So! Its day three of
my official healthy eating plan and all is well. That being said I'm pretty
sure I’ve left a portion of my body hung off the weights at the gym, that or I
was sleep walking and was hit by a bus. It’s that good pain, the ‘I woke up muscles
that I didn’t know existed pain’ and I am NOT looking forward to the second day
burn.
This week has been
interesting so far. On Monday I returned to my old gym, Visions at Hawthorn,
which I have now re-named Bully-Bums
at Hawthorn (thanks Ally!) based on the absolutely horrible experience I had.
Now, I feel it unnecessary to go into all the details but lets just say Erik
and I experienced verbal abuse from the owner over a missing hand towel. (No
longer a member at this gym!)
Anywhooo I’ve been
waking up early and preparing a proper breakfast and keeping my calories down
to 1200 per day (thank you www.myfitnesspal.com).
My friend Andrea has also taken me under her personal training wing and has
been personally torturing me at her gym! She’s amazing to say the least and its
because of her that I am feeling more motivated than ever to really dive head
first into ab country. Thanks AJ!
Today I ventured to
the Osteopath to ensure I was in alignment. Id never been before and was
happily surprised by the results. Georgie, my new osteopath buddy is a gorgeous
petite girl with guns of steel! The treatment started off with a half hour
assessment, medical history etc and then moved into remedial massage to warm up
the muscles. After some stretching she made some skeletal adjustments, a crack
in the back here, several cracks in the neck there and finished off with some
odd contortionist stretching that I'm sure looked murderous, but felt amazing.
I left the clinic feeling stretched and straight and will return next week for
more fine-tuning.
Now, as I'm writing
this, a horrible person is baking brownies in my building and the smell of said
brownies is wafting up the stairs. I have now resorted to stalking motivating
images to help me keep on track… enjoy!
