Excellent weekend

This last week has been tracking well. In particular this weekend.

Saturday was a nice and lazy day at home, played some computer, relaxed and had an overall lovely day. Ate good food all in all as well, nothing crazy, a couple of choc coated coffee beans was the extent of the indulgence.

Sunday. Personal training day. Up and at them quite early (I can't seem to sleep in really late any more, even if I stay in bed late I wake up at 6am) read a few things from the readers (have a massive backlog on my non-fitness / crafty reader) and then mooched off to the other side of town for PT. I train Sundays' at lunchtime, across city once a week. I drive for an hour to get to personal training because a) I have an AMAZING trainer, b) I get to train with my Mum, c) I have coffee with Mum after and then visit Dad to spend the rest of the day with them, which truthfully wouldn't happen otherwise because they live on one side of the city and I live on the other. d) I occasionally score home cooked dinner. SCORE!!!!!

Today was a long one. Training: I have to say even though I had to stop at one point during the kettlebell workout and have a lie down because I thought I was going to puke, I had the best work out and felt GREAT afterwards. How do people work out how much water to drink during training, if I'm just running / biking I'm fine drinking when I'm thirsty, circuit training though, I'm dying of thirst the whole time, but if I drink more I just want to puke >< ???

I train for about 40 minutes, start on the tread mill and then do 30 - 35 mins of circuit. It's something different every week, high intensity and flat out the whole time. A really great workout, I train with usually Mum and another girl, I am the heaviest and also the most unfit, this is improving though. I almost fell off the treadmill when I looked at what speed I had put in for some "fast walking / jogging" and it was over a km/hr faster than what I had been able to manage previously. Obviously I need to make sure I'm up'ing my speed more regularly at home and paying less attention to the numbers and just going with what "feels" right.

I also think I had an amazing work out due to my new support garments. I found a really wonderful lingerie store down the road from my training studio and lo and behold they sell bras in my size and fitting, which after not being properly fitted in over 14 years turns out to be a 20FF, or US 42FF. I thought I was a 24DD, oh how wrong I was :P

I almost fell over when she told me the size, and the fit is wonderful, my underwires actually sit on my sternum... who would have thunk it ... GO, get fitter properly people the difference is mind blowing. (the price for large size bras blows my mind too, I forgot that they were over $100... ) I kind of hope my cup size drops a bit so I can shop at regular stores again or I'm going to cry. At least now I know where I can go to get decent bras for at least working out, which is the most important thing at the moment. My rib cage is smaller than I though though which was a nice surprise :)

I was up .3kg last Wednesday at WI. This week I intend to get that back off. I'm quite enjoying the Propoints plan to date, however I have been less than focused, I will work to rectify that this week and next. I've been tracking really well and haven't gone through all my points yet so should see some good progress this week, if not then the fact that I have to take all my pants in again is good enough for me.

Hope everyone had great weekend, here is to a good week
