Well another no gyming it day as I realised last night that tonight will be another late night with dance practise so the extra sleep this morning is needed!
I am also not going to use the train at all this week as I am not wanting to increase the chance of injuring myself walking to work as I have done in the past and close to champs as well!
Overall I am ok - still quite tired but ok!
Its the first day of spring in two more big sleeps and that means warmer weather, longer daylight and more time to do the things I love!
Winter is long and tiring for me and my family with all our soccer commitments but we try and enjoy the spring/summer days as much as we can with relaxing and enjoying our home!
I think I just might complete a list of things to do this summer and see how many I can complete!

89 day Challenge - Days 33-36
WOW - What a busy weekend I have had, I ended up having Friday off work as TTOTM was playing havoc with my back so I spent the day resting, oh and dropping hubbys car for its warrant of fitness which it failed!
It needs two new tyres (160.00 each) and something with the rear light and a crack in the windscreen fixed.
So after 572.00 later it is all good to go!
Saturday was quiet for most of it until the afternoon when we had a dress rehersal for Ceroc as the champs are next saturday (Freaking out!)
It went well and we all "sexed it up" for the audience!
Sunday was spent with my son at a soccer tournament where the boys did not play to there best abilities whilst on the pitch - Liam did ok but was in goal for 4 1/2 of the 5 games and of the 1/2 game he did play he scored two goals - so that was good!
Last night I went to bed at 8.30 as I was tired and had great plans to get up at 5.30am to go to the gym!
BUT - I spent the night tossing and turning, not sleeping and still with back pain so I allowed myself to sleep some more and will hopefully go tomorrow morning!
This whole 89 day challenge I set myself is not going the best at the moment but I will try and pull myself together to get it sorted!

89 Day Challenge - Day 30
I will confess................
NO GYM TODAY!!!!!!!!!
Argh I so didn't feel like it today either and I know why - that darn womans thing!
The lead up to it this time is causing me back pain/cramps and I am not handling it very well!
I will take it easy at dance class tonight and will have another nice sleep in tomorrow - but I promise to you and me that I will get back there on Thursday and Friday for sure!

89 Day Challenge - Day 27-29
What a busy weekend I had - with the last of the saturday soccer commitments now finished we will slowly get our weekends back.
I spend Saturday sorting thru some paperwork and loading a few more trade me auctions of craft supplies that I no longer require.
Sunday was spent relaxing and catching up on recorded programmes and phone calls with my BFF.
No gym this morning as I has a very sore tummy last night and was woken up what seemed like every hour.
Oh the joys of being a woman!

89 Day Challenge - Day 26
That darn alarm of mine!
I think it is time to go and get a new one - it didn't go off this morning so on the good side - I go to have a nice sleep in!
At least tonight I have extra dance training which will help, and making excellent food choices - I should be all good to go!
This weekend is nice and quiet so I might try and fit in a walk somewhere, as well as trying to catch up with my Nana and see what shes been up to
Enjoy your day and have a fabulous weekend

89 Day Challenge Day 24
Today is my rest day - which is great as Tuesday nights are my late night. Also with the freezing cold weather we are experiencing in Auckland at the moment, I am glad to be able to stay in the warmth a little bit longer.
Yesterday was another food shocker - why do I do it!
This is something I need to really look within to see why I can't find the success again of previous attempts.
Lately with our dance trainings, different people have been recording the routine and then we all get to view it to check out timings and make sure that we are all hitting the beats at the same time.
I hate looking at it because what I see in my mind of my body is nothing like what I view on the recording of me and it depresses me!
I guess I view myself on what I can see when I look down and that is a "frontal view", but that is definitely not what I see when I see a recorded version of myself and this then makes me think is that how people see me????
Am I really that big, that round?!
I have so much sorting out in my mind to do and somethimes that feels so overwhelming that I just give yup and have the chocolate!
But I will continue to look within to sort the outside and come to a happy resting place

I do want to loose weight
I do want to be under 100 kg (Lowest 102kg a year ago)
I love the control of eating well and getting the results on the scales
BUT
Why do I continue to eat junk food!
Why am I not giving it my all at the gym making sure that I am feeling like a work out has just happened
Why do I think I am not worth it!

89 Day Challenge - Days 20-23
Whew - I have been so busy these last couple of days I forgot to post!
The weekend (Days 20/21) were busy with children and soccer commitments - so no gym but lots of walking,
Yesterday (day 22) saw me up nice and early - 5.30am - and off to the gym for a great work out!
Food choices yesterday - so so
Today (Day 23) was another early start but a gentle work out - so friggin cold!
Food Choices today - will be much better!
I can't keep busting my ass going to the gym in the mornings if I am going to waste the workout with bad food choices!
I know - I know - the penny drops!

I must move it to a safer place!
So no work out this morning for me BUT we are starting Friday night dance training so that will incorporate a bit of excercise.

89 Day Challenge Day 17
A nice sleep in for me this morning!
I didn't make it to bed until 11pm last night due to my dance class running late and then we had our team training after the classes!
We also had a "substitute" teacher last night who is amazing to watch and he brought along his regular dance parter who I absolutely love watching dance, so last night was a great night for me!
My feet are tender this morning so I have on some comfortable shoes on today.
Another new set of clothes today - but with touches of green today!
Loving all these new clothes - I am hoping to go and get some more coathangers tonight along with a visit to the local library for a book I have been waiting to arrive:
Lost and Found:Unexpected revelations about food and money - by Geneen Roth.
Anyone read this???
Food choices - haven't been the best and it is something I need to work on!
Emotions - I am feeling a little overwhelmed lately and after chit-chatting with someone last night I am wondering about trying to take some St Johns Wart to help me feel a bit better.
Has anyone tried this before - good??? Bad???

89 Day Challenge - Days 11-15
Opps
Sorry about that - the days got away on me after the suckky day at work!
I have still been going to the gym during the week days and trying to fit in extra activities in the weekend.
Food choices have been good and the scales on Saturday morning are moving the right way so that is good.
I had the most amazing day yesterday.
A very good friend of mine has had weight loss surgery (not lap banding but a sleeve?) she has lost 13 kilos since the surgery and lost before as well.
She has had to do a complete wardrobe change and I was the most lucky recipient of her wardrobe!
I can not believe it still - she gave me:
7 pairs of jeans (all different styles)
8 black pants
Approx 12-15 camisoles
Over 50 tops and overtops!
2 pairs of boots
Togs
2 cardiagans
2 jackets
I am so grateful for her generosity and for thinking of me like this.
I now have the problem of which top to choose to wear each day!
And to say thank you I am going to get her a voucher for some pampering at a Beautician as well as assorted gift cards from the "normal" girls clothing shops.
I feel so powerful and confident today in my new clothes it is an amazing feeling!
