DAY 19, 20, 21 Blog

DAILY UPDATE:
Sorry have been a bit slack on the blogging front, I've been out and about having a great time.

FOOD: Not too bad, really feel like I'm getting a bit complacent though. Nothing really bad slipping in but I just know just not being as spot on stops me from making progress. I'm not too stressed as one of my major goals was to achieve consistency with my nutrition and I feel like I'm doing that. I've been having a fabulous time on the weekends without going overboard but a few extra drinks and an extra treat here and there really does make a huge difference.
Friday night we went out for dinner to use another one of our 2 for 1 deals. I had 3 drinks and a salad (which was very dissapointing. I don't really think mixed lettuce with some chicken thrown on top is a very good salad!) I came home and did some baking which I'd been hanging out to do. I made a carmal coconut slice, oh my god was it good but geez I understand why I don't normally make these things as I was blown away just how much sugar goes into make these things taste so good. I'm packing the leftovers up so Cam can take it to work as I don't need any more sugar overload as it really seems to knock me around.
On Saturday went out for ANOTHER cappa and I had another couple of drinks on Sat night.

So as you can see these few extra things sneaking in are enough to stop me from making progress. I'm not too stressed but it's good to be honest with yourself and acknowledge that even though you might be REALLY good during the week if you let too many extras creep in over the weekend it will stop you from moving forward.

TRAINING:
Friday - 60 minute Jog, felt great and really enjoyed it. I think it was this jog that motivated me to buy my new fancy Garmin watch!

Saturday - RPM - Awesome class, felt like I finally got the right resistance and got the speed right the whole time.
WEIGHTS & SWIM - Cam and I decided to do a quick weights session (so I supersetted my exercises) and head straight to the pool for a few laps. Geez am I bad at swimming!!! It's been years since I've swam and my breathing was all over the place. Anyway I suppose you have to start somewhere, so I'll keep persisting.

Felt absolutley shattered Sat night!

Sunday - Supposed to do WEIGHTS but after 3 hours in the garden I was a tad burnt and feeling a bit average!
(will need to work extra hard next week)

WATER: Heaps, although think I needed more on Sunday as wasn't feeling too flash after being in the sun for so long.

DRINKS: 2 too many over the weekend.

TREATS: Extra Cappa, Cocunut Carmel Slice (or sugar slice!)plus 6 drinks over the weekend.

THIS WEEKS TRAINING:
3 x WEIGHTS (mmm where's the 4th session!)
3 X RPM
1 X 60 MIN RUN
1 X 5KM RUN
1 X TEMPO RUN
1 X HILL WALK
1 X SWIM

WEEKLY RAPUP:
So as you can see I'm not being super strict but I'm SO HAPPY at the moment. Cam and I have found a really nice balance at the moment and enjoying getting into a few more hobbies. We have both bought some mountain bike shoes & swimming goggles, Cam got a GPS for riding outside and getting into some adventure sports and I've got my Garmin Watch and new runners.

So we will be pretty busy finding the time to get out and about as much as we can.

Anyway I'm off to go laugh at Cam try and put his Mountain Bike shoes on while riding his bike and not get stuck in the pedals when he tries to stop!!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Cheers, Hilds
