THE FRIDAY NIGHT WAFFLE

Confession time!!

I weighed myself this morning. With a firm goal and deadline hanging over my head, I HAD to know where I was at on the road to sub 65. Happy to say that my weight was a bit lower than expected which is good. I'll still have to work hard to achieve this goal but at least I feel that its doable :-)

So no sleep in for me this morning. After 3 days of running, I hopped on my exercise bike for Tabata sprints of 8/12 x 12 repeats then 2 minute recovery and do it all again for 3 rounds in total. I filled in 45 minutes with some steady state cycling and was happy with the decent sweat I worked up :-)

Today's training session with Joe was a full-body workout as I havent done any other weights this week - smack my bum coz I did slacken off there. What a great session!! I loved being told that I had "impressive upper body strength" and "good shoulders" (smiling like a cheshire cat) but I'm surprisingly weak in my lower body and my hips and glutes just arent cutting it functionally or strength wise :-( If I'm going to compete again .... oops WHEN I compete again LOL I will need to improve this area significantly. Ouch I'm anticipating the pain already.

Food = good. After Paleo yesterday today I hit the low fat dairy as my protein source coz tomorrow I'm aiming for "Paleo Boot Camp" thanks to Lisa and PN. What a name "Paleo Boot Camp". Does it scare you? IT SHOULD!!!! Tough but it works, I'm told. I cherished the one glass of wine I had tonight though. What a luxury and I was happy to have it, enjoy it and not want more. Oops I'm sounding like an alco now, which I'm not. I just enjoy a wine and sometimes I think if I enjoyed one that much then I'll enjoy 2 or 3 twice or 3 times as much. NOT SO I'm learning.

Anyway I think I'm waffling now and WH has asked if I'm typing an essay so that's a hint to sign off.

Good night folks

I'm with you on the wine Magda. Sadly, it's just a little too easy for one glass to turn into 2 or 3.

:o(

You gotta love those Tabatas.... NOT!

Hi Kek,

I love it when you write about your wine passion as I'm right there with you. I suspect (and know) that many fellow bloggers dont drink but I dont think I'll ever be in that club.:-)

Jacque I'm not sure that I should divulge the intricate workings of the PN plan. Lisa Stokes (refer my sidebar)is the lady-in-charge there if you want to know more about the program.

Cheers

Magda
