Friday 6th May

Did so well last week and made it to the gym 4 times! This week however has been an absolute joke and I have the flu, plus a double ear infection plus maybe conjunctivitis now. My body has given up. Rude. Anyway. Bed and sleep and hopefully some healing soon for me.

Friday 29th April

Made it to the gym this morning and finished the 3rd day of week 2 for my couch to 5k. Thank god for gym dates with Jaz or I would not have been able to get out of bed this morning. Just had a lovely shower and shaved my legs and am just about to make some yummy teriyaki chicken for lunch / dinner. One more stupid PM shift at work then got the weekend off!

Wednesday 27th April

Ok so I worked a night shift last night. Just one which I thought would be all good but I was soooo tired and traffic was horrible on the way home. Took me and hour and a half to get home practically feeling like I was gonna fall asleep the whole way. So on the way home I went to the dairy and got a chocolate bar and some lollies. I don't even know why. I regretted it as soon as I got them and didn't even enjoy eating them but I did anyway. So after a sleep I managed to drag my ass to the gym and for he first time in a long time actually had a really fun workout. Onto week 2 of the couch to 5k and finding it easier each time. Played some awesome music and did some low key lip syncing on the treadmill. Haha. Anyway, me and the lovely Jaz have agreed to do the couch to 5k together and motivate each other to do our 3 sessions a week. Cheers to us being running goddesses.

Tuesday 26th April

Ok ok still trying to haul myself back onto the fitness horse. I am struggling and feel a lot like I am failing over and over but so many things in my life are telling me I need to get it together and get fit and eat better. I weighed myself this morning and I am now 79kg which means I have gained a whole 10kg since this time last year. I also feel blobby and tired all the time. My jeans officially don't fit. They are not just a bit tight / uncomfortable anymore. And mostly I am just unhappy with myself. So today I made it to the gym. I am doing the couch to 5k running programme. Did the first part of week 2, even though it's been about 2 weeks since I did week 1 and I actually found it ok. Maybe even enjoyed it a little. Haha. Have plans to meet Jaz at the gym 2 times this week so hopefully that works out. Anyway, not sure what else to say. Just about to start my night shift so feeling tired and a little defeated. I know I can do this. Just need to pull it together.

Wednesday 6th April

Ok ok ok ok ok. I know I have been saying this for a year but trying again to get back on the fitness horse. Went to the GP for my pill script the other day and turns out I have gained 10kg in the year since I started working. Shift work is ruining me! Anyway, GP was not happy and gave me a big talking to which was actually really helpful. So I am trying to really smash into the fitness this week and get as wedding ready as I can (I am being a bridesmaid on the 30th so I know there isn't enough time to make a big difference but I know I can make myself feel better before then, even if I don't look much different) and then hopefully after that I will be a bit more into the pattern. 

Boyfriend is in the process of hopefully getting a new job and he has said that if he does then he will join the gym with me! A little nervous about working out with him, just because his legs are so long and I bet he will be one of those jerks who hasn't done any exercise in like 2 years but will just jump on a treadmill and casually run 5k. Anyway, I think it would be really good to have someone to motivate me and hopefully we can get into the habit of going after dinner when I'm not working. 

Been to the gym the last two days and feeling SO MUCH better for it. Cant believe what a difference it has made for my mental health. Just stated the NHS couch to 5k 9 week running programme so hoping to get back to where i was in terms of running fitness. 

Thats all for now, big day tomorrow with my midwifery standards review in the morning (my first!) and then a whole shift. Gonna be a busy week but will do my bestest to fit my fitness into there too. 

Night all, so looking forward to getting back into it and being a part of this fitness community again. Prepare for the sweaty selfies.

