YEEEEHAAAA :)

11km run - 55min 39secs

But first...What a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!! Woke up bright and early yesterday morning and met my two training partners for a nice long run. We did 1hr 05mins in light drizzly rain, and felt great. Bummed around all day doing things like shopping, bitz and pieces of work, then I had to go back in the afternoon to take some clients out running hills. I did another 35mins yesterday afternoon. Was thinking about the lovely Rae all day and how her comp was going.

Went out for dinner last nite with OH, and enjoyed one drink :) Early nite as I had to get up again and cheer on my teams in the Duathlon comp this morning. They all did great, as they always do :) I had to come back home and nap, lil bit tired and my hammies are quite tight from all the running lately. Woke up and psyched myself up for the 11km club run this afternoon. My goal (after last week's 10km time) was to get in under an hour, as there were 2 steady long incline hills to conquer. For some reason, my handicap is 11min 33sec... that's like WAYYY to good for me!! My run partner who I bust my butt to keep up with is handicapped at 6min 33secs... somethings gone wrong in the system there!! So I was out running by myself, not sure if that is a good or bad thing!! The hills KILLED, but I had no intention of ever stopping - by the time I got to the top, my heart was jumping out of my chest, and I was sure I would be emptying the contents of my stomache... ewww, but next minute it was down hill again, and all the pains were gone! Flew it home to make that time, which I'm SOOO happy with. That's just over 5min kms, yay all my training is paying off.

Flew home to hop on here to see that Rae won her comp!! YEEEEHAAA!!! HUGE CONGRATS TO RAE!! I've followed her journey for a long time now, and am so excited for her!!

Well that's my weekend gone by, all too fast again :) Hope everyone has a great week!!!
Selina

Hump day!!

Love Wednesdays, it's my "admin" day so I don't usually book in any clients, which means it's the only day of the week I DON'T have to start at 5.30am. It is nice to have that break in the middle :) Lots to do today, staff training :) I now have another female trainer, which takes the pressure off me a lil bit :)
Yesterday I trained back and bis, then did 25mins interval training on the tready. Didn't absolutely bust myself as I had a netball game last nite. We won! Eats were perfect as well!
Tonite is run nite!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, speaking of running, I haven't received "THE" call to say my new shoes are in :( Nevermind, I have another 4 pairs (yes I'm serious) to keep me going!!
My OH went for a new job yesterday, and he was hired on the spot. He'll now be doing field service, meaning out at the mines for days at a time. GRRR. Not that we see each other that much as it is due to our totally different commitments, but that makes the available time even less. Ah well, I said to him, at least it's less time to argue!! ;) hee hee
That's it for now, just a quickie. Will catch up on everyone else's lives later in the week.
Enjoy the rest of it!!!

Monday again!!!

10km run - 53min 29secs

Was quite happy with that, it hurt, and I actually thought of possibly only doing the 5km course, but thought "you sook, you'll feel better once it's done". In the last km, thought I was on track for a PB, then realised I wasn't quite sure what my PB was... Nevermind, I missed it anyway! It felt good all the same. I haven't done alot of "official" 10km runs, I usually just run based on time (ie a one hour run) rather than distance, so it's good to gauge where I'm at.
A few of us going in the half marathon in August have officially planned our training early Saturday mornings. It's going to kill me, but better to do it now than on race day! I'm slowly building up my distances, which can only be done on weekends due to work, but my goal is to survive the half, I'm not planning on a record time or anything!
Oh, I ordered some new shoes on saturday!!! I just can't stop spending money *blush*. No shoe stores stock my size however, 7 is the smallest (how prejudiced!!!), so I've ordered in a 6 to try. Some Asics Kayanos, got them for a bargain :) Quite excited about that!!

I'm feeling great today, not at all tired which is strange for a Monday morning! Had a few issues getting to sleep last nite (as usual) but probably managed 6 hours before I started getting unsettled....checked the time it was 4.11am. Damn that. Drifted in and out before the alarm went off at 5.05am. I've been fluffing around on the computer here, when I'm sposed to be at gym now... NAUGHTY!!! Monday is usually a big day at work so I use it as my rest day, but due to a few cancellations, I might get there this afternoon anyway :)

I'm feeling highly elevated and motivated at the moment!! That's what running does to me, I feel great having a goal (can't forget the new purchase either hehe), and just loving it at the moment. Reading about other people's runs etc also gets me excited to plod on!!

