Changing up the workouts

Australia Day long weekend was last week and since that break I have not been motivated to work out.
I went to gym yesterday morning for cardio and then Zumba in the evening.
This morning I was exhausted and didn't get up until 8:30am!
When I don't start off my day with a workout, I get extra lazy.
I had to push myself this evening to get active.
I've had the Biggest Loser challenge game for wii for a few years now. I popped it on and did a 45 minute full body workout am exhausted!!! It's like having a personal trainer in my TV. It's an excellent program!

What's your favourite at home workout?

Mission Eurotrip!

For those of you who don't follow my new blog, I am heading back to malta and Europe at the end of July!
I am so excited, and I am so motivated to lose a huge chunk of weight before then.
I leave on July 24th. I booked last week so I've already created a timeline of my goals by then!
I started January 21st, exactly a week ago. I've set my goal to lose between 15-20kg by then (26 weeks)
Last week I started hitting the gym hard. I've been going for 45-60 minutes in the morning before work, then back to the gym after work for more cardio and weights or a class.
On Saturdays I have been going to a bootcamp with my old personal trainer.
I've been wearing my bodymediafit band 23 hours a day! And I find that wearing my polar heart rate monitor is a huge incentive for me to keep working and competing against myself.
My diet hasn't been fantastic, however I have been keeping track of all my calories and making sure that if I don't eat the best, I workout more.
My bodymediafit band is a godsend because it gives me all the data I need to make sure that I always burn more than I eat.

Start weight 21/1/13: 87kg
Week 1 28/1/13: 85.2kg
Loss = 1.8kg

New year, new blog, new me

Happy new year everybody!
Can't believe 2012 is over and done with.
In 2012 I got my first full time job, bought my first brand new car and spent an amazing month in America.
I also joined the gym and got my groove back...that was until I went to America, ate a whole lot of crap and enjoyed myself over the holidays.
2013 is a brand new year and in 2014 I will be turning 25. Therefore, it is a huge year for me.
My goals:
- to lose the rest of this weight. Goal weight by 25 = 65kg
- get back to the gym and find a new personal trainer
- move out of home!
- find love! ( haha cheesy I know)

So new year means new blog. I've been blogging here for a few years now but it's getting old.
Come follow my journey through 2013 before I turn 25!
