week 5, Lisa's Melbourne Meltdown


1. Trained at Fitness247 Gym but where was everybody on a Sat morning? 2. Johnsons' sizzling sausages to celebrate their open day 3. That's what I call a torturous workout

1 week to go before I get to ogle some big muscly men in their sexy posing trunks! As for me, thankfully I've dropped weight this week and sitting just on 58kg. Took a while but think my body is finally succumbing to what I want it to do. Some people can lose weight quickly but others, ie me, take a little time but I prefer the gradual process.

I did work hard for it this week. Started off the week with early morning Zumba class at Environment. Felt and looked totally unco-ordinated but as long as I kept moving I was fine. The following mornings were spent either on the bike or walking, some days bike and walked to get Trixie's daily ritual out of the way too.

This week didn't do any weight training as my right felt delt is sore, probably from overtraining and overtrying! ha ha. But this week has been good to focus on cardio.

My goal is 57kg but not sure if I'll get there as a kg is alot for my body. I know that I'm definitely looking different, and feeling different too so won't feel so paranoid if those muscly guys want to give me a hug next week.

Week 4

eek! I can't believe its only 2 weeks to go till the IFBB Melbourne Grand Prix. Since I wasn't pleased with my last weigh in, I have made some changes to my plan, especially in the cardio area. To help me psychologically get into it I've gone back into my Balance Thermo Ripped.

Figure if I'm getting into the mindset that if I want to burn fat then if I know I'm taking something that'll help me, then I'll more likely do it. I take 2 before morning cardio and 2 before lunch. I feel its helping me with energy and curbing my appetite. Felt a little hyped up the first couple of days but I've settled into it now.

I've been doing alot more morning cardio while keeping my night time biking. By the end of the week my joints were aching but I knew something had to give so that my weight would budge. And it did, just. Shaved another 200g off. OK not huge but a loss is a loss but the main thing is my clothes are fitting looser and think my chipmunk cheeks are going down too.

My leg, thigh butt area looks like they are bulging less in my skins so it makes me more wanting to get into them. I know the hard part for me is losing around the mid section but that's always the last place to go for me. I know I'm not going to be super dooper in 6 weeks but at least I'm getting started and getting into routine.

Had a wee treat meal in the weekend at the Chinese Lantern Festival. Didn't go too crazy, had a couple of vietnamese prawn rice rolls, some wontons and a serve of grilled octopus.

Here's to more early cardios!

Week 3

This week I've noticed some little changes on my body. Less bulge here, more tone there, clothes fit a little differently but unfortunately the scales have decided to not reflect that and I'm still 59kg. Then again, its not about the weight but how you look isn't it. I know I can still drop another kg without sacrificing muscle so hopefully I can do that in 3 weeks without my body resisting too much.

To rev things up I think I'll give myself a high cal day over the weekend to shock the system. I've been good on the diet and probably due for a break. I'll probably have to get a little more serious with my cardio too and do a few mornings, that'll definitely shock the system. Its not so much that I really hate morning cardio, its just I'm so darn sore from the previous day's workout. If I wasn't so sore then I might enjoy it more. I know I can hear you all say ‘harden up Lisa!'. So will try just for you.

Have lots of updates to work on so sorry for the short report. Hopefully I will have better results next time.
