I got talking to my friend Kristie about losing some weight and she mentioned that she had joined up to Weight Watchers and also started going to the local gym!
Sometime during the beginning of April I signed myself up to the same gym and so began my "workout sessions". At the beginning, I completed a 'time trial' on the bike, basically, how far can you go in 10mins?? well.. i went 6kms. Not bad for a couch potato hey! My sessions started with, doing 10mins warm up on the treadmill, 3x15lap pull down, 3x15 leg curly thingys, 3x15 chess presses, 3x15 ball squats (big ball against the wall, squat down, stand up..) and 3x15 sit ups on the fitness ball. I remember joking with Dylan (the gym dude) that I was to unco (unco-ordinated) to do these!! This was then finished off by 15 mins on the treadmill and 15 mins on the stationary bike!. I woke up the next morning not being able to move.
On the 20th April 2009, I signed up online with Weight Watchers. Holy crap, I was really starting to do something with my weight!! My starting weight was 111kgs, and I had 24 points worth of food to get through each day!
After some "disagreements" with several sets of scales, I have settled on the basic WW ones - this was a huge deal for me cos I had never owned a set of scales before - I had only ever been weighed at the doctors or hospital!
My first weigh in was a bit of a fizzer because of all the dramas with the scales so I sorta just "passed and stayed at 111kgs.
My second weigh in (4 may)saw a loss of 3.4kgs but I am fairly certain this was due to the previous malfunctioning scales.
My third weigh in (11 may) saw my very first gain of 1kgs - BUT I had been to a wedding 2 days earlier and drunk too much wine and the previous day was Mothers Day.. lets just say I didnt eat any good food that day!I hang on.. yes i did!! there was mudcake AND cheesecake involved!!))
On the 14th May I had my "review" at the gym where I was again weighed - the gym scales were the same as my home scales! YAY! to start with, another 'time trial' was taken on the bike - this time I done 6.5km in 10mins which Dylan was happy with, I personally thought I could have done better!! My program now included 10min warm up on treadmill, 3x15 lap row thingys, 3x15 chess presses, 3x20 weighted ball squats, 3x20 sit ups on the fitness ball, 3x1min "hovers", 3x15 weighted squats and 3 sets of lunges. Just for kicks, there is also 15 mins on the dreaded x-trainer at LEVEL 4 and then 20 mins interval training on the bike... I found new muscles this day!!
Back on track the next week, my 4th weigh in (18 may) showed a loss of 2.2kgs!! whoo hoo!
This is where it all stands as of today! my journey has well and truely started!
With Love, Kyls
