This is me and my husband jogging at the beach.................eheheheheheheheehehehehehehehhi everyone - Sorry I haven't written in so long - truth be it I have very little to say.... I have only lost 1.5 kilos in an entire month!!!!Q AARGH this is so annoying. I have been walking to and from work 2 to 3 times weekly - last week I took a walk to Leichhardt which took me an hour and then I walked to Marrickville which took me 30 minutes. Admittedly I did stop at Petersham for the famous Portuguese Pasteis de nata - but I only had 2.... ONLY???
Anyway I am not doing anything differently then I have before and the weight is not budging. I started swimming today. I read somewhere that your body adjusts to any exercise regime between 6 and 8 weeks. It has been about 8 weeks since I started walking and truth be told it is not really tiring me much anymore. So I decided to try to target different muscles. I went swimming and intend to do so for some time - well at least until I stall again........................ however I noticed that I got straight back into it. I am obviously getting fitter because I did 40 laps which previously took me about 8 weeks to work towards. Additionally I not only did 40 laps but I did them in 35 minutes without stopping - something I could not do before. This is all good BUT it was hard to get my heart beat up - In fact the fastest was 157 but on average I was about 145 bpm. I should be working between 130 and 170 - so it's not bad but for weight loss I have to go harder. I think I am going to have to explore different types of exercise. I might go jogging with my husband. I will let you guys know.
OH the taunting around 100 kilos is killing me.......... I WANT DOUBLE DIGITS AND I WANT IT NOW......

Hang in there! You are probably building muscle as you burn fat. One thing I recently discovered is if I change the intensity of my wlaking, I feel as if I'm losing weight faster. There are a couple of ways to do this. 1) Walk 1/4 mile as fast as you can. Rest 2 min., then do it again for a total of 2 miles. Do this once a week.
2) When out for a walk, pick a distance, like to the next tree or driveway, then walk as fast to that point. Walk your regular pace until your heart rate recovers, then do it again. Try to do this 4 or more times in a regular walk.
You'll be amazed at how quickly you will feel stronger by trying one of these two methods.
