Absolving Responsibility...

Yep, Guilty, Look over here.. I absolve myself of responsibilty in lots of ways,  I blame the weather, my lack of will power, lack of energy, too higher body fat, lack of time, other people, my house not having enough storage.. the list goes on. I think we are all guilty of this to some degree. For me the time hascome to stop passing the buck and get on with living the life I want, starting with the house that doesnt have enough storage.. mmm is that really the problem OR is it that there's just too much crap in it???  I dare say if I wanted to be really honest about it (and really who does want to be honest about these things?) I live in a house with adequate storage and WAY TOO Much crap.. and I use that as an excuse for not really cleaning .. you know the old clean in between the crap thing.  Weelll having just read The Hero's Handbook,  I am going to under take being my own hero by throwing out a whole heap of shite that is literally gathering dust around here...unfortunately its going to have to wait until tomorrow (haahhaa procrastinators unite) as I have to be at work in 39 mins.. but I will chuck that bag of clothes thats been sitting in the bedroom in the car and take it to the sallies.

Its a start

Get your own copy ofThe Hero's Handbook ..its free and it might needle you into doing something about that thing thats been bothering you for a while :-)

No Comp for this Kid...

I've been back on he plan for a month no and not too much has changed.. although having said that I do feel a whole heap better.

The new programme is starting to show benefits..i think my shoulders are squaring off and my lats have definately gotten bigger.

All that said however it doesnt look like I'm gonna be competing in april as the weight loss is not coming away all that great and also it looks like we are Australia-bound WOOHOO!! So with the need for renewing passports and transporting hounds (as well as ourselves) spending a shed load of cash right now on new bikinis, tans, federation/entry fees, shoes, hair ... the list goes on, just doesnt seem like a feasable idea.. and if im going to be honest my heads not really into it right now.. sometimes I just wanna eat eggs on toast and drink wine (not at the same time usually tho...) and its really nice to have the choice to do so.  Well you always have a choice even when on a cutting diet BUT you really have to weight up the consequences of your dietary recklessness very carefully.  So right now I know that I will compete again this year so am sticking to the plan 90% of the time, keeping up my training and generally doing the right things.

Today is my "cheat" day so I have eaten some cheese busters (yum!) and am planning wine for later. Also I found a very low fat, low carb, high protein cheesecake recipe so am trying that out today .. its cooling in the oven even as I type.  will post photos when its done.
