Week 8 Results

And finally the scales are moving again. This is good.

Ev the Olympian came to meet Alicia the Personal Torturer on Saturday. It is agreed that Alicia will work on strength training and Ev will focus on my cardio fitness with an emphasis on sprint fitness (oh God what have I done!).

Ev plans to consult her former (Olympic) fitness trainer to develop an appropriate program.

And I am to be pushed out of my comfort zone.

I have created a monster....

Love it.

Weight: 94.5kgs

Team Charlotte

Alicia is back! More sweating in our gym - otherwise known as the garage.

The Team Charlotte t-shirts have arrived and don't they look inspirational! I particularly like the swear bubble.


So, there's Alicia on the left and my sister Moira on the right. Boxing features quite prominently in our workouts and most of the time I enjoy it but I can't say that the boxing crunches are my favourite - nor is the plank or the wall sit.... but then again that's why Alica makes us do them.