OHHH good news!! I have someone coming in for a "chat" today for employment!!! I'm soooo excited. Advertising is useless as I have previously discovered, I've briefly met this girl and she's just completed her Cert IV at AIF, same as all us trainers here, and she called me last nite!! That's even better as I know she's keen, I didn't have to call her! *Fingers crossed* all goes well, I can really need the help on the shifts I can't cover/the other two boys can't do. We're quite busy!! (Says me as I'm blogging....)

Well best be off, drag myself away from this computer, it's one of those days where there's so much to do, but where to start!
Have a great week!!!!!

Ahhh Sunday :)

Oh my lordy, I just spent a very long time trying to upload a pic of my mummy, said it was done...BUT WHERE IS IT HUH!?!?!?!? grrr I really really hate these things *spits dummy*
AAANNNYYYWWAAYYYY
A big HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to my wonderful mum and all the other mother's out there!! She’s out with my dad at the moment for a special luncheon that his work has put on for them today. Tonight we’ll be doing dinner altogether :)
It’s been a long time between posts for me, I've been reading everyone else's regularly, coz i just can't stay away!!!!! I got back into weight training this week, being the first one in three weeks coz of my holiday and sheer laziness, since completing my first 12 week prog with Sue. Well I don’t know what on earth Sue has against my bum, but she’s made it really really really OUCH!!!! Hee hee. OH and my chest... well lucky I only got a small amount of groceries, coz it really hurt to push the trolley... I was totally expecting the soreness all over my body, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was soooo naughty and stayed in bed yesterday (Saturday) morning and missed my run training – of which I planned about an hour run - but it was raining, and my legs were heaps sore – excuses I know. I planned to meet some clients yesterday afternoon for hill training, so as my ‘punishment’, I did double the course and the hardest hills, and 1hour and 5 mins later I was cactus! Quite happy though, as I still got in my longer run, it was just a harder than planned! But I really do love hills!!
I’ve actually had NOTHING on today , it’s one of those tracky daks and ugg boot days. I’ve read some of my book, and for the last few hours have been working on client files and all the behind-the-scenes stuff. My OH is working all weekend, yet another one where we get to spend a total of about 5 hours all weekend together. I have a 10km comp run on this arvo then straight to netball training for an hour and a half, what a great way to spend Sunday! Ha!
Beki – thanks for stopping by!! Will send you an email :)
Wish I had something more exciting to write, but that's my boring, simple life!!!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, well what's left of it!
Will be back during week :)
SeLiNa
xoxoxo

That's me and Jenny H!!
The first thing I noticed was how tiny she is!! (Yes I know, I'm a short-a$$ too!)
Yet another highlight of FILEX!!

I'm pretty buggered today. Had a girlie nite last nite, all the other halves were left at home and the three of us went for dinner. One of them has only recently announced that she's pregnant so that's our exciting news at the moment!! :) I'm really starting to feel 'out of it'. My only two friends left here are married with bubbys or expecting, even my younger sis is jumping on the wagon! EEEEK! It's just not what I want for now though :) Especially when comparing their hubbys' latest wrong-doings, and comparing pregnancy stories!!
Anyway that was an 11pm finish and I had to get to sleep fast for my big club run this morning. Set my alarm for 5.30am, but went back to sleep... i NEVER do that!! Thank goodness my lift called me at 5.45am to ensure I was going to be ready... so I had a quick wake-me-up shower, shovelled some porridge down, and I was pretty much outta there. We had to travel a good 30mins to get to where it started, but made it in great time.
It was a 28km club championship, but my running friend and her hubby (yet another one) and I did a team event. I did the first 12kms (1hr, 2mins 10secs), then Tanya took off for 8kms, then her hubby in his first ever run did a good 8kms as well :) The winner came in in something stoopid like 1hr 40mins!! Another friend holds the course record of 1hr 21mins... Like is that seriously possible to run that fast!! LoL Some people hog all the talent :P
so needless to say after a late nite, then running 12kms on a sunday morning, i went home for a kip. Just hanging out now till netball training this evening at 5.30pm - 7.00pm, it's really the last thing I feel like doing!
Well that's it, gotta get prepared for work before my mammoth 14hour day tomorrow. It's soooo busy, I only have one spare appointment left in the WHOLE day!! (take away my two hours to do ME training, plus a half hour elsewhere to eat).
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

