Week 4

Today is the start of week 4!  That means that this week, I have my:

• Fitness Test
• Mini Milesone
• Measurements
• Weigh in

I honestly have mixed emotions about it all.  On one hand, I am quite excited about seeing my progress, seeing how my fitness has changed, how my body has changed and also to see how I go about doing my mini milestone this weekend. On the other hand, I am petrified that I won't see any results, that I haven't worked hard enough and I won't have improved on anything. I really do want to see results, as you can tell from my melt down last week (last post - thank you to everyone who checked up on me :) Much appreciated!).  I really hope that I have done enough to improve on my time for the 1km run!

As it was a long weekend, and full of activities, overall, I am quite happy with my food choices.  I do have to admit that there was a lot of takeaway involved, but I tried to make the best choices possible.  For example, I tried Wok Me, and managed to make a great choice with the Kuai Tiau.  Now, I am only wishing they had this shop in town. There is a similar place (which we had yesterday) but I think they use more oil, although overall quite healthy.  It has made me want to try cooking my own, although I have never used a wok before, or made anything like this, so looks like I will be recipe surfing.  On Sunday night, we also had pizza, but I did my research before hand and found out which was the pizza with the least calories and worked out how many slices I could have without going over my calorie budget.  I think that we have been eating out so much, simply because of the fridge situation.  I am really struggling with not having the fridge in the kitchen and not being able to plan ahead properly.  However, I am really hoping this will be sorted in the next couple of days.

On Saturday, I had my first SSS (Super Saturday Session) where I am supposed to burn 1000 calories.  I had planned that before I went to stitch and bitch that I would get up earlier (as mentioned in a previous post) and do an extra bit of cardio and then jump into my Centergy class that I should come close to burning the 1000 calories.  However, my calculations were a little off, and I only burned 731.  I am trying to not look at this as another failure, but rather as a "now I know I need to burn more before my class" and "it's still the most you have burned in a single session to date".  I did burn 350 calories before the class started, and then 381 in the class (which, believe it or not is less than I burned in the Centergy class the week before!).


I am also really excited I love my coffee... that love has been increased in the new love of my life, the Saeco Exprelia!!!!

We picked it up on Sunday, and I am just so in love with it!!  This is my ultimate coffee machine!  At one touch of a button, it does everything! It froths the milk, adds the coffee and cleans itself!  The only thing I need to do is add the sugar!  It can even do hot chocolate and use pre-ground coffee and I can even adjust it so that it can make my coffee in my travel mug!!

WINNING!!

You can see more about it here.

Also, I used to measure out the milk before I frothed it on my old coffee machine, and this one actually uses a slightly bit less, so I am doing even better calorie wise!!!
