Week 7 - Day 1 - Not a good run

I got up and did my running program this morning but it wasn't the best. I'm meant to have a group crossfit session tonight but the gym has just run to say they are putting up their prices as of now and most of us can't afford what they are asking. So tonight if there are more than 7 of us then I have volunteered to go home.
My eating has been awesome and I'm actually really looking forward to weigh in on Wednesday.

Week 6 - Day 7 - I survived

I survived the Old Boilers Night and had so much fun. I had to wear slippers with penis on them all night which got many comments from others at the pub. The things we do!
I tried to eat sensibly while out and chose a Thai beef salad. I had a bout 4 glasses of white wine before I started on the spirits. I did have diet coke with the spirits but I know I blew my calories for the day. I've tried to be extremeley good today and will know by Wednesday what damage I did last night. I'm not panicking!

Week 6 - Day 6 - Old Boilers Night

I'm having my Old Boilers night tonight and I'm just a bit excited. I've got around 40 women meeting me at the pub for dinner and drinks. It could end up very messy! I don't drink much these days so I'll have to pace myself. I'm also panicking about the calorie intake. I've decided to drink white wine and top it up with soda water. This will hopefully make me drink slower and not as much.
I did super Saturday this morning with a spin class follwed by a pump class. I was drenched at the end of it but I only burned off 750 calories. What's with that? I'm finding that the further I go with this program, the harder it seems to be I have to work to burn off calories. Kinda makes sense but shit it's hard work.
Tomorrow is a rest day and probably a recovery day.

Week 6 - Day 5 - 15 days to go

Only 15 days to go until I get married. Woohoo!
Did a really lethargic run on the tready and the same at pump this morning. Just don't seem to have too much energy today. Might have something to do with not being able to sleep in the middle of the night so I got up and did a couple of hours of ironing before going back to bed. May as well be productive if I'm not sleeping. Crazy really but I hate laying in bed and not sleeping. I'm actually really tired now and can't really be bothered even working.
An easy night tonight as it is "Get you own tea" in our house tonight. I'm pulling out one of the meals I've had prepared and frozen in the freezer.
For super Saturday I'm doing spin followed by pump and then a small run. I always aim for at least 1000 caloires.
The past couple of days I've basically burned off the same amount of calories that I've eaten. Maybe that also has something to do with my tiredness!

Week 5 - Day 4 - I did it!

I ran for 20 minutes without stopping and covered 3.5km. I'm warpt. I've been doing my happy dance all day today. I never truely believed I could do it but I was determined that I would. It actually wasn't too bad either which now makes me think I can go further. I want to do 5km now. I'm so pumped.

Week 6 - Day 3 - Nice lose

I lost 1.4 this week which now brings my grand total to 8kg and 9.8% of me gone. I'm so stoked. It is so exciting to see the numbers coming down. I'm half way there now so it is full steam ahead.
I di my running program this morning which had me running for 8 minutes at a time. I made it and never thought I could run that long. I took a sneak peak at tomorrows program and freaked. I have to run for 20mins straight up. The negative voices went off in my head straight away. I'm trying really hard not to listen to them. I will give it a go and let you all know.
Tonight I have PT followed by tennis with my youngest daughter. I love palying tennis with her. We have so much fun and laugh heaps. I think we are the craziest tennis players to take to the courts. We have all these High 5 moves which crack us up. Don't know if any of the other players are too impressed.
My son starts his fianl Yr12 exams tomorrow.

Week 6 - Day 2 - A bit lethargic

I did the most amazing crossfit group session last night. It involved running, bear crawls, walking lunges, push ups, squats, kettle bell swings, toe touches, knees to elbows, one arm clean and press, burpees and then more running. This may sound simple but the number of reps were incredible. 400m runs with 25kg weights, 50 & 75 push ups, 100 squats, 50 toe touches, 50 burpees etc etc etc. I ate it all up. I loved it and didn't want it to finish. I was first finished so I was rewarded with another 400m run carrying an empty beer barrel. It was awesome.
Today I ran on the tready and then did pump but I was rally lethargic. I think last night might have taken a bit out of me. I actually really had to push myself to get out of bed and go to the gym. This has been the hardest day to get up and going but I just kept thinking, JFDI. What a powerful mantra.
