Personal Trainer
I can’t believe that I was out the door on early today which is actually on time. As I was on Kindy parent help today which starts at 10.30am, I had to move everything early so I could get my Personal Trainer session in at the gym.
I had dropped Dayna off at 8am and Isaiah at 8.15am and then off to town I went. I got there ready to start my session a little early at 8.54am. Andrew was available to start then so off to the cycle for a warm up. From there he took me up to the weights room. He handed me 3kg weights for each hand and demonstrated the lunges he wanted me to do while lifting the weights. I had to do three sets. Each set I could feel the muscles in my thighs really working.
From here we moved to the Swiss ball. Now I have never laid on a Swiss ball the most I have done was 12yrs ago rolling down a wall on the Swiss ball into a squat. I was scared I would fall off it. Well I didn’t and was told my tummy muscles were good hence stabilising me on the ball. I had to do 12 repetitions of weights to work the chest and of course 3 sets. After these I could still feel my thighs and felt like I was wobbly.
I then had some abs exercises to do which I have been doing each workout and then the treadmill. I found the treadmill tough as my breathing was laboured due to the flu and also my mouth was very dry even though I was drinking my water. We finished with stretches and I left. Now this gym is above some warehouse type shops so there are 4 small flights of stairs to get you to and from the gym. So with the exercises I had done I struggled with the stairs.
I got to Kindy on time and we walked to the local library which is a treat a group gets once a month. When it is Isaiah’s turn I go as parent help. The kids love it. We all walked back again and then it was tidy up time, and home time.
From here the rest of the day was increasing the family unit one at a time from there various activities and then I went and got a couple of new tops as don’t have any summer tops to fit. The ones I have look like I am wearing a tent. Then the kids got McDonald’s as they wanted the toy in the Happy Meal. I had the salad which was ok.
Tonight we watched TV and as the night has progressed I have got more blocked in the nose just in time to struggle sleeping.
Tomorrow is weigh in day at the gym so hopefully I have lost a lot of fat to put me back with a chance to win Fiji. Also our team get together to workout in the weekends. That is always good.
Once I get home we have friends who will come by for morning tea and then i guess we work outside if it is a nice day and probably take the kids to the park. BTW I cleaned the house tonight as our friends are over early, so that is nice not having to do it some time in the weekend.

Hi, I went back to The Breeze website. There’s nothing there about the rules. But I assume the winner is the person who reduced their body fat the most. You’re not the only person to have put on a smidge, and you still lost weight. Goes to show people though doesn’t it that you can lose weight but not necessarily in the right areas
It’ll be good to check how things go for week 2.
I thought you had a male Personal Trainer. I must have misread it.
As for your stronger core, imagine how your tummy will look once you peel away at all the extra weight. Hope you’re planning on a bikini for when you’re in Fiji!

Yes it is the person with the highest percentage of weight loss that will win the trip to Fiji.
I do have a male PT, Andrew.
I will never wear a bikini even if had the abs to do so. I have lots of stretch marks due pregnancy and 5 scars from my Gall Bladder operation. Then there is the lilly white skin. lol.
My next blog has an update of the weigh in.
