Tired!

My body is tired! My mind is tired! I cant find that passion to keep going at the moment!Everything seems to hard, having an injury is getting me down and need to find a way to get back my mojo! On the bright side though I did do my first training ride with the girls for The Ride to Conquer Cancer. We rode 23.4kms on the road which frightened the living bejoisus outta me lol! I must have ridden the ass out of my pants because when we got back I had ripped the crutch out of my leggings lol. So I bought a pair of padded bum pants which I will try out tomorrow night as I have another training ride with Gerry. I really need to get my head sortedout though and get back in the game!JFDI! x

Wednesday Weigh in Week 6

This weeks loss reflects on my behaviour from the weekend I think!0.4kg is still a loss so I will take it lol but I dont think I deserve it! However since monday my nutrition has been spot on which is great as I have a knee injury that I am nursing at the moment so have had to hold all my favourite classes off and going to do swimming instead. I think I tend to forget that my body is 115kg and even though my mind is confident doing all this exercise my body is obviously saying otherwise! So swimming it is for this week and will re-assess next week how my knee is and whether to start back doing other things. Cause it sux not being able to do combat :( Anyway I hope everyone is fighting fit and getting out there! JFDI! Sam xxx

Weekend Blues!

Well struggling a bit this weekend :( My nutrition has been all over the shot exercise still good but its like I have reached a milestone and its ok with my brain to have a mini feast!What is it with our minds!!!!! This afternoon after PT I am going to sit down at the table and plan my meals and snacks for the week, I have found since my daughter has been away for the week I have deviated from the plan and just 'gotten by' with feeding for one easy non nutritional meals mainly comfort and convenience I guess. Time to snap out of it and get back to the job at hand I say! Start of week 6, a new week a new plan and get cracka lackin lol!Hopefully scales will reflect with the exercise I have done and my not so bad nutrition but if it doesnt hey nothing I can do about it today but can tomorrow. See ya wednesday for weigh in guys!

30.4kg Gone!

Wow I made it to 30kg gone! Who wouldve thought! It seems though I still have a long way to come mentally because the fiirst thing I did last night after I had some dinner,decided to go to bingo with a friend to catch up and she sat there with a bowl of juicy fat chips with gravy on them, so I went and ordered myself a bowl and then preceded to add a couple of steamed dim sims to it just for good measure! WTF was I thinking! I can tell you though I paid for it later in the nite with stomach pains from putting too much rubbish in my body! So I think I need to work on this food for rewards bullshit!This morning when I got up packed my lunch and snacks for work so no deviating from the plan today! Off to boxing PT today to try and work off whate I ate lol. Will I learn? I bloody hope so!Have a great day xx

Struggletown on the weekend!

Well I did do the 1000 steps again and took only 1 minute 45 off my time but I had a friend with me who hadnt done them before and was very cautious as the steps were very slippery from the rain the previous night.But I am definitely going to go again very soon! This weekend I struggled a bit, I had to take my daughter to her nannies in Shepparton for school holidays so my SSS was out the window. then while we were there we had a family lunch (italian Family) so lots of pasta and antipasto everywhere and for some stupid reason thought this was an open invitation to eat more, by the end of the day I felt sick! Not only did my stomach hurt from overeating foods that I hadnt eaten in a while but I was upset with myself for doing it! I still have a long way to go mentally but this is just another speed bump to get over right?So Sunday I did my half hour training with Tash our combat instructor and she is amazing, flogged us but amazing, it is so intense for half an hour sweat dripping off you and you feel like you have worked out!!! Also this weekend did our 4 weekly fitness test and took 1.05 mins off my 1km time trial! But let myself down by doing less push ups, still need to work on my core and did much better in my wallsit! Overall pretty happy where I am at but need to lift the game a bit this week while my daughter is at nannies going to do heaps of classes i think. Take Care xx

Sucker for punishment lol!

Well I did it! The 1000 steps that is. Last time I did this I was 30kg+ heavier and went up and down in 1 hr 8 mins. Wednesday I did it 30kg lighter and took 10 mins off my time!!! 58 mins. I know its no world record but I am so proud of myself and how far I have come! Gerry one of my crew made me go faster down then run from the bottom of the stairs to the car park and she wasnt listening to all those excuses I was giving her lol!So thanks gerry for the big push. last night I had a girlfriend ring up and ask me to go again today and I thought omg no way! That was the old me, I said yes! So off I am going this morning for another crack maybe try and better my time just a little lol! Then tonite we are off to the Peninsula Hot Springs by then I think my body will be screaming for lol! Oh well off I go. Wish me luck! Love my new found energy! x

Wednesday weigh in Week 4

Today is our first mini milestone week! Every 4 weeks we weigh in and measure and do our fitness tests to see how much impact 4 weeks has had on us. This weeks loss for me was 1.6kg so extremely happy with that although would have loved the extra 300g to take me to my 30kg total loss so far lol! next week for sure! So now looking back over the past 4 weeks I have lost 7.3kg and a total of 15cm from my body in measurements, yet to do the fitness test until sunday with the crew so should be able to gauge how I am going with my fitness goals by that. Today a bunch of our crew are heading off to 1000 steps up in the Dandenongs for a crew challenge and also another tick off my bucket list!Hopefully the weather will be kind lol! Forecast is sunny but very cold up there of a morning so will have to layer up! Will report bck in onSunday with the fitness test results! Take Care xx
