Gotta love a great workout!! - Day 2

So we dragged our backsides off to the gym this morning to checkout a class, we have done this one before and the instructor is always fantastic at making you work really hard! But OMG, it had obviously been WAY too long between classes cause she was ON it today! We went a whole 1 hr 10 minutes today and did not stop moving at any point. My whole body already aches all over. We did So many damn squats today...My legs hurt so much!! We did some good push ups too! YAY! But we knew that we would need proof that we worked hard...So of course we got a photo! WOOHOO!

Two very sweaty girls after a good arse kicking workout!

So there it is. it was a great class and we totally did the extra Intense workout that we had to do for the Challenge.


Now food wise, we have been ROCKING!. Eating well, sticking to the plan and enjoying trying a few new things! Its great. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes in my body and on the scales! I already feel a lot less bloated! Water in take has been pretty good too. I have notice that my sugar withdrawal symptoms have been the worst this time round. Which really does not surprise me, considering the crap we had been eating. But yesterday was far worse than today. I got by without a nap too! Hahah!   The side effects most felt have been headaches and general lethargy which is jut from lack of direct sugar fuelling our bodies. our bodies are relying on a different form of fuel.

Anyway,

Feeling great and still excited to be on this ride!

Day 5 - Workout

I signed up for the gym today. YAY. It's smaller than I'm used to and not so flash but it does the job just fine. I did feel a little lost after getting off the treadmill and choosing a weight machine to do. Just not used to the layout or some of the scary machines.

Did a 15 min treadmill warm up in which I ran first for 2 minutes and then for one. Two minutes you say? That's nothing? Well I'm not a runner and I'm just starting out. Two minutes for me was an accomplishment as I normally can only run one at a time. So I was proud of myself. Even if my throat was burning after. PT Melanie says "Go at a slower pace at first in order to control your breathing. Even though it feels like a comfortable pace, just slow it down a little bit" Yes Ma'am. Next time I will slow the jogging pace a little.

I did not jump on the wii this morning. There was too big an audience. I did get on the scale at the gym and it said I'd gained 2kg. That was after breakfast and with clothes/shoes not taken into consideration. So, not as bad as I thought I guess. That's also on day 5 of quick start so I don't know if I had gained more than that or not.

Either way, need to get those 2 kg back off and then work towards my goal. Which would be about another 5-7 kg or so. I think. I still get confused converting lbs and kg.

And, my knee keeps twitching! It's driving me crazy!! It's been going on and off for like, a month!!!

Thank you. that is all.

Start your Engines...

So readers..start your engines...

I attempted ( attempted cause I had to Fight the litle guy for the Wii) to do a Wii workout today. A few weeks back I picked up Wii fit Plus along with another Game...Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009  for the Wii. I have not had a chance to get around to it until

today. The graphics are a little lacking..But I actually worked up a sweat. It works a bit like a interval training course. She made me run and do various other activities. Im a huge Fan Of Jillian.. She likes to kick butt. So I shall probably attempt this one again...Its a shame the graphics are a little bad.

My eating is getting back on track..Thank god...It has been very bad lately...I feel much more energised!!!

YAY for healthy Eating. Beef and Veg Stirfry is on the menu tonight. Yum. Slipping back into the food regime is the easy part! Exercise is next!
