First onto Weigh in Wednesday! Another 500grams lost today
never to be seen again! This makes a total of 2.3kg since the start of round!
And also makes it 5 more weeks exactly (my birthday is on Wednesday) until my
first goal – to be under 100kg! I have updated my Every Kilo page with current
stats. Can’t wait to see more green on there this round!
So my exercise plan has continued on a strong path since my
last update with completing PT,
swimming, beach workouts, more swimming and a kettlebell workout with my new
8kg Kettlebell Bella! Food has also been pretty spot on. No binges, and even
after a night out for dinner for Valentines day, I was super happy with my 500g
loss!
Life has gotten in the way a little so far this week. I had
a great kettlebell and skipping workout on Monday after work, but yesterday
went home with a massive headache. I’m pretty sure it was due to dehydration so
this afternoon I’m trying to get the water consumption up.
Drinking enough water has always been a huge challenge for
me. Add into that a coke zero addiction and you could say I’m chronically
under-hydrated. So from now until next Wednesday I’m am going to challenge
myself to drink 2 litres of water per day. Will be interesting to see what
effect that has on weight loss for the week too!
I also feel like I need to up the intensity of my workouts.
I now know it is possible to get home and do a workout after work so working
out longer and harder is the next goal. I can burn through 500 cals in a 45
minute session with my PT, but at home I’m lucky to get around 250-300 for the
same amount of time. I think this is purely to do with how much harder I work
when there is someone there pushing you, plus my 3 gorgeous friends who do it
with me.
I am also struggling with swimming training – I LOVE
swimming but it really doesn’t produce a high calorie burn and adding to this,
my heart rate monitor works only when it wants to in water. BUT I need to
continue swimming if I want to hit my goal of swimming 750m continuous
freestyle. What I’m hoping is that as I get fitter in the water, and can swim
further and faster the calorie burn will rise.
Another challenge I have given myself this round is to fit
into these shorts:

I was debating whether to post this or not, but I need some
accountability with it so here goes!
