No turning back now

Still tracking to plan and actually starting to feel confident about it. I have committed to the 100 day challenge and I want to get those results. My goals are still to lose at least 6kg & at the same time get my fitness back for the new season of competition which starts in 5 weeks time.

My training now consists of walk/run at least 4-5 mornings for just over an hour, weight training Monday afternoons & sport specific training 1 day for an hour. I will bump up the weight training to 2 - 3 days after next week. my weight is sitting around 65.8kg at the moment and that is my starting point. It has fluctuated up to 66-67 over the last couple of weeks and I guess that was the turning point for me.

This is my starting photo- so its all out there now!!

I will post further updates of photos as I progress and the vital stats when I do them. Now that iss scary.

At last some progress

Had the best week of training. Last Sunday morning did a track session for hour & half & after a short break did my sports specific training. We did Javelin & long jump & absolutely nailed both of them. I was having some technical difficulties with the run up in both events so worked on that & came away on a high.

I have started getting up at 5.30am each day to fit my cardio in. So far so good- walk with some jogging thrown in for about 1hr 15mins. I needed to get back into that routine before I started working on my diet. It isn't all that bad but I just have to work really hard all the time to make any progress. Now that I'm actually seeing progress in my sport it is enough motivation to work on those extra kilos. I keep thinking how much easier it would be to run the 800 without carrying that extra 6kgs twice around the track.

The picture is Burleigh Beach, where I do most of my morning training when not on the track. The hill is our once a week hill sprint. We usually do 10 to finish off.
