14th - 20th November ...

What has this little sweat junkie been up to this week?

Just a bit of this:

Monday:             REST 

Tuesday:              6am road ride coppins crossing {791cals} + exceed swim squad 

Wednesday:       6am ride class with Amy + PT with Slater

Thursday:           REST

Friday:                  6am road ride 3 x Red Hill repeats ... yuk !! 

Saturday:             REST > weekend down the coast for a wedding

Sunday:                REST > weekend down the coast for a wedding

WOWSERS... there are quite a lot of rest days in there... which accounts for me not feeling so great.

Okay, yes... my daughter was home from school with shingles this week :( Poor baby is much better now, but it was pretty awful there for a bit, and of couse I could not take her to the gym creche.

Still... I could have done a 6am workout each morning.

Me and rest days do not make a great combination.

I need to get more organised to be able to reach my goals.

Simple truth.

Peace Out.

7th November - 13th November...

This week was a week where the evil Mish also challenged us to burn 1000 calorie + THREE times this week. Mean isnt she!

Monday:               PT with Fiona = 500

Tuesday:               6am road ride {518cals} + 930 ride class (532 cals) = 1050 

Wednesday:        6am ride class [427 cals] + PT with Slater (300 cals) = 727

Thursday:            6am ride class (494) + 930 ride class (561 cals) = 1055 

Friday:                   6am road ride = 525 

Saturday:               6am road ride, 30 mins = 300 

Sunday:                20km road ride race = 537 - now, I could try for another 500+ workout here, instead I opt for a picnic in the park with the family & my husband not being pissed off with me!

I've felt this week, that's for sure. I feel a bit run down actually... & trying hard to give my body what it needs. A little rest & recovery time.

Would nice to be here doing so:

So I only made 2 outta 3 of Mish's 3 x 1000+cal workout challenge. I'm cool with that, I had a pretty good week, and happy with my Sunday road ride race with Tour de Femme.

Love out

31st October - 6th November...

Monday:        PT with Fiona, hard and fun.

Tuesday:        RIDE class with Mel, HARd!!

Wednesday:    20km road ride with IronMum then PT with Slater - hard!

Thursday:        1.5km swim then RIDE class.

Friday:                30km bike ride - Coppins Crossing

Saturday:        1km swim... flu taking hold of me :( coldsore has appeared!

Sunday:            played around in the gym and pool at Marriot in Pitt Street... but really was not a                             workout as such, so this turned out to be a rest day.

Workouts this week have been solid... until Saturday when fatigue started to set in. Today I have PT with Fiona, missed my early morning water running session to catch some extra zzzzz's.

Hoping this flu thing that is lurking... leaves real quick.

Nutrition wise, things are going great guns... and aside from not being able to really smash myself in a workout right now... looks that I will definitely meet, and even exceed, my goals for this round of 12WBT. 

Love Out.

24th - 30th October 2011...

A few new {old} things added to my week, like my return to water running. Yah!

Mon            Water Running

Tues            1km swim

Wed            20km road ride

Thurs        20km road ride

Frid            REST day

Sat               1km swim & 10km road ride

Sun            Rest

A bit of a slack week really, didnt do either PT session, for one reason or another. Had a bit of a emotional melt down about not being able to run. STILL. It's been 11 weeks now, and I am really missing it.

Not the end of the world tho, and there is plenty more I CAN do...this week I can add sitting out to the saddle to my road rides, so long as I stay up for a while. AND I can also do SPIN classes, so long as I stay in the saddle. No upsy-downsy every two seconds, as that's were the strain will be put onto my Adductor.

THis week I am going to try fit in a lot more training.

Happy Training.

9th - 16th October 2011...

So what did I get up to this week? Mmmmm, not much I'm afraid!

Sunday 9th Oct:    2.5km swim with peanut

Monday 10th Oct:    Nadda

Tuesday 11th Oct:    1.5km Swim

Wednesday 12th Oct:    PT with Slater, Tabata & drop sets upper body. OUCH!

Thursday 13th Oct:    Rest

Friday 14th Oct:        1.5 km swim with peanut

Saturday 15th Oct:    1.5km swim with peanut + 20km road ride

Sunday 16th Oct:    20km road ride

Slowly but surely I am able to mix my program up a bit. I found this week to be a tough one... physically and mentally.

Physically... there is only so much you can do when ONLY working your upper body, and I had to take an unplanned rest day due to, just too much, too sore... needed rest.

Mentally, that made me frustrated, sad, angry... all of those feelings. Thankfully it didn't last long, and now I am back on my bike... me is happy happy again.

Happy Training.

3rd Oct - 8th Oct 2011...

This week I got up to the following:

Monday 3rd Oct (public holiday):    1.5km swim with snorkle and peanut

Tuesday 4th Oct:            1.5km Swim with peanut

Wednesday 5th Oct:        PT with Paul, weights upper body

Thursday 6th Oct:            1.5km Swim with peanut

Friday 7th Oct:                1.5km Swim with peanut

Saturday 8th Oct:            Rest day.

I am finding my nutrition pretty easy to stick with and I am sure sure it's everything to do with my limited exercise ability.

Right now, with my injury... my only real option is to swim with a pool buoy between my knees (just above)... so I am up at 0511am each morning to get a 1.5km swim in.

I'm actually really enjoying it... I see it as a challenge = blessing.

Happy Training.

Sweat Once a Day...

Here's a recap of my sweating activities in this past week:

Sunday:          Yoga and 10km rode ride (first time out on White Knight) fun!

Monday:         RIDE class +  PT session with Fiona.

Tuesday:        20km rode RIDE + RIDE class.

Wednesday:    RIDE class + PT with Slater + Yoga.

Thursday:        RIDE class & rest.

Friday:               RIDE class & rest.

Saturday:        Bak-2-back RIDE classes.

Sunday:            Yoga.

I've been working pretty hard lately, enjoying myself with my RIDE classes, since I can't run right now.

But you know what... I'm not allowed to ride anymore either :)

So I am not sure how I am going to get my sweat on for the next two weeks, but you can be sure I will be trying my darnest!!

At this stage of my injury rehabilitation... I can only swim with a buoy, do core and upper body.

So I am going to create a circuit and time myself. Challenge myself to get some calories burned. Each evening I'll do an hour session at the pool.

AND  I will have to eat SQUEEKY CLEAN!!!

Hopefully I'll have a killer core and ability to do the swim leg of a triathlon (mini) by the end of the two weeks.

How about you? How's your week of sweat on gone?
