Early weigh in.

I decided to weigh in a couple of days early this week. Mainly because I am going out tonight and will be having a few drinks and more than likely eating too much. But also seeing as I didn't weigh last week, I wanted to see the results from this week. :)

Very happy overall with a 1kg loss for the week, or 2 weeks if you take into account me not weighing in last week due to AF.

I didn't exercise every day, I skipped Thursday & Friday, but plan some form of exercise today. Probably the cross trainer & treadmill I think.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. :)

Today I faffed around all morning doing the laundry, Facebook, more laundry, then made some banana bread for school lunches. By this stage I couldn't face the thought of getting on the treadmill for a mindless walk, so I ended up putting on my shoes, slapped on some sunscreen and got out in the fresh air.

I probably did about half an hours walk, with a few hills thrown in. But best of all I felt great once I got home. :)

Exercise 18/5/10

10 minutes on cross trainer (boy my calves were sore from yesterday)
20 minutes on treadmill

Exercise for 17/5/10

15 minutes on Cross Trainer going pretty steady the whole time.
25 minutes on Treadmill at 5.5km/hr.

No Weigh In Today

Morning. :) And what a grey & dismal morning it is in Brisbane. Hubby is home today so he's doing the school run for me. I have a heap of housework to get through, but am planning on exercising first. I figure I might give that cross trainer a go. I plan to aim for 10 minutes to start with as I remember how brutal they are the first few times. LOL

Anyway, I decided not to weigh in today as AF has reared her ugly head and she's never nice to me on the scales. Plus I need to put some new batteries in the scales. And how cold is it of a morning now!! Ugh to stripping off for weigh ins. LOL :D

I must stop procastinating now and get moving.

You've Got To Love A Bargain!!

One of the streets in our estate had a few houses having a garage sale this morning. So I headed down with 2 of the boys in tow. I managed to pick up a few things, some tupperware and a brand new backpack. I spotted a cross trainer there for $50, but ummed and ahhed about it all morning.

So after we'd been home and had breakfast I sent DS15 to see if it was still for sale. It was still there and was now $40, so DH went down and had a good look over it, and got it for $30. It is perfect! Now we just have to find a spot for it. It will fit in the family room where the treadmill is but DH's grandfather's old recliner might need a new home. I've been on at it for years now to get it restored, but I think it's past that now. :(





I've once again been feeling pretty unmotivated this weekend and have only exercised the once. I'm hoping I will feel motivated with new equipment to use. :)

Happy Mother's Day

Some mornings I would love to sleep in, but once I wake the toilet calls and my back seizes up just lying there, so I have to get up.

Two out of my three boys are up and husband is reading the paper, with not a single Happy Mother's Day from any of them. Oh well, I guess I am in here with my coffee. A busy day planned with DS13's football game, laying my Nan's plaque at the cemetry, and lunch with the inlaws, followed by a visit to my family.

Technically weigh in isn't until tomorrow but I decided to weigh in a day early seeing as I would be having some form of Italian for lunch. I also had a few drinks last night, I know breaking my alcohol ban, but anyway, I weighed in at 1.1kg lighter. And would you believe I hadn't really exercised all week!

Monday we did the big bushwalk, then I did nothing until yesterday when I went for 2 walks along our local walking tracks. First one in the morning with a friend and then later in the afternoon with same friend's family to feed the ducks, though the kids ended up feeding the horses as the ducks weren't interested.


Wishing everyone (well all 7 of you followers) LOL, a lovely Mother's Day. :)

New Weigh In Monday

Yayy I survived the weekend with no alcohol passing my lips. Ok, if I'm being totally honest I will admit to a sip of DH's beer, but that was it. No rum whatsoever! :D I was rewarded with an 800g loss this week. I'm on a roll! :)

I never ended up exercising yesterday, but today we went for a drive up to Mt Glorious, and went on a 5km bushwalk. Most of it uphill on the way back, so I worked up quite a sweat. Though my youngest wasn't too happy with me charging ahead and kept yelling out for me too stop. LOL





We then had a lovely picnic lunch and stopped at Samford for a play at the park, and then a Macca's ice cream on the way home. I was good and never had one, just a few licks of DH's.

Lovely Walking Weather

It is beautiful weather here at the moment, so I slathered myself in sunscreen, donned a hat, grabbed my phone & earphones and hit the pavement. Well make that pavement, gravel road and bushland.

I worked out I did close to 3km in just over half an hour. It's such a lovely area to walk in with lots of walking tracks beyond the golf course.

I've been thinking of doing the Bridge to Brisbane in August, so will need to up my walking to prepare.

A few of the sights I saw this morning.
