The Positive Side of a Guilty Mind

Tuesday morning I woke with the very prominent thought in my mind I would walk the dog and that would be it for the day. Yep my training would consist only of walking the dog. 

I was buggered from the previous night and decided that's all I could manage.  I'd worked my afternoon shift and stayed on afterwards to clean my work place for a little over an hour and I deserved a break!

I later in the morning called my friend Tanya B who is also doing the 12WBT and had a chat to her and how she had found the lentil patties in the frozen section of our local store.  We were both quite surprised.

Then she continued to tell me about her previous night, how her sister and nephew were staying over and she was awake a lot of the night but still got up at 5.00am to train and ensure her workout was done.

Well let me tell you, the guilt set in about my thoughts of only taking the dog for a walk because "I was buggered".

I reflected on my internal excuses and realised I think I had used most of the ones I have on my list.....  work, shift work, no time, to busy, to tired, lethargic and I'm sure there would have been a few new ones that I didn't even have down.

By 10am my shoes were on, exercise clothes on, back-pack packed with towel, training schedule and water, put the harness on the dog and off out the door walking to the oval. 

To my surprise when I got to the oval my other half Duncan was there marking out the lines for the school sports day, it was if someone had been looking over me making sure that I was accountable for the day. 

I worked my bum off and managed to burn 426 calories.  A big pat on the back for me and I managed to get the dog walked at the same time.  What a fantastic positive result from my negative start to the morning and the most important thing is I feel great for doing it.

Lets see what I can achieve today! 

Week Two Training Download

Hi all,

I can't believe how fast week two passed!  It was a very full on week with fitting everything in.  Surprisingly I found it a little easier on my afternoon shifts (week one) to get everything done.  The pace of last week was no-stop.

In saying that I did get all my training sessions in which I am wrapped with and below is my summary.

My Home Gym

I've not had a chance to blog for a few days. I've been flat out working, exercising, prepping meals and basically trying to fit everything in. In saying that I did manage to do so.
 
My home gym, yep it started off at my junk room as such as you can see by the below pic of all the clutter and mess.

I truly didn't know where to start but somehow it all happened.  It took me a little bit of time here, a little bit of time there but eventually I had it sorted.

THIS IS MY HOME GYM!

 

 

I know it's nothing flash but let me tell you, it's the place where I've sweated off a few calories this week.

 

 

 

Duncs is doing his weights now and I'm getting my butt into gear doing the 12WBT exercises.  We've got everything we pretty much need in here now.  I even use the bed frame to place my gym gear on and to do towel pulls!

 

 

I've got an old TV in there as well. When I get to a major shopping area (500km round trip away) I might even get a very cheap DVD player to do some exercise videos.

 

 

I'm happy with my room transformation, I just have to work as hard to get my body transformation looking as fabulous.  Here's to uncluttering things besides just my spare room.
