Lost in transit

As hard as I tried it not to effect me the truth is that the scales going up by 4kgs did. So much so that I didn't follow the diet this week. I did make some of the meals but i feel like what ever.
I want to get back on track for next week. I find it hard to digest the fact that I followed the program ( and I don't blame the program) and I lost weight, i was so stocked to see the scales go down. My inner princess was jumping for joy. To see the next week my cloths felt tight and the weight was back on.
Does this have something to do with the fact I have PCOS? Maybe. but Maybe not!

I went to the doctors, they checked everything and that looks fine. Got some troubles with my left shoulder but that's a different story all together.

Have anyone any idea whats going on, and how do you handle a fail, how do you become positive again?

Thanks for reading

Mind Games

I find it rather interesting that week to week, even just a few days a part how my mind set can change shift do a 360 and then even tilt on its axes.

Seriously, will we ba challenged with something new every day? 

I promised myself that I would get everything on the shopping list this week to make life easier then last. I brought my meats from the market Friday afternoon then took them home and went to where I get my groceries from and when I got there I realised that I left the food list at home in the bag that had the meats in them.. So that went out the window.

Then yesterday I went to the local supermarket, even though it was going to be more expensive I wanted to have all the items I needed. There was many items I could not find. I find this very fustrating. I'm not sure with the supermarket or the person writing our shopping list.

I only live 15ks from the CBD.. surely if these shops don't have the items I need some one that lives rural wont be able to find them... Right??

Any way so I got the items I needed and headed home to eat left over BBQ from Saturday nights treat meal.. Why??? Who knows why.. Had my game face stuck in my butt.

To top if off I didn't do SSS.. My leg has been sore from Thursdays killer session. I don't mean like muscle sore get over it.. I mean it feel like I ripped my calf off the bone.. I'll try a light work out tonight and see how it feels tomorrow.

So over all as you can probably tell, I'm annoyed at myself this at the moment. Didn't get enough training in, ate more calories then my mind cares to register and I'm tired!

I know I gotta suck it up, deal with it and move forward...but felt like giving my 3 years old self a chance to voice its self.

How are you feeling going into week 4?

Cheers

Today's thoughts

Hey, weight in Wednesday was awesome for me. Loved loved and loved to see the scales drop. So much so that after I finished work I just wanted to go home and have a nanna nap as I'm feeling exhausted this week but I put my runners on and head straight for the gym before my mind could start playing games. I went hard and long for 30 minutes on03 9092 6540 the treadmill and speeds and incline that I havent done yet and then did 30 minute  on the bike making sure I hit over  11ks and  work at level 4- 6. Boy did that work out hurt. 3 weeks ago I couldnt do more then 15 minutes on the treadmill and now that just a warm up. So proud of me but what keeps me pushing through is seeing the scales drop. You see I have tried so many diets and programs even including this one before and some kind of results was almost impossible and  by week 3 I would have hit plato and would not budge.
I write this to share my excitement but I am still humble in my actions as I know how how hard this is and how easy it is to fall off the wagon. Saying that the inner  voice inside me is acting like a little child you has just lost their first tooth.
So how are you going with your challenge and challenges. Have you learned something's about urself? I would love to hear all about you.
Till next time...
P.s I thought I smashed my workout today but clearly it smashed me!!!

YOU deserve it and so do I

The Sun is shinning and the weather is fine. Perfect to leave work go home get a great book ( what can I read next? Did the 50 shades and Bared to you. Now?) and chill out on a blanket in the back yard in the sun sinking deep into the lives of the people in the books.. Divine :) lol.

Well I'm quick to snap myself out of that day dream and remind myself that I have just eaten my lunch cos I am starving and I am at work and will be for some time. After that I will go get changed and go to the gym and when that is done go past the supermarket and get the rest of the ingredients I couldn't find on the weekend. Cook up dinner, eat clean up and chill out on the couch and watch some mindless TV.

