BODY MAKE OVER CHALLENGE


Well it's been a few weeks since my last blog and of course the new medication for my underactive thyroid and as per usual some upsets to my routine with weather and family visiting.

Last week I didn't do any training at all with Brendan, but still managed to go walking every day including a long 2 hour walk today along the beach which was fantastic considering the weather has kept me inside for the majority of the past week.

My last training session with Brendan was Tuesday of last week was one of the hardest so far and in the gym, still focusing on strength training.

I definitely enjoy working my legs, and as you can see from the below pic, results are starting to show and i'm rocking i'm killer pins - even if i do say so myself - so it's been really encouraging to finally start to see some results, albeit slow.


My biggest challenge, which i'm fully aware of is still my motivation. The irony is, i tell myself i'm dedicated to do this, i bust out all the motivational quotes, i read them, i think i believe them, yet i still find myself sitting on the couch when i could be out walking on a sunny day or doing the stairs when it's raining.

I guess it's conditioning and it's going to take time to re-train my brain. I seem to have the food thing sorted. My coke addiction is still alive and kicking but nowhere near as bad as what it was. I drink at least 4L of water a day and my eating habits have improved drastically.

The one thing Brendan has taught me is to not be so hard on myself, i've come leaps and bounds in the past year. I gave up smoking which is a MASSIVE feat in itself, in fact it's coming up a year next week, so HI 5 to me!!! I've lost 10kgs so things really aren't all that bad and I need to keep remembering that.

It's a new week, the rain has dried and i'm feeling strong.

I know Brendan is wanting to get a little tougher with me and i'm ready... so BRING IT!

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...
