Good WEDNESDAY morning! May 14, 2008
Good Wednesday morning - I honestly forgot to do my HYC weigh-in yesterday. So I faced the music and jumped on the scales this morning… I’m back over 75kg and sitting at 75.4kg…. grrr.
Er.. not really surprising given the ‘extended’ holiday and the amount of crap Ive been eating over the past 2 weeks. :) Oh well, I enjoyed it and now its time to get back to reality and continue to mission to loose 15kg (5kg down, 10 kg to go) and become a healthier, happier and thinner me.
I am very excited about the next phase of the HMC (healthy me challenge), the move to New Zealand. Its going to be so fabulous to have access to the food I am familar with (the healthy stuff of course) and be able to get out and about easily (its too hot and polluted to walk much here). My mission is going to be teaching myself how to cook.
I am going to buy myself some dark coloured walking shoes (that wont look naff with my dark business attire) and am going to add walking to my daily ‘get to work’ routine. I will be saving money (for future travels) so I will bring my lunch to work x4/week and treat myself to bought lunch once a week.
I am also seriosly pondering spending $900 on a 12 week PT/Gym membership to kick start the ‘fit’ part of the new me. The programme I am looking at is a 12 week program called Body Revolution - they are going to work me hard. That is just what I need…. a supervised program and a trainer who will give me a kick up the arse!
But Julia… you didn’t use your old gym membership!
I know… but this membership will be different… the gym is in the same building as my office, its a GREAT gym (Les Mills, they sell their classes around the world… Body Pump, Body Jam, Body Balance…etc) and it will be winter in New Zealand so its the best time to do the gym thing. Oh, and a few of my friends at work go to this gym so I suspect I will end up going to group classes with them… that will be fun.
Yes… well… that is where I am at at the moment…. I think I need to loose at least 90% of the rest of the weight before I head overseas again in September (not sure where I am going yet, its looking like China, South Korea or the UK)… so New Zealand is going to be a healthy and happy time for me. I am going to see some fabulous results and I am very excited.
Joining a gym in the building where you work sounds like a good idea. Keep making healthy choices!
great! keep it up..
be patient always.. 
WOW check out all that determination! YOU GO! You are so going to reach all your goals. I think it sounds like you have super ideas for getting where you want to go!!
Keep up the inspiring work!!

The gym sounds like a plan! It helps to have friends to encourage you to go. I agree with Felicia! You go girl!
I love the Les Mills workout program. We get it at the gym I belong to (and try to get to at least twice a week).
Body Pump is fantastic for toning and strength and check to see if they offer gliding–you’ll love it!
An affiliate of my gym has the Les Milles program. I’m eager to read about your experiences. (hint-hint)
Glad you’re back on plan. Onward and upward…er, downward.
I wouldnt worry about that. thats not much and it will come off real fast once you are back in your routine.
You go girl! I know you can do it!
