Well I made it to Richards spin class this morning a little tired but that didn't last long.Richard that was a good class. I then went home and organized the children before leaving them in Rogers capable hands to drop them at school while I did rather a hot long muscle working walk to the Point with Amanda. It is so good how all the trainers are willing to give up there time to help us on this mission. Thanks for setting the pace and working me well Amanda I really do appreciate it. Well feeling quite worn out this afternoon it is time to make a healthy dinner and a rest until tomorrow. I have worked hard this week so hopefully another bit of weight has dropped from me.

This morning I went down to the gym but I went for a walk to the point and back. It was quite hot with the sun beating down on me. I did short spurts of jogging but not as much as the other day as my neck and head were still a bit tender. My walk made me sweat quite well and my heart rate increase. This evening I did Amanda's fit key class which I worked hard at while discussing with Greg about what the training session could be about. I also warned him not to
get smart with the trainers or else we could be in trouble. It wasn't me I promise. Amanda has put my name down for spin at 5.30 in the morning so I must go and rest so I can function at that time of the morning. Until tomorrow sleep well all.

Today I woke again with a sore neck and when I hopped out of bed my head made me feel sick. I knew I needed to visit the chiropractor. After school drop off I went to my chiropractor to try to get an appointment and it was perfect timing as he just had a cancellation at 9.00. I pulled out of fit key sorry Logan but after getting worked on I still felt strange but I knew I had to do my Personal Training session with Richard. Thanks for being flexible with the training session but I still did push myself as much as I could. It was quite a full on session. Thanks for the tips Angela you gave Richard he obviously took it on board. I went home and iced my neck and showered for my day at work. It was feeling quite tender around 5.00 so I didn't think it was such a good idea to do circuit session. My neck is feeling quite strange and it sends pains into my head depending on which angle it's facing. Hopefully I will be fine tomorrow but I still will do my 90min walk. I can't waste time,there are still things I can do to help my weightloss journey I can always pop the pills for pain. Going for a relax bath before bed.

I started my morning with 20 minutes on the elliptical machine before jumping into Angela's Spin Class. It was a full on class especially when your bum still feels bruised from Sunday. I pushed through the class and ended with plenty of sweat dripping from me. I felt well worked and all I needed was a cool shower and hair wash to make me feel ready for a days work. After returning home from work I decided to take Roger's fit key class from him again. Wow I did the stepper properly for the 10 minutes after doing the grinder and the sit down arm and leg machine near the treadmill. Richard kept on me during the class which made me more determined to do the stepper right. I am a bit scared about tomorrow's PT session with Richard as he was watching other trainers and thinking that would be good. Be very very careful Richard
I would like to survive the session.

It's the day after our bike ride and at this point in time not feeling to bad my legs aren't hurting to much at all. My bottom may be a bit bruised though. A Personal training session with Richard today. I know I asked for upper body but oh my goodness It was burning my arms really bad. I made it through the session and ended with 20min on the bike and some stretches. I thought if I kept my legs moving for a while it might stop them from hurting to badly in the next day or so.
It is good to look back on what we have done in this new you challenge and see just what we have achieved fitness wise and mentally so far. Greg has been working really well and I can't wait to be as good as he is at the challenges. Keep up the training mate.

Well what can I say after arriving at the gym with the 4wd and my bike on the back I walk upstairs to the gym where a wonderful good morning by Darren . Well Diary check and all going well I need to add some carbs into the plan but not bad. Next thing that I heard was Ange saying we are of to manly. WHAT THE .. That's bloody miles away.Lets go says Angela. So Angela,
Richard, Greg and Myself headed on our journey on the tracks and the road which was interesting. What can I say "how do you get into things like this". Working out which gear I am suppose to be in was quite funny as Richard calls out go down with the left and up with the right.
Thanks for the advice or we may not of got home again. After some hills board walks and the road we were at Lota. Oh my goodness how cool we made it to Manly. A short break and a phone call to home to tell Rog where I had gone we headed back towards Cleveland. With a bottom burning from being on the bike seat so long we pushed our way home. We had some more hills but I kept pushing with all my might to the top. My gear changes improved on the way home Wahoo! Darren was on deck up rather a large climb to take the DREADED PHOTOS.
We all made it to the top and it was time to catch my breath while still riding the flat. We then
pushed our way along the streets and tracks and before we knew it Cleveland was here. Wow what an adventure thanks to you all for ensuring we all got back with no injuries but sore legs.
I am proud to say that I made it! We weighed in on return and yes another loss 1.7 that makes 5 kilos to date in 3 weeks.

