Back again

So yesterday was my day back blogging in a while and I'm determined to get in a rhythm of regular updates, so I’m back!

So today was another gym day. Yesterday I went as well and did my cardio and strength training. And today, for the first time ever, I was sore from strength training. When I get sore it’s usually from cardio, sore legs from running or cycling too much. I was a it disappointed I had to rest and give up today’s strength circuit I had planned but I did LOTS of cardio. In fact I matched my best session ever. 2.5 hours and 1200 calories!

And what I am pleased about is my calorie rate has improved from the last few weeks. Usually I sit about 6 calories per minute but today it worked out to be 8. I think it’s from the 40 minute treadmill section. I had it pretty steep and was about +20 beats per minute higher than when I bike steadily. And it was a lot less of a strain too, seeing as I have to bike with high resistance to get my heart rate up at all. But I still spent a lot of time on the bike.

I did 20 kilometres! I’ve never looked at the distance screen, just the rotations per minute and my BPM so I was quite surprised. I managed it at 13.3 km per hour, which I found out from a trusty iPhone app. I think I’ll use it every session to map my progress. I think if I have something to beat it will motivate me to improve.

Anyway, I’m pretty motivated at the moment. I’m 100 grams off my lightest since early 2010. It’s a bit of a mini goal even though my main goal is to get under 100kgs. But the fact that the scale is moving downwards has me in a really motivated mood. I’ve been hovering on 105kgs for a few weeks. I’m confident by tomorrow I’ll have at least lost my 100g (from what I weighed in this morning, not now).

Anyway I think I better get my eggs off the stove so I don’t burn the kitchen down like last time. Adios!

I'm back!

So sorry that I havent written. For days and days I've been thinking about writing but avoiding it because I though "I don't have anything meaningful to write". Well I decided that doesn't matter! Otherwise I may never write.

So what's happened? Well I've had a plateu and then my weight loss has picked up. I weighed in at 104.5kgs at about 11pm tonight and I usually vary about 1kg at night from morning when I do all my weigh ins. I was very happy. It even motivated me to go to the gym and had a good session there. I've loaded all my footy panel shows on my phone and so will watch them in the gym. Have also been re-reading the Hunger Games series, wich has been fun. I'm now enjoying doing weights now. I used to love cardio and just tolerate the weights but I really do like it now.

TAFE has been going okay too. Frustrating at times in the group and I haven't had motivation to do work early. They don't really have a lot of work involved and hefty deadlines like Uni. It's a bit cruisy, but still, all my assesments so far I have passed. The group work can be random though. Today my members had a massive fight and one stormed off, so the other left to go home and then the first one to storm off came back and wanted to know where the other was. Sigh.

Anyway, that drama totally exhausted me and then as I was leaving I looked at my phone and saw the weird call button on it. I didn't know if I had tapped to call someone or what as if I got a call I would have thought I would hear it. So I answered it and it was DCP! They want to interview me for the country position. I forgot to ask which job it was as I applied for a few. Anyway, it's next Monday at 10. She said it may last until 11.15 and so I reorganised work to delay til 12. But I'm a bit worried I wont be able to get from the city to my work in time. It's at least a 30m drive. Hopefully I wont be late. :(

Though if the interview gets me a job, it wont matter, I spose! Though it is a wonder if I can finish my units for the semester before I take the job. Would hate to lose my 6 weeks of work. Though it's a 12 week course, the interview will be Week 7, they took 3 weeks to let me know last time. So that puts me in Week 10 I would get to know. And if I have to move to the country I'm sure they would give me 2 weeks leeway. Hopefully :)

Anyway that's about it for now. I'm hoping I'll get the job! And I'm re-energised by my weight loss number. :)

Good night!
