Today I complained out loud about a toothache...

One of my kids heard me and approached...

L - "Let me see Kellie, I am like a doctor, I know these things... my mum says..."

ME- "Really?"

L - "yep. open your mouth..."

I open my mouth and let him look.

L - "Hmmmmm. You know. It could be wibbley..."

I pretend to wiggle my tooth - "I don't think thats it mate..."

L - (looking again in my mouth) "well.... you know a tooth ache, could mean you have a sore tooth.... yep... (nodding) I think that's it. You probably have a sore tooth..."

Me... laughing at him... Him... not thinking it is so funny....

L- "No seriously. It does. "

Me- "Ok L. "

L- "It will probably clear up in a day or two..."

L starts to walk away before turning and telling me to "come see him if it's not better as maybe I should see a dentist and get it drilled...."

I love my kids.... they make my day :)

I'm getting a few signs of a looming cold.

COUGH - check

DRY THROAT - check

VERY TIRED - check

Right now, other than the tiredness, It is not impeding on my exercise...

I am so scared of getting sick, as I dont want it to be one more excuse why I stop exercising!!

PUSH ON my brain is saying... I at least must be up at 4:30am tomorrow for my run with the dogs.... they will knock if I don't, and get me up anyway.

AND I promised the kids that I would do yoga tomorrow... not that it burns many calories... but as long as it strengthens my muscles....

I have an actual fear of not moving.... like it is a virus... lol

Looking forward to Mona and Kath being home!!!! Only 5 more days for Kath!!!

Also looking forward to a PT session in Newcastle.. where I KNOW my arse will be kicked!!!

Trying to plan exercise in advance that I know I will get the maximum benefit from as well as enjoy.

Still looking for a good boxing class in Sydney....

Weekends....

UGH!

First weekend of choice, that I have had in what feels like FOREVER!!

I am in the process of signing out. and going to spend a half hour on the treadmill, as I have already cleaned my house... twice...

Cooked taco mince, bolognaise, a red thai BEEF curry, a red thai CHICKEN curry, chicken pizzas, popcorn chicken, a caeser salad and boiled a dozen eggs for the week... and my freezer is now overflowing with approximately 35 serves of these meals.....

I spent the day with my mother law...

My Saturday night kicking a gladiators arse at a friends place.... (For those NOT in the know PS3 ROCKS!!! EVERYONE NEEDS A GLADIATOR ARSE KICKING GAME!!!)

Took the dogs for a run.

AND finished with a yoga session... to try and destress...

NOW I am just BORED!!!!!!

(Really need a PS3 of my own..... so I can kick arse at home...)

I don't want to eat... which is a change.... but I DO want something to do.....

So I find myself on the computer... blogging about nonsense... while procrastinating about the treadmill...

Oh yeah....

the treadmill....

1600 metre run...

In hindsight... running at 1pm, on a hot Sydney day, is NOT the most optimal way to improve you times...

BUT... I did knock 46 seconds off none the less!!!

Running it in 11min 12 sec. (*running* for lack of a better word... since I ran the straights, and walked the kerbs to try and recover!!!)

AND it gives me a better goal to aim for when I run in the cool of the morning!!!

Thank goodness for the 400 metre track next door to my work!!!

It has been calling my name since I started back on Monday!

Suck on that Ballam!!!

ALSO I attempted Yoga again with the kids.

They are so full on into it!!!

I have a book here now, that I am attempting to translate, so I can become a yoga master.

I will be better than a bunch of 3-5 yr olds!!!!

lol

Yoga with kids

No typo people... I tried my hand at "kids yoga".

Kids Yoga, being a set of cards that my fearless leader S. had handed down, with "simple instructions" and "easy to follow pictures"...

Easy to follow my arse!!

What ensued was me demonstrating poses, that I am SURE, ONLY a kid could get into... sweating profusely for near 45 minutes... and feeling rather defeated when the kids got up, and decided a running race was in order....

A running race???

After 45 minutes of EXTREME KID YOGA!!!!

They musn't of been doing it right.....

The New Me

Sooooo...

Most people are unaware. But 4 weeks ago, I embarked on a journey to "change my life", thinking that, realistically, I might drop a few kilos, learn a few things, and MAYBE when I got back, people MIGHT notice I had lost... and then I would "TRY" to stick to it....

What I got, I was unprepared for.

I got a wake up call.

And I changed my life.

4 AMAZING trainers (Mac, Gav, Grant and Beau) , One gorgeous counsellor/ psychiatrist (Amina), and a very headstrong and determined role model (Adro) later.... I can finally, for the first time in 32 years, say how AMAZING I am!!!

I. LOVE. ME.

What I did or didn't lose, isn't important. They are just numbers....

What I gained, is a healthy respect for getting active, and eating to fuel your body....

I will never be the same.

And I don't ever want to be.