A few pics :)

Well that's a couple of pics from my Sydney trip. First one is at the expo at the EAS stand with Aaron Ferguson and his transformation pics in the background. Second one is out for drinks and dinner with the EAS crew. Gotta love the stunned teenager look on my face! It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

baaaaaack

It's been a whole long week nearly since my last post. I've kinda been avoiding it I guess after my whinge, didn't wanna sound like a whiner allll the time!
Last time round I forgot to address the lovely comments that were left. Ta to all the new names who've dropped in lately :)
Chontelle - nice to meet you. I've checked out your blog too! I'll be adding you to my faves :)
Jodi - HELLO!! I know exactly who you are! Small world eh. Never would have thought I'd find another person from Mackay on here! So do you have a blog yourself?!
Suzi - hello and thanks for dropping in!! I'll be popping by your blog as well to see how you're doing!!
HIlds - have you got any pics yet that we can take a peek at?!?! Would love to see how you finished up. Hang in there for your last 2 weeks tho... they should be just about up now right?!
Shar - ARGH!! She still haunts me!! LoL Just kidding, I'm happy you're still harassing me, when I fall, I fall hard, but I always climb back up again. Negative Selina usually gets kicked in the butt my Positive Selina, although I do miss your butt kicks as well!! I'm still checking your blog out, glad to see you're doing well :)
Lauren - yep, I always was planning to do another prog, it's just been this in-between phase where I've gone off the rails!! I'm starting again on Monday 8th, and so can't wait. Being so care-free with my food especially when away has left me feeling so Bleugh that I can wait to feel YIPEE again!!

I've started running again this week, OHHH if anyone gets the Runners World mag, i'm in there!! heheheeee Not coz I"ve done anything great tho, just in a promo ad for the "Run the Great Whitsunday Walk". It's a 28km run in September and now coz I feature in all the fliers for it I'm thinking I'd better run it!! I've had someone ask me if i'll run for their company and they'll sponsor me, so I've got no excuses!!

I got nothing much to say, just been checking everyone's blogs. I'm having trouble leaving comments on some, prolly the puter I'm on, very tempermental.

I'm starting a brand new fresh 12 weeks (as I mentioned above to Lauren) and I can't wait to get back on track.
HILARY - if you read, to answer your question, yes it's this Monday 8th! Let's do it together :)

Betta run, got a bit of sleep to have, got an early morning run planned before heading into work for a few hours of catch-up. If I remember I'll take my camera in as i STILL haven't loaded those pics of the fun I had in Sydney!!

Tootaloooooo

?!%^&(*&@

HMMM, not liking me lately. I still have not gotten back on track since I finished my 12 week prog TWO weeks ago. I feel gross, fat, and yuk, and no crap here, my clothes are tighter again. Like what the?! In TWO weeks...geez i musta been worse than I thought. And also the horrid scales are reading right up again. I am going through what I remember TRACEY D saying - a puffer fish phase :( I feel SOOO horrible, so yuk, like I have no direction at the moment. I don't want to spiral out of control, I have to regain that OOMPH i had before. All the things that I never touched before are now so appealing and "one won't hurt"...right!? Well certainly not, ONE IS HURTING.
I've realised I really really need a strict goal to set myself. It's almost like being happy with my bod isn't reason enough for me anymore. Well I had the big photo shoot to aim for before, that was like IT for me. Now what?! I want to feel daily the satisfaction and passion for my goals like I read in Sue's, Rae's and Jadey's blogs as they prepare for their comps. I need to have a big huge goal like that to strive for, that failing or little slip-ups aren't an option coz too much depends on it.
Suggestions anyone?! I HAVE to get over this silly phase, it happens regularly it feels, then later I wonder what I was being so stoopid about.

