I'm starting again...

Hi Guy's I've decided to start again with my challenge... however it is not going to be a challenge this time, it's going to be a lifestyle shift.

Let me explain...
I haven't put in close to 50% in the last 4 weeks, there are many excuses I could have a cry about but I'm not going to do that. I have 29 days to go on the IBO challenge and I'm not going to make anywhere near the changes I wanted to and with how slack I've been in the last few weeks I need to start again. I don't think my body will handle the updated program as all my work in the first four weeks has pretty much evaporated!!! I still weigh roughly the same... 61kg give or take, but my body fat has risen a bit. So I'm going back to the drawing board starting again and will use my IBO program to guide me in the right direction, I may do it slower than in the '12' weeks, but I hope to make changes of my own accord.

So there you go, hope I'm not disapointing you like I've disapointed myself but... hey life goes on.

I'm going to Mum's Tuesday for a week. I haven't been home to Traralgon since Christmas (It's 5 hours drive away) can't wait. Going without my BF so I'll be all lonesome I'm sure. I can't wait to catch up with all my friends etc. Mum has a tredmill so I'll be using it reguarly. I'll take my fitball and hopefully get to the gym while there. I'm not going to stress too much though. I'm on holidays for two whole weeks!!!

Take care everyone.
Catch up soon.

Week 8 Day 1

Kane's Footy team


Good news... and very bad news!!!

The bad news... we lost, the good news... it was even at half time, 15 goals all. The very bad news... We lost by 22 goals!

Yes, you read right! We lost by 22 goals in 1 half of netball! How hard is that to write!
More good news... Kane won his Grandfinal so it was a big weekend. He played really well and got a medal and all that jazz.

Back to the game. After half time our coach made changes and we kinda lost it from there. They got the first 6 goals in the third quarter before I even touched the ball. Then I missed a few (it was very gusty) and I got taken off in the last quarter! Game over. We got a dumb patch that says runners-up (losers badge, I've called it!) and a fake squishy netball from Netball Victoria. So I got a pocket knife, put a hole in the badge and wore it around my neck with a lanyard all night (You can see it in the pictures below). I've decided... I made it to the Grand final from 5th on the ladder and I'll be proud. A couple of the footballers asked if I wanted to swap my badge for their medal, I said, 'No, mines bigger than yours!'

So I'm a little sleepy, back to the real world tomorrow and will again try to make sense out of my update. Cheers everyone for you positive comments and well wishes for the weekend.
Oh.. and a big congrats to Carolyn, you look wonderful!

Week 7 Day 4

Ok so I've slackened off a bit this week. I've this fear in my mind that I'm going to be soooo sore with the DOMS if I'd attempted my updated program this week and I want to be in the best shape I can be on Saturday for the GF. I'm slack, I know, avoiding the DOMS is not how I am going to achieve my goals and I know it. I have made a promise to myself to sit down and really think about my program and how to achieve my goals on Monday and then hit it hard for the final 4 weeks before continuing on for more lasting lifestyle changes. I did go to the gym on Monday and up'd all my weights with my 'old' program and yes... I'm still sore just from that, imagine how I'd feel on Saturday if i'd gymed it tonight with legs?

I haven't drank enough water today and I'm definitely feeling it. I stuffed up my routine today by not filling up my water bottle this morning when I first got to work, only had 200mls (?) in it, and thats how much I've had today... pretty bad hey? And I'm used to drinking nearly 3L a day!...
That made me go and get a drink and I'm feeling really light headed now.

I have the school walkathon tomorrow, two hours of walking should do me for cardio tomorrow, I may only walk half the time though, I have preps (kindergarten) kids and they are all new to this, I'll walk a few laps with them and then do crowd control as I know they'll start winging about having to do it and try to sneak off and play, (geez I'm tough!).

Have a great night, I'm off to our last netty training this year in 20 mins.
Ciao,
Kelly

Week 7 Day 1

Had a productive day of exercise today. Did Shoulders/Back/Chest at the gym after work as well as 2 of 3 ab exercises, but went around the corner to find all the tredmills occupied in the cardio room. I went home and did 30 mins of jogging, (average heart rate of 161) and came home for a shower. I turned on the computer and found my program update... I only just got used to the other one! Anyway the only change to my nutrition was no more carbs at M4 anymore. I took a few pic's on Saturday for my update and I really liked this one, can't really remember why I was laughing, but it made my abs look ok for once. Maybe I'll have to laugh in my after shots to look a 'little' toned! Anyway I've started searching for a bikini for 'the end' of the challenge, I'm sure it'll creep up quite quickly. I don't like really low hipster styles, my abs will never look 'that' good to wear hipsters.

alrighty I've a busy week ahead, I've already told work I won't be in next Monday. Mad Monday here we come :)

Plan this week:
Monday - 30 mins jog, weights
Tuesday - Netball training
Wednesday - Cardio, weights
Thursday - Netball training, weights
Friday - Power walk and getting my tax done
Saturday - Grandfinal and then drinking, drinking and probably more drinking
Sunday - drinking, drinking and drinking
Monday - recover
Tuesday - Back on the wagon!!!!!

Cheers

Week 6 Day 6

I've come to the conclusion that we must be the most tin-arsed team in our league.

We won by 5 goals today and yes... We are in the A Grade Grandfinal!

We play Yackandandah, they are is awesome. So bring on the leprechaun because we will need some luck :)

So Kane and I will both play next weekend. It will be quite a large weekend I feel. I'm going to take Monday off as I remember what GF weekend was like last year... and the year before that... and the year before that. So it is sure to be HUGE!

I had my measurements done this morning. I little bit disappointing, I had a lady do them today and her idea of a measurement was to be very loose with the tape measure. I lost around 1-2 cm from most areas but I put on 1.5cm in my thighs???? I know they are smaller. My clothes tell me that. So I might ignore the numbers and go on how I'm feeling and how the clothes are feeling and I am happy.

So with netball continuing on for one more week I have 3 cardio sessions organised. Only need to plan 3 myself.

I'll go for a Powerwalk tomorrow morning and then breakfast, off to the gym to do arms/back/shoulders and then grocery shopping and home for cleaning and a relax!

Hope you're having a smashing weekend... I'm still in shock that we actually won!
