First BODYATTACK
Tonight I finally did my first bodyattack back from having my baby and I managed to survive! I did a mix of high and low impact, mainly cuz I didn’t want to go too hard the first time back and find out I can’t walk the next morning. As it turned out, my hips only [...]
BBQ aka “Terras Monique” ….take 2
Finally we have returned from the BBQ at John’s, and this time we got the right weekend, lol. Because I met John last weekend, that meant the only people there I was yet to meet was Keyla and the rest of Vicki’s family. Sigma, Vicki, Janne and Rien I had met previously when I came [...]
BODYCOMBAT
Tonight Alexander and I asked his sister to mind Connor for us so that we could both go to the gym to do BODYCOMBAT. It was a great class and it was nice to be combatting next to my husband again
We did the latest release of course, cuz they’re not mixing at the [...]Pilates
Tonight it was Alexanders turn to do classes and do step in the evening, so as soon as he got home I went to the gym ealier to try out the pilates class.
The class reminded me of why I love Les Mills so much. It wasn’t a BAD class, but I did get bored quickly, [...]RPM replaces BODYATTACK
Well tonight I decided to try out attack, even thought I think it might be a bit much for my hips at the moment (running and bodypump seem to aggravate me), but there wasn’t really any other classes I wanted to do, so I decided that I could do low impact if necessary.
But when I [...]Training program
So this weekend I weighed myself and I’ve managed a great start with a drop in 1.5kg in the first week. I haven’t been calorie cutting at all, just replacing my diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, so this should be a sensible weight loss. I did a BODYBALANCE class this morning, because [...]
BBQ aka “Terras Monique”
Well, yesterday morning we packed our bags to go to John’s place for the BBQ weekend which has become famous amongst the Dutch forumers. We were the first to arrive, and I thought John was joking when he said we got the wrong weekend.
But no, Alexander and I had screwed up, I guess with the [...]Cross trainer and Balance
Back at the gym again and this time I headed to the gym a bit before balance to get in 20 mins on the cross trainer before doing balance.
It was interesting trying to use the cross trainer, since most of the instructions are in Dutch……ugh. But I kept pressing buttons until finally I got [...]BODYSTEP
Alexander helped me sign up at the gym yesterday, but we didn’t actually do any classes, however tonight I went in on my own to do BODYSTEP (while Alexander fixed the washing machine which wasn’t draining properly). Since I don’t usually do step, I was a bit concerned about how I’d go following a class [...]
Fixed blog - Reported Attack Site
I’ve had a few reports of people saying this blog has been reported as an atttack site and that anti-viruses show a trojan when browsing this page. I’m not 100% sure what has happened, but I can only assumed that the Wordpress blog software has been compromised somehow.
So, what I have done is downloaded the [...]First weigh in
As promised it’s Monday morning and I did my first weigh in on the scales.
Weight: 88.5kg
I would also like to take measurements with the tape measure aswell, but this will have to be post-poned as we don’t currently have a tape measure. Yesterday Alexander and I went for quite an extended walk and tonight we [...]Training schedule to return to fitness
Since giving birth to Connor I’ve discovered I’ve put on a lot more weight than I would have liked, and I haven’t managed to lose much in the 2 months since then. With lots of stress going on, it was hard to get into a routine, even though I did do quite a few classes, [...]
Back in Apeldoorn
After many stressful days packing and trying to finalise everything and sort out stuff, we’ve finally arrived back here in The Netherlands after a relatively uneventful flight. We had a flight to Kuala Lumpar, with a 3 hour stopover and then direct to Amsterdam from there.
You get looked after pretty well on the plane when [...]Family Reunion
Back on Mothers’ Day when Alexander met just a couple of my Dutch aunties at Belair National Park, we decided to organise a family reunion so he could meet the family. Since my cousin Angie (Anjelica) is also in a relationship with a guy from Switzerlands (Fabian) we decided to also use the opportunity for [...]Our going away party
I would like to thank all those that came to the Mawson Lakes Hotel for dinner with us for our final weekend here in Australia. Most of our friends were there and I apologise if there was anyone I didn’t really get to talk to on that night. With so many people there it was [...]
