Day 3 Week 8

Went swimming today and managed to beat my last lap time of 30 seconds and did it in.....wait for it......23 seconds - WHOO HOO!!  Thats a whole 7 seconds quicker - AWESOME!!

Have put in my Calories for today but dinner hasn't been accurately reflected as I ended up purging.  I have also had heartburn alot lately.  Im not conviced its because my band is too tight - I think alot of is that I have tried to eat too quickly and not been relaxed enough.  I will keep an eye on it and if it is still happening after I change those key points I will look at getting it loosened.

I am exhausted tonight, a little sore and menstral on top of it all so I am going to leave this short and head off to bed for a well deserved rest as I have a PT session and Zumba tomorrow - OMG why do I do it to myself!

Day 2, Week 8

I feel so bad for neglecting this blog but I have either been too sick or too busy to get around to it and so I thought I would come in tonight and give you all a quick update!

My eating has been a little on the slack side for the past couple of days due to skipping meals.  I plan to fix this asap as I am feeling really tired again and I need to keep up my strength in order to maintain my hectic schedule.  I did have a couple of days when I pigged out.  When I say pig out I was still within my calories but it was all unhealthy choice foods.  My band has come into play again as my hunger isnt as intense and I have noticed that I get full quicker and yes a couple of times it has come back up.

Exercise wise I am making sure to at least be active even if it isn't in the form of an actual workout - for example.  Today I wore my heartrate watch while I cleaned my carpets and I burnt 298 calories in 1 hour and 15 minutes, how awesome is that!  I can only imagine how many I burnt all up I wish I had of just kept it running all day.  Oooh I think I will do that one day next week just to see what it says!

TODAYS MILESTONE!!

I jogged 300 metres non stop from one end of Jhanines street to the other in 2 minutes and 8 seconds - I am so PROUD of me!!  When Jhanine first suggested we try it I didn't think there was any way that I could do it.  This morning however, after some excellent advice from The Biggest Loser, I decided that rather than think in a negative way I would believe in myself instead and it worked!

NOTE:  I need to pace myself better - I started out too fast and found it hard to push it towards the end.  I am going to try this again in a couple of days and see if I can better my time!

Tomorrow is swimming day WHOO HOO so excited!!
