Whew.

What a week I’ve had.   One of the toughest on ‘record’ I’d say – I’m remaining positive and will push on.  My training hasn’t suffered too much, I’m determined to keep it up though today I was unable to do much.

So I have been a bit quiet on the blog.  I flew to Melbourne this morning after about 4.5 hours sleep and not enough the night before either, so, on top of the other it has really knocked me for six.  I arrived at 8am and couldn’t get my room until 12 so had a coffee and wandered the streets until then.  Managed to buy a lovely jacket and a sports top from LJ.

I cancelled my appointments with clients – just not up to that unfortunately.  I have the Mike Robertson seminar tomorrow, hopefully I will sleep well and get a new lease of life so I can concentrate and learn!

My weight has dropped a bit, low 113′s now.  I haven’t had much of an appetite the last few days, but tonight I think it caught up with me a bit.  Have stuck to my diet no worries, but just got very hungry all of a sudden!  I was supposed to do legs (that I didn’t get done yesterday) today but there was no hope of me doing that.  Instead I walked the streets for some cardio, and, after a nap, another walk to get groceries and then tried to do some high intensity cardio in the gym here – again, wasn’t a happening thing.  10 mins and I gave up.  Tomorrow I will train chest down here.  I can’t believe most of the Fitness Firsts are closed on the weekends here in the city.  WTF?  For the amount they charge they should be open 24/7.

So I got back with my groceries and did my ironing and cooked up my eggs and veggies.  So, I’m pretty set now, I will relax for the rest of the night and hope I wake up in a better frame of mind!!  I think I’ve aged 10 years in the last week which is not good for me :) hehe.

Oh yeah, I did squat a PB last week – 7, 7, 7, 6 (I think) at 70kg.  Whatever it was was an extra 10 reps from the week before.  The unfortunate thing is my knee has started to play up again – my fault as I haven’t been icing it this past week.

  • I hope you get some sleep and some down time – you sound like you need it.

    I have been thinking of you lately, missing the blog posts.

    Enjoy the seminar…

  • Hey Sue,
    I hope you are feeling better soon, it sounds like you have had it tough this last week or so…take care of yourself…no one else will:):):)

    I have been wondering how you are going…I hope the seminar helps and you feel refreshed afterwards, we all need that at times…
    Thinking of you
