Hernia

Going in on Friday to have a small hernia around my belly button sewn up. This means no weights for 3 weeks, this is going to kill me! Will have to really tighten up the diet I think so I don't go backwards. Been really slack in that department aswell.

I find this very odd

Its very strange that is seems when I tighten the belt on my nutrition and really watch what I eat I seem to struggle to loose weight according to the scale. Now I know the scale is not the bee all and end all but I do use it out of interest to see what my weight is as my clothes never seem to get tight so I can't use that as a tool. Yet, when I don't worry what I am eating and even have some chocolate and dessert thrown in here and there I loose weight. What is that all about? Does it mean maybe I shouldn't follow a plan and worry about what I am eating and just enjoy what I eat? When I don't worry about what I am eating there is definatley more carbs in my diet? Strange hey?

I need a new breakfas

Ok I have been eating oats and egg whites for about 5 years now even when i was pregnant as I love them and they feel me up, however I am now finding they fill me up too much and I think its time for a change. Does anyone have any good FILLING brekkie ideas that only take about 5 mins to make?

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.

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!
