Friday's session was great. I was the only one there at 9am, so Bianca and I started with some ball skills. It took me back to being about 13 and playing netball. I had to throw the ball into the bucket from various different points and if I missed, run and get the ball and run back to the poin and try again.
We then did squats, bouncing and throwing, lunges up to the line, whilst holding a ball, then run to the next line and back again and lunges back to the start. I felt very unco-ordinated. It seemed an amazingly simple thing to do, but I was concentrating so hard on doing the right steps and holding the ball out to the either side that I felt very wobbly.
At about 9.30 a nice lady with a baby in a buggy came along to join in. Bianca was great as she incorporated the buggy and baby with some of the exercises! As I was doing another set of lunges up the field, the baby was being power walked around and Bianca even suggested holding her whilst doing squats, but she was happy to sit in her buggy chewing something and watch!
So now is the start of week 2. I have enjoyed eating healthily but have struggled to drink 2-litres of water a day as I just forget. My mini goal this week will be to concentrate on increasing my intake of water.
I am having my 'Before' pictures taken today down at Starshots at Maroochydore. This will be the photo in Profile Magazine once I have completed my 12 weeks. I am really nervous about the photos and what I will wear to reveal my lumps and bumps. Don't think I am confident enough to stand in my bra and knickers as some of the previous winners have done.
Wish me luck!

Good luck with the photo-shoot Ali! Sounds scary!! I guess they always want to make the 'before' picture look in dire need of their programme - but just concentrate on your goal and I know you'll 'wow' them at the final one. You just have to look again at your 40th pictures to know the 'slim' you is in there waiting to blossom again! As you always give 100% to something you put your mind to, I KNOW you you will get to where you want to be! No pain, no gain, as they say!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still plodding along with Slimming World and have lost 1st 10lbs since last Christmas and am 10 7 on my scales. Want to get closer to 10st, which is fine for my height. But it's tough AND an eating plan for life!! But I do empathise with you!!
lots of love and good luck, Margaret x
