a little scared....

hey guys,

so the sickness fairy has FINALLY left our house! all that is left is a little sniffle in baby patch's nose, but otherwise we are definitely nearing the top of the hill.

because it has been over 6 weeks since any kind of movement on the scales, i have decided that my arse needs a real good kicking. and the boot i have chosen comes in the form of a fabulous personal trainer. Sheta, at Evolve Personal Training, is a no-nonsense trainer that works hard, and expects the same from her clients. She's competed in 'figure' competitions and theres not much she doesnt know about the world of fitness. Anyone in NZ (or anywhere really!) can check out her webpage here. She does online training too, so you dont have to be in Hamilton to take advantage of her services. i used to train with sheta about 7 years ago, before i got slack and lazy haha. she knows me well, and (im not sure if this is a good thing) knows what im capable of. im kinda scared!

Anyway the next 6 weeks (starting Wednesday; its monday now) will contain the following (info taken from shetas website):
Forget wasting time with moving around the gym from machine to machine and learn functional training workouts - that are designed to be completed in 30 minutes or less! You will be taken through a new exciting routine each week.... and you will be timed! Your goal is to equal or better your time each week. Nutrition is also taken care of with this programme.

Week 1: Fitness test, 'before photos', full body measure (includes body fat with caliper measures), go through first week programme + cardio/goal set for next week.

Week 2: Overview of last week. Weigh in. Go through programme + cardio/goal set for next week

Week 3: Overview of last week, full body measure (includes body fat with caliper measures), go through programme programme + cardio/goal set for next week.

Week 4: Overview of last week. Weigh in. Go through programme + cardio/goal set for next week

Week 5: Overview of last week, full body measure (includes body fat with caliper measures), go through programme programme + cardio/goal set for next week.

Week 6: Overview of last week. Weigh in. Go through programme + cardio/goal set for next week

End Week 6: Repeat fitness test, 'after photos', full body measure (includes body fat with caliper measures), overview of programme.

its going to be a full on 6 weeks. the part that im most worried about is the eating. I just love food. I wish i could think of it as a fuel thing, but i just LOVE the taste of it.

so.....i have come up with a plan. Papa patch will be doing it with me too (hehe). this way there will be NO bad food in the house, and we can drag each other out the door to do the exercise. AND we have put a wager on it. for who can lose the most body fat %. if he wins, then i have to give him a hour long massage (pfft, who can be bothered doing that!), and if i win then he has to go and get a full wax. just coz i want him to feel the pain that us females feel often. mean? probably. but guys just dont get the lengths we go to for them!!

so the countdown is on. AF is due tomorrow, so hopefully she gets here, does her thing and goes away really quick and it doesnt get in the way of a fabulous start on wednesday!

watch this space people!! there is about to be much more space, and much less ME!

ooh and i found this pic, which i love and thought i would share :)
