Detours BODY

I was in the gym doing delts and tri’s and a guy who I’ve become quite pally with offered to assist and boy did I love it. I never knew that intense training could ..well be intense. I’ve always trained hard (or tried to, to the best of my ability) but having someone push you and talk to you, make you force out reps and tell you the pain is only in your mind etc… I loved it. That is defo what I need to reach my personal goals let alone my competing one. I sooo feel that today alone has shaped me some wicked arms and all I have to do is eat sleep and grow!

I couldn’t get my pixie into the creche on monday or tuesday because of limited spaces so I woke up earlier than usual to do my cardio, came back and had breakfast at around 5:30am, waited for that to settle before I took my new training buddy superpump 250 (love it!) and then hit the gym at around 7am. Monday was legs and tuesday was back. Two days in a row of intense exercise so early in the morning burnt me out. I was so miserable yesterday I just wanted to sleep but my daughter being 18 months just wanted to play! I feel real bad for not playing enough with her but if I can’t get her in the creche then I get no workout for the day so I have to get up extra early to fit it all in so that I can spend the day with her. I overslept this morning because I was soooo tired and didn’t get to do my morning cardio until 7am, it’s normally done between 4:30 and 5:30am! Luckily for me she goes to the childminders on Weds - fridays so I have some time to go to the gym when  I like  (well a 6 hour window of  opportunity). Anywho, I’m really quite achey today and need more sleep and am making a real big effort to make sure I get to bed at a reasonable time tonight which means giving madam a slightly earlier bath and getting dinner going while she’s being washed - thank god for ovens! - And hopefully my belly will be full at a decent hour and I’m not going to bed on a full stomach of food and liquid.. I know I should leave time for food to digest before bedding but who has time for that when you have things up to your armpits to do!  She’s just woken up better go get her and get on with folding the clothes and putting another load on and and and….
