Good things happened this week. I felt on top of things (some of the time) and achieved great results at home, in the lab, and in the gym! I need to move forward a bit now and increase my expectations of myself when it comes to nutrition! My birthday is now over so there is no ‘red flag’ until Christmas Day!
This week I began my ‘new life’ and so far so good. I’ve been checking in on the 12wbt forum each day, I’ve been shining my sink each night, and now have my ‘on the fly’ meal planning board – aka the fridge – clean and working for me!
What I haven’t mentioned is that I have also been going to the gym everyday this week! While it was the last week of school, I trialled a schedule where I did a shorter workout (30mins) and fit it in after dropping off the kids. Provided I dropped the kids off at 8.30am, I could get to the gym, do a 5mins warm-up, a few sets of strength exercises and then get to uni for 9.30. When I start back at it next year (when school starts up again) I will need to take work clothes and a shower cap so I can have a quick shower and get changed once I am done!
This is part of my goal.. to get my training down to two segments: a 3-5km run in the morning, and then 30min at the gym. Only problem is that I usually wash my hair each morning – if I do this I will have to wash it at night. Huge change of routine there! But it will leave me more time in the morning to get ready – making lunches and getting housework done! I do like this schedule though so I will work to make it happen! I’ve got the gym part working, now to wake up and run each morning!
Time to set my alarm to 6am! Eeeek!
