Thanks everyone, you are all so lovely!!  As you do, I’ve had a bit of a come-down since my last post – I have been suffering with very bad patello-femoral syndrome in the left knee.  So much so that I was unable to do more than 2 sets of light squats and some walking lunges with no weight, on quad day.  Even training shoulders when doing a heavy military press, I used some leg drive and got shooting pain in my knee and had to rack the bar!  So, that was pretty disappointing as everything I do affects my knee.   I’m ‘crabbing’ up and down our stairs   Funnily enough I sprinted yesterday and it felt great after initially warming up.  I’ve been icing after any training, and using Voltaren.  I went to physio today and had it worked on and taped up.  She would prefer me not to squat but, I think I have to – I will if I can anyway.  More stretching of quads required .  It is interesting they have been neglected in that area a bit, as I have been concentrating on posterior chain (hamstring/glute/hip) stretches because of my previous SIJD injury.  I’m finding all my injuries really helpful when designing client programs!!  That’s my positive spin on it.

I am really hungry today.  Will go to be soon so I can stop thinking about eating!  I went to bed at 8pm 2 nights ago, just for a lay down as I felt really tired – I had all intentions of getting up again – next thing I knew it was 5am!!!  I have never ever done that before, not that I ever remember anyway.  I have been getting up at 5am most days, if not, 4am or, a sleep in at 6am!  I’m such the early bird these days.  Which is good in 44 degree heat!!!  OMG how hot is it.  I must say I am so fortunate to have a super duper reverse cycle air cond in our home, so I barely notice the heat unless I go out.  I did my cardio at 7am today and by the time I got home it was already extremely hot.  Off to Melbourne at lunchtime tomorrow in 43 degree heat!!  Nice!!  I have packed my protein, some tuna and salmon cans, have some cooked chicken and beans to take with me on the plane and will buy some strawberries, eggs and cottage cheese when I get there.

Look forward to seeing the new slim version Kerry tomorrow at the airport!

Thought we were in for a bit of a quiet week but suddenly it all went ballistic and now it’s huge!

Well not sure 43 degrees will be very nice shopping weather.  Not that I need to buy anything, but, Lorna Jane is always interesting to pop into
