Feel oh soooo good

I walked to work this morning 5.14km and did it in 55 mins, couldn't do any running with my backpack filled with work clothes, but I managed to burn 346 calories YAY I feel so good, I feel like I have unleashed my inner warrior. I am even thinking of going to the gym today for my strength training workout and then walking home again this afternoon YAY feel sooo good. I have to share something funny though as I was about to get in the shower I left my towel at home so dry off I was kind of doing the hokey pokey dance to wiggle myself dry hahahahaa I was laughing at myself.

I also weighed myself because I know my scales at home are incorrect, but then again they are correct for my husband's weight, it is dead right all the time.... So i tested it on the Tanita Scales and I was 63.7kg and at home I average around 61.5-62kg or 65.5kg, it is never consistent.... So I think the Tanita Scales are correct and I will just use the ones at work until I can afford to get some. Money is just really tight at the moment. I am still going to stick to the meal plans and do what I need to do so I can budget the foods required etc. My body is important to me and I want to feed it nutritious and delicious foods that are good for me I don't want to fill it with rubbish.

Yesterday I smashed it at the gym I worked so hard and managed to burn 322 calories which I know isn't enough because I need to aim for 500 calories, but it is just amazing, it is like a light bulb just went off in my head and said "you can do this, unleash you inner warrior and just do it" and just like that I have this new found energy and love for exercise and look forward to it. I feel addicted to exercise, keep thinking about it, dreaming about it, oh yeah and I am dreaming about food too, mostly about the meal plan and preparation soooo funny!!!

Ok, enough from me, I am at work now, so I better get some work done now.

I'm excited!!!

Just a quick post I know I have already posted today, but I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for my week ahead. I really can't wait to get on that treadmill tomorrow and have a great workout. I have my music and ready to go. If it wasn't too late I would go out now.... I need to rest my back anyway before tomorrow, sore lower back, sooo need to see my osteopath but trying to save money. I will go as soon as I get paid this week me thinks. I had a hot bath with epsom salts and essential oils it was fantastic, soooo relaxing. Read Oxygen Magazine while in the bath. So good to read inspirational and motivational stories. I feel so alive and ready.  I also don't have my son at home so I have more time to myself tonight. I think I will go put on Masterchef and relax. 

Night all, have a great week 7, hope you smash it :) xx

Week 7 all organised :)

I have cooked up my Indian Chickpea soup ready for 4 days of lunches YAY Healthy snacks will be Tamara Valley Yoghurts, fruit and rice cakes.  Looking forward to this week's menu plan, so many yummy things and I feel so happy because I have bought all the ingredients I need so I am armed and ready to go.

Yesterday I did the circut class (outdoors) burned 320 calories, I didn't get around to doing anymore yesterday and today I started cramping (probably PMT) so I decided to rest up today and I will smash it at the gym tomorrow for a big cardio session. I bought the Ministry of Sound Running Trax CD yesterday and imported into my iPhone so I am armed and ready for great music to workout to. I bought the CD so that my hubby can listen to it in the car or cycling.

We have a quiet household right now, we looked after my niece last night and then my son wanted to go home with them tonight to stay the night, soooo cute. He is only 3 years old, and loves his cousin.  Worked out well for us, my tyres are flat and I am waiting for some money to clear in my account so I can buy new tyres... My husband now only has to drop off me and not DJ.  Saves us some time really.  So, I am feeling really relaxed right now, don't have to worry about my son. So, tonight I am going to sort through the washing and get that all organised too and get my lunch all packed up and ready, oh and of course my gym bag!! So can't wait to go for a run tomorrow at the gym.
