Onyx, does a third of a lamington even count? With the amount of muscle tone you must have now your metabolism would burn that off in no time. I would have eaten the whole thing and not thought twice about it. Have you done your measurements lately? I bet you are smaller. I wish we didn't worry about weight so much!
Wrena, lol, glad to be inspiring but I am not there yet. :) You can be far off a size 10 at under 65kg? I really do find it interesting in these threads how people of such different weights can be such different sizes. Pre DD I was 63kg and was an 8 to 10. :dunno:
Epacris, 1 hour 20 minutes is a very realistic goal. I am glad you have stopped putting quite so much pressure on yourself. Just completing the run is an achievement. I did a number of 'fun' runs before I had DD, and the fastest I managed to do it was 1 hour and 4 minutes. I was disappointed with that at first, but I realised that I had jogged for an entire hour without stopping over the gateway bridge and another hill, and that was darn good effort for someone who couldn't run more than about 200m at a time 12 months earlier. I would still love to get it under an hour, but it isn't something that weighs on my mind now.
Glad you are feeling better and good luck with the training. :)
Lions and bears, I hope you have gotten some sleep! Finding motivation to exercise can be hard anyway, but when you are sleep deprived it is REALLY hard. Congrats on the loss.
ZF, what is hotdog spaghetti?
Minimatron, try not to get too down about no loss yet. There are still a few weeks to go, and it often does take a few weeks before your body lets go of some weight.
AFM, The pump instructor at the gym told me I was looking sensational and she is really impressed at my progress. Woohoo! My exercise has been great, I have done 10km on the exercise bike at home any days that I haven't been at the gym, and generally spend an hour and a half at the gym each time. I made it to combat last week and it is great. I was sore for the first time in ages after doing a class. I have the kids booked into the creche again tomorrow for combat again and am really looking forward to it. Food has been pretty good too, so should see am hoping for a reasonable loss again on Thursday.
