Week 1 Down!

So Monday is weigh in day. Week 1 loss = 1kg.
This may not seem much, but with 18.8kg to go, I'm happy with anything!!

Well I've decided to record my weight loss/fitness journey with everyone. I hope that you all enjoy reading about my weeks and I'm hoping that a journal will help keep me motivated, so feel free to post comments to keep me going!!

So, my first week was HARD! I did weights, cardio, personal training and boxing. On Thursday I was the butt of a few "horse riding" immitations as I could hardly walk straight!!! Ouch! I've found my trainer to be lovely, I"ll be seeing her once a week and trying to attend four other sessions. I did boxing on Sunday morning and it was GREAT! I really loved the ladies and the class was really hard but fun.

The thing I'm struggling most with is probably running. I think my cardio fitness is lowest, but a new bra and gym clothes might help me along...

I'll try to blog about my week each Monday night with a weigh in result and any other interesting parts of my week in fitness!! Bring on week 2....

End of an Era...

I just wanted to share a photo of my Dad. For as long as I can remember (about the last 25 years?) my Dad and Mum have run a successful floor sanding business. Dad has been carrying heavy machinery up stairs, into houses and polishing their floors for such a long time but has finally stopped! He has taken a giant step and become a groundsman at a high school on the northside of Brisbane. Mum will be working part time as a receptionist in late November.

I can't imagine what it is like to do a job you dislike for such a long time, but my Dad did. The buiness has afforded our family a comfortable life for quite a while, but it is definately time for them to move on.

So I just wanted to let everyone know how amazing my parents are for running a successful small buiness for such a long time! Well done Mum and Dad and here's to a new beginning and to finally being able to go to work each day and enjoy what you are doing. Luv yous...xxx

Kristie gets fit!!!

Hi all. Well I've started the week on a very healthy note by joining the gym! I've joined Fernwood. I was so impressed with their facilities, very peaceful, fresh and clean and all women! I've signed up at a great time as you get FREE weekly (1/2 hour) personal training a week until Christmas on top of your normal membership at no extra cost!

So I went along and was weighed, measured and given my BMI! Ouch!! It hurt so much! Maybe I'll share the statistics when I'm a little further towards my goal.... What do you all think?? Maybe I should share my weight loss journey on my blog...hmmm...

I'm pretty sore today, had my first personal training this am at 5.30!!! It was a little hard to get up, but I was wide awake and fresh when I got home to get the kids ready for school.

Anyways...still looking forward to tomorrow night with my great friends and hope you are all having a great week!

Take care..xxx

A great body shop party!

Hi all. Been a little while since I updated my blog, so here goes! I have spent most of my weekend cleaning my house and getting ready for my bodyshop party this afternoon! It is lovely to be surrounded by my great friends and family. Thanks for coming ladies...

My latest update is that I will be an official gym member as at Monday!!! I am so excited about the prospect of becoming more fit and healthy and having more energy to keep up with my life...
Dropping a couple of dress sizes wouldn't hurt either!!!

I am really excited about the big night in party! Look forward to spending more quality time with a wonderful group of women. I really am so blessed to have you all in my life!

Hugs and kisses...
