Weight 54.4kg

WTF!!! not sure how I gained 1 kilo overnight.  Nevermind this weight is still good for me and I'm still following my new eating plan so maybe TTOM is approaching.....

Weight 53.3kg

Wow this is the lowest I have been in years.  I know its only 2kgs off my last weight but I have made it.  I started a new way of eating on Saturday and my goal weight was 53kg.  Its seems I have just about made it in 3 days! how bizare.  I wasn't even this weight before I fell pregnant the first time.  Feeling great and I really don't need to loose anymore.

Diet

Well I shouldn't really use the term diet but a new way of eating, this starts on Monday so will have to see how I go.  I am dedicated to stick to it for the next 12 weeks and am excited to see how it makes me feel.

I bought a new book last week off the internet it's by Tiffany Hall (The Gladiater) and its called "How to Create your Ultimate Body".  Wasn't sure what it would be like but seeing as I enjoy reading all things about food and body thought I would give it a go and I must say I am enjoying it.  It's nothing knew but it is a balanced way of eating and I reckon its one of the better books I have read.

Bailey is starting to sleep better only getting up once a night so I can cope with that, just struggling with the 6am starts that's all, probably because its still dark at this time.

Have changed my training around again so weights is now 3 times per week and cardio 3 times per week, much better for me as I need to be flexible.  Have put on 1 kilo though not surprising I need to quit the chocolate habit, that and its the TOTM.

WOW!

Wrote myself a new 3 day split last night instead of the 6 days per weeks weights I have been doing as I do like to do some spin and I just can't fit in it otherwise.  Well, I surprised myself it was only on the weekend I was just thinking I'm so over all this but I did legs and shoulders this morning, no cardio and in every rep in every set I did PB's.  Can't get better than that.

Over it!

Hmmm been to the gym the last few days and less than impressed with the way I have been feeling.  Its like I'm totally over it even though I had a week off cause I was sick.  Funny thing was I went in there and said to the girl that I couldn't be bothered and wasn't going to push myself and to my surprise did some PB's.

Anyway gotta sit down this weekend and write myself a new program.  I only want to do 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio a week.  This 6 days a week of weights is starting to wear thin and its not than I'm not enjoying it but I need a change  and also if I can't make it to the gym I'm stuck whereas at least if I can't make it to the gym I can make up a cardio session at home and leave the 3 days of weights for the gym.

Anyway I'm going to have a little arvo nap when hubby wakes from his.  We had a bad night with Bailey and I'm guessing I'm still not over the galandular fever entirely.

Rethinking training

Thanks girls for your comments.  I did manage to get to the gym today and did legs and I even did a couple of PB's which is surprising seeing as I'm sick but I must admist by the end of the workout I was starting to feel faint so rather than do my 20 min power walk on the treddie I rode the bike.  I know I shouldn't have gone but I really do feel much better and I will listen to my body and if I start to go down hill again will give it a rest.  I just can't seem to live without doing something and walking just doesn't seem enough, plus for some reason at the moment I can't help having something bad every day like chocolate.  Why just a few weeks ago could I stick to a regimented comp like diet for 10 weeks and now I just can't get my head around it.  Must be the fact of being sick and the kids, its damn hard work trying to fit everything in.

Anyway I was thinking about my training today and I train with weights 6 days a week, that's one body part per day, plus 30 mins cardio (powerwalking), that's 10 mins before workout and 20 mins after.  I'm thinking is this really necessary.  I love spin classes and with this sort of schedule I can't do any because I can't really be at the gym longer than an hour with 2 small kids and to be honest I don't really want to.  So either I need to come up with something where I get good results training with weights 3 times a week with 3 days of cardio and 1 rest day.  I'm not training for a comp however yes I want to look good and have some muscle definition.  I was also contemplating whether I should renew my gym membership at the end of the year or just build on my home gym or go completely the other way and get rid of the weight machine thingy I have at home and get a pilates reformer I have seen some girls who are pilates instructors who never go to the gym and they have fab looking bods.
