10 Week Challenge update #4

Morning All.... Almost didn't blog this week as it has been a crappy week for me! Started out Crap, Ended 'Crap'! But the middle was really good, so I guessed, that's enough to blog about! Right?? ;P

If you know me well, you'd know that I have a really bad 'sweet tooth'. It's nothing for me to eat a bag of lollies (which, I did this week), and that's so bad! But over the last year or so I have learnt to stop at a 'couple' and hide the bag, otherwise I'd be back where I started! :) We also had an 18th last night and I shared some cake with Lilli. I am so so dissapointed in myself for having those lollies and spoonfuls of cake because I know I had the willpower to stop, but I think it's the fact, that in the back of my mind that this challenge is almost at 'Official Start' day and although I have taken my Before photos already, at that point of 'Sweet overload' I was thinking this is the last Licorice I'll have for 11 weeks!!!! (I have already addressed my sweet cravings for throughout the challenge as I know it would be my downfall. I have something that is 'allowed' and that I am more that satisfied with) :P I'll post a photo next blog as they WILL be my only 'bad' thing :)

So, I really should listen to myself a bit more. This week, I told a Friend "If you are thinking positive, you will not fail no matter what anyone says or thinks. Keep going and the most important thing is knowing that you have given it all you can and tried the best you possibly could! No doubting yourself!"

So from now on I WILL not doubt myself and I will take each day as it comes, whether its an easy one or whether I am struggling from the beginning! I CAN do this and I won't fail because it will be myself that I dissapoint the most!

Anyway, I know you are mostly here for the photos....

Sunday started off with a smashing cardio session after I 'Toughened up'!

Monday was a good healthy start with a Banana protein pancake topped with greek yoghurt before my PT Session.

Finished off Monday night with my normal boxing session.

Tuesday, I did a quick fasted walk on the Treadmill before a Back and Bicep workout after school drop off! Breakfast was brown rice, cottage cheese, avocado and tomato! Fuel for the body. Lunch was rice cakes, Avo, spinach, tuna and feta. This is the day I ate my lollies :(

Wednesday, another fasted walk and Chest and Triceps session. And here's something completely out of my Comfort zone! I never in my life thought that I would eat 'Skippy'! But, hey, there is a first time for everything :P

And when I got over the picture in my head, that I was actually eating a Kangaroo, It was really quite enjoyable!

Thursday, Exercise was my normal PT Session and then I decided to cook up some meals for me for Lunch thoughout the week! So much easier to grab one if i'm busy and chuck it in the microwave. 'Prepped!'

Finished Thursday off with Punchfit as per normal :)

Friday began with a Treadmill walk and then off to smash out a Punchfit Session with Teags! Arghhh... And i've just realised that'll be our last one together for a couple of months! She's off to get some new 'Boobs'! So I'm going to wish you the best for Thursday! I wish I could be there with you! I Love you so so so very much and your Kids will be totally fine!

I made up a Green Iced tea with lemon cause I was craving 'something' and needed some energy! It tasted awesome and it gave me what I needed :)

Dinner on Friday, had a 'malfunction' but in the end turned out fine and tasted yummo! Packed full of yummy goodness!

As you all know, I'm turning 30 next week and was told not to buy any new shoes, and as my calves and shins are starting to hurt bad from my other ones, I pulled out my 'Tough Mudder' mud running Salomons for my walk on Saturday Morning! They did good ;p

Followed that walk up with a Leg session (upped my weights and my legs are sore today!!) then a bit of relaxing Family time down the beach, another iced tea and then home to mow the lawn before heading off to Gaige's 18th Birthday BBQ (where I ate more dinner than I should have and the dreaded birthday cake) By the way, it was yummy and Thanks for having us for the night guys! :)
