Day 17 - Weigh in number 3!

Can't believe I have left it so long between blogs...... I guess the blogging every day was always going to be hard to maintain. I plan at LEAST to stop by on weigh in day, and if anything else significant happens I will drop in as needed.

I was a VERY apprehensive about getting on the scales this week. My calories and been over more than on track AND I had to get a new set of scales. I was really concerned that they would not weigh the same and it would affect my result.....maybe it did, I will never know? BUT I had to check twice, no three times (again) but I have recorded a loss of 1.6kg today!! That gives me a total of 3.3kg since kick off.....AMAZING!

This week I have also commenced the Proper training program! I have spent the first 2 weeks just pedaling away on my stationary bike. I will tell you another day why that in it's self has been such a momentous achievement for me, but then starting on Michelle's training program in addition to what has become my regular 12km ride... well I am actually a little gob smacked. Part of that program is learning to run ......... something that when I started out with the program 2 weeks ago I had not thought was possible. I have to admit that the months leading up to me deciding to commit to Michelle and the 12 WBT....I have day dreamed about running. I honestly thought I was barking mad.....how can a 42 year old, 110kg, mother of 4 even entertain the idea of running??? AND it was certainly not one of the goals I set 2 weeks ago....not sure what is happening....little frightened by it all.....but hey in for penny in for a pound!! I can't believe I am saying this but I am really looking forward to the fitness text NEXT weigh in day!!! I am going to SMASH that 1km time trial I just know it!!

Well now I must sleep.....3kms of learning to run and then actually 13km on the bike today....I am a little bushed!!

Night....
