Easter, guilt and kilos.

Hands up if you feel awful and disgusting and regret almost everything you ate this Easter. Good, so not just me. I feel like it was an endless cycle of drinking and eating with not much physical activity aside from walking to the esky for another beer. I think I went way too YOLO this year and…

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

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…

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…