So it does sounds so very boring but I am just doing as Miss M asked, just do and don't think go into Robot mode. I am feeling pretty good that so far I have changed a few habits. Oh I'm not in clear waters yet.. The old ones are still banging and screaming on the glass door,"let me out to play and spiral down your life". But I look away and just get on with it. I say "ït" because I don't like to refer to it as a "task", or "Job" cos then it makes it harder for myself.

I think this 12wbt has really tough me some valuable lessons about myself and like I feel enough of my life is a task, or job that I can't use that name for my training or organise my food or shopping. Silly don't you think? But it's what needs to be done so I'm doing it.

Tomorrow is weigh in day and I almost don't want to see. I pray that it has dropped... SOMETHING, ANYTHING. just for the mind games aspect... Either way. I'll make a promise from now that next weigh in week there will be huge results... I REALLY WANT THIS BAD.

You know like that taste of cake? You take a bite and your think it's divine and it makes you want more? Well my tummy is starting to look smaller and I can feel my legs looking in shape, its making me want more.. I want to feel fit and fabulous.

Common ladies and gents YOU deserve it and so do I

:)

working my ass off

Day 1 week 3 and i have found my fitness to increase by far and I work harder and faster and further.. I really am working my ass off.
But I am also finding the the food is starting to increase also. My excuses for this weekend is that it was my husbands birthday on Friday. We had guest Friday, saturday night and Sunday day and night. Gee am I tired today? It's monday and I have the amazing lasagne in the oven, my work out is done and I can't wait to watch BBrother and Xfactor tonight and chill out and sleep straight after that.

I now totally understand why Miss M tells us to get to bed early. It makes a world of difference in ever aspect of your life. So fustrating when visiters come on a sunday and stay till mdnight. Like ok you might not be working tomorrow but we are... Clearly carefactor is zero. I really should have said I was going to bed, but then I would have felt sorry for my husband whom has been working day and night for 3 weeks straight and when he isnt called out he is dealing with guest.

Got to run dinner is ready

Mondayides

Ok so it's Monday and I do not like this day of the week lol.

So yesterday being fathers day I knew there would be lots of awesome food flying around so I made extra chicken parma on a massive plate with the spinach and tomato around just the recipe. I though if I take enough as a platter then others can eat and I can eat too.. But what happens when my inner animal sees meat on the BBQ calling my name? All these amazing foods also calling my name? And even a scone?

It wasn't looking good for me. I did eat some of the chicken I made but also 2 chops, some potato's ( i didn't have them at lunch cos i knew) and salad and a scone.. That for sure has blown any chance of weight loss for this Wednesday. My inner goddess will be crying knowing all the hard work of eating clean and training hard has gone out the window when she sees the scales come Wednesday morning.

This normally would be a time I normally would start to rethink if I can actually do this, already in 1 week my first red flag day and I failed.. BUT What I have decided to do is have a different mind set. Well I guess I was silly in the past. This is life and a lifestyle, if I don't make myself feel so so bad then I won't get off the wagon so quick. Yes, I did have a slip up and it isn't right but it is ok.

So ( deep breath in  and exhale ) time to be kind to myself and you should be kind to your self too.

Looking forward to this week ahead. Red flag day on Friday as it is my husbands bday. I'm thinking we should celebrate and go out on Saturday so it works well with my free meal. But if for some reason Friday is the day I will swap it with Sat and have a left over frozen meal on Sat.

I'm so happy winter is over :)

Day 5 weight loss

Ok, so just a quick blog, as people are busy but people that exercise and follow an eating plan are really busy people... (As Michelle says)

So far going great, feeling amazing. Thought the pumpkin soup took a lot of time for a week day and I didnt have time to train so yesterday made up for it.

I have had many things go wrong in my life this week but I have not let it bum me out of this. I really really want to do this.. DO IT FOR ME :)

I hope you are also doing IT FOR YOU..

Have a good day all.
