Can I do it? Yes I can!

Ok I am bad but not due to healthy lifestyle so much but I have left you stranded with no blog.

This week our life has taken on the regular schedule but not really as we are throwing new things into the mix.  Martin is back at work in the normal hours so we do not have two sets of hands to get the kids sorted.  Also I am trying to be out the door by 8.10am ready for more scheduling changes.  So this is our morning

5.55am Alarm goes off.

6.10am I leave for the gym. There by 6.15am.  I have 3 different routines I do so have something different each time.  1) Full Cardio  2) 20mins cardio and then weight machines  3) Filthy Fifty Circuit

7.00/7.10am Leave gym

7.15am Make lunches

7.25am Jump in shower, have breakfast, get ready

7.50/8.00am Make sure kids are ready, shoes, hats, sunblock, teeth, hair- Dayna, hearing aid – Dayna.  Tidy lounge.

8.10am Leave the house

I used to get the laundry folded and dishes done but can’t fit that in now, so do it when I get home from the drop offs.

While I am at the gym Martin gets ready, gets the kids up and eating breakfast, makes the beds.  If possible starts getting them dressed and has his own breakfast.  He leaves at 7.30am.

It is full on.  Soon I will be dropping Dayna at Kindy at 8.15am and Isaiah at school at 8.30am and I will be at work just before 9.00am.  Hence the trial run now of getting to Kindy by 8.15am.

Anyway due to this and feeling tired from the new routine I have been catching up on other things and the blog has missed out temporarily.  I started to write something yesterday but didn’t get anything finished.

A bonus is we don’t have to do rubbish on Thursdays now as got a bin so that makes it a little easier and that goes out on Fridays.

Anyway I have been to the gym each morning and then early evening go our and do my training.  On Tuesday my head was pounding and I took Panadol but it didn’t clear up so I went for a power walk instead of my run.  Wednesday was a Day off (on a new training guide) I was tired as had a restless night so didn’t go to the gym.  I was going to do the Filthy Fifty so decided to do it from home last night.  Man it really pushes you and makes you work hard and in a tight time frame.  I felt sick afterwards.  It was horrible but I am pleased I did it and didn’t flag it like I could have.  BTW we have most the required equipment at home.  One exercise I couldn’t do which is a jumping chin up one so did 50 star jumps instead.

I have kept to my points this week for food.  I did however have to go to McDonald’s yesterday and I really really really wanted to eat a combo but resisted. yay for me.

Anyway as Monday was the official weigh day and I said I was 80.1kg and so close to the 70’s I weighed again Tuesday just hoping to see that 7 at the start.  Sure enough it was 79.8kg yahoo.  I am there at long last and may it continue.  I decided to try on my old skinny (so to speak) clothes and I now have 2 pairs back inside, one being my very favourite pairs.  I was excited.

Better go and check on Dayna and do some small projects as wanting to make a few gifts for the Kindy teachers from Isaiah.

I have a 50min moderate cycle tonight so that will be nice as another lovely Wellington day.
