Thursday 27 October – Measurement Day Week 10

Hi all today was measurement day and as you will see I did not drop that much in my fat percentage and weight!

See the Progress Gallery for latest pics on progress up to week 10, and measurements is also uploaded. I did expect better results though but this is what it is.

Last two weeks of the Challenge and will give it my ALL even though I have given this my EVERYTHING the last 10 weeks.

Have a wonderful day.

 

USN 12-week Body & Lifestyle Transformation Challenge

If you are still considering getting a starter pack I would suggest you save some money and get yourself one. Yes you can do the challenge without it by getting all the info online etc but I would say the USN Starter Pack is a much better option. All the information needed is compiled in the booklet and that “little passport” just makes the challenge more real ;-).

Today 6 October 2011 is my Week 7 date and I am a completely changed person. My lifestyle has improved and changed like no words can describe.

If you have any questions about the challenge visit the USN website: http://usn.co.za

There is some GREAT resources and information. Video clips/testimonies and all the answers you need.

Journal day 36: 22 September 2011

Wow what a awesome workout. I can definitely feel the difference in the exercises that I am doing. Also decided to take my eyes of the calories while weight training.  I just give it my all and know that I am working hard during my sessions. So if I must walk out with only 100 kcal burned at least I know I gave it my all every time.

Remember discount at Dis-Chem

Don’t forget the special that Dis-Chem stores offer. So stock up on Friday 🙂

I did Back and Biceps this morning and added 3 sets Bench dips of 10 reps. My cardio for today is Zumba again at 16:15. My favourite cardio workout ever! I will then try to do some Abs at home tonight.

I have to confess I am thinking of Sushi 24/7 lol…This little Chinese restaurant is on my way home so it is so tempting every time I drive past there. Just have to stay strong and set my mind on something else. Can’t have Sushi every night come on…I never even liked sushi before, now it’s a different story…

Weight-Loss Phedra-Cut Slim Packs

If you ever wondered about the slim packs this is the response I got from USN:

My question:

Hi USN can I take Phedra CUT ULTRA XT’S with my slim packs. To how many Phedra Cut XT capsules is one sachet equivalent to? I just love the slim pack as a gym drink, must I rather use another drink? Entering week 6 of the 12 week challenge and going strong…www.lifestylechallenges.wordpress.com. Thanx Claudine

USN SA – Ultimate Sports Nutrition Hi Claudine, one sachet of the Slim Pack is equal to one serving (3 pills) of the Phedra-Cut Ultra XT. The Slim Packs can be interchangeable with the Phedra-Cut Ultra XT during the day, and other benefits include assisting with hydration and improving you satiety level. Good luck with the second half of your challenge! Regards, USN

This was overall a good day except for the part where we got a call out for fires at and around our lodge. The fires was caused by lighting and it was terrible…We just prayed for rain and at the end the wind turned and our farm did not burn. Thank goodness for that, I just feel really bad for all the other farmers who’s farms burned…

Have you started with with making lifestyle changes? Even though you don’t do the challenge start making changes somewhere.

Have a super evening all…
