Wow, 4 weeks have flown by and so much has changed already. It’s going to be really exciting seeing the results of another 10 weeks of the Walkabout Wellness Weightloss Challenge, let alone what happens beyond that!
In the short term though, things got a little tougher today, with exercises being ramped up from 10 to 15 reps each set. The efforts at the WW gym yesterday also took their toll, especially on the push-up front!
This week’s goal = hit 2km in the 5 minute warm-up bike ride
This week’s give away = changed the morning coffee from Long Mac to Skinny Long Mac
This week’ take on = Ab crunches to be added into the activity on my non-gym day

Physical, Mood etc.:

Night – Feeling very positive, and tired 🙂
Notes:
Wasn’t in a state to do full (toe) pushups at all today; mentally or physically. The efforts of yesterday had taken a toll on the shoulders etc. when I tried to push through that, the mind was weak.
Better luck next time 🙂
