All going good

All is going good. Had a week off weights last week and did cardio only for 6 days. How boring!! but back into this week, I do miss my weights training.

I had a brain scan yesterday, I am sure it is nothing but have been suffering from really bad headaches for over a week now. These are really painful and constant, funny today has been a good day!!

Not following any particular eating plan which seems to be working for me better actually as I don't get the guilts but seem to be eating a balance of protein and veg with some fruit added in.

Kids are driving me up the wall as usual. I think that is why I don't have to do as much cardio as I am always on the go with the kids!

OMG has it been that long

I can't believe its been nearly a month since I have posted! probably because there is not that much to tell.

Training is going fine although I am having a week off weights and doing cardio only, doctors orders. He wanted me to not go to the gym for a month and I said no way am I not going, the best I can do for you is one week of no weights just cardio. I have abnormal urea readings and he thinks that my body goes into a catabolic state when I lift weights and my body isn't getting rid of the waste. Now I have no idea if this is true and I really can't see that an hour of exercise per day, 6 days a week is really going to do that. It's got to be something else in my opinion. Anyhow I am doing this for a week.

Nutrition wise not really following any plan at the moment, I actually think its better for me this way. I am just going to use my hunger as a guide so some days I may eat only 3 times, other days maybe 5 or 6 small meals. I really don't want to eat if I am not hungry and at the other end of the scale if I am hungry I don't want to wait until I next eat if that makes sense.

Bailey is 9 months old now and has 6 teeth! He is growing up so quick!

I'm still here

Yep got my mojo back, just shows what a new program will do for you!

My leg program is so intense now its killing me but I'm loving it. Only been doing it for a week but I feel great! I am now doing 4 days weights with 2 of the days being leg training. Cardio is done on the other 2 days and depending if I have enough time after weights will do some here and there. I only have an hour though!

Eating has been going great guns, apart from when I went down south for the weekend but hey I am usually so good so I did want to relax a little and have a couple of wines. The food wasn't that bad anyway!

On another note I am still trying to decide whether to keep advertising with the weddings website for the makeup I do for weddings. I am getting a few enquiries from it but that's about it. I want to keep doing it but if I'm getting no work what is the point. I know I need to advertise more but I also don't want to waste my money at the same time!!

Plodding along

Yep just plodding along.  Lost motivation at the gym last week, still went but felt like I was just going through the motions.  I have been looking on the internet for a new program but its just confused me even more.  Been looking at the Turbulence training, but not sure I suppose its just scary trying something different I think we all get used to the same sort of training.  I'm sure I will figure something out!  I am getting an appraisal at the gym this week and the trainer will be doing me a new program so hopefully its ok, I don't always like the programs they do for me as they are usually generic but I think this guy will be ok, he hears where I am coming from!

Weighed myself today and its 53.8kg which isn't bad.  After dropping so much the previous week and then the next day it going up over a kg for no reason it seems to be slowly coming down but you know what I'm not worried about the scale weight really I reckon it just F.....s with your head.  In fact prior to this month I hadn't weighed myself for ages.

My eating is going fine I have cheated here and there but nothing major, its fitting in with my lifestyle fine!

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.
