Week 8

So I thought week 7 was hard..Last week had been yet another emotionally challenging week for me... 
Training was been awesome. I am so proud of how well I am doing. Granted I have had my moments of struggles (I lost my balance with the dumbbells in my chest session on Wednesday... I was so embarrassed all I could do was laugh) but all in all it's been a pretty good week... 
This week training has been a bit of a mix due to work shifts and my trip home for my Granddads wedding. Monday was legs and I really enjoyed it...Felt it for a few days afterward though!! Wednesday was my 6:30 group cardio circuit (which I just made it in time for) and 4:45 chest sessions... I love the early morning session its definately worth getting up at 4:30 for!! Thursday was my back session and I was disappointed to be demoted from chin ups to pull ups... While DRok had very good reasons for changing it I felt rather sad.. Oh well there's always next week :)
Friday I flew home. I landed got picked up by my amazing Dad who dropped me off at Strathfield and caught a train to Penrith... I tell you this much PENRITH YOUR BUS SERVICE SUCKS BIG TIME! Maybe come see how Brisbane transport do it.. Not one bus was going anywhere and there were about 10 of them there! So I caught a cab to the gym and did a cardio session with Mum and my Aunty Lyn... I am amazed that I smashed out 10 minutes on the rowing machine after 15 on a bike. I hate the rowing machine... I missed Saturday group obviously and didnt get time to do any ICE so I went for a run on Sunday morning... My aim was to at least run all the way up these two hills that I usually have problems with... I'm proud to say I smashed them both although I may have looked a little weird... I was yelling at myself not to stop.... Whatever works right? LOL
Today was the beginning of week 9... I had a legs session which was pretty awesome and ended with 170 kilos on the legs press... I swear it was easier last time lol... Not far off my goal of 200...I have 2 weeks and 2 days left until I get on that plane and I'm really starting to freak out... While I'm extremely pleased with how I'm progressing my tummy isnt where I want to be... I dont think I'll be on that beach in a bikini and it's alittle disheartening, Not that I'm giving up, I've worked damned hard to get where I am I'm just disappointed that everything I have put into this isnt enough....  I guess all I can do is my best and see how I go :)
I will write a proper entry later on in the week... I am tired  after such a big weekend and the emotional rollercoaster that has ensued and need to get my gear ready and head to bed...
Ill post some photos of my amazing outfit and family next time 
Night xx
