Well the Thai kickboxing's not going to happen - $30 per week with a minimum 1 year commitment! I have however enrolled in a bootcamp which is $9 per session for 10 sessions and I'm starting that next week which will be cool.

Was meant to be going for a bit hill walk tonight but it's absolutely pouring with rain so that's probably not gonna happen now. This is one time when it would be good to belong to a gym still.

Hi Little Kiwi ....

Good luck with the Bootcamp ..... I'm a wee bit chicken to try something like that at the moment ... $30 for Kickboxing is ridiculous (how many sessions a week was that?) ....

I'm going to Zumba tonight ... I go with my daughter who loves it ....

What hill do you walk up in Christchurch?.... isn't it kind of flat there!?

Take care
Helen

The $30 per week included use of their gym and as many classes as you wanted. Still too steep for me.

The track I was meant to walk tonight is Rapaki. I did it last week for the first time and it took about 55 minutes to go one way, nearly all uphill. It was pouring with rain so rather than not work out at all I went and joined up at a wee local gym. I just joined for a month and am not committed to carrying on if I find that I don't use it much.

Had a delicious salad for dinner and made enough for 2 meals so that's tomorrow's lunch sorted as well.

Hope you have fun at Zumba Helen!

Yes indeed, where is everyone???

Went for a jog with a friend today and managed about 38 minutes. That's the longest so far!

38 mins .... that is cool. Are you training for an event?? .... I use to do a bit of jogging (20 kilos ago!!!) .... I would like to get back into it .... but I feel I need to get the weight off first ..... am trying to do weights and interval cardio training ....

The Aussies may be missing but the Kiwis should try and keep things going without them ....

I'm around, just don't have time to scratch myself this semester though.. crazy busy at school. Am being a beyotch from **** at work, so snappy from stress! Eek. Did make it to the gym last night in case that helped and hoping for a better mood today. Lost a little bit of weight so that helps.

It is quite annoying that I am almost at my 6 month postop date and the loss is so slow now, but I have to remember there's no race to get "there" to some magic number - so long as I am eating healthy and exercising, I am already there. My BMI is 30 today... any more loss and I am officially "overweight" and not "obese"!

I thought of you Julia when I was on the treadmill last night.. felt like a jog so started trotting and by the time I was like "OK.. done!" I looked down and it was a whole 2.5 mins. Haha. I can't imagine ever being a non-spazzy runner.

Gen that's awesome, well done on the BMI reading!! And 2.5 minutes running is nothing to be sniffed at - I started being able to jog for 1 minute at a time and look at me now!

Helen I'm training for a half marathon. Bloody scary thought but I know I can do it!

Woe is me, I've come down with a cold and am feeling like crap today That makes it two colds that I've had in the last month. Not happy Jan!

Little Kiwi ... good for you about the half marathon .... when is the big day? ....

Augigi ... (Hi I'm Helen) ... good for you ..... I'm hoping to get in the overweight category rather than the obese category too ... I've got to get to 88 kg ....

On a positve note .... I'm 90.7 kg this morning .... which I think puts me just below 200 pounds .... (or onederland as some put it on here) ....

Awesome Helen (I'm Gen)! Yeah I think I'm about 185lbs now, and I started at 259 in April, so I can't complain too much. People at work at really asking me all the time now - and some of them are very persistent!

They say "oh gee, you've lost a lot of weight" and I say "Oh yeah" and they say "How much?" and I say "Oh, that's a secret" and smile.. and they just keep asking. Honestly people, which part of "none of your business" don't you understand!?

Just makes me so uncomfortable when I'm with some of the guys I work with (who haven't mentioned a thing - they are men's men!) and someone starts interrogating me about my weight.

Hi Gen ... Those are impressive numbers ....

I'd love to get to the point of people being able to notice ....

... The guys I work with do discuss other women's weight a lot though ... I alwasys feel very uncomfortable around any topic like this and never engage ...
