Great workout following the TRX basic training video. Except I couldn’t do the Deltoid fly’s, as I was in a doorway.

Repeat another 2 times. The workout should take a touch over 15mins.

See how many bounce jumps to finish. I made it to 153.

Protein recovery.

Did another workout about an 1.5hours later using TRX bands, I love these incredible things!
60secs Squats
60secs 1 leg squats
60secs 1 leg squats (other leg)
60secs sprinters start
60secs sprinters start (other leg)
60secs hamstring curls
60secs back row
60secs chest press
60secs plank on hands
(for some reason it took about 25mins)

I forgot to mention, I made the two week challenge with flying colours!

There is a funny feeling that has been surging through me lately; it’s really hard to explain – I’ll try my best.

I have been edgey… edgey like when I first gave up smoking, only this has been a reserved calm edgeyness that feels like I am waiting for something to happen or I need to do something. I have been trying to go to garage sales on the weekend to find things to sell on ebay, I have been getting into facebook like crazy, increasing my friend count by over 250 in three weeks!

I feel like something really important is about to happen, I’m not sure if it’s good, or a bad thing – I do know it is going to be big.

I have started studying Project Management once again, once again I’m starting from the start as I can’t remember anything I’ve already studied.

I am bored, I’m bored at work, I’m bored at home. What do I need? What do I want? I feel lost.

I need to start something that makes me feel passionate, excited, and absolutely pumped to even think about. I really want the feeling like when I was little and I got a new toy that I had wanted for longer than a week.

I just had a brain wave (literally just then as I was typing!) – Over the next two weeks (MY NEW TWO WEEK CHALLENGE) I am going to listen to as much personal-development that I can, chat to as many people as possible, get ideas, get information, get something, get anything – that will give me that spark back!

After another sleepless night Schnitzel woke me up nice and early to see the sunrise again, isn’t he sweet!?

If the grammar is awful – the spelling is illegible, or this post doesn’t make sense it’s because I need some sleep. Today I went to the Pooch park with Schnitzel I also took my Camera and snapped some pics, I’ll post some to my flickr account in the next few days (after I get some sleep).

I’m beginning to notice my face change, although I haven’t lost a great deal of weight, I have noticed my face has gained shape. I heard that you put it on (weight) from top to bottom, then you lose it the same way, I’m not sure about that, but i’ll run with it.

Today was great fun, I started the morning (without a headache I might add!) taking Kylie and Schnitzel for a walk, we went straight up our street to Linear Park where I snapped some photo’s of them both with my new camera (check out my flickr profile).

We went for some shopping at Westfield Marion Shopping Centre – when we got there I felt fantastic, no cravings, no patterns, and best of all no stinky breath. I knew my luck would get me a good park today, I was right – less than 50m from the entrance. In that short distance we managed to walk past six people with cigarettes either in their mouth, about to light one up, or putting one out.

The first two were these little girls bum-puffing on their ciggies just outside the entrance (all the others didn’t really matter), they would have been between 14-18 years old (I’m terrible with age of women and girls!). It looked as though it was their first couple of smokes they’ve ever had and were only there posing, trying to look cool. I just wanted to grab the ciggies out their mouths and say “cigarettes make you look ugly, stink, and ruin your skin – you’re not bloody doin’ it right anyway!”. Instead I walked past and the smell actually made me sick, it was a great sign. This was the first time I’ve given up and I’ve not enjoyed the smell. Kylie was very proud (again).

It was a standard shopping day, the only difference was I was not feeling so self-conscious about how my clothes or breath smelt. We fought our way home to a little peace late in the afternoon. It was only minutes when we walked through the door and Kylie got a call from her friend, Kylie said “do you want to go out?” to me, I did not want to go out to a pub surrounded by ciggies and beer. I explained as nice as I could, trying to let her down softly “I’m too tired, I’ll drive you where ever you’d like”, she had a relieved look about her, something tells me she didn’t want someone bored sitting in the corner asking to go home every five minutes holding her back from having a good time.

Coming home by myself felt weird. I ALWAYS have a all by myself, this time was different – I heard noises – I heard scratching – was that a knock? – what was that? – where were these sounds coming from?… My anxiety was intense, I was starting to sweat, I was screaming like a School girl. The cravings were even more intense, I really feel like a beer and a ciggie. I decided to get my Baseball bat and triple check all the windows and doors – “Sorry Schnitty, you’re going to have to try and hold on tonight” I said. I laid on the lounge with Schnitzel and my bat next to me.

Waking up to the sound of my phone going bananas (literally, I put banana splits as my ringtone). Kylie needed to be picked up, my sleep deprived state was now in delirium. I tried to open my eyes, it didn’t work, Kylie called again to see where I was. I fell asleep. I jumped up about 10 minutes later, oh no I have to get Kylie!!

It was nice being the person relied on rather than the person relying on someone. “One banana two banana three banana four…”

All is still going well, my will power is holding strong – I’ve made it through another week.

This morning I received my new Digital Camera the Nikon D60.

I love it! I’ve realised how hard it is to create gorgeous looking shots in the blink of an eye. I’ve posted a couple to my flickr site (view my side panel flickr profile). I’ve got a lot to learn.

As today is Friday I’m not overly excited that the weekend has happened upon me again. My ritual of going home for a beer is still very much top of mind, I have to get through and prove it to myself that I can do it. I’ve got a camera to pay for now, so the next few weekends will be very quiet.

I’m going to head off to bed early tonight, we’ll see how the weekend unfolds.
