How I’m Measuring Up
I just did a search of this site and found my measurements from May 2008:
Weight: 58kg/127 pounds
Bust: 91cm/36 inches
Waist: 76cm/30 inches
Hips: 96cm/38 inches
And here are my measurements now (ouch!):

Bust: 88cm/34.5 inches
Waist: 81cm/32 inches
Hips: 96cm/38 inches
Right bicep: 27cm/10.5 inches
Right thigh: 49.5cm/19.5 inches
Ok, I’ve put on weight! But that’s ok – I’m doing something about [...]
Should I Still Exercise if I Feel Sick?
Ugh! I feel terrible today! I think something I ate yesterday disagreed with me, and I was in the bathroom for part of the night. Not nice.
Today I felt tired and flat.
But I wondered if I should exercise regardless? I wanted to do some Fit Yummy Mummy strength training today, but I really didn’t feel [...]
Triathlon training continues and I am losing fat!
I have 56 days left to go before my first ever triathlon, and I’ve lost around half a kilogram (one pound?) of weight.
Ok, it’s not much but then again I’ve not changed my eating habits at all, and I have noticed that my arms are looking leaner and my waist too.
There’s still a very unattractive [...]
Day 10 – Woo!
I cycled this morning and wow! I was about half way through and somehow found a second wind, so powered through the last part.
I think I’m actually getting fitter!
Now, if only that roll around my middle would disappear…..!
Day 9 of my triathlon training
I can’t believe I’m up to day 9 already! I decided last Tuesday to compete in the triathlon and here I am a week later, and STILL feeling motivated (surprise surprise!).
I decided to do my 2.5km run in intervals, rather than trying what I know I’m not yet capable of – running the entire way! [...]
Exercise can HURT!
OMG I cannot believe how much my calf muscles hurt! This was all caused by the Wii Active that Jason bought me for Christmas. I told him that the Wii Fit Plus was too easy and to get me something harder. Weeellll… it’s harder all right!
I thought I was being “smart” when I chose the [...]
My triathlon training continues!
Day 6 it is!
On Saturday morning my husband and I went for a ride. We rode for a little over 13km and we averaged 24km per hour. We did this in around 34 minutes.
It’s not an ideal time, but hey – we’re only in week 1!
On Sunday I swam 300m and did terribly! I had [...]
Day 3 of training for my triathlon
I did another 20 minutes on the bike this morning and my butt isn’t as sore as it has been, so things are looking up!
I won’t be doing any running at lunch time today because I have a date with the girls!
After my workout this morning I was going to weigh myself but I forgot [...]
Is Your Weight Loss Goal Compelling Enough?
I started this website a long time ago with the intention of documenting my progress as I worked towards achieving the body I wanted, but time and time again I’ve “given up”.
As a qualified life coach, I understand the power of a compelling goal, but sometimes it’s harder to see things for what they are [...]
