Day 76

Sorry everyone for my lack of support and comments over the last few weeks. Wasn't easy to do so on holiday and then coming home to find we have sold our home and have to move in 10 days time hasn't left me with a great deal of time. Fitting the workout in is a challenge. Its taking me soooo long. I enjoy the skipping, don't mind that at all, headphones on and I can skip, skip, skip but the rest of it...HATE IT!! SO in 2 weeks, no PCP and a new home. Bring it on.....

DAY 71 ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Official weigh in day today. Jumped on the scales this morning....55.8kgs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a very big whoops. I was 52kgs the day I went on holiday. I cant begin to tell you how much I hate myself for it. Still back on it today BIG TIME.  Weekly photo day today too :(  

Day 69 I think...

Going home today and I'm not looking forward to the official weigh in Wednesday. been 2 weeks since I was on the scales and it ain't gonna be pretty. Neck & shoulder still giving me gip so workouts are a mishmash of what I should be doing and the things I put in for what I can't. Hopefully getting home I can see the Physio. Looking forward to some plain food as all fooded out now. Got 3 weeks to try and turn around the crapness of holiday. Bring it on.......

Day ???

Still on holiday hence no idea of what day I am on as not using t'internet much and being guided by Pete as to exercises. Everything was going fairly well up until yesterday. Skipping and workouts all being done by both of us in the mornings before breakfast without exception. Yesterday I thought I felt a twinge on the davinicis - not the first time - and by the afternoon my back and neck felt tight and sore so stupidly I got a massage on the beach. Fast forward a couple of hours and I couldn't move my neck. It's an old injury that rears it's head every now and then and is only solved by anti inflams and seeing the physio. Thankfully I don't go on hol without the tablets but no chance in he'll in getting a Physio appt. needless to say today's workout and skipping did not happen for me in the usual fashion. Instead I made my own up, a nice big swim which actually gave me some movement back in my neck and then lunges, squats and leg raises as they were the only things I could think of which didn't use my upper body. Fingers crossed for tomorrow although my legs and arse need the extra leg work anyway so not too bothered. Food good at breakfast and lunch. No carbs in the evening meal and sticking to seafood but dessert has crept in and i HAVE to keep my gin intake up in the evening or I'll get mozzie bites from the lack of quinine...won't I Tracey ;)
No time to read everyone blogs but hope you are all enjoying the new evening meal.

Day 59

So, update from Bali. Up early yesterday to do the workout before leaving for the airport. The skipping was supposed to be done when we arrived but never happened. Stayed pretty much PCP food wise as we packed our own for the plane. Went a bit off piste in the evening with the G&Ts. Oops. Started today off with the workout and skipping before breakfast which considering my mouth was a bit like the bottom of a budgies cage shows some dedication. Hotel breakfasts for me normally involve a lot of food, especially the pastry kind! There I was in my gym kit at the salad bar - I'm a changed person! Well for now....
After a day at the beach we took the kids back to the hotel and we thought we should really do the 8 min abs while the kids were busy watching tv. The little one wandered in half way through to watch us and started saying skweeese, skweeese, tummy, tummy. We laughed so much we had to stop. Can't say we are having an apple & egg white for evening meal but we are swerving the carbs and just having grilled fish and veg. And gin...

Day 57

Another busy day. Flying to Bali tomorrow so unpacking from our upheaval yesterday and repacking for tomorrow. Dropped No.2 son at summer school and then had 30 mins until my pedicure appointment ( its a hard life!) so took my skipping rope along and found a quiet corner to get on with it. What I didn't realise is that a bunch of workmen had turned up behind me - they probably thought I was mad, I got a few looks from passers by but I didnt care as I just wanted it out of the way. Workout didnt happen until 5pm which was tough mentally - especially the poxy lunges. Need to get up super early and do tomorrows exercises before we leave as I dont fancy having to do them when we get there. I was all for not doing it at all but Pete wont let me :(

Official weigh in day 52.1kgs. Photos later.

Day 55 & 56

No blog yesterday and thats because I had nothing to put. Thats right, no skipping and no workout. We are temporarily moving out and I had a whole heap of stuff to sort so that took up my entire day. The intention to workout was always there but at 10pm I conceded it wasn't happening and went off to bed. So now its the wee hours of the start of Day 56  and I'm wide awake. 4am in fact and I'm not sure if the churning of my stomach is a) the stress of moving out this morning for 48 hours b) the guilt of not working out yesterday or c) the packet of chocolate buttons I ate in 30 seconds flat yesterday so no-one would catch me.  Maybe all 3. All I know is, is I have my gym kit on and I'm about to something that I have NEVER done before and will make Pete laugh when he reads this later. I'm about to sneak out in the dark and find somewhere to skip ( cant wake the kids up by bouncing around in here) and do as much of yesterdays workout as poss. Wish me luck!

5am update - Finished the skipping much to the bemusement of 2 security guards. The last few days its been in the 30s here so it was nice to go out and find it was breezy and cool this time of the morning. UNTIL I STARTED SKIPPING!!!!!!!!!!! Must have a lost a few pounds in sweat but cant get on the scales as everyone is still asleep and I'm stuck in 1 spot writing to you lot to relieve my boredom.
