Sorry for the neglect

So, u thought I was done huh? Well surprise surprise not so :)

I'm back and this time it's with purpose...It's not about just fitness for me. It's more about learning about myself as a person. I thought that by running a 100k ultramarathon I had my shit sorted! Not the case. once again this thing called the attainment of fitness throws back at me the fact that there's more to learn, more to achieve. That's what I love about it :) That's why I won't ly down without a fight. Besides it much more dynamic to stand up and fight then to ly down and give up right??

One goal I've set for myself is to get my 100kg 1rm back squat post pregnancy. Here's a video of me doing 2 reps of 95kg so not far off. It was taken just last week.

Felt soooo good to being going heavy again! Yay!! I'll make sure I post updates as I go.
Sorry blog for abandoning you for so long :) I've been kinda busy with this little Miss. She gets cuter by the day!

Week 13 post partum

Ok, well to date since having bubs I haven't lost any weight :( I know sucks hey. I haven't been the best with nutrition but I haven't been the worst but I know to really see results I have to start reigning it in a bit. So I'm going to start blogging my daily nutrition. Will keep me accountable to u lovely people and will help me see where I have to reign it in....so here goes.

Oh and please a don't judge me...believe me I give myself a hard enough time as it is.

Dinner

Also at this stage I'm not going to count calories. My focus will just be on what I eat rather than he quantity, just like I tell my clients to do :). Hopefully I'll start to feel that my body is just regulating what it needs anyway as it used to. Roughly my average calorie intake should be about 1800 calories plus add 300 for breastfeeding. This is for days that I train. For days that I don't I should be deducting 300. Keeping it all pretty simple for now.

Training:
Strength:
Did thrusters started at 25kg in sets of 2 and worked up to 52.5 kg for 2. Did 4 sets at 52.5kg

This felt way hard. Actually every single workout feels way hard at the moment. It's all harder than I thought.

I don't know maybe it was because I had an excuse then where as now I have none...its all up to me.

Thursday 4th April HF session
5 x rounds
40 x double unders
20 x kb swings @ 16kg
10 x pull ups

Started with double unders and quickly subbed to singles as I could not string any together today. Swings were ok and the pull ups sucked. Started doing kips then added a band to them. Overall this workout felt soooo hard. Totally lost any sort of dedication and gave up at 4 x rounds then proceeded to beat myself up over it. Had a bit of a cry on the way home...that's becoming a habit of late. Hormones?? Don't think Ive ever given up during a workout and I won't forget that I did today, not a nice feeling. I have to remember that the next time I think about giving up...

This felt way hard and felt like I started off with a really low energy level. I really wanted to stop not even 5 mins into it. My head wasn't in the right place at all. This was the first time that I really wanted to quit and go home. Had a bit of a cry after...partly because I sucked so much and I was in mourning for the old me, and partly due to lack of sleep, big time. Things surely can only get better from here. Lets hope so :)

Anyhow for what it's worth here is the link to the video of this god forsaken wod!

My score was 60 reps! I didn't end up getting 45kg over my head...bugger :( I had a few attempts but I think my technique was lacking which I suppose was understandable seeing I haven't done any heavy snatches over the course of the pregnancy so happy enough..well kind of. Are we ever happy with our performances? I think its human nature to think of how you could of done better isn't it? I think that the day I don't think like this is the day its all over and I call it quits and find another hobby.

I'm trying to not expect too much of myself at the moment but that's hard. I want to be magically back where I was 9 months ago now. Trying to get my head around all the work I have to do to get back there and it is a little overwhelming. I haven't trained as much as I thought I would of so far. I have to make an effort to get something in each day. Maybe I'll start running again a little bit. Just a a few 5k's here and there, nothing like I used to do. I'm really finding that my cardio is lacking at the moment and Im craving something huffy and puffy. I think I need to run, I feel ok so maybe I'll give it a go sometime this week...hmmm

Little Princess Jetta is going well. She's the cutest :) She's like my little dolly, I get to play dress ups with her. Here's a recent pic of her...

Jetta had her very first photo shoot with Trudy from 'Imagine by Trudes'. Thanks Trudes :) She loved it, she was a bit of a diva though and wasn't keen on all the costume changes haha I think this one is my favourite :)

Here's the link to Trudy's blogspot.

2 weeks Post partum training

First session back 2 weeks post baby...In all I only had 16 days off training. I trained my last session the Saturday before I gave birth on the Tuesday. Defying my doctor once again in what she first thought would be realistic for me. She initially said 2 weeks off before I give birth and at least 2 weeks off any sort of training post baby. Hmm wrong again :) Taking it easy but boy it feels good to move and feeling surprisingly good. Bit sore with my stitches but now at 3 weeks feeling great again.

Took Jetta to the gym for some training. She loved it . Slept through all the loud music as I suppose she's  used to the sounds there. Perfect!

Felt great to be back training. Training really does complete me and it saves my sanity.

Getting back into it! No better time than the present!

Ok time to get real and start thinking about a post partum action plan. Firstly here's a pic of me 2 weeks exactly post baby. Ive also included a pic of me pre baby at 6 weeks pregnant. Just a little bit of a difference :) The scales weigh me in currently at 75kg...my pre baby weight was 65kg. OMG 10kgs to lose! That's not exactly going to be easy. I've got a bit of work to do. At the end of the pregnancy I weighed in at 84.5kg at my heaviest. I definitely feel alot flabbier, like softer. Have done 2 workouts so far and they feel surprisingly hard. I wonder whether I'll get the ability back to be able to push through the feeling of being uncomfortable...I was at a point where I was used to being uncomfortable and I think maybe I've forgotten that feeling. Sigh...

One sure fire way to start to remember that uncomfortable feeling is to enter the Crossfit games open 2012. So that's what Ive done rather last minute but I've done it. I know I'll be nowhere near the level of fitness that I was 12 months ago when I competed  and made the top 60 cut to the regionals but I think its good for me to compete anyways. No better way to get a true picture of where I'm at. I think also it sets a good example for some of my clients at my gym to see that theres never a perfect time to do these things and that sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves. Don't wait to your fitter. There's no better time than the present. Don't squander time. Compete and get fit while doing it!

The first wod was a 7 minute AMRAP of burpees. Hadn't done a proper burpee in 9 months or so and knew it would be challenging but didn't set myself a goal just did them at a comfortable pace. Got 63 burpees and happy enough with that for 2 weeks post baby. Here's my video of the wod below...:)