Other than sulking I have not much to report, sadly. Worked all morning, going on a road trip tomorrow up to Airlie Beach (1.5hrs away) with my boyf, my bestie, her hubby and my gorgeous lil goddaughter. Should be fun!

I just tried to upload the pics from last weekend, but it didn't happen so have to wait till Tuesday when I'm back at work, coz if any non-QLDers didn't already know... we have monday off!!!!! YIPEEE!! Not to rub your nose in it or anything ;P

Anywho, im outtie, enjoy your sundays :)

I'm BAAAAACK!!!!!!!!

I had the bestestestest time eva!!!!! I SOOOO love Sydney :) Filex was AWESOME!!! The lecture/seminar part was fantastic for updating/refreshing knowledge, and learning new tricks. I took in sooo much info in the three days, it was well worth it. The expo...well that was like Disneyland!! So many samples...in fact I'm never ever ever gonna eat a protein bar again. I was so carried away in my lunch breaks in the expo, that I didn't get time to run and grab something to eat before the next seminar, so the freebie samples were my "staple" diet those days.
I met a few of my buddies from the sportzblitz forum - Kerryn (Kek) and Jay. Kerryn and I did lots of workshops together and it was like we'd always known each other. It was great to hang out with someone! Jay was a sweetie - he won the Ironman bodyblitz grand champion title, and it a very smart boy!
I was flabbergasted to meet Jen Hendershott - she gave me a hug like she'd known me forever!! She was soooo lovely. I saw on stage Rosa Maria Romero, I wanna be like her when I grow up. I met Aaron Ferguson (Body For Life grand champion and millionaire!!) and went for drinks on Saturday nite with the EAS crew. He is GORGEOUS. I almost couldn't speak, I was tongue-tied. He is really sweet as well, and he gave me a kiss good-bye!! I almost couldn't bring myself to wash my face LoL! I have phtographic evidence of all these meetings of course, but have no battery left at the moment in the camera, it had a workout!
That's not even mentioning the 2.5days I had for pleasure... shopping, oh the shopping!!!!
IT WAS SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on next year's!! hehe
Better run do some work.............. I'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Introducing..........MY LEGS!!! lol

As you can probably see, yesterday I received my 2nd CD of pics from my photo shoot on Saturday!! I now have a total of 200 pics.. damn good value for $130!!! There will be pics to come now forever... hehe. Well they make my boring blog a lil more colourful, and I've run out of shots of my goddaughter, so my body bitz it is!!!
I’m off to Sydney first flight tomorrow so early morning!!!! My mum and sis are coming along, and are like “We have to be up sooo early, like 4.15am” and they’re stressed. I’m like “Yea no worries, that’s a normal start for me!!” hehe. I have to finish off here, I’m leaving the place in the hands of my two boys that work here…hmm that could be scary! J/K, they’ve done an awesome job when I’ve been away before, so I have every faith.
I have to get home and pack…. I’m a bit scared!! A QLD gal going to Sydney in April – what is one to expect!!! So I’ve got warmish clothes as well as alll the exercise stuff I’m going to need for FILEX. A gal can never have too many changes of exercise gear! I’m soooo excited, it’s gonna be sooo much fun!! 3 full days of fitness exhibitions, lectures, displays and hopefully samples!!!
Everyone have a fantastic week!! I'll be back to check up on everyone next Wednesday!!
SeLiNa *Big Waves* xoxo

Couple more pics, just in case you haven't seen any! hee hee

We went to the beach after my shoot to get a few pics, it was SOOO windy and the sand was sticking to my body oil!! Here's one all the same :)


Another pose from the professional photo shoot. Did I mention that i had SOOO much fun!!! ;)

Three days till I'm off to Sydney!!

