I'm on my way!

I'm disappointed I didn't get the chance to blog through pre-season properly. I completed all of the tasks and it opened my eyes to the reasons I have failed in the past. In a way, I guess I had a breakthrough. It all boils down to me being lazy, having no will power and blaming everything and everyone else around me for failing. Not this time. I know it's all up to me and I can do this.

Today is day 4 on program. My starting weight on Sunday was 92.3kg and yesterday (Wednesday) was weigh in day and I am now down to 90.3kg. So, very very happy with a 2kg loss in 3 days. It has been hard. I'm just not a salad eater, so I struggle getting through some of the meals, especially the lunches. Monday I did the beginners cardio program at the gym, Tuesday I did Body Pump and last night I did Michelle Bridges Cardio Kicker DVD. As soon as the boy goes down for his nap this afternoon, I am off to the gym to do some weight training. (My husband works nights so he's home sleeping - I'm not leaving the boy here by himself! ;))

I have been using my heart rate monitor for each work out and am yet to crack the 400 calories burned in a session. I did just under that during Body Pump so I think I must push myself more in a class environment. I'm doing RPM on Sunday, so I hope to crack it then.

All in all, it's been a pretty good week. Looking forward to week 2 coming up and another weigh in!
