Day 7

"A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning"

CHEAT DAY!!!!!
So not really that much to talk about. I eat out for lunch and the healthiest option was a pitta bread with chicken and a few chips. My friend bought some Millies cookies for the show and I also couldn't resist one, and then another one (I know I know), but as a result I didn't have dessert at my mums (which was home made apple crumble - even bigger DOH). Which brings me on to the epic Sunday dinner she made. It was awesome. More veg than you can shake a stick at. Check out my food diary below! Best cheat meal ever!

In terms of workout - not much happened today apart from walking the length and breadth of the Trafford Centre and practically to Sale to get to the In The Night Garden showdome (ok maybe that is a slight exaggeration). I was out the house from 10am and only got home at 7pm. I did however, do a few shoulder presses and bicep curls this morning (I have a set of  dumbells by the kettle. Reps race against the water boiling is a favourite game of mine!). I may also have a go of the kettle bell after I have typed this blog, but I have a lot of planning to do for a very difficult week next week. I am away from Tuesday until Thursday. Living out of a hotel and a team night out on Tuesday. I reckon Tuesday cheat day is the way to sidestep that bad boy. Anyway, I'll work it out this eve.

Something that made me laugh and give another doh to this morning is that I realised I take my pictures last thing at night, when my tum is full of the days food. Morning shot would be so much better. My belly today is full of Sunday dinner, cookies and chips so enjoy that vision :)

Right, best get on with the planning for next week! Weigh/Measurements day tomorrow too eek!

Oh one thing before I go. This Sunday is the first one in weeks that I haven't been really peed off about falling off the fitness wagon on Wednesday or Thursday. Normally I would be saying to myself at this time on a Sunday: 'tomorrow I will start again, tomorrow I will start again...'. Not this week. This week I am chuffed that I have done the whole week (pretty much) to plan. Happy Days!

 

Day 6

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.   Les Brown

Happy Saturday! Today has been another good day which is really good because weekend means toddler time which means no time to sort myself out. It all kinda went ok today because, yes, remember, I planned it all out. :)

We were all off to Easyfit Olympics so this morning I got up, got Izzy sorted and then made a picnic lunch for us all. While those two had sandwiches, crisps/pom bears and other lovely treats, I had a salmon fillet and protein bar to munch on.... yeah, that was all I packed. My best laid plans worked really well for hubby and Izzy but not so much for me. They had the picnic of their lives, and I had a protein bar and a salmon fillet..... that was it. And I was running around like a fool doing welly wanging and long jump so I was starving. Planning FAIL if you ask me...but i'm still new to this concept :) 

So starving hungry we went to the shops. Now, hubby is nothing like me with regards to food, as you will probably work out from these blogs. He is the fast food lover (I can live without), choc, crisps, biscuits, all that, yep, he eats it all. I always joke there is a fat person trying to get out of me because I could quite happily eat all the biscuits and chocolate too. He is SO annoying because he can eat all that and not put a scrap of weight on. He also doesn't exercise (apart from walking 40 mins a day to work). If I was like that I would be 50 stone. I do harp on to him about how it's no good but we just agree to disagree (like we also do about me supporting Man Utd and him Liverpool!!) about our eating habits, which makes mealtimes fun!? 

Anyway, back to the shopping. So I was starving, hubby decides he wants KFC, so he gets one and as a healthy gesture gets me two corn cobettes, that I wolf down. Little did I realise they were 150kcals, 48kcals more than a normal one. Jeeez KFC even manages to make a corn bad. So that takes a chunk out of my 1720 today *groan*.

Workout-wise today, I don't know how many kcals I have burnt off as MyFitness pal doesn't have welly wanging and long jump as an option, funny that.

WORKOUT

3 Long Jumps
3 Well Wangs
Egg throwing/catching
400m run (with rolly polly and various other actions included)
Obstacle Course
Running after Izzy round the track
Walking, a lot of.

 Abs & quads coming on..

So tomorrow is CHEAT DAY (and rest day). Now, instead of my normal, go completely mad, I am going to try and still be good. I have planned it don't you know, well kind of...

I am going to watch In The Night Garden Live tomorrow with friends which includes lunch,  so that is one hurdle. So, after this blog I am going to check out the menu where we are going and see what I can do. I am going to stay away from sweet treats and save myself for my mums Sunday dinner where I can enjoy a cheeky roast potato and a sneaky dessert as my cheat meal.. 
Motivation for tomorrow is two-fold. 1) I don't want to let myself down by having a food diary that is just embarrassing 2) It's weigh day on Monday... enough said.

Enjoy your weekend.... Isn't that a pip
