Yesterday I (turtle pace!) jogged all the way to the grid and back for our bootcamp workout. First time ever! My friend turned her distance counter on her watch on at the start of it and by the time we got back it had just hit 1km. 😁 Bootcanp was pretty successful too, didn't feel like I was going to die. Having said that,…

Walked outside for my walk this morning and it was spitting rain 😁 (where I live is in the middle of an ongoing drought, so we love the rain), went to check the radar in the hopes that just maybe it was back up (it's been out since Saturday), nope still down. Normally if I didn't know if there was rain coming I would go…

Slept in until after 6 this morning but still went out for my walk/jog. Done w2d2 of c25k again, working on speed. I was aiming to stay above 8km/hour. I did slip under that in run number 5, but pushed myself and got back above it. Got a stitch after run 3, usially that would be an excuse to just stop and walk the rest of…

The 1st bootcamp session for 2019 was yesterday. I survived it! Not only did I survive it, I actually feel like I done pretty darn well for having 6 weeks off from intense workouts. I even managed to jog most of our warm up. Usually I jog to the corner, then walk until the fastest person passes me on his way back then turn…

Bittersweet moment iver the weekend when my "young" (shes 9....) mare outran her mother in the barrel racing arena! Picked up 2nd place on Gina (mother) in the 3rd Division on Saturday. Shakaya ran into the 2nd Division. Then Sunday Shakaya picked up 2nd in the 2nd Division! Gina was low 3rd Division. That means Shakaya is…

I know it's technically a scale victory, but also a nsv since I've been chasing it for so long. I've *FINALLY* hit under 100kg as of Monday. I think it's been over 5 years since I've been under the hundred, it felt amazing seeing double digits instead of triples. Also, so far this week I've woken up every morning to do a…

Bought a bag of bite size variety chocolates the other day to have one each night for my dessert since I feel like I am finally in control of my eating. I've had like 4, I find myself reaching for the yoghurt (weighed out and logged of course) most nights instead. This is huge because I've never been a yoghurt person…

The instructor cancelled bootcamp yesterday afternoon due to some beautiful rain we received (most of the work is outdoors) so took myself off to the gym, but my card wasn't working. Came home and still put myself through a quick workout that had me panting and sweating. Then this morning I knew the ground was going to be…

Tonight I finally made it back to the gym to complete a workout. I tried to talk myself out of it, then snapped myself out of it, even when my partner pointed out that it was already 8pm which would make it around 9 by the time I got back. I would usually prefer to get home by 8:30 most nights seeing as I need to get up at…

My goals include Reverse curls, pull ups/chin ups and "proper" push ups. I do lady ones atm, as for the others, I can't even at the moment. But I plan to!

Woke up at 4:30 and done W1D2 of c25k. Had to pause the timer a couple of times to walk out a stitch before continuing, but I done it. Even after trying to convince myself to skip my ride this morning and go back to my warm bed for another hour, but faced the cold and even SWEATED. Admittedly I had a heavy coat, a scarf…

Today we done the beep test at bootcamp. I got to 2.6. My last attempt was 2.7 so have gone a little backwards, BUT instead of sitting and watching while everyone else continued, I caught my breath and joined back in and when I was getting breathless again I slowed down to a turtle pace jog and kept on waddling. Time to…

Our bootcamp instructor was busy with other committments today and instead of using it as an excuse to go home, we put ourselves through a training session. Not as intense as our usual efforts without the instructor encouraging us so strongly, but we all still put in a decent effort and didn't pyke

Have woken up at 4:30 every morning except yesterday to fit in a walk with my dog and a ride on my horse this week. Yesterday I slept in until 5:20 then went for a walk. The reason I slept in yesterday was not that I just didn't feel like getting up, but because my horse needs one day a week off and I make that Thursdays,…

4:30 was so hard this morning. But i made myself get up. About 10 minutes into my walk I felt so much better for doing it. Squeezed in a quick training session on my barrel horse too (I've promised myself I wouldn't compete on her until i got under a certain weight since she's a bit smaller. We have a memorial barrel race…

1st bootcamp session on 3 weeks- almost hit 30 seconds at 15Km/h on the treadmill. Would have made the full 30 if it wasn't for my hand bumping the emergency stop button too! Oh well, next week

*The only workout you regret is the 1 you didn't do *In 10 minutes it won't matter to you that you didn't eat "insert unhealthy choice here" hell, you'll be proud you turned temptation down. But if you give in, in an hour you will still be kicking yourself for it *Losing weight is hard, being overweight is hard. Choose…
