warm up wk3 challenge

Challenge is to complete 30 kms for the week

week 3-
wed 27 - 5 km walk/jog
thur 28 - 5 km bike
sat 30 - beginners zumba - 20 mins
tues 3 - 5 km walk

Had a really bad week, eating was bad, and emotions were bad. Struggled due to selling my old house had alot of pressures to have it completed on time. 

Lessons - need to work on doing the exercises anyway and get myself out of bed as it will help with the stress, sickness and depression.

Most proud that I still managed to do the 5 km walks and bike, remembering that I never exercised at all.  Even though I didn't meet my goal of  30km. 

Food - stop using it as a comfort, expecially the coke!

warmup wk 2 update

Have done really well this week.
Positives:

• getting myself slowly into exercise
• Cutting down on my softdrink (really difficult for me)
• slowly adjusting my meals, decent healthy lunch, suffient dinner and always breakfast.

Really happy with my progress so far and have already lost some weight - WOOHOO.
I am planning to do my first boot camp tomorrow - although i am very aprehensive and dont quite feel ready for it, but i will give it a go.

exercise journal

20 mins - cross trainer bike
Wanted to write about this first exercise so that I remember how hard it was.  Hopefully as time goes by I can reflect back to this and say "wow, how far I have now come".

Set my stopwatch for 20mins:

I am extremely unfit, after first 4 mins (cycling medium speed) - wanted to give up, too hard, and I usually would have, slowed it down, cranked up my ipod and keep on cycling.

10 mins in I still hating the exercise, still wanted to stop, but  thought "I have made it this far, maybe this time I might actually finish something".

Last 2 mins: cranked it into fast gear for 1 min - nearly killed me
Last minute: warm down took it slow, proud I had nearly finish.

Finished - wow i finished something, feel good that I achieved something, legs wobbly, heart beating out of my chest and i feel sick in the stomach.  It shows how unfit I am.

week 2 challenge

Cut down (if not all) other drinks, softdrink etc, except for water and herbal teas...

for those who know me well this will be hell for me...cranky week ahead of me...
Again i will try to give up coke...the headaches are the worst..

week 1 challenge

Thought i might not be able to complete week one challenge as i had hoped due to weather so instead of an outside walk - 20 mins on the TREADMILL. I guess the key to staying on track will be NO EXCUSES, AND TO SUBSTITUTE...I can do it!
