2nd wind where are you?
Well yesterday I went to the meeting and it was ok but heaps of questions to be answered. Hope it helps. From there we all went home and I had the 45mins to get the kids fed and Dayna ready to go to her session of Kindy.
Right when you’re in a hurry things get tricky. Dayna wanted to where lip gloss and different clothes she also wanted her hair in plaits, suddenly I am trying to get all this done and then Dayna asks if she can wear her hearing aid to kindy. I am not sure but also thought if she is keen I better go with it. I sent her case with her so if she did take it out if would be put somewhere safe. She did take it out, but it did get home to me. The nice thing was Dayna got offered a ride to and from kindyso that was nice not having to run around.
I prepared dinner and did washing etc so was very boring but Isaiah was happy as he wanted to watch a DVD. The rest of the day and evening went off like normal and I headed off to bed at 9.30pm.
I was up again at 5am and off to the gym. I didn’t feel to bad so i know I have to go to bed at 9.30pm if doing the early start. I got to the gym and got into the normal routine. I was on the treadmill and running like normal doing speed intervals when i thought I had a little more in me so I carried on and at 26minutes I hit 3km. YAHOO. I so wanted to yell with excitement but it meant nothing to anyone else but me.
As I was driving home and then doing to morning routine I felt great so was all fired up and enjoying the challenge. My only concern is the eating as we have been given an alternative way. I have lost 10.6kgs on the old way so know it works and therefore apprehensive of the change and also no carbs after 2.30pm is odd. I grew up eating meat, potato and 2veg and live life like that except replacing the potato with alternative carbs.
Mainly Music was on today so we headed there. It is a Beach Day Theme so we dressed in our togs (yes me included) well I wore my board shorts. I took beach chairs and umbrellas so looked quite good. I good thing was I could fit my shorts and I had a few people comment on how good I looked. I struggle with this though.
Afterwards I had to pick up some groceries and I decided i was going to embrace this new eating style. If I was on Biggest Loser or Downsize Me I would and this is the same just without the cameras. So I bought canned chicken (I don’t like tuna) and vita wheat crackers, porridge sachets lots of veges and am going to try this as of tomorrow as today’s lunch was made and dinner defrosting.
I am sitting here with no energy and am even struggling to type this andjust want to lie on my bed behind me and have a sleep. I need that 2nd wind to get me through the rest of the day. I have clothes behind me to fold as changed from beach wear as cold and gray here. I am wearing a skirt I have worn only once and a couple of tops I fit properly although one is looking like it is nearly to big. bummer as I like it alot.
Right I am out of here to get Dayna and Martin.

Did you get protein for a shake? Often that will give you a bit more energy as well, or at least lessen the feeling of fatigue.
Just remember changing your eating habits wont necessarily show an improvement immediately, I think even on The Biggest Loser some of them began to put on more weight. Just remember your body has to adjust and sometimes when you throw it a few curve balls it takes a while for it to catch up.
Glad you had a good day and managed to achieve everything.
And it must be another small triumph that Dayna wanted to take her hearing aid with her.

Another goal achieved – well done! I wonder if rather than thinking ‘I did 10.6 on my own, why should I change?’ you change your thinking to ‘If I did 10.6 on my own, how much more can I do by changing to a recommended plan?’ And of course it’s the ‘habits’ that we all have to break to make a difference – maybe for some people it’s chocolate (not getting at anyone but myself) and others carbs, but to be able to embrace the change is the hardest part. Don’t I know it???
Like Anita, I’d have thought they’d have suggested something for those ‘hard times’ when you have a lack of energy.

I was sharing the thought process in here. I WAS apprehensive to begin. Like I said I have decided to embrace the change though. They have mentioned Protein Shakes which I just didn’t mention in the blog, but have discussed with Anita via email.
