RECOGNISING WHAT NEEDS WORK

Scale weight = up 0.4 to 64.5 kg (__unt)

Training = 3.50 am 30 mins hard intervals (tready run 30 secs at 16 km/hr, 30 secs off x 9, 10kg DB swings 20 swings, 45 secs rest x 6, single leg hip bridge 3 x 10 each leg). Feel completely wrecked now.
Feeling = My body is a continual work in progress. It follows second but what comes first is how my mind thinks. I've recognised that I need to again practice some positive self talk, read through my mantra's on a daily basis, and believe in myself. Determination is whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. I am turning this around. I will not dwell on negative thoughts or images but change my perspective to positive outcomes where I will be the winner. I can do this! I will do this! Just watch me. Jeanelle would be proud of me. I miss her.

I've had the worst nights sleep being awake since around 2.30 am. Back DOMS were so uncomfortable (from lat pulldowns and DB shadowboxing on Saturday). The glands in my neck are like big marbles, sore throat and I'm still blowing heaps of snot and coughing up phlegm and feeling hot and sweaty and generally not 100%. It's been a week of battling by myself so I think I best head to the doctors today for antibiotics. I've got soooo much gas again which is taking the pleasure away a little bit from eating and drinking as I hate the gurgling that follows. I'm sick of trying to work out what's causing it. I'll mention to the doctor today but I doubt he'll have any idea. Hubby has headed away early this morning for another week so I'm all by myself again.
