Getting my body back
-
[quote name='Mokey']3 hours nannying + gym workout + 4km walk = very tired me. And very hungry me. Must refrain from stuffing my face and negating all the good work! One kg to go. ONE LOUSY STUBBORN KILO.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
You drinking lots of water? You could cheat a kilo off if you aren't drinking enough per day. -
After a week of near incapacitation thanks to a head cold, stomach bug and stuff you guys will never have to worry about, (lucky bastards) I did a workout today, focused mainly on upper legs and lower abs/glutes. May well now be out for another week, ye gods my muscles hate me right now.
-
it's a glorious pain though! nothing like knowing you've really pushed yourself... well at least until you have to walk, pick something up or bend over the next day!! Now you are on the mend crack back into it, a week or so out won't put you back much.

Nah, not heaps, I tried to keep my fluids up but my food intake was pretty limited over the week. When you feel like ratshit and have to dash to the loo frequently, you arent eating bad stuff! (Or sipping the whiskey, Bart!)<br />

I revelled in the burn for about five minutes Paekak, but I'll wake up tomorrow with the mobility of a 90 year old. -
lol I hear ya! it's funny in a sick kind of way that no matter how fit/strong etc you get you always aim to train yourself into the ground. The goal is that feeling of tiredness/satisfaction after working hard. No matter if you were lifting 5kg or 45kg!

How's this for positive reinforcement.<br />
<br />
Went on a bus trip on Friday night, stand up to get another drink and not only does my ass get slapped but the announcement is (loudly) made that it is getting tight. Next thing I know questions are being fired at me from everyone in the last few rows, what am I doing, how long has it taken, how much have I lost, blah blah etc etc. I was also informed that the jeans I got only 2 months ago are too loose (apparently they should be practically painted on) and I need to invest in another new pair.<br />
<br />
Gees this weight loss/toning malarky is bloody expensive but good to know it's noticeable, ha ha. -
Well I know when the exact same thing happened to me I just... ahem!<br />
<br />
That is classic Mokey! Nothing like some comments/encouragement from people not involved with the training/gym etc to really boost ya. Or goose ya as the case may be. -
Zumba again tonight although its way too fast for me. Nice change from the gym though, think I got a bit 'all gymed out' there for a while. Hopefully schedule will settle down a bit from next week so I can actually exercise and sleep instead of just the three jobs.
