Wayne and I have completely different goals, but we are always up for a challenge. He doesn't really have much weight to lose he just has to get his bottom abs showing again (if only we all had those problems lol) whereas I actually have weight to lose. He wants a weekend away and I want a Fitbit watch if we reach our goals.
The last 9 months have been tough trying to lose all this baby weight. I am 18kg down and I still have a few more to go but I am struggling. With work deadlines, me being so sick and being off with Camden because he has been sick...gym has not been an option and I have been finding it difficult to fit it all in.
I was training at 1pm on my lunch break,we get an hour lunch break but I was taking two and working an hour later in the evening to make up for the extra hour.
It takes me:
- 15minutes to drive to the gym,
- then I need to get dressed,
- do my gym routine which consists of cardio and weight training(1 hour - rushed),
- shower,
- get dressed (hair and make-up) and
- drive back to work which is another 15minutes.
Insane if you ask me. I was feeling far more stressed after my work out than good due to the fact that I was having to rush and make sure I wasn't late.
I now do my fasted morning HIIT cardio on my bicycle at home before work:
- I sprint on the bicycle for 30seconds and
- then cycle at a steady pace for 1min30seconds and
- I repeat this sequence until 30minutes are up.
Next week I will be adding in a 30 day squat circuit challenge which I found on popsugar.com because my backside needs some serious attention!
and I have decided to throw in an arm challenge as well to get rid of the bingo wings.
The beauty about all of this is that I can do it in the comfort of my own home before Camden wakes up in the morning or after he goes to sleep at night, no rush and I still get to burn those calories and put myself into a caloric deficit.
