12 weeks over

What a fantastic day it has been. Have just had my final photos taken and what a shock that was. It was so much fun and I am soo happy with the photos. Can't wait to get them. I will definitely be sending them in to WH &F.
After being out all morning I was absolutely starving when I got home. I had a salad & cheese sandwich and how good was that.

I will report full details in later. Ash has given me the day off training today if I want, but I am feeling pretty darn good at the moment so will decide later.

Last 2 days

How good do I feel at the moment. My 12 weeks is 2 days out. Photos on Monday to finish off. It has been full on the last couple of weeks but really worth the effort. I can,t believe my weight has actually dropped down to 57, but it is the body fat weight that has always been my goal and I will have that measured on Monday. I really do feel I have acccomplished something this time.I can't wait to start my next training programme. This will now focus on my power and strength. I have now realised how little strength I had before.
Overall I feel great and I believe I can now continue on without having to continually worry about my back. I now it is still a weak area, but nothing like it was. It can only get better as i continue to improve my strength in all areas.

I'll be back On Monday with the final figures.

Just finished another cardio session. It is so full on at the moment and as much as I love cardio I really have to stay focussed as I only have the treadmill. Although I must admit the night sessions (40 mins) really go by quite quickly.
Sometimes I wonder about people. I know I'm 50 but so what, this is something I want to do and I enjoy doing. What I'm on about is some of the negative comments I get ..your looking too scrawny, your losing too much weight! Hey if I was grossly overweight and unhealthy I'm sure they would find something negative to say about that.
I do get some positive comments also and that makes up for it.
Lucky I don't take offence easily.

Final 3 weeks

This week has just flown by, maybe because I am feeling great, training well and eating well.
My final 3 weeks of my challenge. I'm happy with where I am at the moment but I just keep thinking that I have an almost impossible task ahead to finish where I really want to be. I keep reminding myself that if I keep thinking this way then thats where I will head. So I really have to focus on believing in myself and the fact that I am putting the effort in for a reason.
I also love the fact that I have so much energy. Looking forward to track session tomorrow. That is where I am really noticing the results. Looking for some more PBS.
Gotta go, almost time for the athletics to start. I am not a TV person but I have certainly spent a few hours in front of it this last week.
