Zumba is the greatest

Ok so after having the Zumba dvd's I finally put the instructional dvd on last night and had soo much fun. I'm happy I'm doing it at home because I look so uncoordinated but it was a blast and I was sweating up a storm in no time. I burn't 7 points in an hour session and there was a couple of breaks in there too. Can't wait to give the actual session a try tonight.

i've also decided o my 5% goal reward. I'm going to buy myself a pair of rollerskates. I use to love skating as a kid and now it's back in fashion it will be easy to buy a pair. I think it will be great for trimming down my hips, butt and thighs which, lets face it, needs the most work. So I did a bit of online browsing and picked out these ones


Aren't they awesome!!!!!!!!

So they are on my amazon wishlist and ready to be paid. All I have to do now is lose 6kg. It's given me alot more motivation to shift the weight. Especially because I have recently bought my niece a pair of roller skates and the other niece a scooter. So it will be great to go out with them and I'm sure they'll appreciated it too.

Hope your all having a great day. :o)

One step at a time

So I've decided to do an open blog with the opinion that it will keep me accountable to alot more people and my family and friends can check it and make sure I'm not saying horrible things about them. :o)

I felt really inspired after reading jessisfound she's just doing an amazing job and is a real inspiration to young people with a big weight to shift. i have 55kg to lose so there's a fair bit to shift.

I'm having great fun with my new pedometer today. I keep checking it and thinking it's just not high enough so go for a bit of a walk around the office to add more steps. Who would of thought that was going to work. I also bought Zumba last week but still haven't had a chance to do it. I think it's defiantly on my list of things to do for tonight.

I'm still working out this blog spot so bare with me. I'm trying to put a weight loss tracker on my page but can't quite figure it out. i just keep getting told that the URL is invalid. humph. oh well I'll get there.

Anyway should probably get some more work done.

D-Day

Ok so I was officially weighed in today and it was what I was expecting so at least I didn't get an initial shock. The amazing thing was that 6 other people joined in my meeting today. I couldn't believe it. It must be the time that everyone is thinking about their weight.


My leader is wonderful and is actually still on her journey so is incredibly realistic and open with us which i think was really helpful. I believe I'm all armed and ready to go. Bought some snaks and the awesome pedometer to track the points I burn.

I'm feeling so lucky to have an incredible boyfriend who is be super supportive and is actually showing interest in everything i'm doing which I'm finding really helpful. I'm doing well with tracking today but was desperatley hungry at 3:30 so had another WW muffin but I'm still inside my points allocation so that awesome.

Now it's time to read all the booklets and do some goal setting. until tomorrow, stay safe and eat well. :o)

Day one

Well it's time to get back into it all and I'm so happy to see how much extra help and support there is online. It's just fantastic to have an online tracker and calculator. WW really knows how to do it right. :o) I haven't actually gone to my first weigh in but very certain I won't be happy with the scales. I'm going to my first meeting tomorrow night and doing it solo for the first time but having my mum join me next week. I'm so excited to get to know everyone and find out everyones little weight loss secrets and share any I come across along the way.
