Week Four - Seeing double!



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, that insane, maniacal hooting and hollering over Bathurst was MEEEEEE this morning!!!  Guess who has finally HIT HER DOUBLE DIGITS!!!!

(*insert repeated jumping up and down here....  and then repeat it again!!!!*)

Can't believe I've finally cracked it - I'm absolutely gobsmacked, SO totally relieved and insanely happy right now!  One crazy number on the scales has sent me WILD!  hahaha!


Well, not just any double digits neither - but I'm down to 99.2 to be exact!!! (I nearly missed the 99s entirely, bahaha!)  Thank you double and triple-whammy workouts this week, and this blissful 1.6 loss!!!

What a freaking awesome way to conclude Week Four of the Challenge - it's been one VERY up and down "emotional roller-coaster" week this one!   After having my 'pre-100 meltdown' last weekend, and then my negatively-geared commentary bringing on some serious self-doubt and waterworks - not to mention all the intense workout sessions over the course of the week (I'm a lil tired bunny right now!) - I am SO VERY PLEASED to report in today with such a milestone moment high!!!

This week's "Baring Skin" swimming challenge was FABULOUS!  Tuesday I hit the pool for my first session - and managed 40mins / 30 laps... Was so happy with being back in the pool, I hit it again on Thursday AFTER my PT session and cross trainer stint, for 30mins / 30 laps...    And not to be outdone, Saturday morning's Aqua Aerobics session (which was so much FUN!) was followed by another 40mins / 40 laps!!!    My inner-mermaid was on fire!   ... and I'll definitely be adding more swims to the mix in the weeks ahead!

Now, to say I've been working hard is a slight understatement - I'm working at a totally new fitness level!  All my weights are up in Pump; I'm going harder, faster, stronger in RPM; I'm adding sessions to my 'slow days' (can't be sitting still now can I?!) and even my PT has upped the duration of all my favourite killer moves - my side planks are now up to 3sets / 15seconds each side, and my prone hold is now 3sets / 30 seconds - and I'm getting through them!!     I'm totally AMAZED at my body right now - I can definitely feel the difference in my fitness, my muscles and my endurance - after just a few weeks of new gym activities, I've risen to an entirely new level, and I'm totally IN LOVE with what it's doing for both my mind AND body!!    Dare I say it... 'gym junkie'??!!!  hahaha!

OHHH and a huge shout out to the Team Amy crew who have now lost an amazing 80+ kilos together in four weeks!   You guys are freaking ROCK STARS and I'm so incredibly proud of your efforts, and stepping up to the Challenge with me!   Keep it going - a few more weeks to go, MUSH MUSH MUSH!!!!  ;)

SO excited guys - I went to go and buy myself my 'double figure' reward - a new pair of seriously sexy runners, but having tried them on (and didn't like how they felt) - I'm back to the drawing board...  SOOOOO.... reward suggestions are welcome! 

Now, back to my wooohooooo-ing and bouncing!!!   :D   

Bring on the new week!!

  3. Wow great work, I'm so very happy for you, I have been reading your blogs since I started BLC and you have inspired me each and everyday. This is an amazing milestone moment and I know I don't know you personally but I see your struggles like my own, which I'm sure many of us do. And for what it's worth I'm so proud of you!

  11. Well there ya go! I've been waiting for you to get down to the naughty nineties and you've done it. I bet this time last year you had no idea what was in store for you and I can't think of anyone I'd rather see it all happening for. Well done Wonder Woman!

  12. That is a brilliant achievement. You're a winner on so many levels, Amy - willpower, determination, strength, life lessons, responsibility, beauty, maturity. I could go on but '99.2' says it all, doesn't it?
