Week 7: Weigh in

This week a strange thing happened,there was some chocolate flavored custard in the fridge which we had had been staring at for weeks but had contained ourselves. Mel decided one night that she was going to have ONE mouthful and put it back, Han jumped on board to do the same. Sooooo turns out… it…

Week 6: Weigh in

We went to a ball this week. We sat on the top floor of Crown Casino and drank expensive champagne. And we weren’t sucking in our tummies the whole time. We weren’t close to tears before we left because of some crazy self criticism like ‘rib fat’ (Mel maintains “it’s a thing!”) We actually felt…

Weigh 5: Weigh in

This week the lovely Mitch – a PT at Genesis Preston – offered us a session. Neither of us had done personal training before so we were a bit nervous, but we went along and actually had a really good time and got a great work out! Mitch had us doing all kinds of work…

Week 4: Weigh in

This week we were on the treadmills at gym when Katherine (a staff member) came up and asked if we’d done “Grit” yet. If you haven’t heard of it, count yourself lucky… just writing about it is giving us a stitch! Grit is a new LesMills program that is 30 minutes of extremely high intensity…

You would think this would be a good thing, but the unfortunate fact remains – that we are girls… so we are still managing to be critical on ourselves. Repeated statements going round this week are: Hannah: “I’m losing my bum… I…

Week 2: Weigh in

This week we were just as nervous as last week. We both ate quite well and exercised but it’s always worrying stepping on those scales! We also completed our first challenge – the stepper (if you didn’t catch that post see “weekly challenges” in categories!) We faced our usual challenges this week: not drinking with…

Week 1: Weigh in

So, week 1 down. We went to the gym a few times this week, did back yard workouts, and other days went for walks. In addition, we have been using the medicine ball to work out while we watch The Biggest Loser. For our food intake, we have been following the recipes and advice from…

The official first weigh in

Well neither of us had weighed ourslves in months and months so we were very scared. And not without reason… while we won’t be sharing the stupidly large numbers that the wii fit put up on our screen, we can tell you our motivation has quadripled!!!   Lucky we went to pump after and had chicken salad…
