Day 87 - Tired

Tried to get up early to do skips and super sets this morning however, I turned off the alarm and slept for another hour. I was tired as I didn't really get to bed until after 1am and Max needed three feedings during the night. Poor little sausage is cutting his molars and I am sure it is painful.

So I started the skipping at 7:15 rather than 6:15 and I thought if I rushed through everything I could get through the workout as well before we had to leave the house. I abandoned that idea about half way through the first set of trips skips as I had two left feet, both made o' lead this morning. I tripped and spluttered my way through both sets of 9 minutes. It was a pretty pathetic effort and I only had around 1600 on the counter.

I really wanted to get the workout done this morning as after work we are off to a party at the embassy and we probably won't get home until after 9pm. So I am in for a late workout tonight after Max is in bed - Shouganai. At least it is Friday!!

Back on the menu this morning were breakfasts burritos. I haven't had one for about a month and didn't realise how much I missed them. I had some tortillas out last night as I made chicken and salad wraps for dinner. The boys had the tortillas and I used lettuce for mine and it was a total PCP win. There were a few tortilla's left over so I snaffled one for breakfast.

Didn't bring lunch today so I am planning on a Subway turkey and veg sandwich as they seem to have the healthiest fast food lunch options. In keeping with the wrap theme, it looks like they have some yummy wraps on the menu too that would be lighter on the carbs than the breadrolls. I will decide when the time comes. It will be nice to eat somebody else's food for a change.

Extra cardio is back and forth to daycare four times as usual but on foot (briskly) rather than by bus. Weight is hovering around the 71kg mark. Unlikely now that I will get to see a 6 in these numbers before Day 90 but I am feeling thinner. I should hope so as I am now lugging around 12.5 less kilos on my carcass. Everybody has commented how noticeable it is and how much fitter and healthier I am looking.

  1. Day 85 pictures are looking fabulous Tracey. You have so much on your plate and feeding Max numerous times in the middle of the night can't help. You are doing so superbly well. Hope that you had fun at the embassy.

  2. 1600 skips is still a good number. Don't be caught with tunnel vision and just remember day 1 skipping. What was your number then? Also 12.5 kg's is amazing and just look at the new Tracey from day 1 Tracey. Pictures say it so well. We all need to pat ourselves on the back and say well done to ourselves. 3 more days till we get to scream - "WE DID IT!"

  3. TRACY! YOUR PICTURES ARE AMAZING! (yes I'm shouting) You look freaking fab! I love that you refer to Max at the "Little Sausage" I refer to one of my clients as the "Little Asshole" not quite the same though :o) Well done Lady you should be so proud!

  4. Kim and I were just checking out your pics again.. astonishing strides. The changes definitely make you look younger too. How does hubbalicious feel about a new younger lady in his life?

    Good to read your note about breakfast burritos as I haven't made one of those in a while and really enjoyed them when I did... Will have to give it a go again.

    Don't know how I feel about referring to the little guy as "little sausage". What will happen if you get a hunger craving? Sausage is delicious in breakfast burritos, by the way...
