Day 5

"Try to create a physique that pleases everyone and expect failure. Create a physique that pleases you, and you're winning every single day." Rolsey 

 Welcome to the weekend!!!! And Day 5 Yey!

Today has been good. I was in the office so was able to up my water intake. Thanks for the tweets for water tips after yesterdays blog.

So motivation for the gym was tested today. Friday, work is over and the last thing you want to do is cardio, well, that's how I felt today anyway. It's strange because I used to be cardio queen. Before I knew how to train properly, I was that girl doing 40 mins on the cross trainer, 5000m on the rowing machine and a go on the bike for good measure. This was the time before I had Izzy obviously, as I would never have an hour and half to workout like that these days! 
I did workouts like this until I met my trainer, who showed me whats what and taught (and showed) how I could lift big weights and not turn into Jodie Marsh (although now, I wouldn't quite mind her body!), but anyway, in a nutshell I learnt that lifting big weights is the way forward. So as a result from both these things, I now hate cardio, as in ages on the bike, cross trainer, stair climber etc. Bring on the Prowler, sled and battle ropes instead!
The training plan I am following this week however, had cross trainer for today, so I did it. I forgot my bloody ipod so too, as the UFF feeling for the cross trainer, no music. Disaster! I did it anyway and threw in some abs too, which wasn't in my plan, but hey, everybody loves abs!

So the food issue today has been that my 'lovely husband'(!), has bought Tesco finest fruit and nut cookies and maltesers. Why oh why must these be in the house. So, I just had my healthy tea which was lovely and have treated myself to 5 maltesers as a well done for a good start.. I have to admit though, I feel a bit crap about it now and wish I hadn't have had them but I have fessed up to you all. This blog is me being real and having the same issues most of us have when trying to be a food angel.

So, this weekend. I have Easyfit Olympics tomorrow and have no idea what will be involved. I just know that being in the hands of Easyfit PTs from 11am - 4pm will involve some serious action and no doubt DOMS on Sunday! Hubby and Izzy are coming along too as it's a family day. Izzy has her toddler Sketchers ready for action. I am SO timing her for a 100m sprint. She is a speedy lil toddler. 21 months old and a little like Forrest Gump; never stops running!

Anyway, Happy Friday and thanks again for reading (and motivating me - yeah, YOU do! I know some of you are reading which is a huge motivation - so thanks).
