Hi Ladies,

What a scorcher today! Crazy weather we are having, hey?

I have been sticking to my calories pretty well, though missed pilates and zumba last night to stay in and watch beauty and the geek! Oops, though i did a good session this morning at the gym, i did an awesome 35min bike ride, 15 mins elliptical rider and really pushed myself with the weights session too- these thighs can now squeeze 70kgs together! Watch out DF Hahaha... I have only fitted in 3 gym sessions this week, so i might go again on the weekend, something i wouldn't normally do.

I went and bought myself some new scales today as my old ones didn't seem to be working very well (they kept telling me i was either 20kgs lighter than i am, or 10kgs heavier!). I now have some lovely digital ones as Target was having a 30% off scales sale. I had a sneaky weigh in, and wasn't particularly impressed. I will have to work extra hard between now and Monday! I think i am going to have to pull out the big guns and pay a lot more attention to what i am eating. When i was pregnant i cut out anything with more than 8g of sugar and made sure i had the lowest fat and lowest carb option available and managed not to gain any weight, so i think i might go back to this approach rather than counting calories. I am doing far too much exercise for the numbers to be going up rather than down.

Raupe- i am doing the sit up challenge too, and have been adding in girly style push ups afterwards as well! I am doing my sit-ups 10 at a time with a 10-20 sec rest in between, and the same with the push ups! Oops, better go and do todays challenge! I love to run, i started off by doing the couch to 5k running program which is based on gradually increasing the intervals you run for until you can run 5ks. Week 1 i couldn't even make it through the 60 second intervals and thought i was going to die, but i kept with it and ended up so please with myself to be able to do so well each week and push myself!

PRMG- Wow, 40ks?? That is really excellent!
