Circus act

What a week! Feel like a juggler at the circus just managing to keep all the balls in the air! This has been my first full week of training/eating. Never to do things by halves, this is what I am trying to do (in no particular order)

1. Train for 10km run;
2. Weekly PT session in the gym
3. Weights program
4. Healthy eating plan
5. June crunch challenge

My head is spinning! And at present I'm afraid the first ball to drop is the mothering type. I fed Poppy a sandwich for dinner last night! Time to stop and get things sorted because that can't continue!

Here is my attempt at organising my week:

All good for my stuff, now I just need to add to it so that I am mothering as well!

My main problem is that the eating plan is not working for the rest of the family. Trent does way too much training and literally starves himself trying to follow this. And I also can't expect poppy to eat broccoli, cauli and asparagus 4 nights a week. She's a great kid but not that great!!!

So I need to look at the dinner meals and work out what I can easily add to them so that everyone is happy.

On a more positive note, I had my first PT session on Wednesday. Michael has designed a 3 day/week weights program and 4 days running. I will do the weights myself 2 times a week and the third session is with him. I did the full program for the first time yesterday and it was hard! Needless to say I'm very sore today! But of course, because I don't do anything the easy way.......I decided to tee up a run with some of the Kindy mums for this morning. Yep, knowing how sore I'd be. You can call me stupid now!

But it was great! There were 3 of us and 2 prams. 7km run which is my longest so far. Relatively flat track but a few little pinches which made me remember how hard running with a pram is. Well, by the half way mark I was starting to wonder how I was going to get back to the car! Thankfully at about the 5.5km mark, Halli offered to push the pram for me. God send!!! I walked for a couple of little rests which I am disappointed about but I know that I'm not too far off. Give me a couple more weeks and I'll be good as gold. Now, I'm struggling to get up the stairs to put Matilda to bed!

Also went to Mass Nutrition today to get a protein powder. Have no idea what I'm doing but the girl in the shop was very helpful. She suggested a certain powder that is all natural which she thought would be best because I'm breastfeeding. So I'll give it a go and see what happens - cue 'ripped muscles' music!

Anyway, better go because remember at the start of this entry I said 'mothering' was the first ball to drop? Well, I have a laundry full of washing that's been sitting there all week. I guess it's not going to wash itself......bugger!
