Day 121 - ? Kg's to go!

Bee coz I....just realised I didn't hop on the scales yesterday or today I will have to remember tomorrow first thing.

Got a turkey and salad sandwich for lunch and it was huge! I've got a big mouth but I had to squish it down to eat it!

Bee coz I... Wanted to get a run in today I set out at 7am! It was a hard run with a warm wind and sore foot! I changed my route to try and keep in the shade, finished my cool down walking around a little lake, then stretched and sat under a tree and drank 1lt of water!

Did some shopping then home for a little rest before going out to pump, the gym was nice and cool!

Spent the arvo with Connie looking for a new couch for her place then home to chill out! Best thing about 40oC days are that when you get out the shower you just stand there for 5 mins and your dry! Bonus!

Then it was out to Gold Class with Mucker to see a movie, it was very nice, it's a cinema where there is only 26 people all in recliners and you order food and drinks that the bring to you mid movie! The movie was good too!

Think I will spend the day relaxing tomorrow, I have to go and get my eye phone looked at as the button is sticking- hope they don't take it off me to fix it, I will be lost without it and might have to fire up the big computer to check my mail and blog! Fingers crossed x Bee x

Zumba was funny tonight, we had a fill in instructor. We knew we were in trouble when she said she was a Latin dance instructor, she had the music so fast that we did about 12 tracks instead of 8! It was a good class. I think she was running on energizer batteries!

Today I also went op shopping got some great bargains so now I have clothes for work too!

Tomorrow I'll get my eyebrows waxed then I will be ready to face the world.
I can't wait to get back to work - I really love my job.

First thing this morning I went for a jog around the lake. I really pushed myself hard to get further around the lake on the second lap. It worked I must have jogged faster because I got further than two days ago, unfortunately my distance and speed gps on my c25k app didn't work. I was disappointed not to be able to see how far I got! Guess at least I have a physical land mark to measure it against.

I planted basil, chives, silver-beat, spinach, parsley, lettuce and in another 2 plant boxes I did carrots and gooseberries.

Day 106 - 3kg's to go!

Bee coz I....tried to do the couch to 5 k's program about a year ago and could not get past the first level without cheating, I decided to go back to where I used to try it and see how I go. It is a lake with a track around it and is 2.5 km round trip. It was funny to jog past all the spots I used to have to stop at! I made it round 1 2/3 before doing a cool down. I even walked back on my tracks to walk the long way back to the car!

I was very proud to see that my twin brother started the C25K program this morning, he is now running on my favorite road, the road where I did my first ever 20min jog. I am sure he will jog faster than I do in a few weeks but next time I am over we might go for a jog together, I would really love that!

Went shopping this arvo with Connie it was my first time shopping in the regular section for about 14 years, boy was there more options and bargains in that section. Got two tops, a pair of jeans and jogging pants. One of the tops I got as a size down and I hope to wear for my birthday or next time I go to Tassie, things like that motivate me.

Came home and dyed a pair of jeans that I bought in a sale that never fit (still had the tags on) they were way to light but bootleg cut, I got them about 13 years ago. They look great now you would never know!

Well that was a load of waffle - Bee


Bfast: diet shake
Snack: high fibre grain bar and veggie juice.
Lunch: sushi and diet coke
Dinner: chicken, little bit of low fat mash and veggies chased down with a yoghurt.

Day 105 - a day in the garden!

New coz I .... Ordered 2 cubic meters of tanbark I spent most of the day in the garden. I knew it was going to be hard when the delivery guy said, your brave moving all this wet tanbark by yourself! Clearly I didn't think about the fact that it has rained for five days, the bright side was I burned more calories (I hope). I also drank 3 liters of water while doing it! When I had finished I mowed the lawns then crashed! Bet I feel it in the morning.

Ian trying to multi task!

Had a great day doing nothing really, I bathed the dog coz he was getting a bit on the nose, only to realize with 97% humidity I had wet wooly dog smell all day, as he is no shedding he smells like a sheep when wet. Pheweee!

Day 102 - wild weather continues

Floods are still getting worse in Qld with minor flooding in Victoria and other States. Fingers crossed that people stay safe - Bee

Bfast: toast

Dinner: veggie juice and yoghurt.

Day 101 - hot and sticky day

Bee coz I ....am still on holiday from work I took advantage of the gym daytime classes! I went to pump and body balance. Pump was great - upped my weights, then body balance was funny because it was a class for the 65+ members, they let me stay lol I hope the guys at the front desk who gave me the class pass don't really think I am 65!

Watched the news all afternoon! Floods in Queensland are bad, then fires in Perth! Thoughts with them all!

Went for a run in the rain because it's going to get worse over the next few days! It was hot, sticky and wet! Much harder to jog but I enjoyed the challenge. I can now jog 30 strait.

Followed that up with deep water running then came home and had a bath and went to bed. A good day all round - Bee
Bfast: cereal
Lunch: beans and veggie juice
Dinner: pita with feta and spinach

Day 100 - Woo Hoo

Be Coz I....have made it to day 100, i had a treat tonight it was a lindt chocolate ball (just one) it was horrid lol, just tasted like chocolate with butter in the middle ah well, i wont miss chocolate for another few months now. i just didn't want to pick something that i would want more of! well that theory worked.

i have to do a jog tomorrow and it going to be 28 minutes with no breaks, i am actually looking forward to it! even though its going to be 26oC and raining = sticky.

I think Connie is getting back on track, she went to Zumba on Sat but i missed it as i was working out - gardening. Hopefully we will see her back at deep water tomorrow!

Jorja's mum Tracy came back for round two of Zumba tonight - she did so well, i think she is going to join up! woo hoo.

Day 99 - 4kg to go!

Bee coz I.... Normally weigh in on a Sunday and my last weigh in was only Wednesday due to me being in Tassie, I was surprised to see good loss!

Zumba, I am convinced that's the key!

Had a great day today, another few hrs in the garden, walk with the hound, and then I took myself to the movies and saw "Little Fockers" it was funny. I love going to the movies by myself not sure why, I know most people wouldn't but I do.

I stayed up to late chatting to Mucker but fell asleep around midnight (hence this being done this am) and at 3 am my 16 year old knocked on my door to ask where is phone charger was and could I get it for him! He was surprised that I was a bit annoyed at being woken up! For the record I didn't go find it for him.

The jogging every second day, walking and snorkeling all payed off my goal was achieved! I must admit, it was the first time I have felt nervous going on the scales.
