BODY MAKE OVER - WEEK 5

Week 5 has been and gone with a real focus on my diet. The alarms for my food have been working really well and am now eating 5 times a day as opposed to maybe twice a day like I was before. I was worried the alarms going off would be a little annoying but surprisingly has become more routine than anything else now and gives me a break from work which is always good when you're doing long hours.


This week, although there has only been a slight decrease in weight loss I've been feeling incredibly frustrated... I'm a very results driven person and as I've been working very hard especially in the diet area and with the training Brendan has been giving me I was expecting to see massive changes with my weight loss and measurements (knowing my body reacts very quickly to change) and sadly that hasn't happened. However, on Friday night I went out to dinner with a friend and decided to try on my "skinny jeans" that I haven't been able to fit into for years and I just slid into them, so was rather confused as to why I wasn't seeing the "numbers".


It's an emotional roller coaster to say the least and hard to stay motivated when you can't SEE the results in a numbers sense. Although fitting into the jeans is a result, seeing the scales and tape measure read a smaller number is a result I can relate to... 


The amazing thing is, that when I started feeling demotivated and frustrated, I was able to text Brendan and tell him how I was feeling and he called me straight away. Even though it was the weekend and he was away with his wife in Toowoomba, we talked it out and he kept me focused... It's so great to have that support, knowing I can call on him anytime throughout this journey. 


So week 6 starts this week, and I'm determined to amp it up!

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski...

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect fo...
