Wondering how I'm going ?
I'm in such a positive headspace about all this. So far I have lost 7kgs. So it could have been more - but you know - I'm going, yay to me !!
The challenges have been sick kids - very sick for 3 plus weeks. Darn whooping cough. The twins had it , just at the very tail end of it now. Thankfully Neah's immunisations were up to date, and she was spared (well, the actual illness , but not I guess the disrupted family routine, less of my time, the impossibleness of a full nights sleep , thanks to the loud whooping etc, etc).
The best bits - feeling fitter - actually running on my treadmill - being inspired by the amazing transformations of the contestants on The Biggest Loser. I place my laptop on my treadmill and watch it online at a time convenient to me . And then play mind games with myself - if the contestants are being yelled at on a treadmill, etc, to go faster / harder etc , then I do that too ! LOL
A couple of weeks ago we had a wonderful extended weekend away to Thredbo / Mt Kosciuszko. I walked to the summit with Neah (her 10th birthday). Took 3.5 hours return (to the chairlift) and I burnt 1993 calories ! huge ! A really hard Super Circuit at the gym on a Saturday morning (V. v. early .. ) burns on average (for me) approx 650 cals.
