Ok, so i'll be brief.....i've been missing in action as I've been feeling a little rough and it was confirmed yesterday that I have Swine Flu.....gr8.
Joints hurt, head hurts, everything hurts.....
no appetite, no strength and generally just feeling totally wounded...
BUT......I must remain strong mentally and be fully prepared to jump back on the wagon once this minor setback passes.........
I'll be back........................

Dax Moys 30in30 challenge.....
Felt a bit bad today as I only drank 2 litres of water.....had lots of fruit though which was gr8. Also some avacado and some chicken and a few other ED friendly things.
Today my hubby commented that the slight dark circles I had under my eyes were starting to fade away and I began to wonder if this was down to my change in diet?? Was the sugar and all the other crap I was consuming messing with my skin that much?? All i could say/think is wow..what u put in really does manifest itself physically...whether it be dark circles, moodiness, fatigue, bad skin, etc etc...
I was reading a little of my husbands, 'Body for Life' book by.....(ok i can't be asked to go downstairs and check.....!) Bill something I think...
anywayz..there's a part in there where it says that your physically appearance is a reflection of how you live your life, or something along those lines....
I began to think about this and it is, sooo true....if you're lazy and can't be asked to exercise, cook healthy foods ad take the time to plan what you're putting into your 'temple' then there's a pretty high chance that the way you carry yourself at work, etc is pretty much the same whereby you work to the least of your capacity, you don't push yourself to achieve more and you generally just work to survive and pay the bills etc....
Doing this 30in30 challenge has really forced me to make more of an effort to check what I'm puttng into my body.... i only want to onsume the best of the best...not all that processed rubbish...
I'm already starting to think about what I will reintroduce once the 30 days is over, I know that sugar probably won't be high on the list!
Anyway....thats enough babbling from me.......off to bed now and hopefully my knees will feel alot better tomorrow..............
Night......ange...x

Dax Moys 30in30 Challenge
Day ?? I've lost count!
Well today has been pretty hectic....i woke up late AND slept thru the alarm so didn't do the first exercise....not happy about that.
Drinking 3-4 litres of water is a challenge for me...not because i don't like water, but because of the nature of my job......its not really a good look to be visiting a family because of Child Protection concerns and then asking them if you can use their toilet!!!
My work colleagues think i'm crazy not having any sugar, etc.....but to be honest with you I really enjoy my herbal teas now with no sugar......its gr8!!
After the 30 days I really want to commit to finding out more about nutrition, etc......and way in the back of my mind...deep deep down in my heart.....i think i'd like to take my training more seriously (is that even good english?) and start working towards becoming a Personal Trainer myself........considering where I'm at physically now, maybe thats a bit abitious!
I completed the Dumbell Matrix....and although i wasn't sweating as much as with the Pyramid...i could definetly feel it working..........
Looking forward to my fruit tomorrow....yum........

DAY 11 of Dax Moy's 30 in 30 challenge.....
Woke up this morning feeling really tired as I didn't get much sleep due to the heat.
Did my workout which was pretty slow due to feeling soooo tired.
Weighed myself and was happy to see that I've lost 2lbs including a few extra inches!
Was able to step up the water intake to about 2.5 litres which was good as I can literally feel my system being cleansed by the water and my skin is looking soooo clear.
That Pyramid workout is a killer but I'm glad that I'm able to complete it all in the time allowed!
Really struggling on the snacks though for low carb days....if i see another seed or nut....i will flip...lol lol......
I'm wondering if i will lose 30lbs or if it will just be inches....anyways i'm gonna stick with it so we'll just have to wait and see!!

Dax Moys 30 in 30 challenge.....
Today was not the best.... I was stuck in a meeting for a while trying to deal with a really complex Child Protection Case.
No water.....no snacks......nothing........(i had finished my water earlier)
After the meeting I was starving, thirsty, etc etc...
The workouts were good, however my knees are not luvin that blinkin spiderman at all.
The water consumption could probably be better (currently 2 litres) but i'm scared that i might get caught out on my drive home..lol lol lol...
The weight loss is still a bit slow, but the inches are still going down making it possible for me to fit into some of my old jeans!!

Day 100...lol
Today I worked from home...which was tricky with a one year old around. I had stir fry peppers and mushrooms along with some (2)organic chipolata sausages from M and S.
it tasted ok i guess, but I won't be buying them again and thats the truth.......lol
This no carbs/low carbs malarkey is not for me, but I pushed thru it all the same.......as with the P exercise. The sweat was dripping I tell u!!
Still feeling tired but definetly feeling stronger. Weight stayed the same,but lost inches off of the thighs and hips.....

Dax Moys 30in30
hey guys....
today started off quite well, although I didn't wake up until 11am.
I did the new exercise and quite enjoyed it actually. My weight is the same today although I have lost inches on the waist etc..
Received some bad news this evening (don't worry not bereavement) so I missed the last two workouts as i've only just got home, with a pounding headache...
God willing i'll be back on track tomorrow.
This 'wave' element of the programme is quite difficult....I really really want some fruit...but i must be strong, lol lol...
anyways...these last two late nights are probably the cause of tiny bits of weight loss...so i'm off!

Look at the time!! i should be in bed sleeping, but I went to the cinema this evening and got back late....that Terminator film isn't too gr8...
Anywayz.....
Today i was shocked to learn that I had lost a pound, despite the visit from Aunt Flo..
I also lost an inch off my waist and half an inch round the thighs!!!
Feeling a bit stronger and more flexible and my skin is looking gr8!!!
The low carbs was a struggle today as my snacks are normally fruit and we're can't have any!
I really need to get some shopping tomorrow....

I'm so exhausted i couldn't even type the full title....lol lol
Well today wasn't a gr8 day as, 'The Woman in the Red Dress' made an appearance this morning.. confused? What i mean is, its that time of the month!
I felt so heavy and sluggish, but still managed to increase my densities on the meltdown exercises....as for the weight.....its still the same 203lbs....its been stuck there since Monday or Tuesday I think. I'm not too bothered by that at the moment as I'm sure that it has something to do with fluid retention or something.
Saying that, I'm anticipating an increase in weight for tomorrows weigh in, due to this poxy water retention story.
So what have I learnt today?
Planning and preparation of what I'm gonna eat it VITAL
In Encouraging others, you encourage yourself
Giving up isn't really an option
Other people r following my blog, so I better fix up and be an example......!!

Day 4 of Dax Moy's 30lbs in 30 days challenge
Well today, i didn't lose any weight.....i lost inches but not weight. I was not a happy bunny.
So what did i do? I bought some chocolate muffins, told Dax and got a 'roasting'......
However, the roasting, was given in love and I pulled myself together!
The headache has gone, my skin looks clearer and I AM making slow, but steady progress.....
As my mum would say (in a jamaican accent) 'Patient man ride donkey!'
Despite my moment of 'madness' in Sainsbury's this morning, after adding up the figures from this mornings meltdown and comparing the times for the circuits it would appear that I'm getting a bit stronger!
Push Ups 104 (+16)
Squats 86 (+ 8)
Shoulder Press 97 (+ 35)
Step Back 59 (+ 7)
SMan 54 (+ 7)
Step Thru 39 (+ 4)
Curl Press 53 (+ 9)
Squats 82 (+ 14)
Circuits
1) 1.21
2) 1.28
3) 1.20
Not too shabby at all!
I learnt today that I have to be patient with myself and that I can't watch other people's progress and compare it to mine....we're all different and respond differently for goodness sake!
Anyway thats all for today, I am shattered......
The Programme is hard, Dax is a hard task master (and thats without even meeting him!) but it will all be worth it in the end!!!
c-ya!