What a day I have been to basketball in the morning , done the grocery shopping and fixed the bikes that we own and then late this afternoon we did a family bike ride. We rode to Cleveland point and back but added side streets and detours along the way. We gave the children a treat
of an ice-cream at the other end and the big kid to. But I settled for a drink of beautiful water.
We needed to do a ride so that i didn't feel stupid tomorrow falling off or not knowing how to do the gears right. I am positive that I will survive the bike ride/expedition where ever it may take us. The fear of not knowing where we are going scares me more than anything. Well I hope Greg isn't real flash on the bike so then I won't feel so awkward. Well I good nights rest is in order so I can function at full capacity tomorrow. I'll keep you updated with where in the world I end up tomorrow. Sleep tight all.

Arrived at the gym for my weight cardio session my arms were really burning after the sets I did. I only managed 40 minutes in the gym but at least I made it there. My energy levels have improved since the start of the challenge and for the first time in years my parents actually said that it looks like I have lost weight. Wow that was great to hear. I'm not sure what the weekend is going to bring but I will start with my son Brendan's basketball game at 8.00 in the morning. Its his first proper game playing for his school. That will hopefully set me up for being ready to go get whatever is install for us on Sunday. I'm a little scared about weigh in on Sunday. Hopefully a loss. ( The massage last night from Rog felt great perhaps I should go and get a proper one.) It's not as bad as I thought it would feel.

Arriving at the gym this morning I was a little tired but I knew that if I didn't do my walk then I wasn't going to get time. So off I went I said I can do this so after crossing the street I started jogging for a while then took a rest by walking fast till my heart rate started coming back down and then off i would go again. I did this on the way down to the point and then I did it on the way back for half of the way but the heat was getting too much so I pushed myself to get back in plenty of time to be able to cool down with a 20 min bike ride and stretch my muscles. I felt wrecked but the heat had a lot to do with that. A well deserved shower and a days work followed by a spin class with Jessie which was quite a hard class and I was ready for a relaxing shower and a back massage for the aching back muscles. Well weights and cardio tomorrow but that is after seeing my son Brendan get a Well Done Award on assembly. Well must go before I miss out on the back massage.

Children drop off and the roads had me arrive a few minutes before fit key. It was great to see such a full class in the morning. We did 3 machines 10 minutes on each. I started on the stand up grinder which I don't know that it was the right move after finishing on it last night. My arms were burning. The bike gave my legs a work out and then the bike and grinder in one was my last machine. It was a good workout but once finished there it was time for...Richards time to train me. Well what can I say. He is pushing me hard I think but I am getting through it which is also good. Thanks Richard I can feel it working on me for the better. I do appreciate it.
Well I must shower and pack my lunch bag for the day and unfortunately can't do tonight due to work comittments or else I would be there doing Mel's circuit class. My thought for the day Think positive and confident.

This morning I was feeling down and emotional. I don't really know why I felt confused. I had a talk to Angela this morning who reassured me that all was fine and that I can do this. Thanks Angela I don't no what got over me. Today I did a half hour warm up on different fit key machines before going into Angela's spin class. That was a pretty full on cycle class but finished with plenty of sweat pouring off me. I felt I did well I didn't slacken off I pushed throughout the class. Tuesday night I took Rogers fit key class from him thanks Rog but that made me feel like I hadn't slackened off with my training. My muscles were tight after this session so a well deserved bath of Radox will go down well and ready for another action packed day of training and classes.

What a morning still a little stiff especially in my right hip. Well a training session this morning with Richard. Richard new how to shut me up and keep me going . I warmed up quite quickly and pushed my way through the session. Angela was checking up on me asking me how I was feeling from the weekend I think I gave her my serious, how do you think I am look. My session ended with the good old mountain climber which I think I feel more confident on I think I went quite well.
I stayed to do a hill climb on the bike in which I raised the strength to make me work harder for 20 minutes. At the end I was due for a nice cool shower and a protein bar. I am feeling a little sore but confident of another good week of training in the gym.

