Weigh In Day
I will just update with Sunday’s activities before giving my results.
I dropped the family at church on my way to the gym, it was a group session. We started on the cycle and the girls were still on them so I stayed longer than I wanted but then moved onto the weight machines. My muscles were still sore so I had a few of the machines on a lighter weight so I complete my reps. I then went to the treadmill. I was doing well at Speed Intervals but when I went to change the speed at the 3min interval I cleared the setting so had to start it all again. A couple of intervals later I accidentally stopped the machine so once again had to input the settings. I still did 25mins and I think I did it under 25mins but can’t be sure.
After my cool down and stretches I went to jump in the shower but we got talking and were told of this weeks challenge. Only 1 team will win and we will get a voucher for breakfast for 2 at a little Italian restaurant once the challenge is over of course. So it is all on now. I had my shower and left to find Martin and the kids at the mall.
We did a few things and then came home, where I decided to mow the lawns as they needed doing and Martin has the flu. I was wearing a singlet top as it was a lovely day but it was cold as the wind was cool. I was pleased it was done as the lawns looked bad and I had heard it was to rain this coming week. Also the new lawnmower makes the job easier.
I wasn’t feeling well so didn’t have dinner till quite late when I started to feel hungry. I had a huge salad and turkey. yum
I was up at 5am today to go to the gym. I really struggled as I was tired, I didn’t have a good sleep. I had the weight machines back to the normal settings, although I think one or two may need to have a heavier weight as I could do a few more reps than required. While on the treadmill I just kept thinking I didn’t want to let the team down so stayed on target for the 25mins and I wanted the 3km. I can now run the 3km in 24.46mins. yay.
On the radio today they said that the weeks prize for the team is a 30min massage and the breakfast voucher so all the more reasons to work hard. The results are on the website now if you want to check it out.
Before I left for the gym I weighed in on my scales which is what I am counting on normally. Today I weighed in at 85.9kg so I have lost another 1.7kg.
When I got home and changed for the events of today I noticed I have a bit of colour from doing the lawns. Can’t wait till it tans.
Right off to go to Coffee Group.
This is the new lawnmower that I am enjoying using. BTW it is raining today.

Well well. Look at you. You’ve got the the most amount of fat loss out of all people. I hope you’re felling mighty proud of yourself.
Hope to that Martin begins to feel better. The flu isn’t nice at all.
Oh, I meant to say the other day, with being on the treadmill you should run with a slight incline. When you’re running on the road you’re having to push off your feet to go forward. On the treadmill you more or less just run up and down and not actually forward (because it’s a treadmill). So if you put on a little incline you’re also simulating pushing off.
You might already be running with an incline. Doesn’t have to be anything drastic. I just do an incline of 1.0.
Anyway, congratulations on being a winner!
