So my story has been published in this months edition of women's health and fitness magazine :) very surreal to think its actually me really. I know I was big and unhappy but I don't really remember being that big and that wasn't even my biggest. 

So I decide I really want to lose this last 10-15kg so I have dropped most of the dairy I was eating and also cut out all snacking. It's been a hard few days but already it's paying off. Weighed in at 74.1kg this morning. Official weekly weigh in day is Friday so would be nice to be 73kg :) haha! I'm back to eating what I ate on the challenge except I'm snacking less. It's hot and since stopping myself from having a few biscuits with my cup of coffee I don't actually really feel like anything. I would like to be under 70 before Christmas and I can actually easily see myself reaching that now :) 

I have my 2nd mini triathlon this weekend. I am a bi nervous about it. Although I've been doing a lot of running I haven't been doing too much riding or swimming. My right shoulder has been playing up an old injury from so much sport like cricket bowling and softball etc at school. It's bony spurs or something in the socket joint so it's painful to lift past horizontal. Because of this swimming is hard. I do though find swimming easy other than this pain and every time I get in the pool I can do 1.2km (2 x 600m) so I'm sure I will be fine on sudsy but I HB been lucky to swim once a week lately. Riding on the spin bike at the gym is a little boring too. I get 15mins done or around 7.5-8km and I stop. I have all of 1km to go but agh lol. 

I'm really enjoying the weights though. I'm pushing heavier again I do need to search for some more just to vary it up a bit my body will be getting used to it soon. 

Might be time to bring out some HIIT style stuff with some trisets using plyometic moves again. It been a while since I did that kind of training. Maybe next week after the tri is done :) 

This is the article 

Off the beaten track

So confession time :( I have been a bit naughty with my diet lately. Not blow bad but not loose weight good. I still go to the gym every day and I can see muscle forming, I haven't gained any weight still sitting at 75.1kg but I'm annoyed at myself because if I had been diciplined I could have lost the last 10kg already. Agh!

I am struggling a bit because I feel in a limbo land. I want to put my head down and train hard and eat well but I also want to try for bub 4 in jan and we are swaying for a girl which is high dairy. Dairy is yuk and my body hates it. Even today I decided I didn't want to have any and I can feel my tummy bloat is going down. 

I also applied for a job a few days ago. A science job close to home. I probably won't even get an interview being a mum of 3 littlies 3 and under but I'm more than well and truly qualified although my back ground is in human cell tissue culture and this job is plant tissue culture the cells I cultures were the hardest and fussiest. I was also assistant manager in a commercial lab supplying cells to customers. I know I will be a great member for their team and it's not research so it's secure, it's 15mins from home. I would happily work there for the next 15years lol. Just have to get an interview. 

If I do get the job I will probably put back baby 4 so I can settle in and things. I wouldn't want to go on mat leave straight away even though I would probably only have 6-12weeks off and go back part time even just 1-2 days a week increasing to 3 days at 6 months. B might have to do the stay at home dad thing this time. My sister will probably be on mat leave too as they are trying for no2 so she might take bub for 1-2 days a week so it doesn't have to go to day care. 

It's all just a wait and see what happens kind of thing and that's the frustrating bit. I'm not the most patient person. I've been on this girl diet jeopardising my weightloss with the extra dairy and I may just be putting it back anyway. If I don't get the job it's go ahead as planned and that means I need to stay on this diet. 

I like to have plans and know where I'm going. Limbo land is so hard for me.