Still can't believe that I'm off on Thursday. It really didn't register how close it was! I've had a busy long weekend, I'm at work at the moment. Lots to do before I fly out, from past holidays, it's always double the time to catch up on what I couldn't do when I was away. I came in here 7.30am this morning to get the BAS done, of course this month of all months there had to be errors. I had clients from 8.30-11.30 and they were all impeccable over easter, not eating any chocolate (I thought only people like Sue and Rae did that!!) I must be teaching them well, didn't dare tell them of my chocolate accidents!!
I've just finished doing up my 'essay' for the bodyblitz and Sue's New You comps, so that's another job to tick off the list. I just have to get my piccies printed onto paper (hopefully tomorrow I will get the next 100 or so of them... lol just to make sure i have what i think are the best ones) then I can send it off in time.
I gotta sort out all my FILEX stuff this arvo, make sure I know what's going on, get my air tix in order rah rah rah. I'm pretty busy with clients Tuesday and Wednesday so don't know when I'll be packing! First flight out at 6am on Thursday morning! Man, life has been hectic lately!!
Thanks Ali, Mandy, Jadey for popping in to my blog! I will add you to my list WHEN i can work it out again :) And Hilary, Sue, Sharleen and Rae ta for your nice words as always.
Will catch up with everyone another time (I'm still so selfish). I'ts nearly 3.30...I've been here all day!!!!!
SSEELLIINNAA

MERRY EASTER!!! :)

Hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC day!!!! The Easter Bunny somehow got past that damn rabbit trap, as there appeared to be eggs everywhere in the house today. I am not eating any today, not after yesterday, I felt soooo gross, don't want to feel that bad again!
I was up at 6am to prepare for my 5km race. Prep went OK I felt, lots of water, good oats and cottage cheese and maple syrup... and I loved every bit of it. I've been a bit "nervy" as I always do before a big race and was still well acquainted with the loo this morning. That'll learn me for eating crap yesterday!
I took off in a great hurry, my first KM was extremely fast for me so thought I'd better settle a bit. I was going great guns, was in the lead pack till about 3.5kms. I got a tiny lil stitch which, within a minute was a massive stomache cramp, and I could hardly breathe. My stomache was rock hard, it was that cramped. I had to walk, I NEVER EVER EVER walk. I was in so much pain I was in tears, and it was very humbling to have many many people run past me. I'd start to jog again, then was reduced to a walk, this happened about 5 times no joke. It was the first time I've ever wished for the emergency cars to come past and collect me, but there was no way, I was going to finish. The other girls in my age group ran straight past me, my clients ran past me, it was very demoralising but it just wasn't my day. I finished the race in tears qnd quite distressed and the ambos assisted me. Apparently a few people struggled with cramping and heat exhaustion during the course of the morning, so at least I wasn't the only sook! I sat and was treated with ice... my calves, quads, even my jaw (from crying I guess) had all cramped up.
One of my clients received gold in his age group and 9th overall in a cracking time, but he didn't stay for the presentation so I went up to get his medal on behalf of him, and where there they happened to read out the next awards... turns out I got bronze for my age group female 18-39yrs!!!!!!!! I was absolutely shocked, as everyone noted on my face!! So I went back to my seat with two medals. Believe it or not, my time was still under 25mins... 24min 58secs. God only knows what I could have done had I not had to walk. I am just soooo stoked. I was 17th overall in a field of 35, so I'm so happy considering all *big smiles* Aren't I such a drama queen!
One of our local "legend" runners noted the followin... in his words "You were putting on a bit of weight there and I could see it affected your running style. Now you've trimmed down again, you're running well and looking fit". HEHE So it has all finally come together. Fat loss = fitter and faster. Couldn't ask for me. Anyway gotta run, I'm in at work, got the big family lunch to rush home for. Might be back later.........
BE GOOD!!!! tootaloooooooooooo
SELINA

And a sheepish....just oooone more...

Well I thought I'd better give the good with the bad. Only a handful of people have seen my "before" shots. For obvious reasons... ICK. Thought it would be nice to show where I started. And well with the other I'm attempting a pose. I was the worst "model" i think my camera man has ever come across!!! hehe Oh and scuse the tag hanging out of my swimmers... we noticed after many, many pics... see definitely not a natural!!!



