Happy to have hubby home...

My hubby has been away for the week and I missed him terribly. He went over to the Australian Masters to caddy for his friend who is a pro golfer. He said he had a great time but of course missed us terribly.

I kept myself busy all week, with gyming, cleaning and catching up with friends....it was just the nights after I put Tyler to bed that were lonely. I really don't know how other couples manage when one partner works away. Its nice every now and again for a few days to a week but if I had a partner that worked 3 or 4 weeks away at a time..............

I have been LOVE LOVE LOVING the gym the past couple of weeks. It feels so fantastic to be lifting heavy again and having a whole hour and a half to myself :) Tyler is at such a good age where he will go to anyone and doesn't miss me which makes life easier.

Training

Mon - 2 hour walk
Tue - shoulders/bis/abs
Wed - 6 hours of cleaning and washing
Thur - off
Friday - chest/tri
Saturday - 1 hour walk and legs
Sunday - off

Diet

Still much the same as I have been doing the past few months.

Weight is down 2kg and I do measurements in 2 weeks!

Happy training

...

So much for updating more often lol. It has been about 2 weeks whoops!!!!

I have been concentrating on the gym (it is so great being able to pop Tyler into the creche and have 90 mins all to myself lol) and playing with my new phone, checking out all the latest apps to load. I loaded this great app which is a diet/exercise tracker. I have found that I am having to be really strict with my eating and exercising as I am just not seeing the results I want.

I am still carb cycling, but instead of low/med/high, I am eating low carbs for two days one day high carbs. No cheat meals as I find these haven't been helping me at all. Once I get the taste of something sweet I want more so I am better to stay away unless I really really need something.

Little Tyler is still being the most wonderful son, he is rolling around now and almost looks like he could start crawling in the next few weeks. I am not looking forward to that, my house is definitely not baby proof!!!

I feel very naughty not to have kept my blog updated. Sorry :) Time just got away from me and a friend has reminded me to update it more regularly!!!
The past couple of months have flown by, we have been very busy. Tyler keeps me busy enough, he is at the age where he is needing more stimulation. Luckily he loves the pram and going to the shops lol

We went to the Gold coast a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic time. My husband had a work conference so we had a couple of nights of work events. We had a really fun Arabian themed cocktail party. I visited one of the tarot readers they had there and was told that I will be pregnant again in 6 months WTF!!! I said no way she had to be wrong as my little one is only 4 months old…..she told me to be very careful if I didn’t want another one just yet as I am very fertile, yay for me lol So hubby and I now sleep in separate beds, hahahahha na just joking.

We had a ball too which was great fun, lots of dancing and ummm I did the splits on the dance floor. I know I know what was I thinking. At the end of the night we were all doing the drunk dancing circle where one person goes into the middle and does their thing. One guy did the caterpillar another did some push-ups (I could have easily beaten him) so I decided that going in and doing the splits with a bit of arm shaking on the floor was a good idea. Luckily I got the applause and did not pull a hammy :)

We stayed at Jupiters which was a really lovely hotel. They had the best gym I have ever been too at a hotel. It resembled a smallish gym back home. They even had a full time personal trainer on hand and fitness classes!!! Didn’t do a class but did a couple of days of weights, no need for cardio as we did heaps of walking around sightseeing during the day.

We have been back 2 weeks now and back to reality, having to cook and clean again, boo!!!
Anywho, it is good being home and getting back into a routine and being able to prepare my own meals, instead of looking at a menu and thinking what the hell am I going to order!

I am training clients again. We are doing a boot camp at the moment and they are loving it. This Sunday I have 8 or 9 coming so it will be a decent size class. I have ordered some more kick bags and boxing focus mitts to accommodate the growing numbers.

Diet
I have been following my carb cycle: Monday, Thursday Sunday calories are 970 carbs 59g, Tuesday and Friday, calories 1286 carbs 79, Wednesday and Saturday calories 1681 carbs 137.

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.
