what have i been upto???

Well its getting close to week 11 weigh in and it worries me that i will not get to that 10kg before week 12 ends. I am signed up for round 2 and love sneaking into the forums and seeing what the newbies are up to, hoping to hold a hand or pat a back if its needed.  i hope you all had a great week training , or if not training, planning to train. I have made a big effort to eat Mish's recipes this weeks and have really enjoyed it. i had a couple of days where i was like a bottomless pit though so i don't know how that will reflect on my weigh in on wednesday though. i am really putting my all into my workouts now, doing a dance class on Saturdays that is so bloody hard lol, my vertigo is up to crap at the moment so I'm not steady on my feet like i used to be but i don't give up, i get through the hour class with a 400 cal burn each week  yayyy.
my workout buddy is having a harder time though, mum has halicobacter pylori in her stomach. and shes not coping with the treatment , so she stopped taking it , even after a rather motherlike lecture from me. its surprising how many people have this bacteria in them and its a nasty little bugger, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori   so keep an eye on your tummy health , keep up with your probiotics as well cause it helps keep things well in there and so does vitamin c.

So im working my bum off, dealing with my vertigo and  anxiety, and running my household the best i can, i  was even almost asleep yesterday afternoon , sitting in my chair and instead , damo said lets do the yard, so he whipper snipped while i mowed, 260cal burn thank you very much.

so much for a restful day lol, that night i decided to test my calorie burn  with a number 7 , and managed 48 cals in 25 minutes, I'm thinking my beach walk of 18 minutes and 110cal burn was exceptional then lol,  well i did take the number 7 easy, i will be determined to  beat that score much to Damians amusement.

Damian took me for a drive yesterday to some of our local beaches and all i could think was wow i would love to run along there. Even damian said lets take ur bikes down there next weekend and ride the trail there and back and see what calories we burn. i said bloody oath . we are also keen to get out boating so that will be super fun for me , the floods ruined all fishing around here and then we were not allowed to fish due to ecoli. now its supposedly safe and i just want to get a line wet.

i will be getting some more videos sorted of clogging to show you once i update my video card and my windows movie maker works again.
i must go now and pick up kiddies so i will blog late, i was distracted by my hot cup of aktivite and lost alot of my blog so for now im saving this to draft and will pick up where i left of when my brain re-enters my head :)


Its wednesday and it took a while for my brain to work and i still havent figured out my video drivers yet  , i promise i will so i can share some vids with you ,,, there will be more pics and vids during round 2.

today was week 11 weigh in.... woooooooooohooooooooooooooo i was worried for a while but i finally cracked my 10kg , yessss, 10.2 to be exact . i raced out with my $25 gift card at big w and rewarded myself to a new one active training jacket.... and a new singlet.  how awesome am i going. lol, i really wanted to have been down alot more by end of round but i have one week to make it matter.  i had a rough start to the day having some tummy and bowel trouble if you know what i mean. i promised myself i will not trust a fart again ever , oy oy oy *rolls eyes.


i wanted to share something i was thinking about too,  how i see myself when i look in the mirror. I see grey hairs, double chins, droopy eyes with almost invisible eyelashes, warts all over my forehead., literally i do have these weitd growth things crop up on my temples and forehead. then i  saw a video link on my page and had a look, it was a video that dove had made, an experiment, so i went and had a watch, and do you know , i sobbed, i really sobbed, it was such an eye opener for me about how others might see me.. they may not notice any of the things i notice,  they might actually think that i am beautiful the way i am, just like Damian does, not like i do. i will go back to my mirror after one of my many toilet trips lol and have a different look at myself, at how others might see me.

my love and hugs to you all ,  i will chat again soon.
