April results

Nde Ewo,

Well it is now the end of the month – which means what? Results time! This felt like a good month for me – I did well with my eating this month, and really stepped up with the exercise. But first – what I’ve been up to!

So my last update was on Monday – and I had my PT session on Monday arvo. I got worked hard on the treadmill – AND I RAN FOR 5 MINS STRAIGHT!! This is my longest time EVER – It was at a slightly lower speed – 9 km/h, but still a good pace. I also did more on the rower – I did 3 sets of 500 metres – which worked out to be about 6 minutes pretty full on. Also did time on the bike & did weights & some core exercises. A good session – followed by a walk home.

Tuesday I worked from Chatswood, and went to an appointment, then to Starlight straight after. So to do my exercise, I got up early again, and did my run/walk up into North Sydney again. I know I pushed myself as I was pretty sweaty at the end!

Wednesday I had a massage after work. My masseur, Milan, is a trained Naturopath and Masseur & also is at Sydney uni training to be a Doctor at the moment. He told me that there has been a significant positive change in my muscle mass, and thinks I’m doing really well! After this I had a good workout – I was going to do 30 mins on the cross trainer, but at 25 mins the cross trainer started wobbling a bit. At 27 mins it was wobbling even more, and started clunking against the support leg. I decided to hop off at that point! I then did another 3 sets of 500 m on the rower, and then 20 mins on the treadmill, some weights, and walked home!

Thursday was my group session – ‘boot camp’. We concentrated more on strength this time, doing plenty of crunches, pushups, weights and more. We also did a little cardio up front. Afterwards I wanted to do some more cardio, so went to jump on the cross trainer – and guess what… It was broken! From the previous night where it was wobbling on me, it had completely snapped!!! Imagine if that happened when I was on it!!! So Richard challenged me to 15 mins on the rower – and to keep it between 2:10 & 2:15 in a 10 min & 5 min set. I really didn’t think I could do it – but guess what – I did! 10 mins = 2:12 & 5 mins = 2:13! Not too shabby. Then walked home.

Today is my ‘day off’ and I’ve already started by being bad L It’s international food day at work today and I’ve had so far – Fairy bread (Australia) – Curry (Eritrea) – Baguette with pate (France) – Pecan tart (Phillipines) – Adobu (Phillipines) – Profiteroles (Italy) – Sweet bun & spring roll (Phillipines) – Egg & cheese pastry (Macedonia) and more! Wow! I’ll have to do extra exercise tomorrow!

So time for my results

Original – 150 / Last month – 133.3 / Now – 128.8 = a loss of 21.2 kilos!

Waist

Old me

New me

I’m very excited now because this month will be the month where I hit my lowest ever (since I was 18 anyway) weight – 126 kilos!

So my goal for this month is to hit – 123.8 kilos – that’s a 5 kilo loss.

And that’s not far from 120 kilos. And 120 kilos is a very important milestone for me. It is the first milestone for me to reward myself. And the reward I hear you ask? A scooter!! I have already decided on the one that I want – it’s an Aprilia Sportcity 200 – a very good scooter from all accounts. And I am booked in to get my bike license on 23 & 24 June – should be perfect timing! Here’s a pic of the bike.

So that’s all very exciting!

Have a great weekend all,

Pete

And the weight I have lost to date is equivalent to a
