I Put the Ass in Assessment!

Saturday 14th May 2011

Oh what a week!!  It has been full of challenges and lurgies and exercise and I made it through the other end with a big smile on my face and my mind still in tact (well as in tact as it was before!) lol.  I can't believe so much can happen when Blogger isn't working!! 

I had my assessment at the gym on Thursday which produced pretty tragic results (no surprises there though).  It probably didn't help that I went with my super fit mate who has an awesome bod.  It did however give me a point to start with.  The old me would've been so depressed with my results that I probably would've given up then and there on the spot because it would've been too hard!  I wasn't always one to give up so easily but I really did wear myself down over the past few years I forgot where I had hidden my inner stubborness.

With my new program and assessment I was ready to conquer the fitness world!  Then of course Murphy had to come and stick his law in front of my face and I woke up on Friday morning with the lurgy.  Instead of just staying at home and whinging about how awful I felt, I still went and did a light workout at the gym so I didn't lose my momentum.  I am so proud that I pushed myself to still go, even if I couldn't do a full workout at least I kept moving (albeit very slowly!).

This morning it was so nice to have a lazy morning breakfast with some of my lovely old workmates.  We decided that since this was the first year in a long time that we didn't have to be up before the sun to get ready for the big annual sale that we would celebrate by having a leisurely breakfast together.  I didn't follow my diet at all and went all out with an awesome brekky (choc full of calories).  I can't see how all our laughter didn't scare off at least half of the calories!! 

This lurgy is still hanging about but I am determined to not let it keep me down.  I may not be able to go hard at the gym but I will keep on moving anyway!  I have caught the fitness bug and I am keen to be able to get back into my skinny clothes!