So now what?!?! I've been living for today, everything has been for Easter Saturday... THE DAY. I feel strange now, empty, like... what's next?! That's something I will be in touch with Sue about :) I havent looked past today so much so that i "forgot" I'm heading to Sydney on Thursday for the FILEX convention!! LoL My mum and sis are coming along as well... she's getting married in September, so they'll do wedding stuff while I do fitness stuff, which suits me fine!! We also have just over 2 days for pleasure stuff as well when I'm not "working". Whole trip is a business tax deduction though ;) .. Gotta love that!!
I also "forgot" that tomorrow I am in a 5 km race. We here in Mackay are hosting the Suncorp Nth Qld Games this weekend and I'm racing in the morning. Not ideal training prep being on a depletion diet, but hey, I'll give it my best shot. They requested a blurb on me in case I come in a good position and asked my goal time... well I was aiming for a PB, but with lack of specific training 25mins would be a god-send, not exactly a 'gold-class' performance however!! But finishing my 12 weeks was my number 1 priority, and I have no regrets.
Me and my boy planned a nice meal today, but you know after my photo shoot, I really wasn't craving anything. He wanted resturant-style eating, I wanted a salad bar to have a wrap or something!! What i really really wanted was oats and cottage chees and maple syrup. He was not impressed so I didn't push that one!! I ended up with sushi and an ice-cream from Cold Rock. I really wasn't missing out on much. Oh plus the lil chocolates that have appeared in the house... and the... LOL So, i've eaten a few things "bad" today, but I've paid for it. Me and the loo have become quite friendly this evening *sighs* My stomach is telling me something.. Anyway I'll be all good again tomorrow, feeling how I felt today far outweighs how good ANYTHING tastes. I will continue to fuel my body for performance, not for pleasure, coz I know how much better i really do perform!! IN THE GYM AND IN MY SPORTS THAT IS!!! In case minds were in gutter :P
Speaking of which, once these last pics have uploaded, I better get to bed for a good sleep for my run tomorrow. :) I just finished munching on an apple... YUM And sharleen, you can't get up me for more than one piece of fruit today.. HEHE!!! ;)
Till tomorrow when I will present my "Speech"....
SELINA (the new one!!! hee hee) XOXOXOX

OK I can't help myself... a few more

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME ME MEEEEEEEEE TODAY!! lol

Well here's a "fun" shot, I can't remember this one being taken!! Being a dag tensing up, but he 'captured the moment' lol
And one of my fave upper torso shots.

HERE THEY ARE!!!!

OK Here's me as of this morning!! I have a million pics to choose from and ended up picking two of the same poses!! WOOPS! Anyway took me 40mins to upload (very very slow and old puter) so I ain't changing it!!!
Can you believe I had the darkest spray tan possible, and two coats... Hate to see the real me, you would need your sunnies on!!! lol
THANK YOU SUE AND SHARLEEN!!!!!!!!

FINISHED!!!!!!!!!

I HAD SOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN TODAY!!!!!!!!!! The photo shoot was just awesome!! I didn't have much sleep, the wine sent me over the edge right away, then I had a bit of an upset stomache, but that was prolly just nerves as well!! I was up with the sun, and tried to make myself look and feel decent.
Had another wine at 8.30am, it felt so wrong, but at least it calmed my nerves!! Went straight to "The Shoot" and well let me say I'm def not a natural poser, I was stiff as a board, but he made me feel better. I was there for nearly 2 hours!! It was great fun, I even had an audience with my mum, sis and other half to 'assist'.
Anyway enough of that... I'll try and attach a few pics. I got one CD with 100 pics, but not all of them are on there, he must have forgot to copy about half of them, so I'll be right onto him first thing Tuesday morning.
Here goes...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I can't post pics at the moment. I'm OVER having computer issues!!! I was at home but my home puter couldn't read the CD with the photos (it's very old), so I drove to boys house, and now still no go. I'm def not going into work now, maybe tomorrow :(
Sorry.....

