10kg (22lb lost) comparison photos - (15kg/33lb to go)

10kg reached!!

So wow! I just made 10kg. On the same day that Sarah smashed 10. So proud. So it took 4 months to do it but I don't care - my body will thank me for it. Comparison photo coming! Watch this space!

9.5kg down! 79kg!

Hello! I am under 80kg! I didn't quite believe it when I weighed 79.8kg last week, so hopping on this week and seeing 79kg is just amazing. I have been losing little amounts lately as I go a few days without tracking then only track for the last few.

The problem also was that my partner and I bought cheap Easter chocolate and that is a bad thing to have in the house. Even if he hides it, I find it. There are just some things I can't have in the house. Though, the Creme Egg is sitting in a jar on the shelf and I won't touch that until 10kg lost. Although, the funny thing is, the closer I get to it - the less I want it.

8.4kg lost total!

So I didn't reach my 10kg by Easter - that's okay. I still haven't had my Cadbury Creme Egg reward yet. I did have chocolate yesterday - but nothing like I would have eaten in previous years. I figure I'll still let myself have the chocolate when I reach 10kg.

I really want my 15kg lost massage! Right. Great week ahead.

7.9kg down!

Wow! I have 2.1kg to go in my Easter challenge (10kg off by Easter) - but I am not worried if I don't get it - I have decided that I am allowed the chocolate egg when I do get to 10kg. But we shall see - it would be great to be sitting at 78.8 in 2 weeks time.

I am 80.6 - hovering so close to that 'in the 70s' moment that will be so utterly awesome. It is a milestone to get past and a barrier. I can't wait to say 'never in the 80s again'.

This week I am planning on heading to the gym a few times and making sure that I have at least 3 times 20 minute cardio sessions - even if I do 6 times 10 minute sessions at home - boxing, skipping, dancing, general silliness, cycling - but get that heart rate up.

A 15km ride today!

I would have never thought a year ago I could ride 1km let alone 15! My boyfriend and I entered into one of the bike week circuits around the city and rode through the 7km underground section of the new tunnel that has been built. It was a fantastic ride, which we completed in a little over an hour with a few stops along the way to take photos.

I am so proud of myself. Sore, but proud

Total loss of 7.2kg!!!

So between my last post and this post I got some simple maths wrong. Last time I was at 6.9kg lost (not 6.5 silly me) - so this week with a loss of 400grams I am now 7.2kg lost! I am really happy with myself, and I believe I have had a good week with some good exercise sessions. I had a few days where I ate a bit too much, and one day where I ate a meal made for me which I just had to eat out of politeness (it was a cream-based pasta meal). Overall 400 grams is excellent!

I am so pleased with myself. Above are two pictures of me with my new Maiocchi dresses that I got on sale (they are Summer dresses!). Very very exciting! I am also really sick today with a rather nasty cold that kept me up all night and the pressure in my head is a killer. It means I can't exercise at the moment but I am hoping I will be well enough tomorrow to do some weights. I am also nearly 1/3 of the way there!