Today I woke up a little sore from the trek on Saturday. I got up and stretched my body to help it feel a little better. My hand and wrist was a little sore that was probably from my entertainment of tumbling a couple of times but it's okay. I did my grocery shop today my trolley is still looking very healthy. This afternoon we went on the hour and a half walk with the family and I pushed Mitchell on his trike bike which was pretty hard going at times. It was great to get everyone out in the fresh air sharing our time together. I treated myself a sushi roll today which was my special treat. Yum! Tonight I had leftovers of the turkey mince kidney bean and vegetable dish. The children didn't like that dish but I did. I had a Radox bath as I was a little stiff on return from the walk tonight. Well I better rest well as I have a training session with Richard tomorrow morning.

Well what can I say it's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. Well not me I was ready and raring to go this morning hiking boots and hydration packs and ready for my challenge. Hang on weigh in first well I am happy with 1.2 loss so that is good and helps to keep me motivated for the day. After jumping into Darren's car in the pouring rain it was time for a mystery trip down the highway to a little place near Alston ville wow we did out toilet stop and away we went . Got to the fence line and said Oh Shivers what have I got myself into here. With climbing sticks in our hand we trekked up this bloody great hillside thank goodness there were flats along the way so you could have a breather. After quite a few choice words and Angela chatting away motivating me before we new it we were at the top of this hill. That felt good I achieved this climb but oh we need to get back down. Off we went streams of water running down the hill and
quite a few squishy squashy places we headed down. This was entertaining I fell down twice making a bit of a comedy act for Angela to enjoy. At last we were back on the bitumen and firing at the fact that We had made it. A well deserved breakie to follow and coffee. Thanks for the inspiring day on the mountain looking forward to see how much better I can do next time
Thanks Angela and Darren for the motivation along the way you are great fun to be training with.

Friday: Well it is off to the gym this morning for weights and circuit training for an hour. I had a good session and after had a chit chat to some of the clients at the gym. I feel like I'm living at the gym but it's feeling great to be there feeling so focused at the job at hand. Well I am feeling quite SCARED about what is going to happen tomorrow including the weigh in. I have trained hard and I hope there is results as I am feeling it in my clothes.

Today I woke up and realized oh bugger that time of the month. I am hoping that it won't affect my weigh in to much on Saturday. Well another day of training it was a brisk walk out to the point and back. I didn't take my music today but who came to the rescue Richard my trainer.
Thanks for taking the time to check on me and keep me going all the way back with some general chit chat as to how life is going with family, work and of course how to keep positive throughout this challenge when times get tough. It is great to have such supportive trainers around the gym that keep you focused and on track. It was good to catch up with Greg tonight at the gym to see how he is feeling. We discussed the foods we have been eating and how we have been feeling with in ourselves. Keep going Greg we are doing well. Lets see what Saturday brings for us Mate. It's getting late and time to get ready for bed so that I can train hard again tomorrow.

My morning started with a fit key class followed by interval work and then on my personal training session. Well what can I say I am definitely getting fitter and I think stronger. Well after fit key I was quite hot and sweaty but I kept working until my PT session with Richard.
Richard is pushing me hard ,well I think so. I really like the way Richard pushes you along.
At the end I was ready to go home for a well deserved shower. I have been so good with my food and have had so many temptations put in front of me and I have been really strong and haven't touched anything naughty and all I have been drinking is water and my daily ration of coffee.

Quite a warm morning I was keen to start my spin class today. I worked really well and constant throughout the session. I was listening to some of the great songs Angela played during the class and relating them to thoughts about what is going to happen to me during this next 7 weeks.
Oh it's getting a little more mind boggling just what we are going to be put through. I am still really enjoying this challenge and can't believe that I am coping with my food and exercise so well. Well I must go as who knows what Richard has install for me in the morning after the fit key session. It was really good to go to spin today and get a lot of friendly support from other clients at the gym, Thank you.

