Feeling unsupported.
Went shopping yesterday and found that I didn’t fit in the usual size 10’s and had to move up to size 12s. Now, since I’ve been working hard to stay trim, moving up a size was not what I expected or wanted. I also haven’t lost a kilo since I started this blog (not that kilo loss is really what I’m aiming for, but it is a little surprising…)
Add on top of that,...
TMT - Day 65
Yesterday was a 3.6km run & a tough
Mudder weights session.
Legs were a bit sore from konga the day before, but otherwise, pretty good :)
Bike ride and weights session today, and then podiatrist tomorrow!
Weird moment
Just had a beef and haloumi salad with lots of veggies and good things. I’m stuffed, but my brain wants dessert and I’m a little sad that I can’t fit any. Weird.
Gunna go home and drink a herbal tea or something…

TMT - Day 63 & 64
Monday mum and I ran the whole 3.5 km route. Which was awesome!
Yesterday was 2 hours of konga. But my heart wasnt in the second class… Just couldn’t find the motivation…
I’ve also come to the realization that I haven’t actually lost any weight. All this time and nothing.
Next steps:
Massive more effort, especially with the weights and;
Eating habit...

TMT - Day 57
Yesterday turned into a rest day, due to my lunch being extremely lack luster and I was starving when I got home… I guess that’s what happens when you have a free lunch… Today consisted of two circuits on the tough muddier boot camp… Should have done more, but I’m out of time. More tomorrow morning.

Time to hydrate and find my TM workout sheet…

So yesterday I ran 3.6kms with Mum, and then a friend called in a favour so I didn’t do a weights session.

TMT Fail
Well, the last four days have been a fail. Sleeping in, skipping exercise and general laziness. Plus I ate McDonalds for dinner last night and Chinese on Friday
Bad, bad, bad.
The perils of being a 22 yr old freelancer. Distraction is immense. But as of tomorrow, I’m putting forth a new routine, better sleep, proper office hours and more consistent exercise.
The exercise will come back...
