I am sick
BTW I forgot to post my weight on Monday so my weight was 87.6kg so a 500g loss for the week.
For a few days I have felt something flu like hatching inside. I had a runny nose feeling, so started spraying a nasal spray for early symptoms and my throat felt sore, kind of and I have had a constant headache. Well yesterday afternoon it all hit. I will share more later but promise not to share the germs.
I dropped the kids off yesterday to kindy and day-care and headed into the gym. I was going for a bra fitting straight after as needed a new bra and they suggested a fitting due to the weight loss. Due to this I wanted to have a shower before leaving. I thought our membership included a towel service but found out it didn’t, and I didn’t take one with me. Anyway I did my usual gym routine but was more determined with the time frame to reach the 3kms. I pushed myself by increasing the speed increments. I was nearly at 3kms and at 25minutes I just needed to push, so up I went to a 100m sprint. I completed the 3km in 25mins 10seconds.
You know the shows like Biggest Loser and they are doing the last chance workout and the sweat is spraying off the face well I can do that too. I knew it was a sign of hard work even though disgusting. I did my cool down stretches and was in need of that shower.
I had a bit of a think due to my lack of towel and decided I would wear my clothes into the shower cubicle and use them to dry myself, gross I know, but I had no options. I also took my fresh underwear to dress into so wouldn’t be streaking to the locker. I finished my shower and decided to see how dry I could get on my sweat towel. Well I tell you it was able to dry me and my hair. I was amazed. I got dressed and was out of there.
I went to Au Fait and was fitted into a 14 from 16 and same cup. yahoo. I am getting smaller.
As the day progressed the flu came on stronger and stronger and I now can say with hacking cough confidence I am sick. The crazy thing is I must be healthier in other ways as I don’t feel like I am dying and am keen to go to the gym for a one on one session with the PT. I am grateful though that today is my rest day. Although I have done star jumps and jumping around dancing with Dayna.
Yesterday I started the diet I was given from the gym and was impressed by it and that I didn’t feel hungry, and yet it had foods I wouldn’t normally eat and at times I wouldn’t eat them at.
I had porridge for breakfast, peanut butter sandwich and banana for morning tea, 1/4 cup rice and a salad with ham for lunch, 3 vita weat crackers with canned chicken on it (it said tuna yuck so was allowed to substitute it for the chicken) now this I was not sure about but was pleasantly surprised, a fish fillet and 2 cups of veges for dinner, followed by strawberries and yoghurt.
I weighed myself before bed and weighed 88kg and this morning I weighed 86.7kg so was excited at that. I have tried the menu again today with a few variations so will be interested to see what the scales say. Although these are not official weigh in results.
If you have looked at the radio stations website you will see their scales and the ones I use at home are set differently so on Saturday’s my weight is one thing and Monday’s it is something different again. I will continue believing Monday’s as I have followed that for 12weeks.
I think I will take coldrel to help me sleep tonight so I am fresh for the personal trainer to torture me. lol

Hi, sorry to hear you’re unwell. Don’t push it too much. Your body is being stressed by the increase/change in exercise. If a cold ends up in the chest then you should have a rest. I know it seems harsh when you’ve got goals in mind. But believe me, if you rest then you’ll have a faster recover. If you continue to stress an already stressed body then you’ll only prolong the recovery needed to get well.
Congratulations on the recent weight loss, the confidence in the new eating regime and the smaller bra
