End of Week Catch Up
Well there has definitely been no such thing as easing gradually back into my routine! It's been a crazy couple of days and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's actually nice to have my routine back, even if it does mean there's less "me" time for blogging, facebook etc once again. Never mind, i'll just make the most of the time I do have available and catch up when I can.
I'm very pleased to say I stuck EXACTLY to my plan over the last couple of days! Rewarding myself with a half a scone with strawberry jam and a small amount of whipped cream at afternoon tea both days - other than that I enjoyed ham and salad wraps for lunch and HEAPS of fresh fruit from the fruit platters on offer!
I did let myself down on the exercise front though, as work was so crazy I didn't get to the gym at all on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and only achieved my 10,000 steps on my pedometer on Wednesday. I started today already 9,000 steps down for the week but caught 4,000 of them up by the end of the day, doing over 14,000 steps.
The mistake I made was doing that (14,000 steps) for 6 bonus points on the same day that I worked hard at the gym to earn 7 bonus points! Suffice to say my feet are aching like you wouldn't believe now but no pain, no gain right?
And I loved the variety at the gym today too! I did my 5 pieces of cardio equipment - treadmill, bike, rower, stepper and cross trainer followed by weights! I did 60 minutes total cardio and plan to try and increase that a little further in time.
It had been a great day until tonight! One of my old school friends on my facebook page had mentioned that they took their daughter to see the new Chipmunks movie at the drive in last Saturday night, I thought it was a fabulous idea and we decided to take Lachie and Mikayla tonight! I've been talking to Lachie about it all week and he was so excited about it and so was I (I love our family Saturday nights together) but it would seem Michael "FORGOT" to check the movie details like he was planning to on Thursday night and the movie wasn't on! Of course we didn't find out until we were actually at the drive in and try explaining that situation to a 3 year old! Suffice to say it's on at our local cinema tomorrow afternoon and i've already told Michael he can take Lachie to see it - I don't want him missing out! I was so annoyed!
Ok, time for a quick catch up on everyone elses blog before getting some sleep. I'm looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday night and starting aqua aerobics again on Wednesday night.

This is something my PT said when I was going to him that our peak exercise time is approx. 50-70 minutes in a session and anything over that is not really helping us regain fitness or lose weight, so he always structured my program for about the 60 minute mark as in either all cardio or he did a 20 minute cardio and 40 minutes weights approx. He said anything over that we would not burn anymore weight as our body will continue burning the KJ's just as much with a 60 min workout or a 90 minute one. Just a thought.... :-). He said a 60 min 100% focus session is better than a 90 minute not focused one. Anyway just thought I would mention it :-)
Hey there
Have you been taking your measurements with all that exercise you must have shrink heaps I can't wait to see photos and measurememnts
Don't say - you let yourself down!
You have a gazillion things to do at the moment! Take it easy on yourself and try and do your steps each day.
Bugger about the movie stuff up! I Hope Lachie liked it after all the dramas! K :)
