Michelle Bridges - Losing the last 5Kgs Blog Day by Day

Week Three Day Five

Thanks for your comments guys!

Yea must admit the motivation is starting to waive this week and had a few slip ups but being I'll doesn't help and not exercising fully pays it's price. Although I look at the bigger picture i have been regularly exercising for for almost 3 months and dieting for about 4 so it's advisable to take a break around now and start enjoying a few naughties for a week.

Came home and went for a run didn't push myself too hard just shy of 4km in about 20mins amazingly found it hard but speed was good 6mins a km nearly. Stitches were back and felt quite sick maybe too soon or the big lunch will see how I go in the morning.

I do believe if I had jumped straight into the book 4 months ago I would have lost 5kgs and more very easily however hitting a plateau and illness hasn't helped.

Ok so as promised some results for you....

Chest (cm) 100
Waist (cm) 93
Hips (cm) 95
Thighs (cm) 58

Push ups 10

Week Four Day Two and Three....

Hey all appologies for nOt getting on last night was wrecked.....

Things going well had a good day yesterday and did some strategic eating knowing that today was going to be a blow out - biggest morning tea!

As I've said before and have proved in my results strategic planning off foods works - so yesterday I made sure that I came in 300 cals or more then today I had a whopping 2000cals which cause your metabolism to basically sky rocket and all the things that cause your fat burning to slow after a week or so on reduce calories reset so tomorrow my body will be back at it's prime capability for loosing wait - this is perfect for smashing through a plateau too!

Just remember that this only works to your advantage one meal once a week and then eat regular on diet plan meals the remainder of that day. The following day smash a big workout and watch the weight drop off and eat lightly again with a defeict of 300 calories or more.

The above is a great tool to have under your belt and cam help you in planning around that special event where you now that sticking to a plan is impossible or you simply don't want too - I had my 26 birthday on Saturday And I fully intend to indulge but I also plan a good sid workout first think on Sat to counter act some of it!!

Ok so yeah ate pretty badly today but skipped dinner as wasn't hungry and made sure I got plenty of calories burnt through out the day. Came home and went for a run - I was really looking forward to it and it showed - was only 3.7km but I smashed it in 22mins 8.3km per hour avg - 2mins on myusual average!! Go me!

All the best and speak tomorrow!!

Week Four Day Four and Five

Nothing major to report, yesterday did my bigger calorie defiecit to allow for tomorrows super well earned splurge!!

Was full on day at work, the planned run didn't happen but walking around Airport West Shopping centre had to equal a few km's and the walks around work. Shopping for the party so only got chance to wrote to you all whilst at the hairdressers!

So the end is nearly near Sunday my four weeks are up and have I lost the last 5 kgs???? Well, your gonna have to wait a few more days will I reach my goal of 75kg for tomorrow? That's still within reach I think just got to find so
E time to get some work in!

Cleaning counts? Entire house to look forward too and then there's 300kg of wood to move!'

Well tomorrow I will upload my final pics and fitness test results after I kick in another super Saturday workout cardio and weights.

Oh and I'll upload the mp3 of the seminar for you as well!

Today planning on doing something

Hey all,

So I've come to the end of my four week journey - and what a journey I've been high, low, good days, bad days, but I've been consistent.

I've learned a new way of eating and balancing my treat foods with exercise and strategic fasting.

But this is not the end and for me personally setting a goal and achieving it used to mean I'd start to slip and end up back where I was in a few months.

I want to keep my new confidence In myself - I can do anything I put my mind too!

For the first time in a while I've also felt sexy! that's better than any gift in my eyes and a gift only you can give.

This weekend of indulgence has proven that was I am still drawn to bad choices but after consuming them they rarely taste like you dream they will.

Ok so the results..

10 May - 81.4 Kg
4 June - 74.5 Kg

Total loss - 5.9kg

A fantastic result - when really this result was acheived more close to 3 weeks due to illness and technically I've still got 5 days to go....

Chest was 100cm now 98cm
Waist was 93 now 87!!!
Hips was 95cm now 91.75
Thighs 58cm now 52cm!

Total weight loss to date - 11kg in a bout 9.5 weeks

Above is the proof that each and everyone of us can do this and smash it by having faith, believing in ones self and by being consistent not everyday but 6 days aiming for 7 days a week.

So what's next on my journey - I'm going to enter into a 10km fun run this year and am in training for my 1/2 marathon which I should complete in November.

Going to start pricing up for a personal trainer once a week to focus purely on the muscle gain.

Lastly, I'm looking into a change of career with training as a personal trainer.

I hope you have all enjoyed following these blogs and have found them inciteful and I hope that some of you go out and buy the book and give it a go yourselves.
