Long weekend - time to energise!

Long weekend so I am going up to Golden Door for three days.  Three days of healthy eating and lots of exercise.  Yea!

It all happened really quick.  I have a business trip on Friday to Sydney.  I realised late that that was the long weekend.  I got to thinking...what do I want to do for three days?

BE GOOD TO MYSELF!
EAT WELL!
GET A ZILLION SPA TREATMENTS!!!!!

So that is what I am doing. :)

Slow run

My running is average.  I need to step it up for the 5km.
On top of the lack of motivation, I also have a sore hamstring which hurts like heck after I run.
But if having a running shirt drawer that looks like this isn't motivation enough...I don't know what is!

 It was a VERY difficult 1.7km so I need to amp it up!

Notes from Heather

My session this past week with Heather was really good.  She gave me some great ideas for trouble areas.
1 - traveling
I was actually doing the call from the Qantas lounge on my way to Sydney.  It is so difficult to eat well in the lounge as there are so many naughties!  She said to bring boiled eggs and a piece of fruit.  I'll come back to this.

2 - Flower Drum
I was having a business dinner and I knew I wanted lychee martinis.
So, she helped me count my calories for the night and budget them in.  She actually had me pre-post my entire dinner and I knew what it was going to be so that was do-able.
I felt more in control.

3 - champagne or dessert
I am going to try to keep to this as a way forward

After the call I went up to the Qantas bar and guess what they had?
Hard boiled eggs and fruit!  I just wasn't looking for that!
There are good options.

Sunday Weigh In

Last week was bull.  I knew I would be back on.  From 264.5 to 262.2.
Happy Scale counts that as the same weight. :)  But I count that as a win.
Thank goodness my session with Heather happened this week and she was able to give me some great strategies.  (that is for another post)  But what did happen is she now has me eating to lose weight instead of maintain.  Good.  Lets get the party started.

My new calorie intake is 11,900 per week or 1700 per day.

Funny Friday

I'm going to start publishing funny signs from half marathons.  Hopefully this will get me excited to run AND motivate my friends to want to hold a sigh for me during the race!!! :)
