Week 5 already!!

I can't quite believe that it is week 5 of the New You competition already - and what a brilliant week it has been so far. I returned home from visiting friends in Australia to a very happy New Zealand - congratulations to the All Blacks. I also managed to lose weight while on holiday, which I was VERY pleased about. I had been good with my diet, and had kept up my daily exercise routine for most of the holiday. I also managed some long-ish walks, and went for a 1km swim on the last day of my holiday.

After arriving home at 1am on Tuesday, I was back at work and then at the gym for a session with Melissa. She said she would be kind to me and not do any weights, so we stuck to cardio on the treadmill. I managed to cover 3.5km in 30 mins with a mixture of running (upto 10km/h) and walking. I am NOT a runner, and this was an awesome achievement for me. I was back again this morning for another session with Alice, followed by a lovely relaxing facial at Urban Sanctuary Spa.

I happened to be leaving the Spa at 12pm, just before the All Blacks were due to parade up Lambton Quay. The road was clsed and I couldn't catch a bus home, so I just had to stay for the parade. :-)What an incredible atmosphere there was, and I got right to the front and even managed to touch the Webb Ellis Cup :-)

I'm looking forward to the second half of the New Me, especially more appointments at the spa, trying on clothes at Ezibuy, and getting my hair done at Kristina Raffaele's salon.

KIM and LISA - I have just spotted a link to Contact TriWoman series in March 2012 - how about the three of us "New You" women do this together? - or with Tarsh if she'd like to join us....
