Failing body

My body bones joints muscles are eina.
I feel so frustrated that I just cannot seem to get ahead of this debilitating tiredness. Thought I had a relatively good night but by 11am I was desperate for a nap. Could only get one at 3pm and for two hours I was knocked out.
....sigh....
Long road ahead still...

Shoulda Coulda

If only my fat ass did a little bit of squatting and walking daily I wouldn't feel like the whale I am today. Now having to start over once again.
I want it but not bad enough to change the lazy stuck in a rut routine which has become my life.
It has been a turbulent few months and currently am ridding myself of things no longer serving my sanity well. It's so difficult though.
Let's see what I can accomplish in the next 30 days. Need to better my relay time.

Reboot

So...after flipflopping around with diet not being successful or satisfied I am finally going to give the famous reboot a try.
The results are amazing if you stick to it. A close friend has had huge success and shared the info ages ago but I resisted. I have seen and have envied the results on Sleekgirls.
Today I printed out the shopping list. Went shopping. Rather easy when you have a great list. Two stops. Dischem and Woolies. Under R1000.
Prepped some food already and looking forward to week ahead of no guessing whats for dinner.
Dinner was lovely. Moroccan chicken. It's not much different from how we eat already but with more flavour and direction.
I will make this work. With stuffed up back and all. I sooo want to do my photoshoots soon.

First 5km of 2014

All suited up hubby and I walked over the freeway to the start of the race in our suburb. I was struggling to keep up but in the end was super impressed with a 29min finish. Boojah!

Technology

I suppose for those who have gotten it right it's easy. But I just cannot seem to find an app that is easy to use. Was all geared up to enter every minute of sweat inducing activities.  I tried it. Tried more than one app. But it became a workout on its own. Would have been amazing to see every calorie burned the hours etc. Just not worth it.
I just want to train whenever and as hard as I can and know by the amount of sweat dripping everywhere that I did good.
This doesn't mean I don't use technology at all. Today I used a very cute little mp3 player and it was super. Except for the ear pieces. But I will get around that one. The phone was way to restrictive. This little device clips onto my shirt and is feather light. Bonus. Music in my ears for full workout. And thanks to free downloads I got some pumping tunes. Nothing like music to get you going.

2014 You Beauty

So this summer holiday has been rather good. Slept a lot at beginning and felt rather broken but thank goodness it helped. Started seeing a Chiro which helped loosen up my back and I was able to tackle yard work. So proud of what I accomplished there. Food is still my biggest enemy and I wolfed down tons of yummy naughty foods. So I have expanded. But I still feel strong. Empowered actually as I know exactly what is necessary.
Today hubby and I signed up to Virgin. Not ideal. But there were many factors to change things up. It was a long frustrating process which put me off. But we done it and I will do this.
Also have already lined up some fun runs. Want more medals darnit! LOL.
My neck is being stubborn so xrays next week. Typical.
Come on. Let's do this. More ME time. Less GRRR. More ROAR.

Epic BurnOut!

It's official! My body has finally said stuff you and the broomstick you rode in on.
After months of serious stress and tension and non stop crazy shit the day we leave on "holiday" I wake up with a swollen lip from a fever blister. Which stresses me out even more as I had a big radio interview too. Slept a lot first two days. Went horseriding, had a marvellous ride and then my husband gets thrown off. Oi vey! End of holiday. Feel worse anyway so better to rest at home.
My birthday on Monday sucked big time. Broken body. Broken husband. No spoils.
Go to doc barely functioning, not even sure how I managed to get there as I didn't feel like I was within myself. Examines me and says oh boy! Two injections and a bag full of meds later I'm home bound for bed and no gym for a while. Eish. There goes the summer challenge. Although I'm eating horridly I'm still losing weight, so I suppose that's not a good sign either.
I was way too active today but I do feel a bit better.
Here's hoping I can start thinking of only me from now til new year.
