WEIGH IN AND THE CHALLENGE HAS BEGUN
Weighed in this morning and lost 1.1. Hence I have almost repaired the damage done last week. Only 400g up on two weeks ago. So I am pleased with that considering I had my holiday in there. The challenge is really motivating me. As you may have noticed I have amended my daily step requirement. I realised that asking 155500 steps a day was a bit much. I know many days I can do this but not 7 days a week. Also if I enter the WWA challenge at that level I would be unable to finish as I am going away early Dec. So I set my step count as enough steps to finish the challenge before I leave. It will be hard work but I am really committed. I set 2 of my reward points as water and fruit because both of these are things I have trouble with. Also 3 times a week at the gym because I am paying membership and 2 training sessions for the same reason. I have found that I often get slack after a few weeks so this should help me to stay committed for 5 whole weeks till holiday. I know that exercise makes me feel more positive and enthusiastic about everything but just get lazy when I get overtired. It will also make me smaller!!!So no excuses for 5 weeks....
SO FAR
Friday: 16000 steps which was helped along by a walk, weight training in morning, gym cardio machines in evening.
Saturday: Did my running training time/trials and dropped just over 1 minute from my last one. It was agony and I didn't want to do it after being so slack for over 1 week but I am so glad I did it.
I have been asked where I am going in N.Z. Unfortunately this is a flying visit, (literally) as DH cannot get more time off work. Just 11 days. So we are cramming a lot in. We had our honeymoon in N/Z (Nth Island) and then 20 years ago travelled both islands with a 3 year old and a 3 month old. We loved it but this will be very different with only Ebs who is 16. We fly into Auckland (1 night)then down to Rotorua for 3 nights then fly to Quesntown (to save time) for 3 nights. We are doing a scenic flight/cruise of Milford Sound (again to save time) Then drive through the glacier area where we are doing a helicopter/hike on Fox Glacier (1 night) (and 1 night at Haast to break the drive). Then drive to Christchurch (1 night) and fly home. As Ebony has never been to N.Z. It will be special for her and we know it is a beautiful place to visit. My DH has not had a holiday in over a year so he desperately needs one.
