Here we are again for our last weekly Thursday check-in! I have come to the realisation that I am losing weight quite slowly, which is nothing to shy away at because it is most definitely still coming off. However, I am doing wonderfully according to my dietician so I am more than happy. With a total weight loss of 4.7kg over 5 months, it makes for some boring updates. So this is what is happening; I will now do montly updates at Eating the Olives and Fit for a Bride. You will probably see a few more posts on FFAB about what I have been up to though, with run club, online weight loss groups and other things I come across that I think might be useful!
So what new things have I done this week? Highlight workouts included:
Wednesday 29th May - Only had half an hour to workout between a meeting and dinner, this was more a mental barrier that I had, so I was ridiculously proud of my 250 calories I burned with cardio and a quick strength session.
Friday 31st May - Rode to and from work and smashed out 1250 calories. I will need to pick up some more lights for that last little bit of my ride when it is starting to get pretty dark now.
Monday 3rd June - I did my first interval training session with NRG running and I loved it. I was definitely the last member on the team making it up and down that hill, but I went out of my comfort zone and I ran the full 2.5km there, plus ran about 90% of the 5 hill repeats I did, then ran about 90% of the 2.5km back to the start! Amazing! I am really looking to improve my running and that is one thing that will get me there!
Now for weight loss. Now that we are going monthly, I think I can give a good summary here to kick that off:
Starting weight (04Jan2013): 82.7kg/181.5lbs
Current Weight: (05Jun2013): 78kg/171.2lbs
Weight Lost: 4.7kg/10.3lbs
I have also had a great change in my mindset. I am definitely on board with the thought of "it is a lifestyle" because it truly is. Being fit and healthy is now really starting to feel like it is just the way that we live now, not a temporary measure.
To illustrate, my husband and I were talking of what we planned to do during our weekend away and somehow two 10km time trials made it in there! Mainly because it is really flat where we are going.
Stay tuned for next month!