Thursday 28th Jan 2016 (I'm baaaaack)

Okie dokie so after like a year long break I have returned and am going to get fit again. Heaps has changed, I started working as a real life midwife ( working out while also working shift work is not easy / fun), met the love of my life and shall soon be moving in with him! And also lost all my fitness and gained back some weight. But anyway, trying to get back on the horse. Managed a 3km run on Tuesday which I was very proud of cause hadn't run in forever. It was slow and hard and horrible and I walks lots I between running but I did it. Today went to the gym after work and smashed out 30 mins of hard work, had sweat running down my face. It felt so good and I pushed past all my little goals. Why can't every workout feel like that?!? Hoping to get to the gym again after work tomorrow but shall see what the workday brings. Sometimes I am just so emotionally drained from work / exhausted from walking up and down the ward. Cheers to getting back to it and back to a strong body that I can be proud of not this sluggish one I have not.

Sunday 26th April

Sooo I did make it for a sweet bush walk on Friday. Me an Josie went and smashed out 2 hours of hills, mud and creek crossings. It was the perfect day for it and I felt very tired but so good after. 

Yesterday was ANZAC day so I got up and went to the Dawn Service for the first (and probably only) time ever and then we basically slept all day to recover.

Today has been a super lazy day so far watching AHS but I have just managed to get my washing on and hopefully will be able to drag my ass to the gym to make up for my terrible eating this weekend before heading to a party tonight. And if not who cares. Will kick ass next week instead.

Thursday 23rd April

Pretty satisfying day today. Slept in for ageeees and then had a relaxing morning / actually it was pretty much mid day by the time I got up. Anyway, managed to get my shit together and finally clean my car which had not been cleaned in 3 years since I got it and let me fucking tell you it damn needed it. It took me like 2 full hours to scrub the dirt off him. That was pretty much a damn workout and I was sweating hard the whole time. Despite that I managed to make it to the gym tonight which I am VERY proud of because I 1000% could not be fucked. And I don't know what it was (maybe the chocolate milk I shared with Ma before I went) but I killed it tonight. Did 35 mins on the treadmill alternating running and speed waking up and incline and I just felt like I could keep going. I was sweating hard and it felt so good. It even ran into my eyes and burned a little. And you know what? I freaking loved it. Sweating makes me feel strong. So all showered and happy now. Planning a big bush walk tomorrow so I will try and include photos! Goodnight all xxx P.s oh I got Instagram too. feel free to follow if you feel like you need more of my selfies in your life for some reason @cush_la

Tuesday 21st April Yaaaay made it to the gym again today then came home and made delicious burritos for dinner. Feeling so full and good right now. Legs are a bit shocked about getting back into the exercise though! Tomorrow I have to suss the last of my blood tests for work then hopefully I can relax about it for a bit until I start. Sigh! Anyway, good workout tonight. Sweat all of the sweat and felt strong.

Monday 20th April

Big day today! Went to the hospital I will be working at for the first time ever and signed my contract. Felt very all grown up and also 100% terrified. So glad I have good friends going through all the same stuff as me. Sorted out all my annoying paperwork (I think) but I think I will still need some more blood tests to prove that I am immune to a bunch of stuff. Got Instagram finally. Follow me if you wish @cush_la All I can promise is endless selfies. Aaannnndd I even made it to the gym. Did a hard out 30 mins on the treadmill and sweat my ass off. Legs are feeling it now. Stressful but satisfying day.

Monday 20th April

Argh sorry I have been terrible at posting / doing any exercise lately. I have also been eating all the foods. It's a little annoying because it's the holidays and I really wanted to use this time to work on my fitness but I also think a big part of me needed to stay in bed for an entire weekend. Anyway, I finally dragged myself to the gym yesterday and managed a 40min treadmill workout which alternated between sprinting, running and walking on an incline. It was hard as fuck but actually kind of fun too. But I really felt the difference of not being there for a while. My running endurance is so shit at the moment. Trying real hard to get back into 4 workouts a week. I have been noticing the changes in my body backsliding and I have not been sleeping as well and I am breaking out so bad. Need to get back into it!
