Good Food and Exercise

Wednesday 30th May 2012 EXERCISE:   Random Thought:  Sometimes I look at my life and I shake my head in disbelief.  I would of never ever imagined that I would love being as physically active as I am.  Don't get me wrong I have my days when I love sitting on my butt and doing nothing but its only days, not months or years...

The Update I promised

WEDNESDAY 23rd MAY On Wednesday afternoon after much self debate, I had my lapband adjusted by .7ml.  As you are aware, of late I have been really struggling with willpower and consistency (which we all know is the key) and so I swallowed my pride and decided that as long as I make sure I do all the 'right' things with regards to good nutrition...

This week is my week..

So I woke up this morning feeling incredibly heavy and blah and unfortunately the scales agreed with that feeling but rather than letting it get me down I decided to just get back on the horse!  This is something I had to do regularly as a kid growing up on the farm, I loved my horse/s but was a lousy rider and I spent more time off the horse...

A Deflated Moment...

After a beautiful afternoon at the Mothers Day Luncheon a visit to my surgeon well and truly burst my happy bubble.  To cut a long story short he just focused on all the negatives and didn't even acknowledge any of the positives I had made over the past 7 weeks!!   I get that my Quads being non-responsive is not a good thing and means...

Mother's Day Luncheon

Well not that I'm surprised by this fact but my Mum was right and today I went along to the School Mothers Day Luncheon and had a really lovely time with some fantastic ladies.  As well as going along as a Mum I was also asked to be a guess speaker, or more to the point singer and so I sang 2 of my favourite 'Mum' inspired songs. Troy Casser-Daley...

So I have had 7 people (3 groups) cancel their sessions this week and put their training on hold until further notice for various reasons (money, family, time).  Each  reason is totally understandable BUT it is really hard to not take it a 'little' personally.  After last nights revelations of being ready to give it all I...

I've been slack I know...

Holy Cow, the last time I posted anything in here it was like Day 5 of the 1MKC and now the 10 week challenge is well and truly done and dusted.  I knew that I hadn't posted in a while but I didn't realise that it had been THAT long!  The only excuse I have is that life had been crazy busy and I was exhausted and of late not really up to...
