Day 40/29

So, I swore I wouldn't be one of those people, but I'm really glad the working week is over. I don't exactly have a relaxing weekend planned, but it's all set to be a goodie anyway!

Seeing as I had a little spaz of overeating yesterday, I am attempting to make up for it today. I brought a particularly small lunch in to work today, so added my almonds to it to beef it up a little, and was hungry later. I guess that's the thing about portion conrtol - I always worry about my meals being too big, but I also need to keep an eye on not making them too small, either.

It's funny, this little bloggrety. There are a lot of things that I write that are totally common sense, I know them, I tell other people about them, I read about and discuss them constantly, but this is the first time and place that I actually take stock of the ways that I do not apply them in my daily life. That is the reason for keeping a log though, and from my mistakes, like I wrote earlier, I learn. Oh dear. The Fridge Philosopher strikes again. Whatever, suckitup, reader.

I did a Tae Bo dvd today, the first time I've done an advanced one all the way through.  I usually do the beginner, but seeing as my ankle has been coming along really well, I decided to amp it up. And boy, was I amped! The ab sections aren't exactly ideal. there's a lot of thrusting and pushing and going really really fast, but 'we' in the exercise community have obviously learned a thing or two since the mid-90's, and now know that taking it slow increases the burn. So I do that, but because I am using the dvd as cardio, sometimes my muscles are still sore from the beating they've taken earlier in the week, for example, my still-twingie abs (they are stil getting worked, pain is weakness leaving my body, blahblahblah), and my freakin' sore booty, courtesy of EstroJen. But I did it! I also went to the physio, he's pretty happy with it, but not, like, over the moon, so I will work it extra hard all week, and deal with the swelling, so that on Friday when we go at it again it will be much, much better. He also laughed at me and my awful hand-eye co-ordination, which, if you've ever seen my play dodgeball on skates, is nonexistant.  Food's like this:

• Cheese srambled eggs w one eg and two egg whites
• Slice wholewheat w pb
• Way-too-small portion of turkey chilli w almonds thrown in
• 4 pieces of raspberry licorice - eaten before I registered what I was doing and cut it the hell out!
• Smoothie w banana, blueberries and acai berries
• Cruskit w heese + turkey
• Roast chiken breast with a roast potato and spinach, carrot and tomato salad.

Tomorrow I am off to see my derby friend Dollslayer and do a circuit with her house mate, who is a personal trainer. I wonder what they have in store! I want to talk to her about doing personal training sessions too and what I should do to bust outta my gut-rut!
