1 goal on hold

Hi Everyone

This is just a quick note to say that I will not be completing one of the goals in my perfect 10 but not because of laziness. I was watching the begginer IntuFlow videos because I intend to add that to my routine. One of the things he said about working to fix the pain instead of working through the pain his home. For the last 3 weeks I have been getting a pain in my side, similar to a stitch, every time I walk. Not just exercise but walking from my front door to the lift (5 steps) or across the road to the shop. When I exercise I get it worse but have been trying to work through the pain and obviously things have not improved. So I am taking the week off to give my body the chance to heal, if then it hasnt improved I will have to go see a doctor about it.

I will adjust my eating to accommodate the lack of exercise but I expect a weight gain by the end of the week anyway. This is a conscious decision to give my body, which has given me so much in the last 6 months, the chance to rest as it obviously needs it.

The Perfect 10 - week 6

The salt thing seems to be working, I am sure of it. My friend Marcelle thought that it would be difficult for me as some one who loves cooking to use less salt because the flavour becomes more bland. On the contrary, it challenges me to make unbland food without using salt and that just makes it so much more fun.



So how are my goals for this challenge?
1) Get to 110kg (242lb) by the wedding: I am back on a downward trend and loving it. I lost another 400g (0.9lb) since last friday. Again not big but I am happy to see 113.6kg (250.4lb)

2) Track every single day and stay under my points: um nope, didnt happen. If I look back I can tell you but I was super busy at work this week as the magazine is going to the printer tuesday

3) Train for at least 5 hours a week: 1 hour left. I have also added the 100 push up program to my agenda (and I am doing real push ups not girly ones)

And now for the Little known fact about me:
I got on my first flight when I was 2 and a half. My mom thought I would be terrified because I hated loud noises but I was happy and giggly and talked (yes talked, not spoke) to the guy next to us for the whole flight (I think it was 14 hours in those days). Since  then I have loved to fly, short or long distances from the minute I board to the minute I leave I am in some sort of meditative state and loving it

The perfect 10 - Week 5

It's been a great week, it great to be working again and while I know I shouldnt pin my self worth and happyness to a job I cant help it. So right now I am extatic.Only bgbear has been that I have had no internet at work and limited connectivty at home.



So how are my goals for this challenge?
1) Get to 110kg (242lb) by the wedding: The salt thing seems to be working. I lost another 400g since last friday. Its not a huge loss but considering I am pre-menstrual I am extemely happy. I am now 114kg.

2) Track every single day and stay under my points: yes, in fact I ate under most days as tonigh we had pizz befoore going to a show so I saved up.

3) Train for at least 5 hours a week: 10 minuts to go so I will go for a swim :)

And now for the Little known fact about me:
I am a huge Eddie Izzard fan an dI got o see him live!! in South Africa!! I still cant  believe it really happned.
