Good news! Another Loss!

Well, it isn't the same league as the weight loss I have come to expect each week, but given the missed training session earlier this week, and my partner's birthday, I am stoked to have continued on the weight loss track this week. I felt it was a bit touch and go, but it seems that the metabolism is now able to handle a day off and a change in diet (for the birthday) without going crazy and undoing all my good work. Sweet.

This morning the training session was pretty hard. Lots of leg work today, no running, but plnety of squats, lunges, and other difficult exercises for me to get through. My heart rate was right up, and I was exhausted at the end of the session. Thet rainer and I got onwell today, and she was pleased with my effort. She has okayed my plan of attending the gym to watch replays of rugby and rugby league games and suggested that walking for 90 minutes is a good idea. I will build this into my training routine, and she and I are going to attend a cycle class next week.

My partner and I have a big weekend planned. We are heading out for a walk of at least 10kms one of the days at the weekend (depending on the weather) and we will be joined by her cousin who wants to get fit and lose some weight too. I am also going to try to make it into the gym both days for a cardio session. I feel like getting stuck in this weekend, and it looks like the weather will be good. We're going to try and walk a couple of beaches and make the most of the sunshine while it is here. We started taking it for granted and then were taught a lesson!

Not much else to report, still going on the same track, if a little more slowly this week. The trainer said to me today that I should be 85kg. I thought that was a bit optimistic. 100kg is a good enough goal for now, at the beginning I was wondering if that was too far away. It is still a ways off yet, but I am sure that I will get there if I carry on with the exercise and being disciplined on the diet front.
