End of Week 2

Summary

Finally home, fed, on the couch ready to watch weekley message and a bit of TV!
Great week, lots on as usual, lots and lots of work but managed to keep eating on track, get all the exercise done. Overall pretty happy with this week, lost 1.4 kg so i was stoked with that too... cant believe this is working!! and that im loving it!!


Exercise

Today we smashed out another 10km, ran along the Merri Creek Trail today, we got our friend Sarah to her first 10km today she was pumped ( exhausted) but pumped, we were running along a long straight and it was like it would never end... it was at about 7.3km Sarah said "sooz im going to stop at 8km"... me and my big mouth ( well I knew she could do it) said "no no you can do it Sar you are so close" so on she went... what a trooper... we slowed on the 8th km and got of that damn long boring road and ran around block upon block and i screamed her home to her first 10km!! I also gave her poor shins a rub down for her.. hahah
Also our Nickers ( Nicolle) made it to 10km,,,, actually I think it was 11km! what a legend.

Emms thinks my sweat was sexy today.... ???? i thought i looked like a beached whale but this was it.....



Food 

How good is the food??? Im loving all of it... oh except the bircher muesli that was on this morning.. Sorry that was not cool.... lol... so i had one piece of toast and a yoghurt instead... at least i tried it!!! thats a good step for me... trying things im not sure about.
Ok so highlights in food this week... Laksa and the Penang Chicken.. holy crap they were awesome, Brad was even super impressed by them... and hes a hard one to please....  so glad those 2 will be making it into the permanent recipe book... yummo!!
Even though work was full on this week i was prepared so eating stayed on track at work! oh and i didnt eat any crap at the football last week while everyone around me was eating pies, hot dogs and chips!! oh god it was hard but I was almost not interested??? i did say almost... hope that changes for good though... will be so good not to WANT that kinda food at all!

Worries:

Had a party friday night which i drank some booze but made sure i burnt all of it off in the SSS! Which i also need to assess as I think we need to go to next level... Dont want to say it was easy but def need more of a challenge to empty the tank on a saturday.

My biggest threat this week... HOLIDAYS!!! God I am so scared Im going to stuff this up, I have exercises printed, stuff to take for fitness test, i plan to exercise at least every second day, and amp up the walking around sightseeing and also try get to my goal of surfing... that is always a good workout... yikes! I worry about food the most I think and all I can do is flex my will power muscle... i can do it!! speaking will power my fella (Brad) and I made it to the 11 month mark as non-smokers... whoo hoo... if i can do that i can do anything...??



Going to start a new part to my blog on my fav running songs... what a differnce music makes!

My Fav running song this week:

Update #2.... 4 days down...

Well I'm 4 days in and I'm just loving it!!! I just hope this motivation lasts... I am loving the food and I feel great.
I'm all over the good old gastro I had last week which is brill. No more gagging lol.
Exercise is going well, I am angry at my running as I cannot run up hills??? Any hills... Ie even the slightest slant.. Really gets me down so best I get to trying to fix that or poor emsie will be getting lonely running ahead of me all the time.. She's so speedy these days!
Ok that's about it, wish my hands were scales... That's it! Ciao ciao x
