Day 74 - Almost There

Well I've had a pretty fabulous week. I'm down to the lowest so far today (78.9) and am feeling great! I've done quite a lot of exercise over the past week, and I've also been SO much better with my eating. It has probably helped that I've hardly drunk as well. Also just realised that 78 was my updated goal for this round (which I reset last week), and looks like if I keep on as I am I will easily get there. Just need to keep it through Australia Day! I'm going to now aim for low 77 or even high 76.

Last weekend I did the SSS on Saturday which was massive! I worked so hard at it. Then on Sunday I did my trail run which was incredibly hard! The first 5-6 kms felt great. I was going fast but was managing it well. The last 1.5 kms however is a completely different story... it was all up and down and very uneven. I ended up having to walk a lot of the ends and was exhausted at the end. I think next time I definitely need to start out a little slower! Or maybe do some training beforehand! Regardless I still enjoyed it, especially the dip in the dam at the end which felt amazing! Would be nice next time to maybe have some people I know to do it with as felt a little lonely.

Sunday afternoon we went up to Whale Beach to see my sister and her kids and had a lovely afternoon, even though I was shattered. The beach was so nice, and the weather perfect! On the way home though my throat started to feel scratchy and on Monday morning I woke up with the worst sore throat I've had in a very long time! I was gutted as I really don't want to be sick! Luckily after staying home and quiet on Monday I didn't actually get too sick. I'm a bit snuffly and blocked, but the sore throat has gone, and today and yesterday I was able to do my exercises again. The good thing is that I didn't let myself go off the rails too much, and managed to continue losing weight through the weekend and also through being sick.

Also, we've found a house to move into! Yay! No more apartment for us. And that means we can get a dog and a cat. Super excited! We get the keys on Monday and I can't wait. It's all happened really fast. I really don't want to be at work. We have so much packing and organising to do before we can move. Also we're going away this weekend which will be fun, but will also mean even more stress about packing.

Basketball today at lunch time for the first time at work. Will be interesting to see how I go. I'm quite tired from playing a fill in game last night, and also weights workouts this morning and yesterday. I also have my own team basketball game tonight.
