Week 18 - Weigh In

Last week - 75.0 kgs
This week - 74.1 Kgs
Loss - 900 Grams

As I explained last week, i'm not really sure what the actual weight for last week was as my scales weren't reading right, but I know they are reading right now, and i'm down to 74.1 kgs.

I ended up having quite a good week last week, and started to come to terms with the fat that i have actually lost weight and it is noticeable. Crossroads had a 70% off sale one day last week, so i went down bright and early to grab me some bargains. I ended up getting about $370 worth of clothes for $100, so i was pretty happy with that. All the clothes were size 14, except one size 12 shirt, and it fits too!

So due to getting a heap of new clothes, that actually fit me and don't look like a circus tent on me anymore, I decided to have a cull from my cupboard. This was the result..........
That's 6.5 garbage bags full of clothes that no longer fit! I'm almost certain i could have thrown out more too, but my cupboard was looking mighty bare! It also prompted a clean out of Darren's cupboards, and he's got another 2 bags full of his clothes. I'm so proud of him. He's gone from a tight size 40, to a 34, this year. He's running again, and looks pretty darn sexy, even if i do say so myself :-) It must be time to go on a shopping spree for him soon though, he's get very few pair of pants that actually fit him. We are heading down the the gold coast in a couple of weeks, so shall try and get him some new clothes at the factory outlets down there.

We discovered the other day, that between us, we have lost the weight equivalent of our oldest and youngest children. 40 odd kilo's! Now it's my job to knock off the weight of the middle child, so an extra 22 kilo's! I'm not sure i could even do that, as my goal is 60, so 14 kgs, but darren could possibly make up the slack lol.

What else is news. Hmmmmm, exercise. I think i pushed it a little too hard last week. I ended up with really sore knees and shins, to the point that i couldn't run. I am really struggling with this week on C25K. It involves a 5 min warm up, followed by a 90 second jog, 90 seconds walk, 3 minute jog, 3 mins walk, and repeat the jog/walk stage once more. I think I am going to be stuck on this week for a few weeks. I completed the first day, but failed miserably at the other 2 days. I'm going to be trying again this week, but i will not be allowing myself to move on until i can do it three times in a row.

I am considering moving the bed out of the office, and putting all the exercise equipment in there. The cross trainer is huge though, and i'm not certain i will actually be able to get it in there. It currently lives in the garage, and boy does it get hot in there. Would be nice to have everything together in a room though, and out of the living areas. We'll have to see how it all pans out, it's way too much work to do on my own!
