Can I do it? Yes I can!

Well yesterday I was at the gym and had a cardio session.  20mins on the cycle going up and down in tension in 1 minute blocks.  While I was there my PT came up and asked about my eating plan.  I explained I was on a plan that one of the other PT’s had given me and he was mortified and altered it a bit.  From there I went to the cross trainer.  This is now my 2nd time on this machine and it was no easier than the 1st.  I had to get a staff member to talk to me just so I could get through the last 5mins of my 20min session.  I then went on the rower and stretched to cool down.  I was one drowned rat.

I had a quick shower as had to race off and pick Isaiah andhis friend Connor up from Kindy.  Rebecca has the tummy bug so was not well enough to pick him up.  She powered though the morning routine though with her two kids and our two.

The boys played a while and then we got Dayna and dropped Connor home.

Today was going to be messy as we had 3 places to be at the same time.  Dick Smith had a sale on and had a great discount off the IPod Shuffle which is Martin andmy present to each other for Christmas.  We had found out though that Noel Leeming would match it if we got there first thing like 9am.  I had to be in the city at the gym at 9.30am and it is about 30mins from home and we were supposed to go to Paraparaumu for lunch which is 1 hour from home.

We decided to go to catch up with the family for an early tea and I would drop the family off at the mall at 8.45am and they would do the shopping and catch a bus home.  I would go to the gym.  So we kind of had a plan.  But it was all to go to custard.

Isaiah went to bed with a runny bum but woke in the night as had thrown up.  We sorted him out and then Dayna woke and wanted to sleep in our bed.  At 7.30am I woke up and then one by one everyone else did.  Isaiah was sick a number of times.  We realised we just could not get him to go to the mall the way he was feeling.  We had to shuffle things about and hope it would all work out.

I managed to go to Noel Leeming and bought our presents and head to town, which i arrived at 9.27am so just in time for weigh in.  The crazy thing is that when I was at the mall the entrance closest to DSE had a queue right across the car park.  They had started queuing at 6am.  Luckily i knew the secret of the price matching.

Well we all weighed in and all lost but I only had a small loss which annoyed me no end.  I had been working hard I guess it was the slow start to the week from how I felt last week.  We got on and did a workout and I decided to do the weights circuit today.

To start the circuit we have a 20min cardio workout.  I started on the bike.  It was hard my legs were not co operating.  I got through it but hated every minute.  I went to do my circuit.  I had to remember the machines to use and how to use the computer gadget “Fitlinx”.  I like the computer system as it lets you know if you haven’t followed through properly and counts the reps etc.  I spent some of the time looking for the next machine I am to use.  I completed the session and headed back to the mall in hope that I could buy the speakers from DSE that Martin needed.

I found the speakers and then spent 45mins in a queue to pay.  Luckily a couple behind me were talkative.  30mins in the manager came around with a platter of cookies for those in queue.  I declined.  I ran a few more errands and headed home.

Isaiah was lethargic and Dayna is being naughty.  Isaiah has fallen asleep a number of times but has finally asked for some food.  Dayna’s new ear infection must be affecting her hearing as she keeps saying ‘what’ or just ignoring us, which makes it look like she is more disobedient than she has been today.

I suddenly felt angry at the results I got from the gym.  I was angry because my diet has been changed again because it was not suited to me.  Why could I not have been given the correct suitable plan 4 weeks ago.  Also on Wednesday my fitness plan was made for me and is full of more cardio to help with the weight loss and machines to help me tone better and in the places where it matters.  Why have both these been made to suit me now with only 2 weeks to go?  I feel like I am at a disadvantage as 4 weeks of wrong plans.

Martin has mowed the lawns and I have cleaned the house minus the vacuuming, which will happen after tea.  I am yet to go on a 1 hour walk but want the weather to cool a bit as it is stinking hot.  62% humidity and 21degrees although feels hotter.  Good day to have got all our washing dried.  We have changed the kids beds to summer sheets and our bed to summer duvet so have had lots of winter washing.  The Santa parade was on today so good weather but too hot to have stood by watching it.  We did want to go but Isaiah being sick altered that and all our morning plans as well.

When I go for my walk soon I will post all my Christmas cards and deliver some.

Off to the gym again in the morning and a friend’s birthday drinks in the afternoon, health permitting.
