Calories burned - week 1

This week I burned a total of 4561 calories!

So happy with that!

My biggest burn was today! 1123 calories!!


Bring on week 2!

Week One. The wrap up. Good bad and ugly.

Week one 12wbt Wrap up!

The good ...

• The food! This round I promised myself to try everything once unless I could absolutely not adapt it for my gluten free husband. I tried recipes I have avoided last round. Oh my the are good! This is not boring diet food people - this is a way I could eat for life!
• On that note - I love Pizza night! Who would put sweet potato and ricotta on a Pizza? Apparently Mish does and it is GOOD!
• Wearing a size 12 dress to my grad and feeling beautiful! It was good to see all my hard work paying off!
• My first personal training session. I worked so much harder than I thought was capable. It was hard .. but made me feel so so strong.
• Reassessment day at my gym! Loved seeing results in the measurements!
• Getting my dogtags in the mail as a reminder of what we are doing and why! Thanks Lisa - I love them!
• A huge weight loss this week! 1.8kg at this stage of the game is GREAT for me! I certainly don't expect that next week. In fact I will be happy to lose again next week ...
• Discovering I am now a MEDIUM at Lorna Jane! I love Lorna Jane!
• My family support - everyone including my daughter, husband and my parents have shown me incredible support with starting this round! Don't worry mum - I am aiming for HEALTHY not skinny. I love that you all make this easier
• Sticking with my trying new things goal - I did group step and personal training! And I was better at both than I thought I would be!

The bad ...

• Burpees. I still have nothing good to say about burpees.
• Pump on Friday. I was still so sore I found it hard to finish tracks. I got through it - but it wasn't pretty.
• I skipped my flexibility day. Going to do extra stretches today to make up for it. I really do need to commit to the pilates class each week.
• I still haven't had my super (sunday for this week) session. I promise I will. It is scheduled for late afternoon. check back and keep me accountable.
• I still don't seem to have the shopping organised. Instead of taking the time to sit down and make one big list I ended up going back and forth to the shops every couple of days. Which cost me a lot of time, and extra money. I am tempted to try getting the groceries delivered home. With the extra time training takes in my day I need to find every time saver I can!
• Finding it hard to fit my runs in. Again - must look at my scheduling
• Some really cruddy runs due to lack of time
• My 5 year old turned to my tap teacher and said "You know - my mummy just doesn't GET tap". Yep - she's right. But I'm still trying

The ugly ...

• Feeling like I would throw up for 30 min after personal training!
• Discovering my total lack of ab strength. I am still a ZERO on the ab test. Really need to work on that.
• My home. The extra time I spent cooking, training, (and checking the forums) meant less time at home. I need to find better balance here! A full cleaning morning with my family today has helped so much!
• DOMS. Delayed onset muscle soreness. I suffered it badly this week. I know it meant I worked HARD ... but it hurt so much!

Bring on week TWO!!!
