Day 179 - 4km's isn't much!

Bee coz I... Was told I shouldn't do too much walking until I mend a bit but I really enjoyed a stroll with Jane tonight we just took our time, when we got back we looked at the gps and time and we were only 10 mins slower over the hour and we had waited at the lights for 5 mins as the crossing was broken so that was good!

On the mend now bee x x

Bfast cheese and crackers
Lunch as above
Dinner: prawns and salad and some licorice.
Snack: nurofen lol

Day 178 - a trip to the quacks

Bee coz I....have been to the quacks, I am feeling much better. He agrees and is happy with my diagnosis and plan of attack, except he told me I have to take the pain meds as they are anti inflams too for the rest of the week. And not do to much walking for a couple of days.

I am always happier with a plan of attack!

He also said I had to eat everytime I have meds so not to worry if I put back on a couple of kg's over the next two weeks. I will try to break even!

Bfast: branflakes
Lunch: grilled fish and salad
Dinner: Pita pizza yum! And yoghurt

Day 177 - a day in the city

Be coz I...had the day off Ian and I spent the day in the city, it was great when I was walking around but when we stopped and sat down I was in pain.

I have a high tolerance of pain ( probably why I like to go hard in the gym!) and I hardly ever take pain killers but I am on them round the clock now. Just the over the counter stuff as it works really well for me.

Will go to the docs tomorrow

Sad saying good by to my bro but I was glad he got the skybus and I didn't have to drive out to the airport and back as I could not have lasted 2 hrs in the car!

I miss Zumba :( bee

Day 176 - my wings have been clipped!

Bee coz I... Hurt my back yesterday I was reduced to the hydro pool this morning. I am in a lot of pain but know I will be ok if I rest and let my body repair its self. So it's hydro, hot packs and anti inflams for me and no Zumba, running or boxing all week.

On a brighter note my bro is in town and we had a great lazy arvo with great friends!

It was awesome. Bee

Day 175 - Meet Eleanor and Claire!

Bee coz I....have now lost 25kg's I thought I would introduce you to Eleanor and Claire my awesome Zumba instructors.

These two women are responsible for changing my life. I started Zumba just before my health kick and I was bitten by the Zumba bug instantly. In stead of being a do nothing and eat anything addict, something snapped in my head and I switched to a Zumba addict.

My first ever class was with Eleanor, Connie talked me in to going and boy I have never had so much fun while trying not to die at the same time.

Eleanor's class is like a boot camp for teaching us to be sexy, I nearly pee myself laughing every week when she tries to get the group to do sexy freestyle moves. She stops and the class panic, a few of us have got the hang of it but others have not! It's well funny.

Eleanor and Claire are also the instructors who talked me in to going down the water slide at Christmas starting another love in my life - watersides. Truth be told Eleanor told me I had to go down, and I did as I was told :)

Claire is also a hoot, her Saturday morning class is a bit smaller and a great place for beginners to learn the moves as you are less conscious of crashing in to someone! She helped me to get my one, two, three's happening.

Claire also does her own choreography and is responsible for me wanting to start dancing when I hear certain songs on the radio or in shops! Thanks Claire!
I'm thinking of trying her body jam class soon.

So thank you to Eleanor (left) and Claire(who had just finished our class on the right) for making me feel and dance sexy even though I have two left feet x x x

You are the best!

Bee x x

Day 174 - check out these cakes!

Bee coz I...went to a meeting this morning I got to check out these amazing cakes, that's all I did though. I can't even begin to describe how they smelt, lucky for me the next plate was a fruit platter.

Another busy but great day in work today followed by a quiet night, I put my daggy tracky dacks on and a jumper and did nothing but watch a double episode of the biggest looser.
Someone fell off of a bike in one of the challenges and it just reinforces the fact that they are dangerous!

Bee x

Bfast: branflakes
Lunch:soup and an avo sandwich with fruit and poki sticks
Dinner: chicken and salad with a diet choc mouse.

Day 173 - who turned the lights out?

Bee coz I....had a crazy day in work today I was very tired when I got home and made the mistake of changing for Zumba and jumping under the doona.

I could have easily stayed there but thought about what I would miss out on, you know how much I love Zumba so out into the wild weather I went.

Just before we were about to start someone turned off half the lights while trying to turn on a plug in fan (hmmm) the lights are halogen and have to cool down before they come back on again, then when trying to turn them back on the turned the other half off! It was funny. Lucky for us the lights came back on eventually and Eleanor still gave us a full hour of Zumba magic.

I chatted to her after class and asked her why just under my knee caps get sweaty, she pointed out that it's just running down my legs and pooling where the material is touching my legs! And I thought I was some freak with sweat glands under my knees lol :) bee x

Bfast: toast with hommus
Lunch: veggie dumplings ( I ate way to many)
Dinner: crackers and vegemite and fruit
