2016 Goals
Welcome to Twenty-Sixteen! The year I lose 10kgs. And keep it OFF. I can lose 10-15kgs easy. It's keeping it off that is the problem.
Here's me now, at 89.7kgs,

Summer Time
I have a pool which is great for this Queensland heat that is here right now. I think I'll try to swim an hour or so a day in lieu of treadmilling until it gets moved into a sless sauna inducing environment ( Read more... ) -
Urgh
sighAny exercise is good exercise. I've been doing yoga for the last two weeks. It took me a while to get some people together to go with me and now I feel confident enough to go alone but still pretty self conscious around all the slender women in the class ( Read more... ) -
One week down,
Today marks a full week since I’ve gotten my treadmill and I am so impressed with the progress I’ve made in such a short time. I finally got to 300 calories today and I really pushed myself during the workout to jog at 8kmh and for a minute I even went to 11kmh.

Good begining to a good week!
Rest day was amazing. There really is nothing like a lazy Sunday. I slept and slept and slept. My alarms that I neglected to turn off completely woke me up every half hour from 6am to 8:30am and in my hazy, sleepy mind I didn’t understand how to turn it off. I continued to sleep on, however. I didn’t end up leaving my bed until mid-day ( Read more... ) -
Unexpected, but actually expected soreness
I woke up this morning and remembered why it was I didn’t exercise much.. or rather, at all. I had a knee operation a year ago for a total knee reconstruction. One of those silly accidents that happen when you’re having fun and the unexpected happens. But my poor knee was throbbing. I had to hobble on down stairs like a little old granny for ( Read more... ) -
Begining workout
Now I know I'm unfit as hell. I wouldn't reach 87kgs if I was fit. But I guess I just didn't realise just how unfit I was ( Read more... )
