Training whilst on holidays....

Ahh the holidays, time with the family, sleeping in and eating and drinking fabulous things.... all worth it after a busy and hectic year. I haven't gone to the "gym" since last Tuesday...so a week and already I am feeling those extra beers and good food from home...so am heading back to the pool tomorrow nice and early before all the kiddies get there :) will get on Dad's bike and ride down... outdoor pool, no heating here. Outside the temperature will be 40 degrees but the pool will be freezing...

Training Diary Week Six Thursday

A week until I am on leave for 2 weeks!

Did jam last night at Randwick, I was so knackered after having such a busy day at work I was worried I wouldn't get into the class... but managed an awesome workout. Patty still rocks, even when she has had food poisoning most of the week and living off bread rolls and lemonade... she still performed 100%!

Am feeling tired today, not sure if it is do to busy schedule or the fact that there is a nasty virus going around that seems to have infected our team. Popping those vitamins and eating really well (lots of chilli, garlic) and craving berries!!

Training today, none, will walk home from work tonight if not raining. Felt that sleep was more important at 6am. It is my last night training the girls at Fernwood for a month, so will focus on them.

Tomorrow is pump and core - looking forward to that.

Food diary today - the usual oats for breakfast, protein - fruits, berries, protein shakes, chicken and salad for lunch with soup and vegies for dinner.

Training Diary Week Six Tuesday

As James Brown sang.... "I feel good.... I j knew that I would..." haha... that is what I was thinking when my alarm went off this morning at 535am... that I would feel better AFTER I have been to the gym. It is so very true.

So good, soo good...

Did pump class this morning, and pushed myself hard, I can go much heavier if I wanted to but my wrists give up before the targeted area (normally during squat or back track).... Good chest track today, pushed myself and I even did the tricep track with 5kg plates... noice. It still amazes me to see so many of the girls using 2.5kgs weights throughout the entire class - they didn't put their hand up that they were new, I actually wonder if they feel it... no matter where they are, girls still don't want to increase the weights..... still.... grr. If only they knew the amazing things it would do to their bodies...

So am going to do spin class after work, will fuel up in the next 8hrs and get a great workout in before I meet up with Stu, Jam, Sera, Kevin and Claire for dinner at Akaneya, one of my favourite japanese restaurants in Sydney. YUM! Sashimi... bring it on.
