Yes Another Loss! This Walking Is Working
169.5 pounds (76.9 kilos)
This week down 1 kilo
Total – 22.2 pounds (- 10.1 Kilos)
Wow I’m starting to really get going on this. I went to Curves late today and then was going to flag my walk but decided to do it and went late this evening. It was a beautiful night and so once I got going it was not so bad. I did 10 kms tonight and will do another one on Thursday.
I know that I have to step it up and really make sure that I don’t have any cheats with my food if I’m going to get to 70kilos before the 21st July. I want to come back from my holiday with only 10 kilos left to lose.
I had a gym membership at Les Mills and I put it on Hold for three months and I know that it’s coming up to the time when I will have to start paying again so I’m thinking I might start to do some of the Body For Life programme in my lunch break.
I am off to Wellington this weekend for a conference and I do not want anything to muck up what I have achieved so far. I plan to walk each day along the water front for at least a half hour and I am staying away from their starchy carb morning and afternoon teas.

Great to hear your going to do the Body for Life programme, I used to be a member of a gym in Palmerston North who put me onto that back in 2000 and I did it then for my wedding 12 weeks out and lost 27. I then had kids as we do and guess what happened I let it all go. I then got back on track and lost it again plus 11 more kilos =38 kgs. Its a never ending battle for us women we cant just do it and get to our goal weights and prey it stays that way – before you know it you’ve climbed back up again. We need to make a plan along with doing the weight loss thing is to set up a system for once we reach the goal to be able to maintain that. Mine is to keep walking once I reach it – 3 times a week and keep taking my protein shakes morning and afternoon tea. Resorting to surgery and gastric banding isnt an option for me anymore been there done that. So now my health comes first and I need to start looking after me and not just my kids.
Body for life is great once you get past the first week. It does work and if you want to step it up – cut out the middle column of carbs, just do the proteins and vege, combine it with a low carb mulivit/protein powder like sculpt and cardio/weight training 6 days and the kgs will melt off. Good luck – you can do it just plan ahead for it.
