Mermaid 2006

12.00pm Gym
Worked out with P, he was doing legs. It was a very hard session because he pushed me/helped with last reps/made me increase weight more than I would have on my own. But felt quite good because I am actually a bit stronger than I think I am.

A lot of it is mental. There are times when I think I can't do those last two reps and I stop for a sec, put my brain in overdrive and push 'em out...and tada - I COULD do those last two reps!

Since you've found you're stronger than you think you are....guess who's gonna' be getting the whip more often!!! lol

You're doing great! keep it up!

Monday 9 January

Oh I'm not happy with myself. Amazing that I'm actually feeling more guilty for missing meals now. I've been doing well and can't stand it when it all falls down.

Did not sleep well at all last night. Slept thru alarm for am cardio.

7.00am
1 cup bran cereal
1/2 cup milk
1 cup whites, 1 whole egg
Supplements

Huge organisational changes at work. Doesn't directly affect me but I end up being the sounding board which I don't mind at all (part of the job) but felt I could not say "hold that thought while you're crying into that tissue because you lost your job" while I get out the cottage cheese "can't miss a meal, Scorpio Girl will kick my a$$".

12.30pm Lunch out
1 large tortilla (yes, I did it again) w/
chicken, avocado, tomato, cheese (not too much)
Lots of water

Meetings

7.00pm
1 cup cottage cheese
1 1/2 tbsp almond butter

Probably ~1400 cals P:30 C:30 F:40

Now that was a shitty day in more ways than one.

Tomorrow will be better.

I know how it is to miss meals due to work. I'm getting into the busy season and it's causing me to miss here and there too.

Is everything ok Mermaid? It is not like you to not update for a couple of days!

LOL - sometimes life just TAKES OVER! Sucks sometimes. I've had the same problem for the last couple of days. Forgot what I ate and had to rack my brain to remember. Spent over an hour adding up the food totals and entering them into fitday last night. I missed having my "sanity" time, so I was happy to do it.

It'll smooth out - just a little bumpy right now! Hang on!
