Its Been A While

Understatement.

So ... !

Lost has changed, lots hasn't and I am in a pretty good head-space right now.

I'm body building and LOVING it - like not just ordinary heart-dinking-off-head kinda love, but full on raging-passion-burning-desires-jam-fancies-and-peanut-butter love.  I never knew my body was so capable let alone so co-operative.  I give myself a little pat on the back each day because it is an amazing and very rewarding journey.  Albeit painful at times but dudes, I have googies on my arms!!  AND pokey-outey pec things on my chest, ALSO 4 little rectus abdominus are trying to poke their lovely wee heads out of my belly fat.  There is joy.  There are still no glutes and my ass needs a lot of work, but baby steps chickadee's.  My buns of steel are being targeted tomorrow in the PM so if you are local you can expect to see an incredibly well dressed (and stylish if I do say so myself) sweetie walking like she has a malley root up her patooey.

It has taken the old hardcore weight lifting guys a while to get used to seeing a floral smelling, pink bit o'fluff wandering about in their section but I have secured my position amongst the lads.  Most of them offer advice now and help while making idle chit-chat about lifting injuries and goals.

Eventually when I have stripped a bit more lard off this secksy bod I will put up some pictures so you can see me transform myself into a beige condom full-o-walnuts ---- watch this space!

Weight loss -  there has been plenty, not an abundance but enough to keep me out of lipo's way.  This morning I weighed in at 60.8kgs.  I would have liked to be 59.8kgs for my birthday Friday but I have just had a big loss so it is unrealistic.  Still, all week I shall twiddle my hair at my desk while I daydream of my trusty Tanita scales showing me some 50's action in some freaky twist of universal fate.  Might throw some really wicked DOMS into the fantasy just for pure pleasure .. ahhhhhhh

My secret weapon is clean eating, low to moderate carb, higher fat and protein.  Also still having 5 - 6 meals per day but I couldn't tell you much more than that because I had to stop tracking.  I was obsessed with calories and macro's so I just took a holiday to Perth for a week (where I ate for Africa) and totally relaxed about the whole thing, then kept that attitude when I came home.  After all I don't have the courage to compete so if I take a bit longer to get to goal it isn't really going to affect anything or anyone.

******************************

The job is happening.  I am about number 12 on the intake list and intakes start again in August.  This doesn't mean I leave in August it just means I move up the list.  I have a job, it's just going to be a case of waiting - the thing I suck most at on this planet.  It's not so bad though because at least I have plenty of time to finish my Cert III in Health & Fitness and maybe even go on to do Cert IV.   I have been promised a pink hard hat, purple work boots and  have been buying pink explorer socks for work.  I might be covered in red dirt and  muck up there but I will be making it look good.  Unfortunately haul packs don't come in PINK - heathen bastards. Gosh don't they know we girls are driving them too?  I have done some test runs for basic make-up application and I have it down to 8 minutes, I still reckon I can knock a couple more minutes off it with practice and determination.

The family are all excellent.  Kiddies growing, puberties happening, girlfriends, kisses, tantrums and phone bills - love every second of it.  I'm a mum.  C is awesome too, he has just enjoyed his holidays so much this time around he has been a pleasure to be around.

That about wraps it up - need to go eat and have coffee before my head explodes
