Time flies when you having fun!

Hi all

So sorry for the lack of posting.

No excuses, honesty is the best policy (reading Lia's open and honest post helped), I have just been struggling a bit with various mind games I play with myself.

Had to have a few weeks to gather my thoughts, process my feelings about this journey I want to set out on and check it is really for me.

So here I am, I have offically started my comp prep, a little earlier than planned, 4 weeks extra to be precise.

I had lost control a little a couple of weeks back and needed to be reigned in. The fantasic 'Sarge' seems to have done just that.

So all good in Shar world right now and I will update regularly from here on in.

I have two weeks food prepared, weights sessions are still going well with my hubby and all exericse is planned.

I have a very busy week coming up, we have to launch all the new releases for Group Fitness. My first one being Bodyattack tomorrow night and another launch on Thursday, Bodybalance
tomorrow night, tuesday morning and wednesday morning.

Payroll to do tomorrow, a big new internal audit at work on Thursday, a meeting somtime this wek yet to be confirmed, demo's for FF all next weekend, the list goes on, but I like being busy, I just have to be careful not to get stressed and worked up.

OH yeah!!!!!!!!!

YES YOU READ RIGHT!! I haven't had a PM for 12 days, not one, zero, zilch......I just did it and went cold turkey.

Crunch time...........

I'm still here just, sorry for the lack of posting.

This won't be a long one and I hope to be back to blogging regularly asap.

I'm just having what I would call 'a moment', except it is 'a moment' that
has lasted a week or so.

I have still been reading everyone else's blogs and love to keep up to
date with you all.

Back soon. . . . . . . . . . REMEMBER . . . . . . . .

Di - You were right!!!................................

My first training session with the 'Personal Trainer', my hubby, took place Thursday, chest and shoulders as prescribed by Sam.

Di was soooooo right, training with your partner or hubby can be hard, it took all my might not to cry, scream, shout etc etc, before we started I was told to 'just get on with it'. BUT guess who cannot move her arms in any direction due to my chest being soooooo sore!

I also just did legs, about 4 hours ago and I am so in trouble, soreness starting to creep in already.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! He is now book all the way through to comp!, no questions, training that hard will surely bring results???????????

Have been e mailing with 'SARGE' about various things, one being an addiction I have - sorry, correction, HAD. Please don't gasp in amazement when I tell you !!

This is the honest truth, I was/am addicted to Pepsi Max (PM), drinking around 8 cans per day was normal!
I know, I know, although no sugar, BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD...... I don't drink it because I'm thirsty, I drink 4 litres of water a day for thirst reasons, I drink it due to being addicted to the caffiene and have formed a habit.

So i have been down to 3 per day for the first three weeks and then came the instruction from 'SARGE' to have a maximum of ONE if any!

So this week I thought, lets just kick this no nutritional value, carbonated, coloured, sweetened shit to the curb and try for none but worse case go ONE.

Well, one a day all week, and as yet I haven't had today's BUT headaches, tirdness, craving - pardon the pun - TO THE MAX!!!!!!!! I might see if I can go into PM re-hab! :)

This is a long term habit that was formed about 4 years ago when I did my 'drink diet fizzy drink to fill me up and don't eat' diet, I'm sure you must have heard of it?? Well it worked I drop about 3 stone (19kg?) and of course long term it went back on. I have since carried on drinking it, have had periods where it wasn't as much but before my trip home and whilst we were there I have been drinking about 7-8 per day.

So to sum up I am chuffed I have made it to 1 per day, I'll see if a couple of days next wek I can make it without and weeeeeeeen myself off of the HARD CORE PM.

Anyway, thats about it for now will update soon, with how limited my walking is after todays leg session!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you are all well, have a great weekend, I'll be spending mine with my gorgeous husband and kids, down the beach, Perth is sooo hot right now.

As always THANKS for the comments!
