Pre Weigh-in Shenanigans

Damn you scales damn you.

I know I know I was told that the scales may not come down due to the muscle I am building but seriously I'm a woman! I NEED to see it on the scales...I seem to be stalling...

I even bought another scales...Disgraced for myself...At least i can throw one out the window on Friday after the weigh in if I'm not down...




I am a bit worried that my falling off the wagon (well more jumping off the wagon and eating everything in sight like a Tasmanian Devil and quickly climbing back on the wagon sheepishly wondering if anyone saw me) is the reason... Maybe it will all be okay and a bit of pre weigh in panic will keep me on track for next week.. if that doesn't then I'm sure Sgt Squat and Lieut Lunge's training sessions will produce some results...

Trials and Tribulations of Exercise & Diet.

This is exactly how my week was.

I feel the same way...

Bunnies and Bow Wows

 Week 5 it is...Gulp that means there is a weigh in a comin'....
Have every of intention of getting a few extra gym visits in before it but who am I kidding-When I'm in there on the mandatory three sessions all I do is try to get as little done as possible . I am trying various methods of instructor distraction but find that if you can get the instructor to belly laugh you get at least 20 seconds- and lets face it... I am pretty funny. That or they are just pretending and die a little inside every time I crack a joke. I bet they are in the staff room drawing straws to see who gets to train the loony gym bunny boiler.



Ah I am just kidding about doing as little as possible- I do try my best- I have also learned how to do the plank and squats properly on Wills sessions. He is a ding er at  showing techniques. Also my mutts are getting their paws walked off them in the last 5 weeks. I remember a time when I used to go to the kennels with the leads and the dogs used to bound around in excitement trying to get out for the walk. Now they hesitate and hope that I had a gym session so I wont bring them over the 5 mile walk...  Look at them last Sunday wrecked from the walk...

Must bring them into Chris for a body fat analysis bet they are down as much as me...(",)

You Had me at Wine

I know. I know. I'm only cheating myself.

I fell off the wagon. Well is it called "falling" if it was planned?

I went to the last one six months ago with Tom Doorley  and I loved it. Food was devine and don't even get me started on the wines.....I couldn't resist it. Four weeks of being so faithful to my diet I  jumped into the carb sack for one night and one night only. But I didn't over do it- Yes there were six courses but they were small... cough cough.....Anyways enough about the carbs smarbs... back on the wagon and time to concentrate on my 6 week weigh in....

People have begun to notice my bodyshape changing with the gymwork and dieting which is motivating ...although my little black dress was nearly ruined by me walking around like Shrek in a Dress/John Wayne from Wills workout on Wed night- Seriously someone needs to tell that boy  I didnt sign up for bootcamp! I could just about do 20kg squats with Sgt Squat and then Will has to go and make me do 50kg squats in the Testosteroneville part of the gym.You know the area with the Freeweight men and the wifebeater vests...Throws the weights on the ground after a set, grunts, beats chest etc I feel myself becoming a little less feminine the more time I spend there...

3 weeks down.... 9 to go....

Gym instructors. They are funny ol things.



Let's do this!




Can't really bitch about the diet anymore so that only leaves the seven instructors to have a go off....








One instructor is so "mean" that he doesn't even give me the deserved 15 second rest between sets. He used to give me 10 and now its reduced to 5 seconds. And if you think you can distract him with idle chat and go over the 5 second rest period he takes the  extra seconds off the next set!


Just kidding about the bitchin- am enjoying it to much for that. I know they might say different as I tend to beg at the start of every session for them to take it easy or whinge all through that the weight is to heavy or (gasp) lie about the weight used in the last session so I might get away with a few kgs. I have even lowered myself at the start of a session to ask one if maybe they just wanted to sit and talk instead of the workout. That didn't work either. Damn. Losing my touch...

Assesment time

Finished my 12 days in a row training on Friday, which ment weigh in time!

My body fat percentage was what I was hoping to reduce and try not to focus on the the scales as the training should be building muscle which weighs heavier than fat...
I lost 3kgs and 6% body fat. IN JUST 12 DAYS! and loads of inches from all over but I won't bore you with all the measurments!
I was ecstatic. It made all the earlier days of lusting after bread and dragging my ass into the gym after long days at work worthwhile.
