decrease in body fat %.

This is a fab result, if it's correct. It's a body fat competition, afterall. I was hoping at the last weigh in to get my body fat under 30% at the end of the 12 weeks, so I can't honestly believe I knocked that target off since the last weigh in. It feels really good.
