Hi Everyone!
Weight 59.6kg/131lbs
MONDAY-SUNDAY Run/walk for 2 hrs/ free weights
My fitness has been making steady progress. I'm running faster now than 20 weeks ago and I can lift heavier weights.
On another note, I've been thinking about volunteering for the Elizabeth Fry Society for women that are waiting for trial. I want to volunteer there to get an insight into what goes on at court and what the people waiting think about the justice system and the police. I haven't had any contact with anyone that has commited any crime, so I think that this might be good experience for me.
I also want to go on a ride along, but these are very hard to come by. I will go on one someday!

Week 18
Hi Everyone!
Weight 60.8kg /134lbs
MONDAY-FRIDAY Tennis
SATURDAY-SUNDAY 2 hr walk
This week has been pretty good. I really enjoy beating my husband at tennis!
I've been watching a new TV show called Rookie Blue. I seriously love it because it's about new police officers in Toronto! I know that police TV shows are not realistic, but it's enjoyable to watch new police officers make mistakes and learn from them.
In one show, one of the trainers ask a rookie exactly where they are whilst driving down the street. This is a game me and husband have started playing. He suddenly asks me where I am and I have to quickly answer which street and block # we're on and which direction (north, south, east or west). It's harder than it seems because you have to be alert all the time!
What are your favorite TV shows? How does it relate to you?

Week 17
Hi Everyone!
Weight 61kg/134lbs
MONDAY-FRIDAY Tennis
This week, I've been reflecting on my weight loss journey. I went from 63kg down to 59kg and back up to 61kg. This inconsistent weight loss mirrors my inconsistent eating habits. I'm usually very disciplined during the work week, but on my days off it all falls apart! Me and my husband go out walking and we'll have an ice cream and eat at the restaurant or I'll cook something fattening, but delicious. I think I can break that habit as soon as I complete a full week of eating well. I've been reading the "Eat Clean Diet" because I think we eat too much processed food on the weekends. It's not healthy at all! Now I can substitute a high fat food for something natural and fresh and still be satisfied.
What's your favourite food? Do you consistently eat healthily?

Week 16
Hi Everyone!
Weight 61kg/134lbs
MONDAY-SUNDAY Walking and tennis.
I went away to some hot springs this week, so I didn't exercise as much as I should have. The hot springs were alright - not really what I expected. The pools looked just like small swimming pools and they smelt of chlorine. There were millions of screaming kids! It wasn't the romantic getaway I was expecting! But at least we got away from home for a while:)
I've been feeling a little lazy recently, but I will start running again from Thursday. I need to exercise harder because my work involves a lot of sitting. Most of the people that work with me are severly overweight. This job creates/exacerbates an unhealthy lifestyle. I am not enjoying it too much right now. I can't wait to be a police officer, but I must commit to this job for at least 2 years before I can.

Week 14
Hi Everyone!
Weight 59.3kg
MONDAY-SATURDAY Bikram Yoga
SUNDAY Tennis
I'm diligently going to yoga. It makes me feel good, but I have noticed some side effects: my face is breaking out (I've never experienced acne before), I'm not losing any weight, I'm getting bored of doing the same poses over & over again, my purse is a lot lighter, I don't feel fitter (I feel more flexible) and my appetite has decreased.
I'm actually a bit relieved that I only signed up for 5 weeks. I don't think I would like to do it for a year. I feel a bit vain, but I do not appreciate the acne & lack of weight loss! I'm going to start running again when I finish with hot yoga and I'll do regular yoga on the side.
