Oh my gosh. I'm two thirds of the way through my 6 week program already. That makes me sad :( I dont want this to end becoz I'm just loving the results so far!! I would love to do the next stage of the program, but unfortunately due to financial issues (as in I have no money!) I wont be able to at this stage. Someone wana pay for it for me !?!?
Anyways, I had weigh in today and measurements taken to get a true gauge on how my progress is. And I'm so excited about the results. In the last two weeks I have lost another 1.4kgs, 3.32% body fat (which is 2.87kgs of pure fat!), and another 5cms. Which brings my totals for the 4 weeks so far to:
4.2 kgs lost
21 cms lost
6.26% or 5.98kgs body fat GONE!!
Thats super exciting. I hope to never see that yucky stuff again.
My week went reasonably well. I did all my exercise as prescribed to me and ate as I should have. My two treat meals were lunch at my aunties place for a family get together and also the YUMMIEST EVER eggs benedict. I have never tasted a breakfast so yummy. Not only did it have holandaise sauce (obviously!) but also balsamic sauce stuff and basil pesto. AND came out on corn fritters (rather than english muffins) and spinach. all round GOOD FOOD! anyone in hamilton nz, i HIGHLY recommend you head along to mozaik (at the base) for breakfast one morning. They have an extensive menu and all the food is yum yum yum!
So, 2 more weeks of this body blitz left. I plan to keep up the exercise and eating regime to keep heading towards my goal weight. I will have to find another way of keeping myself accountable to someone who can monitor my progress. hmmmm.....any ideas?
Ooh and one more thing, Im SUPER excited about seeing my before and after photos from this week. I know they are going to be amazing :)

woopsie daizy
so I just looked at my last post and it was 10 days ago!! woopsie! i blame the hens night I've been organising (and ofcourse participating in!) for stealing all my time and brain power (i am down a bit of that anyway. people call it baby brain).
ANYWAYS, things have been going really good :) shetas workouts have been really kicking my arse. this week's one especially. all i have energy to do after ive completed it is to lay on the floor and die for 10 minutes. but it feels so good later :) ive only managed to shave 1.40 off my time this week. obviously its making my body work in differnt ways that its not used to! and ofcourse we have the cardio treadmill sprints. which i am surprisingly enjoying. the 30 minutes flys by (well as much as it can 'fly by') and i always leave the gym feeling refreshed and renewed.
the results are going great too. last week we did measurements and I was really happy with the results (after 2 weeks):
Total weight down - 2.8kgs (loss of 3.54%)
Loss of cms - 16!
Body fat % - down by 2.94!
Lean muscle - up by 0.31kgs :)
I had a WW weigh in today and was pleased to see the scales reported a 500g loss for the last week. I was really worried i wouldnt be so lucky with a naughty weekend away with the girls for one of my best mates hens nights. I did try to keep control, but found i was thinking about so many other things that i ate without thinking, or noticing what was going in my mouth! the alcohol that was consumed (not a great amount though) wouldnt have helped the eating situation either! thus some chips and dip, garlic bread and sausages were consumed. NOT ON MY EATING PLAN, but it was my treat night. I was kind of hoping to be better behaved than that though. I didnt want to ruin all my weeks hard work. fingers crossed for a half decent weigh in still on wednesday.
in other news, papa patch has badly hurt himself, putting his exercise regime on pause for the moment. i really feel sorry for him about it. i know its frustrating the heck out of him to be able to see me exercise and go hard, when he cant. we had such a good routine going there. hopefully he gets the stitches out of his arm later this week so that he can actually start getting back into it. Ive tried to encourage him to keep up with the eating plan and he is mostly. but there have definitely been a few more treats in there that should have. its so hard seeing him eat them when i know i cant. and I WONT GIVE IN!
i dont know what we are going to do about our bet now, with this little set back. we will have to talk about it and see what happens i guess. such is life i guess :)

da-da-da-dummmmmmmm!!!!
official week 1 weigh in - 2.6kgs!!! yahoo!
i know that is huge for a week, but being the first week I know that a large portion of that will be water weight, but man it feels good :) and Papa patch lost 2.9!! wow, im gonna have to watch him. cant let him get ahead of me in the game. I WILL WIN!
the new circuit that we went through yesterday is definitely a step up in intensity, being that it includes burpies :-/ i dont think i have ever met anyone that actually likes those things! but i know that they are super good for you, so a-burping i will go.
anyways, off to class now. better start working on my assignment :-/

Check in
Hey guys :) just thought I'd check in to let ya know how the weeks going. I'm sitting in class at the moment posting this off my phone, so please excuse the lack of grammar.
My week has been great! I've completed all my exercise (not quite on the 1000 star jumps and 200 lunges, but that's my plan tonight). I'm so happy to say that I have cut over 3 mins off my circuit time and thought I was well on my way to winning the first weeks mini challenge and getting me a 20 massage. Alas, not to be. Damn mr papa patch managed to knock 5 mins off his time!! Damn him. But well done at the same time, quite an accomplishment.
Food has been great too. Have stuck exactly to the program as required. Had 2 treat meals (which were stated that I have); one being some short bread biscuits and a milo for morning tea one day and then burger fuel yesterday for lunch. And man it tasted good!!
I had a weigh in on Monday at weight watchers (which was only 5/7 of my first week but just happened to be how it worked) and I had lost 2 kgs!! So excited. It's a good indication to what the scales might say tomorrow morning at official weigh in. I'm super excited!!
Will post again tomorrow, see ya then! X
Ps - thought id share this gorgeous photo of my little man playing on his drum. He's growing up so fast!!

so far so good....
half way through week 1 and im happy with how its going :)
eating has been great. I have had my treat morning tea (4x shortbread biscuits and a milo), but am yet to have my treat dinner. i cant decide what i want to have!!!
exercise has also been going well. i am meant to have a rest day tomorrow, but swapped it for the circuit day i was supposed to do yesterday as i was running on 4 hours sleep (thank you power-chucking baby patch) so i DID NOT have energy to go to the gym. it was hard enough getting through uni for the day. but ill be up first thing tomorrow and be at the gym to go hard out on my circuit. because, you see, DP and i have added another little wager into our 6 week adventure. as well as who loses the highest percentage of fat, we have decided to have weekly competitions. each week when we go and see our trainer, she gives us a new circuit for the week that we run through with her (and she times us) and then we have to complete it twice more before we see her again a week later. when we go through it twice more we have to time ourselves to try and improve our time and push ourselves harder. therefore, the weekly winner will be the person who improves their time the most. the reward this week will be a 20 min massage, ooh so good!
so, my question to all my readers is this: whats you suggestion for future week competition rewards?? either comment below or on my FB page (link to the left <-------------------------)
