Yesterday afternoon I got to the stage where my head was so painful. The right side of my face felt like it was one big tooth ache and throbing. So I called the doctors (expecting an appointment for Tuesday) and was in the surgery 20 mins later! I'm now on a 5 day course of anti-biotics. Hopefully this will cure the problem and let me get on with my training.
Last night I was in bed by 10 and had only just got to sleep (due to sinuses) when the fireworks went off! Then again I had just got to sleep and people started leaving parties (at 3AM) and wandering the streets shouting Happy New Year. Hubby them got up late for work (new alarm clock and obviously not set correctly!) so I had a nice restfull night!
Today I have done some spring cleaning and cleared some clothes out from my cupboard - the ones that may or may not fit but I won't wear again like dead straight skirts, work is smart casual so don't need them. Oliver is now tidying his room and I'm here!
Also located the gym ball and pumped it up a bit as it had deflated a bit. Dusted it off and left it in the spare room as yet unused! Again! Still at least it is "in my face" rather than the garage so more chance of it getting used!!
For Christmas I got "The complete guide to sports nutrician" by Anita Bean. It's a good read and has a whole chapter on losing fat (as apposed to losing weight!). One thing I did like (having gained 4lb recently) was the fact that she points out the rapid weight gain (e.g. christmas, holidays etc) is not fat! 1lb of glycogen comes along with 3lb of water so I can stop fretting! She also list how to work out your calorie intake accuratly and suggests that you aim for 1lb every week to 10 days after the 1st 1-2 weeks and that you achieve this with no more than 15% reduction in calories. She also gives a exercise plan of 3 days weight training, 1 day rest and 3 days of 20-25 min CV work. I intend to work out my calories as per her workings (I'll give the details here) and see what the outcome is!
Now I need a cuppa tea so laters gaters!
