A brief ME update!!!

Just a quickie post this morning over a strong coffee - down to one a day now... one very strong, super sized coffee, given, but one all the same! I just wanted to post that my weight-loss is going well. Having finally found an exercise I like is making all the difference. Apart from the thought and total fear of seeing another snake on the track, I am walking and running on a daily basis and love it!

I start at the "Florence Parade Track" and power walk to the end, up and around the "Visitors Centre" and back down as far as the "Bundoona Track" ...then I run the "Bundoona Track" to the end, walk up and around the "Visitors Centre" again and back down the "Florence Pde Track" to the beginning of the "Bundoona Track" and run again. I run the "Bundoona Track" 2-3 times and by the time I complete my morning exercise, I have done around 7000 steps, 550 calories and all in around 55-65 mins (depending on whether I looped twice or three times)...it's usually twice and for the past 2 days I have been doing it in 54 mins! Yay to me! I have decided that when I crack the 50 mins, I will officially add the 3rd lap! As for now, I am happy with what I am doing. Initially I only power walked. Now I have added the run, so I definitely feel that my fitness is progressing.

As for weight loss, I have lost 8.2kg (as at Friday last week). I will weigh again this Friday. Fingers crossed. I have 3 weeks and 3 days till my night out with Shan, Son and Leah (in which we have to get into our "sexy" outfits...LOL) and exactly one month till Leah comes down from Qld for the Sydney Twilight Convention. I am hoping to have another 5kg off by then. At that stage I will have about an even 10 to put me back where I want to be....to tell you the truth, I can't believe I let my weight get so out of control, but I guess stress does some awful things.
