Weigh in day and feeling the effects of the big swim!

It's weigh in day today and after my eventful week I am not holding much hope. My own scales are indicating 400g, and to be honest I would be really happy with that - it would take me to 14kgs total in 15 weeks. Oh well, fingers crossed and to be honest - a loss of any sort would be perfect - I am determined not to gain!!

The last time I posted I talked about my first attept at water aerobics. Although it was a great workout, the next day I wasnt sore at all - and was very pleased with this!! That was Tuesday night. Wednesday night I decided to go for a swim. I felt like I was playing with the big kids in the big pool!! Although I used to be a great swimmer, I wasnt sure how I would go swimming in a 50m pool and was worried I would hold everyone up - no need, I was fine and in fact I even overtook a few people. I swum for 30minutes and in that time I did 20 laps, thats 1km!! I was really pleased and quite proud of myself!!

Thursday night and I went along to Aqua Aerobics again. I met Nicole at the class on Tuesday and she said she'd be back on Thursday - well she didnt show up! It didnt matter, I decided to give it my absolute all during the 45min work out and enjoy myself all the same. I have to say, although I love the concept of deep water aqua aerobics, the instructor and music is less than motivating. I will keep going but I will be pushing myself to give it my best! I am feeling a bit sore today in the shoulders and I am not sure if it was from the class last night, the fact I swam for 15mins before, or even the swimming the night before that! Oh well, I guess its a good thing to be sore, really means you worked your muscles.

I am back now from my weigh in and I am pleased to report a 300g loss. It wasnt the 400g I was hoping for, but I reminded myself that it was now 2kgs over 2 weeks and thats a great effort!! It did mean I didnt make my GWEN challenge - I fell short by 700g but overall, I had a stellar 4 weeks, including my injury time. It also means I have now finished at 13.9kgs at the end of my 15 weeks - just short 100g off an even 14kgs! Oh well, I will be rounding up thats for sure!

Anyway - thats all from me. I might jump back on this afternoon to make a plan of attack for next week. Jamie is home Wednesday - woo hoo! Fingers crossed he doesnt recognise me :)
