Mind over matter.....

Today is weight training day for me. I like lifting weights but I dred doing it, if you get me?! Like every mum im tired and find it hard to workout with a new baby around. Plus iv had a killer tootache for four days now! I do it all the same and I feel all the better from it. I feel strong and vitalised, great even. Building extra muscle has my body burning alot more calories and allows me to eat a bit more of what I enjoy. There is alot to be said for lifting weights for weight loss!

So I did my workout, went for 3 walks and thought my classes. All while drugged up to my eye balls on painkillers. Buyer BEWARE though, I had no idea that Neurofen increased your appetite so much. Not great when im trying to loose a few pounds!

I must admit though I am a lucky girl, I love what I do and I do what I love. I try to envoke my passion for fitness into my classes and with clients, the response has been great. I suppose you would say im dedicated to the cause :-).

My wedding veil came on Monday. Its 7 feet long, snow white tulle and only €11 in from China. Win! I searched high and low for the perfect comb. From House of Fraser to Claire's Accessories but couldnt find one just right. Then i found the perfect one...... online of course. I always get the best bargains online, dont you?! That arrived on Monday too. Its a floral design with pearls and zirconia stones (picture 1). Amazing! My sister gave me a gift of a lovely wedding folder (picture 2) to organise my itinerary and receipts. Now if only I could remember where I carelessly flung all my paperwork. I swear my brain hasnt been the same since I got pregnant  :-\.

Iv always wondered, what do people do with their wedding dress and stuff after their big day? My sister says she doesnt know what to do with her dress. I heard a story of a girl wearing her wedding dress to her friends wedding! Haha out of spite id say.

Not a bad old day all the same. I stuck to my diet. I had a 3 egg white omelette with turkey for breakfast and made a smashing beef stir fry with black bean sauce and whole grain rice for dinner. Yummy. I had my quota of green tea and got plenty of fresh air.

Now if I could only get some sleep x
