I am not going to lie, I am really struggling, I have lost motivation for anything.
I know it will come back, am hoping it will be sooner rather than later. I didn't go to the gym today, for no reason except I couldn't be bothered. I wont be going tomorrow, have courier parcels that are arriving in the morning, that I need to be home for (work stuff), I could go after but I wont, so I am not even going to pretend that I am even thinking of going.
I know I never mentioned food in the last post, I did mean too, but somehow just forgot too..... Food is about 60% good, 40% bad, I need to change that around. I have not weighed and am dreading the first weigh in, I know I have gained, I can feel it, and I know not weighing is doing more harm than good.
The pain in my wrist/hand is a little better (I think), but until I do some nails and go back to the gym, I wont really know for sure. I go to the doctor on Friday morning. Tomorrow I plan to spend most of the day in the nail room, reorganising a bit, and swatching all the new stuff that has/is arriving in.
Ok thats the negatives, let's focus on the positives, this weekend, I am going to set up the Christmas tree in the lounge, and hopefully the nail room. Feeling Christmasy might make me feel more positive.
I do plan to go to the gym on Thursday, though a part of me is thinking just start on Monday with a new week, food and exercise wise. I do know the pain in my wrist/hand is playing a huge part in how I am feeling, nerve pain sucks big time. Even just typing this up is causing me to spasm, I need to remember that I am not doing any damage so need to keep using it, no matter how painful. Oh thats right, we are suppose to be talking about the positive ;).
Anyway thats it, catch you later - am really going to try and get into the Christmas spirit this week and that will perk me up :).
Join me on my journey to getting healthier and stronger. in mid 2019, I had surgery on ruptured tendons and to remove the plate and screws in my wrist, which irritated the tendons and caused them to rupture. Join me as I get my fitness back and also start back at doing lower carb way of life :)

Not much happening.....
Since my last post nothing has happened, didn't have a car all week, so have not left the house since Monday. David used my car all week, to be honest I didn't care as my wrist/hand has been playing up. Weather has been wet, cold and just blah all week, so be honest not leaving the house hasn't been too much of an issue.
The wrist/hand is still taped up, it is starting to feel a bit better, nails have been a little difficult to do, but am getting there. It is suppose to rain all week again, which I am sure is not helping with the pain. Where the fuck is Spring, hell we are hitting Summer in about a week, and we have had nothing but cold, wet miserable weather....
Not sure what my plans for the week will be, all I know for certain is I see my doctor on Friday and have some nails to do.
Have been watching the race this afternoon, in case you don't know what race I am talking about, it is the Supercars in Newcastle Aussie.
I don't really have a-lot to say, as I have not been doing much, not sure of it will be the gym tomorrow or not, to be honest I am really struggling getting up before 9am. This is so not like me as I have always been an early morning person. Not sure if it is because I am having a restless sleep due to the pain so am just sleeping in or what, well thats all I can think of......
Hopefully in the next week or so things will sort themselves out....
Anyway thats it for now... be back later in the week :).

Swapped days.....
Monday:
Ended like this :)
Tuesday:
Today has become a stay at home day, no gym, as David has my car, as his is being a little temperamental, so said to take mine today and will do gym tomorrow. This works out ok, as I have clients today anyway.
I know they said it was going to be cold today, but who expected the South Island to have so much snow, and we had a morning temperature of 3 degree's, and its currently 13 degree's and suppose to have rain and thunder this afternoon, and a high of 14 degree's with a high of 13 degree's tomorrow bbbrrrrrr. Where the f**k is Spring, and hell Summer starts in a couple of weeks.
Whoops forgot to post this morning, after it was done, in the meantime, it has hailed and thunder and heavy rain....
Oh and no gym, David is taking my car, might do a workout from home, have the stuff needed :).

