Week 3 update
I am really proud of myself with achieving my goal of exercising everyday. I had aimed to achieve a 75% rate of increasing my exercise. And I have actually achieved about 80%, so I am happy with my achievements thus far. I have been on the road for 10 of the past 14 days so that has been a great challenge!
I found out that during my double shift waitressing at the Lamont’s Cottesloe restaurant I walked 15,347 steps!!!! The most challenging and hard aspect of the 10-week challenge is not rewarding myself after my exercise with wine and food! My friends and family have been really supportive in making it fun and with their wicked sense of humour and I have stayed on track. I am feeling great in terms of my well being – exercise does that, but sadly no weight loss to date. Week 9 update The Challenge has been as expected and challenged me, it has meant I couldn’t give up when I got really busy. I know they say by now it should be a habit….but I’m not 100% convinced. however I am feeling more energetic and losing some weight, which is a plus. And I feel a lot more informed about the cause. I am very pleased with what I have achieved and believe I did my best. |
