Not much

to report that is.  Primal is going ok although I am still having my chocolate here and there and the last couple of weeks I have been having a drink here and there so imagine what I could achieve if I just cut those small things out!:)  I have had a few comments, one from the owner at the gym who said how slim I was, another from a girl at the gym who came up to me and mentioned my abs and also said how she overheard these 4 guys talking about my abs, and I'm like WHAT ABS?  so critical of myself, and then my brother mentioned how I looked like skin and bones and needed a good feed.  Now I can tell you I don't look skinny at all and I certainly don't look good in a bikini, same old trouble spots butt and thighs, but I must admit primal is certainly agreeing with my abs.  I just need to tighten the diet up a bit more I must admit I have been boredom eating the last few days and the kids have been stressing me out, aswell as getting up in the night so this combined with being tired = boredom eating, but hey as I have mentioned heaps of time this is a lifestyle for me.  I am not training for a comp and so if I slip up here and there well that is life.  Take today for instance I did really want to train, but hubby was working all day, and being a public holiday the gym creche was closed.  I could have gone for a walk but my 3 year old does not really like being in the pram for an hour so its just not worth all the drama.  The plan was to do a workout at home tonight, but both my babies were tired and grizzly and then my 3 year old basically knocked himself out on the wall so by the time they went to bed the last thing I wanted to do was work out.  Very rarely do I miss a session, but I have decided life throws these little curve balls at you and I am sick and tired of burning myself out and training some days when its just the last thing I want to do.  Next week I am going to start doing Turbulence Training again.  I like the concept and it also makes it easier to train at home if I can't get to the gym!:)

Interesting

So its interesting to learn that I have been on the primal blueprint lifestyle for 2 weeks now and have been about 80% compliant.  This takes into account a few wines during the week.  Now yesterday I had mum and dad over for breakfast and made bircher muesli and I had about 1/2 cup and also had some chocolate during the day.  What happened?  It send me up for hunger, cravings and I also woke up with a massive headache today.  Now apart from yesterday for the 2 weeks I have been primal I have been feeling fantastic, have so much energy, I am at my lowest weight ever, my stomach has gone flat and I have even had some positive comments at the gym, all in less than 2 weeks.  It is definatley working for me and I love the fact I am not getting hungry and I can take it or leave it for food and I am completely satisfied.  This is a lifestyle I will be sticking to and it is so damn easy.  I don't feel at all deprived and I don't have to worry if I eat or not.

Anyway its 10.45 and I am still in my PJ's.  Not sure if I will work out today or not.  I should but my body is telling me not to with my headache.  Usually I listen to my head but with this new lifestyle I am starting to listen to my body.  Hubby has gone back to bed he still has a bad ear infection from Broome over 2 weeks ago so that is part of the reason I haven't been to the gym and I can't workout tonight as we are going to a bbq at 4pm, so I either need to get my butt in gear and workout from home or just have another rest day.

I work again tomorrow and finish at 12.30pm and then I am getting my hair coloured.  Hubby can do the food shopping for me and the kids are in daycare so I will probably go to the gym at 6am tomorrow.