Did I or Didn't I......
I didn't - I didn't go to the gym yesterday, I had planned too, but just never got there..... I did go 4 times last week though :)
But anyway a new week has begun, and am hoping to go to the gym 5 times this week. I went this morning, and did strength training and bike. I also met my physio there (hence why the time is out for the strength training). We talked about the pain in my hand, we both think it is nerve pain that has come back, and have talked about a few different things to try over the next week or two.
Still feeling blah, but think that is more due to the pain rather than anything else But am not going to let it bring me down, because it is nerve pain, I know there is nothing physically wrong with it. It's just the bloody spinal cord sending wrong messages to my stupid brain. I have beaten it once before, I will beat it again. If none of the things the physio mentioned help, then I may need to go on Gabapentin or Pregabalin again for a short stint. I have an appointment with the doctor next week Friday, so have nearly 2 weeks to see if I can get it better before we try meds again.
Wonder if we will get the rain they have said is suppose to happen the last few days, it does look like rain and is suppose to rain for the next few days.
Anyway thats it for now - catch you later :)

Weekend.....
Friday - ended like this..., sleep was a little better, but last night was less again, stupid pain in my wrist is keeping me tossing and turning a bit. (The Apple Watch records my sleeping).
Saturday:
Did my clients nails this morning, so now done and dusted for the week, then when I had finished her, I went to the strawberry truck, before they ran out, as it is suppose to rain tomorrow, so probably wont be going to the strawberry farm. So wanted to stock up just in case, and they are so bloody expensive here, selling for $15.00 for 1 kg :(, considering the strawberry farm, is $23.00for 3kgs....
Am feeling a bit blah today, oh and it is a gym free day today, hopefully be there tomorrow, no I will be there tomorrow.
Food for the week so far overall has been pretty good, I would say 90% good, and 10% slightly of track. No major binges though, like a dozen chocolate bars, ice-creams, lollies and whatever else my body wanted.
Anyway thats about it for today :).

Friday is here....
Thursday ended like this... Yip water needs to be better as per usual, sleep was not that great either.
Friday:
And the week is nearly over, sleep again was not that great, and I struggled to get up for the gym, I even slept through my alarm twice (well I think I did, because I got up 25 minutes late, or maybe I just cant remember turning it on to snooze mode). I did get to the gym and proud of myself for getting there, cause I sure has hell did not want to go. I still managed to burn 842 active calories, and I felt every one of them. I did the hand cycling as the elliptical's I like to use were taken :(.
Anyway thats it for today, if anything exciting happens will let you know tomorrow. :)

The weeks are going just to fast.....
Wednesday ended like this - I forgot to add in my water though. This was a no gym day :).
Thursday:
Bloody hell the weeks are going by just too fast.... anyway back at the gym today, after yesterday being a gym free day. Did strength training today and boy I felt it alright, burnt 1122 active calories :).
I do have concerns with my CRPS hand/wrist, the last 3 or so days, it has been pretty painful and it keeps cramping up, so my fingers are stiff...... It could be a number of things, reduction in pain meds, did something to it at the gym, I thought it might have been the rainny weather, but it hasn't rained for a couple of days. I see my physio on Monday, so if it is still like that on Monday, will talk to her about it.
I have been following this women on Youtube, who weighed over 500 lbs and her weight loss journey, she is currently going through excess skin removal.She lost this weight through hard work and sheer dedication, I will link her here, if you need some motivation, she is one to follow :) - Jacquelines Journey and love the name lol.
Food since I have decided to go back to basics and just not stress about it, has been awesome, and I am feeling good not stressing over it. Its not perfect, but I am not pigging out on chocolate, chips, and whatever else my heart desired.Today was at the supermarket and I am not going to say it wasn't easy avoiding all the Christmas sugery delights. But instead of having a major pigout, I opted for a small chocolate bar, and it felt good and I throughly enjoyed it, and didn't feel deprived which under normal circumstances would have turned me into a piglet. So as long as this is working for me, and the scales keep going on the way downward I will stay like this. I am still trying to keep on the lower side of carbs though for the majority of the foods.
So there you have it for today, catch you all tomorrow - a gym day doing a lower body/core workout, or maybe a cardio workout, will see how I feel in the morning :)
