OnTheRoad’s BodyBlog

Have been going very well lately, great workouts and a good ratio of weights and cardio. My cardio is dropping off whilst my lifting is getting heavier and I am getting stronger.

Have adjusted my days as I found I wasn’t working my abs enough and often can’t get to the gym on Sat or Sun these days. I am now doing my abs and cardio on Wed (formally my day off) and taking a much needed break on Sat and Sun after my killer leg day on Friday. Basketball on Sunday night is a killer for the 1st few minutes but then feels better

Eating is getting better. Sleeping well and feeling so exhausted - that should settle once Xmas is over and settling into new house is over…..

Enjoying the hard core gym lots more than my free fitness centre, even the personal trainers there are friendly and approachable. Can’t let up on my lifting at the moment it seems to be the only thing keeping me sane…

LOL…Man..I am sore today after my leg and a$$ workout yesterday. I can’t get in and out of car, sit on the toilet or walk with a major struggle. Don’t know how I am going to play basketball tomorrow??

I don’t know what my trainer was doing in Russia….I train myself now and have major DOM’s every day depending on what body part worked. Was he not pushing me enough or am I pushing myself too hard..I don’t care because my body is changing fast at the moment and I am loving it!!!

People are commenting on how healthy I look and I am lapping it up…lol

Shoulders and basketball tomorrow…I love working my shoulders and I love the look of good shoulders on a woman!

Eating still very, very bad. No junk but ratios are very off….can’t someone come and cook for me?? If I was Oprah I would be set!

Bruising all gone on my face just my ego left…

Well I promised to tell you all about my accident at the gym. So I am having the worst morning of all…you know the ones..dropping everything, blender leaked, kids not good, school run bad! I drop the kids off and get to the gym, now, here in Aust I go to 2 gyms…a local one (more fitness centre) that is free and a hard core one that is $4 a pop.

Anyway I am at the hard core one and whilst setting up my bench press…yes, chest and tri day, lying down my hand accidentally brushed the bar and due to the supports being short…the bar fell on my face!!!!!!! OMG I really didn’t know what had happened but soon knew when the pain started. Fortunately I was just about to warm up and only had the light bar with 10kgs on it. I am so grateful I didn’t have my 30kgs on…I am sure I would have broken my nose and cracked my eye socket.

Anyway pride damaged…I think I must have been concussed because I finished a half hearted workout…the headache was intense…and went home to cry and apply ice!! Of course within a day my black eyes started and after that the bruising around the nose and eyebrow…..I looked lovely!!! lol

So the next time I am ready to bench I start talking myself into a dumbell press but decided to face my fear and get under the bar….. but be more careful!!!

That was 2 weeks ago……my face looks better…

Today was leg day…lunges, squats, extension, curls and hyperextensions……knackered myself so completely a run or even a fast walk after was fruitless…..

Still eating badly, things here are settling a little, time to put myself in front for a while

Hi Everyone

Well the move happened and I have been slogging it out by myself for the last few weeks by myself. I have never been so grateful for my strength as I have been moving furniture everywhere and up and down stairs…no husband to help (he is in Moscow until July 08). The kids are at school, dog here, cats coming and I have been going to the gym very regularly.

I am astounded I have been so intense still with my workouts, still lifting hard and enjoying it all so much. My eating is completely off as I am not in a routine at the moment..that will come. I have lost some weight due to missed meals and not sitting down all day and night, gym and dog walking and running. Still I have the energy and I plan to slow down very soon, sit back and pat myself on the back…I really didn’t know what was involved and I did it!

Next blog I will write about an accident I had at the gym…..can’t be bothered now…just wanted to say "HI" to everyone!!