I HATE BEING PUTER ILLITERATE!!!!!!

I have been here stuffing around for nearly two hours on this damn piece of machinery!!!!!!!!! FRUSTRATED!!
I'm trying to add the blogs I read, for some that's a simple task, but for me.... *shrugs*
I have listed all the blogs exactly the same way, but only half of them show up!! *BIG SIGHS* So to those I haven't listed, I will work it out. At least time is flying past, must keep busy today, I've only just eaten my second serving of fish today, oops, was 4 hours after my first so that's OK.
I had my spray tan last nite (obviously nowhere open today) then tried to stay up late so I could sleep in and make this day go faster, but no, I was sleepy by 9pm but held on and read till 10pm ish then crashed. Silly me didn't turn my alarm off from yesterday, so it beep beeped me outta my dreams at 5.30am. YUK. Never really got back into a decent sleep after that so got up at 7.30am and had my final supper of sweet potato. I love that stuff :) Rest of the day just protein... till tonite!! I GET A GLASS OF RED WINE!!! And I'm making a big deal out of it, my OH is gonna have it with me. JUST ONE for me tho :(. It's soooo hard today to pace myself with the one litre of water I'm allowed. Especially after the week of trying for 6each day, I must admit I was only getting 5 in, but my bladder still wasn't impressed!
Anyway I jumped on the scales this morning, just to have a lil look and I nearly died. I've been telling Shar that I'd love to see what 47kgs looks like on the scales, my lowest has been 48.2. Welllll today it went to 46.8kgs! So after all that I still haven't seen 47kgs. LoL ;) I'm well aware that reading is attributed to the depletion diet I'm suffering through, but hey, ill take it!!
Well that's prolly it, cleaned my car, might read more book, just hang out till my wine then go to bed nice and early so I can be organised nice and early in the morning to look as good as I can when feeling as crap as I am!! Heheh actually other than the first few days when I was a bit ill, I'm surprised at how I've been, a few wall hits but just keep on keeping on.
Till tomorrow.................THE DAY.......................... TOOTALOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'M FEELING HEAPS BETTER!!

Well, I made myself eat some fish and beans and off to the gym I went (I don't train at my own studio, I need a mental break most days). I asked the owner if I could try his body fat scales (The fat-ometer as I prefer to call it!!) just to see the differences with my handheld one.
Well he was quite impressed with all my readings!!!!! I was so excited. We don't chat on a regular basis, if at all, but he said I have def changed since training consistently. he said I look "harder" and "more athletic" WHOOPPPEEE!!! He also mentioned that another girl he trains said something about "looking like her" meaning ME... i mean ME!! Isn't it funny, in your own skin there's so much more work to be done, you focus on the parts that aren't up to your standards, yet others see you as being fine, and what they strive to achieve.
As far as Im concerned, in my clothes, yes there's a def improvement, but put me in those swimmers, its still scary!! *Fingers crossed* that my final pics are OK. I'm a bit worried.
Better go have more food, I've got an appetite, I must be gettin better. However, I'm never ever EVER gonna eat another chicken breast again. ERGHHH

Well, I'm into day 3 of depletion week, and all hasn't been well. I have been a bit sick... not physically ill, just "off". Since Sunday, I haven't been eating much, the thought of food makes me wanna throw up, and even water tastes gross. Good timing eh, just when all I'm allowed is chicken and beans/broccoli! Unfortunately I haven't really worked out since Saturday (which was the first of the high rep training which was different!). I've been sleeping SOOOOO much, between clients, and even had to cancel some sessions last nite and was in bed at 8pm and crashed through till 5.30am this morning. I am gonna attempt the next work-out in a few hours. My only issue is that I am feeling weak coz of lack of eating! I will make it though, just have to hang in there. Tomorrow I start carb loading so this alone should make me feel better :) Oh must add that my stomache has never been this flat in a long time!!!! hehehe Just the wrong way to go about it tho... :(
Well that's my measly update, not at all exciting :) Will catch up on everyone else's blog later this week!! Tootalooooooooooooo
