ROUND UP

OH MY DAYS............I'll get to this!

This week was kind of a non starter for me again. I'd lost all motivation and knew I had a lot of running around after the kids to do so couldn't really bring myself to use vital energy at the gym! I did however go 3 times this week and am hitting spin class again in the morning so I've not totally slacked off!

So here's my round up:

Monday - I hit it hard! I did my full weights and cardio routine and loved every single second of it! Then I weighed myself saw that I hadn't lost any weight and became rather dispondant.

Tuesday - NO GYM

Wednesday - Super quick hour session focusing more on ABS

Thursday - NO GYM

Friday - PT session and the reason for the "oh my days" she hit me HARD!!!! Killer hamstring and butt workout that was amazing and has totally given me all my motivation back!!!! Did back and shoulders too which at the time didn't feel that awesome but is now starting to hurt 2-3 hours after the event!

Start a New Habit!

SOURCE

One problem I'm having real problems with is making this clean eating lark a "habit". At the minute it's still really hard work for me and I have to really think about what I'm eating and when I'm eating it.
I have however realised in the last month or so that making it a habit is perhaps going to be harder than I thought - I guess I just wanted it to happen naturally and easily! One major thing I've learnt from my weight loss journey is that nothing is easy!

So how do you create a new habit?

The hardest thing I've found about creating a new habit is not working out how to make it stick it's shedding the guilt associated with failing.

So forget the times you've failed and move forward......keep persevering in a years time you'll wonder why it was so difficult!

Results Monday

Humph..........Last week wasn't the greatest week for results in terms of weight loss. In fact I seem to have put on 0.1kg - I'm not sure what that equates to in lbs I'll have to find out.
To say I was annoyed and fed up is an understatement! However I've got to move on and simply make this week better, that is a lot easier said than done.

On another note, yesterday I finally ran/walked the race for life!!!

It was hot and muggy and I didn't take any water round with me, but I actually loved every second of it! I ran more than I walked which was my aim for the day although getting going when there were so many people was quite difficult. 

Needless to say I will be running another one, In fact I'd quite like to do a 10k next April - BRING IT ON!!!!

My gorgeous Little Miss ran 90% of the way with my mum too!!!

Was nice to have a little treat afterwards too !
