Vegan Week
From next Friday, I’m going to have a strictly vegan week. I’m a pretty regular meat-eating, cheese loving person but I had the sudden urge to see how a vegan diet would make me feel physically and mentally. It might be a bit hard but I’m pretty creative when it comes to food so it definitely won’t be boring food - I will just have trouble adapting to life without dairy. It...

Weigh-in 17 Feb 2012
This morning I expected to gain weight. I didn’t want to, but I told myself to face reality and accept it and work hard to change it.
Well I actually lost weight! I’m now 85.9kg (189lbs so I’m finally out of the 190’s!). So that’s a total loss of 2.6kg since Jan 6th which seems so small… But it’s better than nothing at all. That’s almost 6lbs.

I hate the way my mind works sometimes
I start well. I’m full of motivation and I’m determined to fulfill my goals. I have a plan, I’m disciplined. I remind myself every moment why I’m doing this. I fight through pain, I reward my perseverance with healthy food and lots of water. I feel good, I feel strong, I feel healthy and full of life.
So why does my mind feel the need to sabotage me?
I have to fight...

Not feeling well today!
Late last night I started feeling a bit rough and this morning wasn’t any better so I went to the doctors and I have a mild tummy bug but nothing terribly debilitating. So no work for me, I just did some shopping and prep for tomorrow and just before I made Nutella Panna Cotta… it’s currently setting in the fridge in two beautiful glasses that I also acquired today. I put the...

Dinner Tonight
Beau is making snapper fillets! This is basically the only thing he can cook but that’s okay. I’m looking forward to it :)
I’m also looking forward to kicking my ass tomorrow. I can feel myself slip into laziness… I can’t let that happen! I really wish all the food-related social things would fuck off though, there’s always something!

Grill'd for Dinner
We’ve been invited to dinner with some friends and the general consensus was Grill’d. I LOVE GRILL’D. Their burgers are pretty good, I love how fresh everything is. I reckon if I choose any of their burgers it will be a great dinner and I will just pass on the chips (I ALWAYS pass on the chips because serving sizes are insane).

Weekend Yay
I tell ya, this week was kinda crap. I didn’t get much working out in probably because I was so sore from Tuesday’s PT session. I haven’t felt that sore and crap before argh! Anyway, I also had vocal lessons start again and last night we went to the Multicultural Festival in the city… LOTS of delicious food (waffles with ice cream and fresh strawberries anyone?) Anyway,...

No more group active :(
Well term one of vocal lessons starts today which means no more group active! Unfortunately we negotiated lesson times last year but I’ll talk to her and see if we can move it to another day. I really love group active because I get the best cardio and weight lifting sesh ever!
There’s one on Saturday mornings as well but Saturday will be my regular PT day. Too many things!
Oh yes...

Today
There’s not much to report today, I’m still aching from my workout yesterday. It’s funny, I keep getting mixed responses about puking during a workout. Some people say its good, others say you shouldn’t be pushing that hard. I guess it depends on the person. My PT likes pushing himself to that point, I really REALLY dislike vomiting and I try everything to avoid it. But I...

Workout 07/02/12
My workout today was seriously hard. I actually puked. Never thought that would happen!
My warm-up was 5 mins on the treadmill then three sets with the resistance bands (lat pulls, bent-over rows, shrugs), russian twists and kettlebell swings.
Then the actual workout was a circuit where I had to do 1 minute each of kettlebell swings, russian twists, bent-over rows with a barbell, throws with a...

Off to PT
I have a bit of shark week “bleh” going on but hopefully after an hour of intense butt-kicking and sweating an ocean I’ll feel better.
