Almost there - the end is in sight!! I have 3 more personal trainer sessions left at the gym, and although I feel great, my weight isn't yet down to where I wanted it to be at the end of the competition. I have lost about 3.5kg on the scales at Contours, but I have gained muscle, and lost fat. Melissa did some calculations on Monday by measuring my percentage body fat with a "fat pinching" tool, and I have lost 9kg of fat!! I would love to get my weight down to below 70kg by the end of the competition. I have stuck to my diet almost 100% but the weight loss has really slowed down.
I have had fun going through my wardrobe and finding clothes that now fit me again. I have even worn a skirt twice this week and shown to the world that I do have legs!!
On Sunday I had my final weigh in for the "Johnsonville Biggest Loser" slimming competition that I have been doing with 8 other people. I had offered to drop out of that competition when I won the "New You", but the others were very encouraging and asked me to stay in the competition, saying they all had things that would "help" with weigh loss, whether it was walking the dog, cycling to work etc.
We all put $50 in a kitty, and the winner would be the one who lost the highest percentage of their body weight after 10 weeks. I have lost 8.3kg, which worked out at 10.3% of my starting weight. I am now $450 richer - well I was until I went shopping :-) I have bought myself 2 pairs of shoes with heals - another first for me.
Today I had my make-up session at Urban Sanctuary - I was bright red in the face from my gym session, but with the help of some concealer, the redness disappeared. I walked out feeling beautiful - a rare occurrence for me. I hardly ever wear make up, and to have it done "professionally" was a fantastic experience.
I can't wait for my hair appointment in 2 weeks - I really need a hair cut, and my fringe is in my eyes!!
Looking forward to the new wardrobe of clothes too - I am trying to lose as much weight as possible before the final shopping session at Ezibuy.
