DAY 7

DAILY UPDATE:
Struggled a bit today as I had to fly out and was feeling a bit tired.

MOOD:
Was feeling a bit average in the morning, tried to sleep in but for me that meant getting up at 6:30am. I had done all my training for the week so was planning to relax before flying out, although after sitting around feeling average I decided a run was in order at 8:30am! The sun was out in full force and it was hot, but I needed a run to pick me up. I'm seriously addicted to the endorphins from exercise and after just 35 minutes I came home a different person and was so glad I'd forced myself out.

FOOD:
All packed for my 3 day trip. Had to fly to Sydney (paxing, not working) so had a Salad on board, wasn't as spot on as my usual salad but a pretty good option. Managed to say no to the nuts, wine and ice-cream althouh had to really fight the urge to include a few extras all day.

TRAINING:
Added in an extra jog/walk. Went up my favourite hill, although this time ran to the base, 10 mins, walked up 10 mins and ran home! Hot but fantastic.

WATER: Most probably not quite enough, didn't bring my water bottle on board although had lots of glasses but not as much as I'd normally have.

DRINKS: NONE and that Business class wine looked so nice!

TREATS: NONE.

Overall just glad to make it through Sunday as it was one of those days that just felt a bit harder. I also find it hard when I've got time just hanging in my hotel room as the mini bar calls you.

WEEKLY RAP UP!
Feeling quite proud of myself that I've made it through the week and pretty much achieved all my goals (except for that one extra little cappuccino, he,he).

TRAINING:
4 X WEIGHT
2 X SPRINT SESSION
1 X 5KM RUN
1 X 45 MINUTE STEADY STATE
3 X RPM (1 extra, than planned)
2 X HILL (1 X JOG/WALK)
1 X 50 MIN POWERWALK
* All walking is extra and not planned.

It sounds alot but I pretty much normally do cardio every morning anyway, it's the weights that I've let slip lately so feeling really happy that I got all 4 sessions in.

Really happy with my nutrition although I did notice myself getting a bit more relaxed as the week went on. Portion sizes slowly increased and I was more tempted to pick. Have to keep reminding myself to really be spot on so all my hard work in the gym isn't going to waste. It's also helping keeping my nutrition really simple.

Still having days where I feel great and other days where I don't but just focussing on doing what needs to be done! So onto week two, sticking to the same again.

Have a fabulous week.

Cheers, Hilds

Thanks Kate. Like many people I don't really stuggle too much with my training although it's generally my nutrition and adding in too many extras that lets me down. I love training and when I'm home and have a routine I have no reason not to get out there and train hard. Although it's a bit more tricky when I'm off flying but that's why I just do what I can, when I can!

Hope you're having a great day!
