This week has been really hard because my training has been really restricted. You try not to get injured but it just happens that way, so you can’t do anything about that. I haven’t been able to do as much as I would have liked, but I did what I could do and we’ll just see how it goes at weigh-in.

Weigh-in is always horrible. It’s daunting, you’ve got to get on the scales and you don’t really know how you’ve gone because you’ve got no idea, you just know you’ve done the right things with your diet.

That’s all you can do, go in there with no regrets. That’s what I try and do each week - just know that what I’ve done is what I could have done and not have any regrets by the end of it. If we’re below the yellow line then so be it. There are worse things than going home to my husband and my kids!

Not that I want to go home, but you just think, if that’s the way the cards fall, that’s the way they fall and you’ve just got to deal with that. I don’t want to get all wound up in ‘it’s the worst thing ever’ because at the end of the day, everyone’s going to go, so you just hope you make the most of what you’ve done while you’ve been here.

Wayne gave me a phone call this week, which was amazing. That was the first one since we’ve left home. The only disappointing thing is my kids weren’t home, that was a bit hard. But I got to speak to Campbell and everything’s good. They want me to stay, so that’s good. I know everything’s OK so if we get through this week’s weigh-in, I know that everything’s alright at home and I’ll just keep going and doing what I’m doing.

Generally I’m good, I’m positive. Just having injuries sets you back emotionally, you feel like everyone’s out there running 10km and you’re not allowed to do it. That was really disappointing and you feel like you’re disappointing your trainer and yourself, that’s really hard. But at the end of the day, you want to be here longer so you’ve got to let it heal this week and hope next week you can get back on the track and do what you can do.

The challenges are awesome, they’re just so much fun and something you would never ever do in a lifetime, so to have the opportunity is fantastic, I’m just loving it. I was just frustrated because I couldn’t do the part of the brain and brawn challenge I wanted, which was holding the bucket because of my injuries, but that’s OK, that’s the way it worked out and you just make the most of it.

Every day is just so different and life-changing; every day you’re doing different things and learning different things, so it’s been an amazing start to the journey and I just hope I’m here to enjoy lots more of it.

I’m enjoying the task-orientated stuff we do with Shannan in training because it’s a minute of this or a minute of that, or two minutes of this, and then you change, so you do all your body group. You exhaust one part of your body and then you exhaust the next muscle group, that’s what I like.

All the outside training has been fun as well, and because it’s all different - every training session we do has got a different element - it’s good to learn different ways to exercise, not just the cross trainer and treadmill. In the long term, you know you’re not going to get bored doing the same stuff because you’ve got a variety of resources that you can utilise, so it’s good.

The house is great. It’s different and it’s definitely stressful at times. There are lots of young people here, so it’s quite amusing at times to watch them interact. I think I’m glad I’m older and maybe a bit wiser when it comes to how to handle yourself!

It’s a completely different environment to anything you’ve ever done, so you just take it for what it is and run with it. Make the most of it is my thing – I just want to have no regrets while I’m here, so you’ve just got to enjoy every element of it.

Hi to my family if they’re reading this! Hello, you know I’m thinking of you,
