Results Week 5

Weight: 102,6 kilos (226,19 lbs)

Results: -1,2 kilos (-2,64 lbs)

Soooo happy!!! Yey me!!!
I still don't think I'll make my goal for London, which is too bad, but this is giving me every bit of fighting-spirit I need to keep trying and that counts for a lot more! Continuity is my new friend and guiding star.

Summary Week 3

Well, nothing special to brag about this week either, a cold put a stop to any serious kind of training. Too bad--since it was my easy week at work and I had lots opportunities to work-out. I've started worrying about getting these colds all the time, I've never been sick this often before! I thought I'd get BETTER once I quit smoking, and I quit in December... And also I am a little worried that I might not have the best immune-system for swimming right now, my guess is that it might not be the most healthy environment in town... So, no more swimming before London, I do not want to risk having even the tiniest cold ruining our trip! I'll have to make do with walks and home work-outs for now...

But I took one 6,5 K walk and ran 1 K last week, a really intense week huh?... =)

Summary Week 2

Well, last weeks summary looked great and I wish I could've followed up this week, but it's my tough week at work (clocked in at 65 hours last night...) and as you know I've had some other problems to tend to as well... All is well with that now by the way. I'll try to be good now! All this has led to some serious cut-downs in my schedule when it comes to training:

PW's: 20,52 K       4 hours & 2 mins

Swimming: 1 K     40 mins

Not very good, I'm very disappointed in myself, but just have to try harder.

Disappointed!

When I finally got the stupid scales to work, they showed the same weight as last week!!! How is it possible??? I've exercised a lot and been really good with the food... I feel really down right now and it feels pointless to try so hard when there are no results. Talked to my wonderful colleague P-Å today, he's a certified PT and he told me to be patient, see all these 4 weeks through before I start to despair. It might take my body a little while to adjust and until then I won't see anything on the scales. I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't work! =(

Despite the blue mood today I went out on my usual 6,2 K PW with the dogs today, need to try as hard as I can this week. I worked 5 hours extra today, bringing this week's total to 65 hours... =/ It's really hard to find the energy to work-out these weeks, no matter what you guys might think. I'd love to have a normal job, working 8-17 Monday-Friday. Or a more physical job, where I'd get my training at work! Like when I worked with horses--I didn't need a gym or long stupid PWs, I was totally fit anyways!

Well, I'll have to try to keep myself going at least and give it these 4 weeks. If I haven't lost any weight then--maybe I'd better go see the doctor...

Summary Week 1

So, the first week of my challenge is coming to and end, weigh-in tomorrow--hopefully I've done something right...

Here's this weeks total summary when it comes to training:

PW's: 30,9 kilometers           5 hours & 3 mins

Swimming: 2, 75 kilometers   1 hour & 55 mins

I'm pretty pleased with that and I will do bad things to my scales tomorrow if they don't show a decent result... I'm afraid Anders might wake up early in that case... =/
But going in to the 2:nd week of my challenge, I am determined to put in a total of 3 kilometers of running and at least 3 home work-outs, even though this is my tough week with 60 hours at work... It'll all be worth it in London I hope...

What does your week hold?

A Good Start!

Today is the first day of my 4 week long challenge! I've been very nervous and a little anxious to get started and so afraid I'll let myself down again... But today the feeling is really good, both in mind and body and that helps a great deal!
I was really tired when the alarm went off this morning and I really just wanted to sleep, after working 36 hours this week-end. Anders thought I should, but I was stubborn enough to follow through on my plan: to get up with him, have my morning cup of tea and then an hours walk before breakfast. Said and done and I completed the walk with a good spring in my step, even though my left calf cramped last night and still strains pretty good. Wonderful weather, spring is really coming to town and the dogs were happy and pushing my to go faster... =)

So here I sit, just out of a refreshing shower, preparing a yummy breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 1 red grapefruit and another cup of white pomegranate tea! Works on my days off, won't work on workdays... Have to figure something out there...

Weighed myself this morning, lost half a kilo in the last week and though it's not much--it's still something and I haven't even tried that very hard! Last night we ate tacos and I LOVE tacos so I had three and then we had some goodbye-see-ya-in-four-weeks ice-cream, that my wonderful man had bought thinking it might not be okay in the coming weeks... <3

So here we go: 4 weeks and I will do this as very good as I can and I do hope for good support along the way! Tonight we're going swimming for the first time in 1,5 weeks and I'm really looking forward to it!

My new goal for this challenge is a two digit weight... Cheer me on, won't ya? =)
