MY GYM WORKOUTS

Well I did a gym weights workout on monday, then water aerobics and a gentle swim. Felt really good afterwards. Wednesday I did a cardio / weights workout, upped my weights to the next level as I felt like I wasn't pushing myself hard enough, with the cardio I did 30 minutes on the treamill. (24 minutes at around 5.5 kph and 7 minutes jogging at 8.5 kph.) Didnt think I had it in me, but have been knackered ever since :-)

Today I did another 10 minutes on treadmill to warm up, weights session, water aerobics, followed by a gentle swim, All in all I am feeling great and really enjoying it too. Weight wise I was happy with the 0.5 kg loss as I had pizza for tea Friday night and a Greek Banquet for tea Saturday night - followed by some social drinking (hehe)

Anyway I am off to Melbourne for the weekend as it was our 7TH Wedding anniversary on Monday, and we are staying in there with no kids this weekend - I am going to enjoy myself - Talk soon, kys.

AND SHE JOINS THE GYM - AGAIN

Okay well I havnt been blogging like I said I would, although I am still on the way to the new slimmer me. I lost a total of 3.4kg in January since I started back at weight watchers, and all I was doing was trying to eat healthy the majority of the time and a few walks each week with the kids while they rode there bikes. TIME TO STEP IT UP A NOTCH..........

Anyway my mother-in law, sister-in-law and I all joined the gym on Saturday. We had our assessment which was fun (not) and are into the swing of things. Hopefully having the extra support to help motivate me will be a good thing. Today I did a cardio/weights workout, water aerobics and then I swam up and back the length of the pool :-) That was a big accomplishment as I am not a very good swimmer, but thought I would give it a go. I totally have no rhythem or co-ordination but at least I am trying.

Anyway life is still very hectic, working the business flat out (trying to grow, grow, grow) more each month until we are where we want to be. That and the kids busy lives, swimming, dancing, parties, house for sale, exercise...... da da da - I wont bore you any more.

Anyway heres to the next week and looking forward to the next weigh in on thursday, and being able to hopefully get out of bed in the morning :-)

P.S. HAPPY 7TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO COREY AND I TODAY.
(+ THE OTHER 9 YEARS TOGETHER BEFORE THAT :-)
