OOPS

Ok i have been absent for quite some time - i had thought i had gotten back on the horse so to speak but then i guess i didnt.
I really dont know what is wrong with me at the moment i just cant seem to motivate myself to do anything. I really want to do something and i keep complaining about it to my husband and friends, but then when it comes to DOING something it just doesnt happen. I really dont know what i need to do to change this awful mindset that i have at the moment.
Maybe just getting off my arse and getting to the gym would be a start!!!! I am starting to feel my clothes getting a little tight especially around my belly, i am not too bad in other area's just there.
Thankfully i am still keeping up my netball so i am not completely out of the picture, but my food choices are just shit to be honest - i get it right for most of the day and i am doing really well having salad and chicken for most meals with a bit of mayo in there for flavour, but then i fall over and bring out the cheese, and the alcohol!!! That i think would be my biggest downfall at the moment.... i am drinking too much. Well i have decided as has Tim that we are going to do something about it - no doubt we will feel like we have cut our arm off when we adjust our portion sizes and cut out the alcohol but i really need to do something.....

Have got back on the horse

Well, it has taken a little while, but i have managed to get back on the horse - I went to the gym for an RPM class on Sunday and then got up again and went this morning - I am pretty pleased with myself - it took surprisingly little effort. I talked on of my friends into comming along - she is keen on improving her fitness a little - she has done a great job herself and lost 15 kg, but is looking for a little something else - I have talked up Sue's program and the benifits that it has given me and how easy it is to follow. She got to the gym with me today and we done the Monday RPM class, My pelvic bone was a tad on the sore side today after yesterday - but it wont take long and i will be used to it - i discovered that i have lost a bit of fitness but that is to be expected.

I am just thrilled that i found the motivation to get up and go - now that i got there i dont really know what was stopping me - I might even get back there tonight and do some weights. I think i will work on one thing at a time and concentrate on the gym and getting there, I thought if i do 5 cardio and 3 weights that will be plenty to increase my fitness and loose a bit of weight as well. Once i am in the groove again i will concentrate on the food - for the moment i will just watch what i eat and be careful on the portion sizes. I think that is fair.

We had a rough weekend just gone - I had drinks with a few friends on Friday night - we decided to go out to the pub for a bit of a dance - my girlfriend and one of my other male mates left and was in the process of walking to her shop to call a taxi and two men came and approached them asking for a light - neither smoke and told them so, next thing they know my mate had been punched in the face and was being dragged in the lane way. My girlfriend went to call my husband (who was working night shift - policeman) and they took her phone and handbag. I got a phone call at 3am from my husband panicing as to where i was - i was still at the pub hehehhe. Telling me that my 2 friends were in hospital - i became very sober very quick i might add. I rushed over there and my goodness did my poor mate look terrible.

Well that is my story for the week - lets hope that the rest of the week is mellow.

a little on edge

Am just a little on edge at the moment the house - my beautiful house. We have signed all the paperwork and it has all been sent off to where it needs to go. We have all the finance all organised.

BUT....

The solicitors have not sent the convencers the paperwork yet - we have settlement on Fruday at 2.30 just to give them extra time to get the paperwork. It is so frustrating, I cant understand what is taking so long - but then again i am not a solicitor - probably a good thing as well i might add. We had our final inspection of the property today, the previous owners are all moved out and the house is vacant so it was good to go and see it empty and i can work out where i am going to place all the furniture. We took the tape measure and measured everything out.... At the moment i am not sure if the dining table is going to fit, might have to do a bit of alterations to that. But everything else is great and i am sure will fit perfectly! They previous owners left a few things behind that i would have expected them to take - but i am happy with that as i loved the little touches that have been left behind.

I have figured that if worse comes to worse and the settlement does not go through on Friday, i will ofter the owners rent for a couple of days so that we can move in - as we have given notice on the current place we are living in and have to be out. I am sure our parents would put us up - but then there is the double moving of furniture and animals and the excitement would be all gone then.

Fingers crossed everyone!!

Whale of a time

Well what more can i say other than the fact that i am feeling so uncomfortable at the moment it is not pleasant - I cant wait for me to start moving again in relation to gym work. Thank goodness Jodie has the time to spare that she can afford a gym partner in the evenings. So we are training together on a 3 day split, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday's. I will factor in some cardio there as well, and be a bit more vigalent when it comes to food and i am hoping that i should see some improvement in a short period of time - even if it is a cm or two just to make me feel better in my clothes.

Thankfully i still fit into my clothes, however they are just a bit tight! Am looking forward to seeing some real decent improvement by Christmas - i am sure that is achieveable and realistic.

Talk soon

RIGHT!!!

Right, I am determined to have a good go at this, i am feeling much better, better each day infact - my body probably just needed a good rest, i am on a multi vitamin and taking berocca just to get me going. I am going to rest up for a few more days and then get stuck into being a new fit and healthy person on Monday.... I think my biggest downfall has been my "need" for socialisation, i love visiting and having people over and doing stuff. Which in turn usually leads to bad food, drinking and then more bad food to make me feel "better" the next day. If it wasnt for weekends i would be set!!!! Funny isnt it how the things we love most is the things that bring us most undone.

I am really head strong at the moment - i have been feeling very uncomfortable in myself the last little while as i am not healthy and carrying a bit extra weight. Time to make a change and put my foot down, i can do this - i have done it before, i just need to be aware of my pitfalls and live life acordingly.

I do have another issue with weekends though - not sure how i will sort it out - i love to have a bit of a sleep in on a weekend, which means ususally getting up about 9.30 or 10.00 this means i have "missed" meal one and should be nearly ready to have meal two - i dont know where to go with this, should i start with meal two at that time or should i have meal one and then be 2 hours behind for the day and be eating lunch at 3pm? Or should i just get up early and eat and then hope that i can go back to sleep for a bit - no ideal either i dont think. Anyone reading have any suggestions??

Will post some measurements on Monday - dont think i will be looking forward to them, but at least i know they can only get smaller :)

sick again

Just a quick update - i was due to finish my 12 week program last week, however due to many complications i have fallen in a heap - i was constantly sick, and then one thing after the next come up and in myself i just couldnt cope with anything let alone getting to the gym and pretending to be fit and healthy.

I want to complete a 12 week program from start to finish and achieve my goals that i set out, but i think i will have to wait a bit longer - for the last 2 weeks i have set myself goals of getting to the gym and starting again, but i have been so sick with the flu (bloody flu shots dont work) that i have not been able to do anything other than drag myself to work and back home again, i have coughed so much i feel like i have craked a rib, i have a blocked nose that seems to somehow still drip - and i have a bit of a temp - do i sound like i am complaining too much??

My sisters wedding has been postponed which is i think a good thing for her, both herself and fiance felt things were flying too fast and getting a bit out of control so they have decided to wait and let everything settle - i think it is a very sensible idea, and would rather a postponed wedding than none at all!!!!

As soon as i am healthy i plan on getting back to the gym quick smart to start all over again!!!! I think the way it is going it might fall in conjunction with my moving house - so new house new lifestyle theme i think - just hope i can keep it up!!!..
