Parkruns and things

This week I did my 6th parkrun which I managed to finish in 48 minutes which I'm proud of but is still not my personal best (Which is sitting on just under 45 minutes) - I must say I have absolutely no idea how I get to my personal best!!

On Friday I did the circuit at the gym for the 1st time I must say that they do not give you nearly enough time to figure out how to work each machine and then test out the weight that you would need to use and use the equipment before the dreaded red light flashes again. I will rather just do my own thing when there is few people around so I can time myself.

This weekend I prepared for my healthy week, I bought frozen veggies, chicken and pork sausages (home made with no nasites) I shall be tackling this next 4 weeks head on. I've given myself 4 weeks to get my arse in gear and be healthy again, summer is looming and I want to fit into my pretty skirts again.

Today I tried the Supashape Chocolate protein shake which is supposed to be "silky smooth" but actually just tastes like canderel thrown into a bottle of milk, I will much rather stick to my own cocoa shakes that tastes yummy. I went as far as to create a Dinner Menu for the week so I can stick to the plan and when I get home from work or gym there's no excuses to make dinner (those normally consist of *I have no idea what to make for dinner*)

I am planning on doing a shape class today again and will see how my legs are after that I might go exercise on the bikes a bit before I head home. Gym is a pretty good distraction for me lately which I'm guessing is a good thing.

Tomorrow is weigh and measure day! Yikes
Hoping things haven't gotten too bad.

Enjoy the rest of your day lovlies

Friday... is that you? o.0

So I never made it into the woman walk on Wednesday and haven't been to gym all week, my scooter is still broken sadly. Today I am definitely going to break a sweat. Cardio and circuit here I come!!! 

I have spent some of the morning doing some research on transplants and kidney donation and found that there is possibly a way to do a kidney and partial pancreas transplant which would be awesome if that could be done so Tams diabetes wouldn't be as bad as it is now. The only problem is the only hospital that does this is in Johannesburg and I'm guessing is going to be quite expensive. We finally got an appointment with the transplant doctor which is good news seen as last month I had to wait almost a month for an appointment, seems there is many people getting transplants.

My eating has been up and down today I have been craving bread like nobodies business and so I gave in and had some bread with my meat balls. I cannot wait till payday so I can buy another shake I miss my chocolatey goodness. I have no idea how people drink water when it is so cold out it just makes me even more cold when I do drink water, I'm much preferring my coffee and tea, even an app on my phone never helped me get my required amount of water in every day. 

I recently saw a post on FB where somebody was asking for help to fund their dogs operation which made me sad when I read some peoples comments (1 in particular) saying it's not right to be asking for financial help because we are supposed to budget blah blah. 

This made me think of all the times when Tam had her 1st transplant we had fundraisers because the bills were just pilling up. I really think people are wrong thinking like that. If you do not want to help just don't pay attention to it. 

We as a family never asked to be in the situation where my sister needs a new kidney because she got a disease that's a little bit hard to handle and seeing the way she is when she comes off dialysis is horrible enough to want to take it away and do anything to make it better. So yes I decided when we got the news that she could have a new transplant that I would give her that kidney she needs, why should money have to stop me from helping her, maybe it's selfish of me to want to keep her around (and healthy) for longer so we have more time together. 

Just something I have to think of... 

Have an awesome weekend all. If anybody is reading this.

Shape my what?!?

I realise it's been a month, and I've been super lazy to write anything but finally I have some good news. Turns out to be a donor my BMI only has to be 30 which is awesome because I am currently sitting on 31.

I want to get it to be 28 or something close to that just to be on the safe side and with December looming I finally joined the gym.

I have been doing classes mostly and the weekly parkruns which  I must say so myself I am killing, all under 50 minutes each week. The class I enjoy the most is the Shape class that really gets you sweating but wow last weeks class was hectic I ended up hurting my back, so trying Pilates (I will admit I was a bit skeptical how playing around on a mat will help my back heal) helped a lot and gave my abs a good work out.
Unfortunately my scooter decided to be a little red cow and lose her start button so I cannot get to gym tonight to do another round of classes or to work up sweat in any other way.

I even entered the Adidas womans walk but I never made the cut but will go to gym and walk those 3kms on the treadmill or cycle them. 

My eating is coming right slowly (excluding this weekend) veggies and meats are the choice for most dinners and salads for lunch at work, I've even started making yummy smoothies for breakfast. 

Anywho guess I should get back to work and earn my salary :/ 

Have a sexy day lovelies

Tuna Muffins

These taste so good and are quite filling.

1 tin of tuna in water
1 medium sweet potato
1 egg

1. Boil the sweet potato and mash when it's soft
2. Mix the tuna and sweet potato
3. Mix in the egg
4. Scoop into a muffin tray and cook in the oven for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 180*

Failure is nothing

So I noticed I haven't written in a while. I tried the reboot, I failed on day 9 so Monday is the start of attempt no. 2, and I am going to try harder this time.

I was told that I'm horrible to live with when I was on Reboot due to the lack of sugar I'm guessing. I'm not normally horrible :/ I was even snappy *snap snap*

The cold weather isn't very helpful, all I want to do is eat. I've taken this last week off and have eaten what I feel like eating which is really good but I have noticed that some foods make me feel horrible.

I'm stuck between doing reboot or trying to get my head right for the Herbalife again seen as I had lost so much weight before I know I can do it again I just need to keep to it. I have to get myself sorted before December. I suppose reboot is only 30 days so I can always do the shakes again after I have finished the Reboot.

Hmmm decisions decisions!

Day 19 and so on!

So... it looks like I haven't written in a while! I do give my apologies I am been a little bit lazy!

Today I signed up for the Rondebosch park run on Saturday which I am quite looking forward to.

This week I have been eating quite well, my dad fixed my treadmill so I can finally exercise at home and do my muscle challenge which I have been neglecting a tiny bit.

I've made a few salads recently and eating avos like its nobodies business.

I am determined to start reboot on Monday and I haven't been drinking sugar in my coffee. Now just to cut the milk out... YIKES!!!

Today I ate the following...
Breakfast:
Herbalife shake with milk

Snack:
Bacon and egg muffin with green tea

Lunch:
Herbalife Shake with water

Snack:
3 Provita crunchy vites and coffee

Dinner:
Tuna and avo with tomato

Day 18

Today wasn't a bad day. I had a small cheat of a cupcake and had a salad for lunch. I even had enough juice to concoct a dinner.

Today I ate
Breakfast:
Herbalife shake with milk

Snack:
Banana and tea

Lunch:
Tossed salad with meatballs

Dinner:
My interesting omlette with leftiver meat balls.

Going to do my days exercise and be happy :)
