2 July – Week 6 – Measurements

Long awaited measurement day has arrived. Was very keen to find out how many centimetres I have lost to date. Hoping to have lost at least 20 cms. My total centermetre loss was 44.5cms. Wow! Total weightloss 8.4 kg in 6 weeks. An improvement from the previous challenge, a little disappoint with my body fat percentage lost but I am happy with the weight loss so far because my skin is starting to wrinkle a lot now so am not keen to loose too much too quickly anymore. I think I am still on track. Have been invited by Leroy to train an extra session per week with the Get Fit class.
So how has the challenge changed my life so far? I managed to touch my toes yesterday during the stretches at the end of the spinning class. Haven’t been able to do that in years. If I drop something on the floor I can bend down and pick it up with ease now. Not only does my bath towel wrap around me comfortably, there is plenty of room to spare. I had my first bath in years and did not get stuck, there is at least 10 centimetres space. I have improved racewalking speed and have been invited to train with the KwaZulu-Natal Athletic club on Saturday morning.
