Wow!!! Since miss 4s birthday on Thursday last week (4 days ago) I've been at the gym 3 times! I don't really want to go on Sundays and Fridays are difficult, but not impossible for me as we have dinner with the in laws. Anyway, since then I've been 3 times, rode and x-trainer(ed) a total of 41.23kms and doubled my target goal of 73kms to 146kms. In those 3 sessions I've burnt a whopping 1496 calories just at the gym......
I've also changed my way of thinking. I now have a smoothie (banana, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, milk and yoghurt) for breakfast which is TOTALLY yummy!!! I'm also making an effort to eat more fruit during the day when I'm hungry, if the kids ask for something to eat between meals I always suggest an apple or banana but if I'm hungry between meals, I ignore it. Not any more. Also, as a family we're eating healthier. We were never a family to eat a lot of fried crap but we would decide that if the kids asked for wet bix for dinner they could have it then we'd have whatever for dinner later. NOT COOL!!!!
My shin splints are on the mend. YEY!!!I'd say they're about 70% better. Hopefully another week then I can get into true training for the City to Surf (12km run). I'm hoping to complete a couple of 5km fun runs too in the next few months but truly, who knows!!!!!!!
Now lets see if this gym work and food re-vamp is reflected on the scales. Mondays will be weigh in days (beginning January 16th) and possibly measures too. I'm a bit scared to do that though!!!!!
Until next time, Ciao!!
