Late this morning I did:
HASfit - 30 Min Dumbbell Chest Workout at Home - Chest and Triceps Exercises
Quite a good workout, but it felt very slow-paced so I don't think I'll be repeating it any time soon. So that means I've managed 2 strength workouts again this week and again I am at the crossroads of trying to change that to 3. Time will tell.
I'm taking a break from tracking this weekend as it's the end of the month and my birthday tomorrow. Traditional South African Peppermint Crisp Tart (using Peppermint Aero rather then the Crisp, and substituting sugar-free soya yoghurt for the cream) will be made and enjoyed. I also have a hankering for red velvet cheesecake brownies so I will go for a nice walk to buy them on Saturday while hubby is away at work.
This week I haven't had to walk to work and that also means hubby was home for a few more days than usual so we walked to some local shopping centres for groceries and whatnot. It does feel like a workout when you lug a backpack full up three flights of stairs. I've also been doing quite a bit more hoovering and mopping at work than usual and I think those move-minutes might be adding up too. Even though the Google Fit app on my phone is completely rubbish at tracking it...
I'm taking the day off work tomorrow and we'll go for a nice walk along an abandoned canal and through a little village. Hoping the weather's as good as today - we had some beautiful clear skies and I'm glad we got out again for a walk to the library.
Not sure if I'm headed for a good weigh-in tomorrow morning, but I will try to track it even if it's not what I wanted. I am 2.2kg away from where I'd like to be so I need to work on reducing daily average calories in order to reach that so perhaps from Monday I'll make more of a concerted effort.
Hope you all have a Fabulous Friday tomorrow! And a lovely weekend too! xxx

This morning I did:
Juice & Toya - 25 Minute DUMBBELL Arms & Abs EMOM Workout [Circuit Strength Training]
Nice little workout, but not going onto the favourite list. Glad I got up and did one after failing to do one yesterday, though. Let's see if I can fit another two in this week.
Happy Tuesday all! xxx

On Friday morning I did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - Upper Body & Abs with Dumbbells | 30 min
Followed by her:
POST-WORKOUT STRETCH for Injury Prevention & Flexibility
5kg weights felt good and I could feel I'd worked the abs all weekend. I feel like my muffin top is receding, but would need to find my misplaced measuring tape (or buy a new one) to establish that. Jeans aren't any looser yet so I know there is progress to be made - and now my holiday is creeping up - 7 weeks to go...
There are some size 10 items in my closet, which I'd love to fit into, but that might be a tad ambitious.
I'm still only managing two strength workouts a week and daily average calories are still hovering about 1850 - hence weight loss is slow. I did see 67.7kg on Wednesday morning, but I've made some bad choices (did someone say hollandaise?) since then so I have to 'own' it. Hoping I can claw it back this week.
I've decided that if I can get below 66kg by mid March that would be acceptable.
My step count has also dropped this week because I had the car to get to work most days and next week will be the same so I need to fit a walk in to my day at some point. I have managed to set my body clock to wake up at 7am though - so that is a baby step in the right direction.
Hope you all have a great week coming up! The end of Jan already - where does the time go? xxx

Losing 0.1 kg a Week
22 January 2024
This morning I did:
Heather Robertson - Full Body STRENGTH Workout with Dumbbells (Low Impact/No Jumping)
And on Friday morning I did her:
30 MIN Arm Strength Workout // HR12WEEK EXPRESS : Day 17
Still not managing to get daily average calories below 1900 calories, but I think it's still good to keep tracking. The scale said 68.1kg on Friday morning, but the day got away from me so I didn't record it.
So, that was two strength workouts for last week. I will try for 3 this week. Since it's only 20 mins of actual work I'm hoping doms won't be so bad, but also because of that I will possibly try to increase to 4 workouts a week. We'll see how it goes.
Thank you for everyone's support on my last post - I haven't been on the app as much as I'd like to, but will keep trying.
Have a lovely week everyone! xxx

Lovely workout this morning with Heather Robertson - 30 MIN Full Body Strength / HR12WEEK EXPRESS : Day 58 with my 5kg and 2.5kg (for chest flyes) dumbbells
I like that it had a warm up and cool down within the workout so I didn't have to do a separate video after - so I've saved a few more of hers to do soon. Hoping to get back up to 6.5kg soon and increase steadily. Thanks to Wifey for the inspiration!!!
This morning I had Cliff Richard's song Summer Holiday in my head, which I'll keep as my motivation. These weeks before my family holiday at Easter will pass anyway so I may as well try to make them count - even if it's just the minimum effort I can manage. It's better than giving up and doing nothing.
This week I've had the all too familiar excuse that work got busy and I nearly just threw in the towel, but I just need to adjust my schedule a bit. So, on Monday and Tuesday evening I went to sleep at 11:15pm and 11:30pm and then I could wake up feeling ready for the day at 6:15am and then 6:30am this morning. I should be able to do a workout every second day at 7am.
Last week I only managed 2 and then on Friday I tried a Sydney Cummings one in the afternoon and ended up not having enough time to finish it and skipped a set so didn't feel like that was a complete workout and didn't diarise it.
On Sunday we did go for a nice walk with some friends so I ended up on over 13k steps. I'm nowhere near 10k a day, but still averaging over 6k average a day is fine for now.
Still trying to stay positive through winter and so far so good.
Hope you all have a Wicked Wednesday! xxx
