Day 12

"One of the most common cause of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat" - Napolean Hill

Well, normality has resumed and boy does it feel good. Today I could eat right and exercise right. My life doesn't half make 56 days of fitness tough. Doing this Blog has definitely helped me realise that. I just need to find ways to make those hectic days work for me. I guess that comes from planning food/exercise even harder than I am already.

So today has been great as I've already eluded to. However, my worst enemy is on the horizon. Mr Hormone. Now, ever since I have had a child my body has gone completely crazy and for the next 14 days, it will have a mind of it's own. I generally find that my stomach is like a beach ball  which will be interesting to see on the daily photos. I also have the worst sweet cravings and it'll be the time when Mr Willpower gets tested to the max! Answers on a postcard to how I can get Mr Hormone & Mr Willpower to get along please.

I keep forgetting that my gym is no more and in my head I was going to go this evening, then I realised I couldn't. So what else am I going to do? 'Oh yes, your least favourite thing, that you really need to start doing more Kirsty as both Tough Mudder and Survival of the fittest requires it...RUNNING!'
Now I haven't run for about 3 weeks (see previous comment, 'least favourite thing'!) so I am never full of enthusiasm and tonight was no different, especially as it was Friday. But, I dragged myself out and ran the furthest I have run since before I had Izzy, 4 miles!! I know that isn't that far to some people but it's an achievement for me. I'd like to say I enjoyed it, and I did, apart from one thing... A BLOODY FLY FLEW IN MY MOUTH. I don't get that when I'm all snug in the gym squatting, now do I :)

PHOTOS - Decided to do a quick comparison Day 1 v Day 12. Front & Side look the best. How exciting! 

Onto tomorrow. It's going to be a fun day. I am visiting potential new gyms and having a PT session in his new 'home' called The Hurt Locker. Clue is in the name, it's not going to be fun. Also got date night at the pictures so have to be prepared for those bad things tempting me. All good!

Until tomorrow.....
