Had a fantastic day apart from the crazy emotions and waking up with a head cold. Must have been from all the bawling last night :(
Started with PT session with Hamish - I was still sore from my PT session on Tuesday and he got me again! LOL We've devised a new game plan - maintaining muscle - not building! and upping the cardio and a few other throw ins. My diet is going to be 100% squeaky clean - veges, no starchy carbs, fish, chicken and beef, apples & pears, seeds and not too many nuts and of course ... truckloads of water - and I will drop this weight I know I will, I've done it before and I will done it again. Besides I have an extra incentive (as if the op isnt incentive enough) but Craig is offering me some money to buy a new wardrobe when I make the op date of 3 September ... now this offer isnt one to be sniffed at so look out - anal leenie here I come!
so basically this is the next 5 weeks ....
Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday - weights at gym (two different programmes and a PT session)
Monday, Wednesday and Friday - cardio at gym - arc trainer + treadmill walking/running on incline - all up 50 minutes
Saturday - active rest day - so just a walk with the dogs or a bike ride and keeping away from food! LOL
I also have to go for a brisk walk for 10-15 mins after dinner EVERY day and I have some stretches/core work to do before I go to bed.
I'm going to be farkin knackered come 3 September, but I guess I'll have 6 weeks to recover!
Food today:
breakfast - spelt flakes, seeds, dried fruit, yoghurt, banana and green tea
lunch - 100gms shredded cooked chicken, spinach salad, pear
Dinner - 180gms gurnard oven baked with 2tsps pesto, salad - lettuce, peppers, spring onion, seeds
Snack - small handful of raw cashews
4 ltrs of water
1 x 1 hr PT session
2 x 10 min brisk walk (lunch and dinner)
Emotionally I'm really uptight, my blood pressure will be off the richter LOL which reminds me I have to go back to the Dr's in a month and get it retested - like two weeks out from the op it'll be ok LMAO!
My girlfriend from work sent me flowers today ... the card was the most amazing thing I've ever read
Dearest Helena
Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. You are a strong and inspirational woman and your hard work and sheer determination will get you through this. If anyone can do it, you can. Love K.
Of course I bawled - I've never wanted anything so bad ... well maybe thats an exaggeration, but this is so damn close now and I want it ... BAD
Right off to bed, I'm all blocked up and still tearful, didnt sleep too much last night so I'm feeling pretty shattered.
Thanks for your wishes, thoughts, support - its bloody awesome.
