4th week, 7 days personal challenge report

I had the whole week feeling very lethargic, stuffy, sore and ache with flu/cold symptom. Didn't sleep very well as coughing all night. Managed to fit one run on Sunday 21/06/09 for just 5k. I thought I didn't do that bad.

I am continuing my personal challenge next week for another 30 days so I can achieve my target goal. I did a boxing session yesterday and has will have another one tomorrow. I look forward to that. My shoulder, arm and upper body are sore and feeling really hard as muscle are pumping from boxing session. I really enjoyed and felt like I can do boxing for long term training as part of full body / all round exercise (hardcore!) I want to write a bit more about my boxing session tomorrow as I forgotten to bring my camera yesterday (I promised some photo shots right?). Our instructor is 6 months pregnant but she didn't give us any sympathy during the session! Ha..ha..

As I am not back into the training game and felt much better, this week report for my another 30 days personal challenge will be on starting next Monday 29/06/09. I also got 2 weeks before my Tough Guys and Gals Challenge in Auckland and hope I have prepared myself mentally and physically for the event.

I hope to have a fresher report the week after as I surely couldn't see myself training at all next week. Hope there will be some shots of me with the equipments (bike, wind trainer, ab crunch, maybe even boxing!) to show that I am doing all this for real! I am blowing my nose really hard as I type this blog.....best get back to bed and get warm....

2nd week, 7 days personal challenge report

I struggled a bit on this 2nd week due to weathers aren't that brilliant for running and biking. Thanks to my wind trainer I managed to fit few session but did miss the outdoor bike ride.

I also haven't been that good taking the photos this week as my hubby was away on business trip in Christchurch hence the pictures are a bit pants! I must admit the D60 camera are just the business and differences in photos from last week and this week are huge in term of the sharpness of the image. Still, as long it does the purpose (does it make my belly look even more huge?) that's what matter. Trying to take the photo of me standing on the scale also tricky as it didn't justify my weight that well. What the heck, I did lose 0.2 kg.

Ok, results of 2nd weeks are as followed.
