One week down and 1.5kg lost. I weighed in at 67.6 this morning and I'm really happy with that. My goal this week is to lose 600g, because then I'll be 66.9kg which means I can buy my new training pants.

Great classes this morning, 6am's worked hard and pump at 9am was great!

Tomorrow's run is 6.6km tempo, although I want the Waiheke group to take it easy, no injuries before Saturday please!

The package for the Gold Coast Marathon is ready, so if you are interested I need to start looking at numbers now. We will have our own tent at the finish line for R&R, so we can be back on our feet and shopping the following day! Details are on the home page.

I'm sure you join me in wishing Wilma all the best for her first overseas marathon in the searing heat of Manila, she leaves on Wednesday and has promised to keep in touch through the facebook page.

Don't forget that there is a 13 week transformation program starting on 7th February.
