PT, Life the Universe and Everything!!

Hello there cyber space followers, so begins another journey and a week since my last blog.

Since the last week and my post regarding a weigh in, I haven't lost anything (well really it's 300g but let's be honest here that is the difference between another bottle of water or not...)

A few reasons for this lack of change this week.
a) consuming some bad food in the sence of a slice, and a total of 4 glasses of red throughout the week (I know I know, what happened to my alcohol ban...I'm here to tell you it's HARD! Set yourself realistic goals people)
b) potentially from muscle mass gain over weight loss, being that I have completed some weight classes and exercising this could contribute..

So if you take anything away from this, don't go screaming in the mirror or hitting that jar of tim tams if you haven't had a good loss for the week, review your food diary, think about your water intake, time of weigh in etc, all these things play a part, don't get disheartened.

Next on the list - EXERCISE
What did I do since my last blog? Well I certainly have been trying to not over do it, a big thing with being OCD is that when you have something in your mind, you tend to go on a war path until that something is achieved. I have completed a body combat (cardio) and body pump (cardio/weight) classes at the gym and also tonight had my second real PT lesson. These three things I feel should be more then adequate to allow for some kind of social life and relaxation outside of my quest to tone before a cruise (counting down 7 weeks).

Tonights PT sesson was fantastic, I say that through gritted teeth as my legs are still burning...however, what I completed tonight I am quite proud of myself. Firstly a slow jog down to the park to meet with my super fantastic PT Gab (2k), then two jogs around the local park (1.6k approx) followed by a jog to a local street with an enormous hill (at a stretch 300m). Now begins the fun, hill sprints x 4, I know that doesn't seem like much but with a heart rate peak of 183 bpm I can tell you things were getting a little fuzzy. From here we hit the grass, working again with some exercise elastics, we did a range of movements to isolate muscles, followed by some sprints, some ab work (situps and planks) and finally a stretch. JOB WELL DONE!

Motivation for food consumption is waving a bit, finding it difficult to be 'Mrs Goodie TwoShoes",but I take this moments on board and decide to work them off later, writing a food diary helps to put your 'treats' in check so they don't turn into 'all the times'.

Weigh in will probably be Friday morning at this point as I have a HUGE weekend lined up, so until next week.


Thanks for reading,
Stay Awesome!
