cms keep going down...........

My hard work is really starting to show, finally!!! I hate it when results are slow.

I have been switching things up a bit and doing more weights than cardio last week. I added two circuits instead of a walk, I am also back doing sprints yay!

Unfortunately one thing I have noticed in the past two weeks is my milk supply is not as it once was. I thought by slowly upping my cardio and weights but still eating enough calories I would be ok....not so :( I am having to top up Tyler with formula bottles twice a day as my milk just isn't enough for him. I guess I am one of the unlucky few!

Anywho, I was probably going to stop breastfeeding him by Christmas time so I will keep feeding him as much as I can until then and slowly wean him off.

We had my grandad's funeral yesterday, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I think that since he was in hospital for so long beforehand we had a chance to get all the crying out then. We have a lovely day with the family saying our goodbyes.

Training

Monday - walk 60 mins
Tuesday - cardio circuit, shoulders/bis/tris/abs/chest
Wednesday - off
Thursday - walk 45 mins, quads/glutes/hamstrings/chest/sprints
Friday - walk 60min
Saturday - off
Sunday - stretching

Diet

Diet has still been the same, I had a cheat meal this week as we went out to chinese with the family. I have had no sugar in 1.5 weeks and doing well. I don't crave it anymore.

I have to keep my eyes on the prize....I want my pre-pregnancy body back so bad. End date for my body transformation comp is 22 October so i still have 8 weeks to go!!1

Did measurements this morning and I have lost another cm off my abs and waist, legs are the same.

I have the City to Surf 12km run this weekend and I am excited, hopefully I can run most of it!!!!

Happy Training

Next week HAS to be better.......

My husband's granddad passed away on Wednesday....we knew it was only a matter of time but its still not easy when it happens. Hubby's parents arrive back from europe on Wednesday so we have had to arrange to have the body on ice until they get back. So sad.....

The weather has been pretty crappy all week which has made it hard for me to be motivated and work out. I only missed two workouts this week as I couldn't escape from the house (the downside to being a stay at home mummy). I have no problems doing weights but cardio can be a challenge.....skipping is about all I can do. Thank god the sun is shining again today, I went for a walk with hubby and the doggy. Poor little dog has been getting neglected lately.

On a happier note my sister-in-law just had a baby on Thursday, little Imogen Marie. Very cute and I can't wait for cuddles. They live in the country a couple of hours away so we are waiting until they are home until we go and visit.

Training

Monday - 60min walk
Tuesday - 45min walk/run glutes/hams/abs
Wednesday - off day
Thursday - off day
Friday - 30min walk/run
Saturday - 30min walk shoulder/bi/tri
Sunday - training the girls, boxing, running, weight circuit

Diet

No change, with food.

I had a few days of drinking. Not alot but at least 2 drinks on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. No more till next weekend now!!!!!

Discipline

Discipline is a matter of controlling the mind and choosing the action that is going to benefit you in the long run. By choosing your actions you can choose your results. By choosing your actions you can choose the life you create for yourself. Remember, we all are in control and have the power. Discipline is something that should not be looked at as a burden but as an opportunity to test yourself, grow and experience the power you have of self control and personal self awareness.

It's a sad time......

We have had an awful couple of weeks. My husband's grandad was admitted to hospital with pnemonia and scepticema (spelling???). He is not recovering and they have taken him off all antibiotics and sending him home as there is nothing else they can do and they need the bed :( He is so weak and really not well so we dont expect him to last till the weekend.

My husband's grandmother on his mum's side was also admitted to hospital during the week with a chest infection. She is doing much better and will hopefully be out in the next day or so.

Good news is the weather has been beautiful which is great for my workouts.

I have entered the 12 week Sportzblitz transformation competition which will finish on 22 October. I figured if i am getting my body back in shape I may as well see if I can win something lol

Training

Monday - 50m walk/run
Tuesday - walk and shoulder/bi/tri
Wednesday - off day
Thursday - 60m walk and chest/abs
Friday - 2hr walk
Saturday - off
Sunday - glutes, hamstrings

Diet

I am still doing my low/med/high carb split. Only a 1kg loss on the scales but cm are still going down - great milestone....I fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans woo hoo. They are still a bit tight, (I have never had muffin top) but at least I can do them up and wear them.
