  …pick it up and throw it back. Some things have happened over the last couple of months, and the doctor has confirmed my Hashimoto’s is back in a ‘hypothyroid state’, and that is just shit.  I am tired, I’m damn exhausted.  My head is fuzzy in a way that is difficult to describe – … Continue reading »

Lactic acid.  This shit is real.  My muscles are screaming.  The Pain Master was yelling at me tonight (as loud as a trainer can in a public gym!).  Apparently when she says 100 reps, she really does mean 100 reps – and she stands there pulling faces at me mimicking my ‘complaining’ to boot.  Thank … Continue reading »

And how I wish that I was seeing equivalent results for exertion.  However, this is not the case.  Apparently, the fitter you are the less calories you burn.  Now, numbers have never really been my forte, perhaps this is why I’m still chasing them.  Maybe internally I’m just not programmed to understand them.  Weight loss … Continue reading »

Ok, I am just putting it out there.  2013 is my year for just not giving a shit.  I could really just end my post there, but what’s the fun in that? Where has this come from?  I’ve been feeling a little deflated of late. I’ve flogged myself like the proverbial (I like to use … Continue reading »

2013 – how did that happen?  I start this year torn between disappointment and determination.  Maybe I’ll use the disappointment to fuel my determination.  I signed up to a couple of rounds of Michelle Bridge’s 12WBT last year and just donated the cash to the cause.  I thought I was committed, I wanted to believe … Continue reading »

Ugh.  Shattered.  Not sure what is worse, returning from the land of that rather large wall to a shit tin of work (so ocker of me) – or returning to have to sit a 50% economics exam.  Lets go exam for the moment (hell, the work will still be there for me when I get … Continue reading »

I’m currently trapped in a hotel room, with very dodgy television in the background.  I’ll chime in early – I clocked up 80 mins in the hotel gym and burnt some 1074 calories.  I’ll take that.  I must have a word to Apple however.  The so called ‘genius’ feature, isn’t such a genius.  When I … Continue reading »

    Seriously Yoda – that was just brutal           Moving on.  My 12wbt challenge is forefront of my mind, currently a little secondary in the delivery department.  I am however managing what I put in my mouth to the best that circumstances will allow.  I deliberately took half a punnet … Continue reading »

I am aching. All over.  Admittedly it’s a good ache – you know the type when you realise just how hard you trained and are slightly proud of the fact that you can feel every muscle in your body with every little move – a day or so later?  That first stretch when you wake … Continue reading »

I need a personal chef. And a maid. Maybe throw in a pool guy (I don’t have a pool) and a full-time stylist.  I don’t have time to work, raise children, go to uni, be a wife and do the above. Oh, and lose weight and get into shape. I’ve signed up for round 3 … Continue reading »