I was raring to go this morning after feeling a bit emotional on the way down. I started with a walk increasing the elevation along the way waiting for my personal training session with Richard. Richard has really increased the benchmark with the training. I don't think i have ever
acheived that much in a training session before. I had sweat going everywhere. Thanks Richard.
I stayed for an hour and did more interval training after my session and I was stuffed at the end.
I had the yummy chickpea and veges for lunch with tuna . I had my protein bar in the afternoon.
I am really looking forward to dinner as we are having Salmon and veges how yummy.

Weigh in day . I lost 2 kilograms from my initial weigh in so I've done well. It was then down to the First of Angela's training sessions. Oh my goodness Yes we were pushed just like I thought.
After the session I felt rather wrecked but after calming down I don't feel too bad. I went home to make a egg white omlette with mushrooms and tomato. Yum! It didn't taste too bad. No greg it wasn't what you were talking about all training session Bacon and eggs. Well must go and work out my next week menu before going to the shops on my shopping spree. Lean meats,fruit and veges galore
Keeping in touch

Well today Is my long walk day so I left it to the afternoon when it wasn't to hot so I could power along to my music. I was constant with my speed and I enjoyed this walk. Tomorrow is the big end of week one weigh in. I am keen to see how the scales read.
Touch base tomorrow.

It was a morning at the gym where i was doing weights and cardio. I was a bit unsure about this but the trusty trainers were there to guide me with what I should try and cover. Thanks Richard and John it's great to see everyone helping where they can as it helps me keep on going.
I built up my arms and back muscles and they were sore at the end. My lunch today was chicken and corn soup 1 small bowl and a small piece of watermelon. This afternoon I felt quite tired around five so I hope it will be an early night and that I'm not to sore for what tomorrow might bring. 1 more day to train before weigh in on Sunday S C A R E Y STUFF. I'm sure we will be right Greg.
Stay tuned to see what to come over the weekend.

Thursday 5 February:
Today I went on my long walk which was from the gym to the point and back. I did well although it was very hot. I walked to the point and on the way back I did short spurts of jogging to keep my heart rate up. At the end it felt like I had really acheived something. My fitness will get better the more I keep doing these stints. My food was really good I actually enjoyed lunch which was tuna and chickpea and veges.
Tonight I did a Fit key session which got the sweat coming off me quite well. I am feeling really confident about this experience. I have never felt like this before. Well it's night night time
so I can get back into it tomorrow.
Thanks Annette

Wednesday:
What a morning after the school drop off it was off to the gym for a fit key session which i gave it all I could give. I had sweat pouring from me from everywhere. I felt that I had really worked hard in this session. I then had my personal training session with Richard who pushed me and my muscles in my arms, that it felt like they were going to pop. Imade it but I felt exhausted but only until I had a shower and freshened up. My food and water intake is going well and I have been to the shops and haven't even looked at anything that I shouldn't. I feel that I am doing really well and staying really positive and strong.

Annette's New Year Mission
Hi all !
Well lets start at Saturday when we had our photo shoot. I am not a fan of the camera with my big fat body, so I will say that was quite nerve racking. but also fun in other ways. Then my video entry was fun but when put on the spot you really don't think straight as there is so much going through your mind. My reading of my husbands entry for me made me choke up and feel quite emotional. I love the way he is supporting me in this mission.
Grocery shopping well what can I say . Thanks for the very informative shopping experience as
all the myths you hear about different foods was eased. Fruits and veges we were told to get as much as we wished to. I asked lots of questions in this area and yes Angela new exactly what to say. The meat department was really stomach churning as you see how much fat lies in some pieces of meat. The nutrition panel was very interesting but so much went through my brain I need Angela to write down what it was all about so I don't forget. Going through the registers I felt proud and excited about the changes in the fridge and pantry.
Monday well 9.00 was my personal training with Richard it was challenging but boy I felt ready to go. I did well and felt like I had really worked. I stayed after and did an hour walk
which also was good as I set challenges along the way. That night I ended up doing my husbands Personal training session and a Spin class. I felt tired but proud of myself. I did well with my food and water intake.
Tuesday: Woke a little sore from the blisters on my feet and certain muscles in my body. Well today I did a Spin session and did I work hard I had sweat dripping from me which isn't usually
the way I am. Maybe it's because I am drinking plenty of water and I'm hydrated. Once again I had another satisfying day with my food and water. I am excited.
