Cravings!


Eeek I'm battling some huge hormonal cravings and mood swings this week! Yesterday I got sooo hungry after lunch that I had to bring the next two meals forward. Found a little easter egg chocolate in my desk drawer at work the other day, and wouldn't you know it, it made its way into my tummy this afternoon. aaaaggggghhhhrrrr! Naughty naughty me! Apart from this I have been doing well this week.

Trained back and biceps on Tuesday, felt good because I increased some of my weights and felt pretty strong. I still feel like I'm lifting 'baby weights' sometimes and I want to lift heavier! I always lift to failure, but sometimes it feels like my progress is agonisingly slow! I know that everyone is different, and what's heavy for me may be fairly easy for someone else (and vice versa) but I want to be stronger!!!! Patience, patience!!!

This morning was freezing again - 5 degrees! Thats just a prelude for next week when I go to Melbourne. Then I'll know what winter is all about. This morning before 7am I went out to the garden to water our 25 new plants (in my still-damp gym clothes), and when I came in I felt like my hands had frostbite - they felt like chunks of ice! lol! And its not even winter yet!!!!

Yesterday I had coffee with Rae and Jadey before Rae left to go home. It was so lovely to get a bit of time to catch up with them away from all the excitement of the comp. Tried to get a couple of photos but unfortunately my camera batteries kept going flat... grrrrrr!!!!! Rae had to take a photo with her phone. Both Rae and Jadey are absolutely gorgeous girls, and as lovely as I thought they would be!!!! I'm so happy that I got to spend a little time with them before Rae left, and hopefully Jadey and I can catch up more often, now that we know each other!

Anyway, time for me to start dinner I guess!

Hi Lia... mmm I love my chocolate! Sorry to say that it wasn't very good chocolate, but I think I needed the sugar.

Thanks Michelle! Yeah its been one of those weeks unfortunately!

Hi Rachel. It really was a good weekend. I'm so glad I made it to my first comp! I'm on the southside of Brisbane, at Shailer Park.

Alicia - these chocolate cravings are a pain arent they? Great news that you managed to stay strong!

Thanks Ali... it was such a blast to meet everyone!

Hi Deb! Dont encourage me woman!! Once I start I have trouble stopping!!!!

Thanks Kat! Well that one little bit of chocolate set off a bit of an eating splurge myself actually! - putting that behind me now and moving on!

Thanks Mandy! It was a great experience going to the comp, cant wait til the next one. And my lovely dogs... what fabulous training partners they are! They never complain!

I thought the same about you sweetie... I hope I didn't overwhelm you too much with my "Mile-a-minute mouth" ... I just get so excited about meeting people, especially great ones like you that I have known for a while over the internet and finally get to meet in person... it can be a bit daunting for some people... LOL!! Love Rae xxx
