lent day 9 - divine intervention?

well once again i have avoided the chocolate and the crisps - BUT its not as straight forward as that - a lady at work was going to the shop and asked if i wanted anything "packet of crisps please....." gave her the money and off she went - came back and said sorry the shop was shut!! how lucky was that - i asked her to get the unconsciously and didn't give lent a 2nd thought and then it was not to be - some one guiding me from above i guess maybe i should believe.....

todays work out went like this -

3 rounds of -

10 front squats (20kg)

10 power swings (20kg)

10/10 1hd swings (16kg)

10/10 snatch (12kg)

20 step ups on to tyre

20/20 sledgehammer slams

1st 2 rounds were comfortable moved from 1 exercise to the next with no rest - last 1 was very difficult and had 30 secs rest between each exercises

Squats were very difficult my hip hurt a little after but not so much that it would stop me

lent day 8 - power club traing

despite my moan and groan re weight and lack of ability to deal with it head on - i have continued to show some will power by avoiding the chocolate and crisps for the 8th day on the bounce - well done to me!

power club training was like this (6kg club)-

8/8 arm cast x 4 off 30 secs rest

8/8 transverse arm cast x 4 off 30 secs rest

8/8 frontal shoulder circle x 4 off 30 secs rest

8/8 frontal arm cast x 4 off 30 secs rest

8/8 triceps extension x4 off 30 secs rest (last 2 sets assisted by other arm)

felt ok but a lot more difficult than i imagined - for most exercise i held the club 6-8 inches from the knob to allow more control of the weight - both shoulders and triceps burnt out to a frazzle!

NICE

why oh why.........

why oh why do i do it to myself???????

i have a weight problem that i HAVE to monitor and keep in check at all times - and in the most im happy if a can maintain weight and drop the odd lb here and here - BUT then when things go a little wrong, life gets tough or i get an injury or what ever little thing crops up - i put my weight and diet etc to the back of my mind and i eat like other people - i eat the every day sort of food most people in the office chomp on and i do it mindlessly and then ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!!! my belts tight i feel bloated and guess what ive gained a shed of weight

not weighed in yet but i hazard a guess ive gained 10lb over the last 2-3 weeks - i will weigh in tomorrow morning and see but its pretty much a foregone

im so disappointed,why do i do it to myself, why do i have no self control - no matter how i moan its not fair that so and so can eat whatever - i cant and i have to accept that sooner rather than later - or it might just kill me

lent days 6 and 7

well day 6 was a toughy - it was williams 1st birthday party and there was party food galore!!

but i was strong (ish) and only had a few bits n pieces and certainly no chocolate or crisps! - on the exercise front i went to another birthday party in the morning with oliver - and ran and played and oh my did i work hard so exercise covered i think !

day 7 - has been an easy one on the food front - but i have failed on the exercise front - but its been a tough day - work is mentally challenging - and i have had hip pain right from the off today - so i have taken a rest day will catch up im sure over the course of lent

MY WEIGHT IS OUT OF CONTROL AT THE MOMENT - I HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL AND SOON - BUT MY HEAD IS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE MOMENT
