I'm very naughty for not having bothered do a post in nearly a week! I think I will work backwards cos my brain won't function in any other efficient kind of way.
TODAY! 25th October 2011, that is.
I feel like I need to have an intervention for myself about that time I am waking up in the mornings! It's just ridiculous that I am not getting out of bed before 9am most mornings. My very wise Jack told me last week that he has realised finally after 20 years of living that the key to life is GOING TO BED EARLY!
So this morning I woke up at about 9am, and knew I had to get my ass into gear to get a workout in before getting to uni for my 12.30 class. Yesterday (Monday) I wrote a list of goals and am making myself write them on my mirror every night before I go to bed and every morning when I wake up. So I got up and wrote my 10 goals on the mirror!
Workout 1:
5 push ups (girls push ups)
5 squats
5 sit ups
20 rounds.
Time=10.57 minutes
Workout 2:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 sit ups
100m sprint between each set
Time=8.58 minutes
Workout 3:
21-15-9
squats
push ups (girl push ups)
Time=1.50 minutes
The first workout with 20 rounds wasn't actually that physically demanding, it was just quite tedious. 20 rounds of the same thing just got boring to be honest and didn't feel like that hard work. I probably needed to have pushed myself a lot harder. The same with the second work out, I could have really smashed the sprints more. I definitely didn't sprint as fast as I could. Something to work on - putting every bit into the workout. I think it really helps to workout with other people to get that competitiveness. Maybe I should start getting Hannah, my younger sister to workout with me, to motivate me.
I also had netball umpiring tonight, so I walked to the sports centre and umpired netball running up and down the court for 5 hours. Very exhausting, my body gets so stiff by the end of the night. I really want to start yoga!
Food intake=
cereal, yoghurt and chia seeds for breakfast
2 be natural bars (coconut, chia and apricot)
1 apple
1 pear
1 punnet strawberries (my blood sugar levels deplete like crazy while i umpire, and the umpiring girls usually eat lollies during the night to get a sugar hit, so tonight i tried to eat strawberries during the night instead, which seemed to work I think!)
1 can tuna
1 poached egg
pork, asparagus, broccolini and corn for dinner
1 skinny cap
For some reason I don't understand, my left collarbone is loose. I've always had problems with my collarbones, usually after I run for a certain amount of time, they just feel like they have come loose - the only way i can describe it...
But for some reason, the last 2 days its felt like my left collarbone is just chilling inside my chest, and is permanently loose. Not really sure how to fix this problem so at the moment just pretending its not happening. Very sustainable.
Jack is indeed a very wise man... dude you're killing the workouts! at this rate you'll be overtaking Tim and My fitness level and well on the way to being fittest woman alive (I'd better ramp up my training!). Good work on the nutrition front, a HUGE improvement. Very healthy! but don't slack!... i'll be watching ooooooooo (scary ghost voice)
ReplyDeletehaha even though you are joking about the scary ghost voice, its actually reaaaally motivating that you and tim read this because everything i eat i know you are going to see that i have eaten it!! and if i dont work out, you will know i haven't worked out! it's very effective! so thank you for being so encouraging :)
