My week

Well what a week I have had. It all started on friday night when I had very few hours sleep from my friends going away party. I had a few too many champagnes and had to be up at some ridiculous hour to get up to northam for the beginning of the avon descent. However the lack of sleep had only started!!

So I was the support crew with another one of my OH friends gf for the whole event. The first day was a 60km paddle and the sunday is a 72 km paddle or something very close to this. Well at the first stop they looked really good but from then on the my OH was looking terrible. Each stop he looked progressively worse. Poor thing had been off all week with some nasty bug and had hardly eaten much- or no where near enough for this type of endurance race. He did however manage the first day for his mate who mentally kept him going. Well he was up all night being sick and at about 4am started having chest pain and shortness of breath. We had had no sleep but I just wanted to keep him home so I packed up his things and got him home asap. Thankfully both his parents are doctors and gave him pain killers. Over the next hour or so he got no better so off to the hospital we went. So xrays and ecg and echo latter they diagnosed him with pericarditis- which is inflammation of the heart. He looked terrible but thankfully the pain was controlled once the pain killers had kicked in. I had two sleep over the two nights so I absolutely crashed on Sunday night at 6:30.

So my 100 day challenge did not get to the best start. I would say in that time I would be down about 4 bones. Today was start of phase two so I am going to put in a 100% effort. I did not eat lots in this period- If anything less but some of the not so good choices.

So recapping my goals I did eat bread once in the first phase, I definitely did not blog 4 times, I did do my cardio and missed out one weights session, I did not binge.

So today I started on a really high note and went for 11km run with one of my closest friends. This put me in the mind shape to eat well for the rest of the day.

So my aim for the next phase is to concentrating on not eating bread and getting all my training in.

Will post again soon

I will post a full update tomorrow

I have had a terrible weekend and so much has happened with only 2 hours sleep over 2 nights. I am all ok but am exhausted and must get to sleep this evening. Will post my full update of events and goal trckings tomorrow sometime.

I actually started today!

So the 100 day challenge started today for me! I know I said I was going to start tomorrow but I thought this morning why can't I start today. I have already written down my goals and printed out a chart to tick off on my fridge, so I really could start today. I will however take my photos and measurements as of tomorrow when I have time to take them.

So my goals for each day are:

1. No bread- bread always makes me feel heavy, bloated and just generally yuck so I am going to give it up for the 100days.
2. Minimum 2litres of water day
3. To have protein with every meal
4. To do 3x weight sessions and 4x cardios a week
5. Blog 4 times a week minimum.
6. No binge eating

So today I have achieved all of my goals. I did a 20min run this morning followed by an 1hr athletic pilates this evening. IAs I said I will weigh and do measurements tomorrow and then will not do again for another 10 days.

I am feeling great about this added motivation. I have also given myself some treats if achieve goals along the way. I will post them in the next few days.

100 day challenge

My hundred day challenge will start on Thursday. I have Thursday afternoon off so I will set aside some time to plan, chart, write my goals ect. Feel free to follow other inspiring people by seeing Katie Posts http://thin-enough.blogspot.com/ . She is very inspirational!!

So my other challenge is still continuing this will just add to the motivation and keep me even more on track

My 12 week challenge that I was doing has taken a slight turn with starting from week one again due to be lucky enough to do another challenge with Sue. So I am in a really good frame mind at the moment at at the beginning of week 2. The last week got me thinking and really focussing on my hunger signals and learning to understanding them. I felt really good all week and managed the weekend well.

So I lost 1.9kg in this first week. I know I won't lose this every week but was very impressed by this number.

On other news my finance has been all approved for my house and settlement will be in about 6 weeks. My OH and I are so pleased and we made our first big purchase of leather couches on theweekend. Since Myer was having a fab sale I cleaned up and my kitchen is pretty much set now.

I am house sitting for the next 7 weeks so we will be moving in when I leave here. I adore my parents but it is nice to be independent again. After coming home from london living at home was bliss- mum really does so much for me and takes the stress out of everything. It is about now that I am really ready to leave again though.

So that has been my little update for the last few weeks. Till next week

Well it has been very very busy week because ........

I have bought my first house!!

We had our offer accepted on Tuesday and now going through the processes to get finance approval. We should have no problems there as our finance brocker has been very thorough and he seems to think it will be fairly straight forward. So we have fingers and toes crossed till then. It is my ideal first home. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, double carport, nice court yard and in a location we have been looking in for the last 8 months. We are both very happy.

So besides the emotional ups and downs and stresses of putting in an offer ect ect. I have had a very good week. Training has been spot on. Food has been pretty good. One of my free meals was homemade scones with jam and the other one was homemade chocolate pudding. Besides that I have been spot on. Scales are coming down slowly. I always get to a certain point and then they decrease by a snail pace. I just need to keep being consistent and I know the results will come.

I have 5 weeks till bali so I am super focused on having a hot bod for that and being very comfortable in a bikini. I think I may need a spray tan before I go so I am not so white!

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend.
