100 Small Steps Challenge

The aim of this challenge is to take one photo each day of the week to represent the change we have made to our health. Here are the rules and more information: 100 Small Steps Challenge

I will begin tomorrow on my challenge, I should finish on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. I will post the following Monday as according to the rules.

This will be fun and get me to use more of my photography skills.

Tired Thursday

I have had a busy week so far. Work has been hectic and the seniors are starting winding down. Only a few more weeks with them left. The Yearbook should be finished next week. I went to Nickelback last night! What an awesome show! I am tired this morning though!

I am still a little sore from Monday's Personal Training session and yesterdays as well but I feel good from doing it!I am loving doing interval training as I never know what Scott will pick next it keeps me guessing. Off to work I will post more this evening or this afternoon.


After Meeting: 
This weeks meeting was about tracking...


All my muscles are sore. But worth it - I lost 400g today. YAY a loss finally!
I bought the kitchen scales so I can track properly. I'm glad this meeting was about tracking - I thought I did a good job but need to be a lot more specific and include weights and more branding. I am feeling more motivated and positive because of this.
"TRACK TRACK TRACK - To Keep ON TRACK!"

I'm really exhausted so I'm off to bed. Thank God tomorrow is Friday!

Weekend Warrior

Yay it is the weekend again, I am feeling good after the renewed lot of exercise I did yesterday. Running from one end of the school a few times had its benefits. Tomorrow I will be riding either at Daisy Hill or Gap Creek depending on weather. Probably 10-20km worth of riding to do.

Hopefully with all the exercise I am doing the weight will fall off (I am hoping anyway)

There are 4 more weeks until the finish of the Fenix Transformation challenge, I am motivated and powering on. I am enjoying doing exercise more now; which is great. I am also finding it easier to breathe and there is less wheezing and coughing now. I am finding running for 5 minutes a slight struggle but I am doing it!

Finally it's Friday

Well it's Friday again.  I haven't posted in a while - I have been busy with work and home. (mostly work though) This weekend I have my C25k week 4 to finish and also will be riding on Sunday either at Daisy Hill or Gap Creek depending on weather. 
Next few weeks are busy at work, I have marking, reporting and of course the yearbook to finish before the end of next week!


I'm feeling a little disheartened about my weight at the moment. At weigh in at the meeting I was 55.1, But at home (after a wee) I was 54.8kg and this morning I was 54.4kg. I have eaten well for the past week, even with going out I managed to stay at or below my points. On top of gym Monday and Wednesday and C25k. I have no idea whats going on. I have 4 more weeks until my gym transformation challenge finishes and I want to be at goal by then. I am working my arse off and not seeing any real changes. It is so frustrating!
