Great. Thanks Ann. You've cost me $30!

ann:
oh!?! Do I get an explanation or you are now in flight mode?

andrew:
Lost too much weight grrrr :) Bought my first pair of jeans in i reckon 15 years, (not due to only weight, just never worn them before)
Those George Michael swings you give me must be doing it LOL

Gotta go shopping now apparently ;)

only a kilometre

one kilometre to FOUR HUNDRED ....

when andrew arrived at the gym to workout today, and the realisation he had only one kilometre to reach 400 for the year, i sent him out to run that 1km ...
5 weeks ago, he did 1km in 7:08, it was the first time he had pushed himself to actually set a time to a distance, and, part running, part walking, an absolutely fantastic effort ...
today. 6:42 - 26 seconds faster! THAT. is awesome. and took his total to 400kms - precisely!

a gym session, a juice again (gonna power up on all those nutrients your body is soaking in! arent they much better tasting now than the pastries of the past!) and, 3kms later in the day, brings the years 3kaday total to 403kms.

consistency. it's a SUPER word. and it IS the word that delivers results.
anyone can create their own similar journey with great results, utilising, consistency .... don't w(eigh)ait for tomorrow to begin, today is here!

under 120! :)

with flooding, ses distresses, school holidays, easter, long weekends, bmx fatherly duties, road trips to cairns, the past couple of weeks have passed very quickly .... on andrews part.

with flooding, ses distresses, easter, long weekends, motherly duties, plane trips to sydney, the past couple of weeks have passed very quickly .... on ...  my part.

therefore, blogging has been neglected while life took over momentarily :D

BUT, despite any excuse most people could make - tired, too much to do, busy so lack of time etc ... there was none. there was adjustments and juggling of other activities, tv watching took a back seat :P and not a lot of time for simply sitting around idly!.... but the 3kaday, remained - clockwork!
the results. have matched. andrew lost another 1.5kgs this week!

it proves if you place yourself as a priority, if you place, your health, as important, no matter how hectic your schedule, you CAN achieve the biggest benefit possible for yourself - fitting exercise in!

total weight loss - now 23kilograms!!!! and looking fantastic :)

incidental benefits

20.2kilos - GONE!!! :D
congratulations andrew. no matter how hard you hunt, may you NEVER find those kgs  again!!

the graph attached?
the red line, depicts a weight loss journey of just under one kilo a week starting from day one of the 3kaday challenge - 1st january 2011 and with a goal date of 1st july ... giving a slow, SAFE, achievable body morph!

339kms plus... more

simply an overdue update :)
26 march, day 85 - 3 kms - total 300kms
27 march, day 86 - 3 kms - total 303kms
28 march, day 87 - 3 kms - total 306kms xtras balance prossy

energised!

Air in tyres, windscreen cleaned!

Had a great weekend.

Was an ideal opportunity to hit the gym for three different classes, some squash, a wet and windy walk & a bike ride to Airlie both days.
Coupled with some great socialising, twas one of those weekends that are enjoyable on many fronts. Feel energised & refreshed now :)

new ways to move

always willing to give new toys a go - this is a prossy gym contraption ... and with all the rain and flooding we have been having, andrew imagines it would be good to strengthen up his freestyle movement in preparation, so he can swim down the road instead of walk!

despite the rain, despite his desperate lack of humour :P the walking, is still consistent!

318kms to date! w00t!
