Still shaky...
hehe..yep just got back from my first PT session with my new trainer/gym. Was fun, fun. I was actually really nervous as I knew he would really push me and I haven't done much the last few weeks due to my knee...plus I get really nervous (and I REALLY) doing new things!
Anyways back tracking a bit to Saturday when I had my appraisal. It was very thorough and imformative, I was very impressive, just not with the results. My fitness has gone wayyy down hill this year and my body fat just has never ever been this high, to be honest, I was taken back abit by it...but so be it, I know now and I can work on it!
Yesterday arvo I had my first pilates class "Gentle Pilates" and I loved it. I seriously wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it, a great bunch of people in that class and it was more challenging that I expected. I am old school when it comes to exercise and classes etc...I just couldn't get my head around actually working out without doing heaps of cardio etc...but it really did make me feel like I worked - I'm not sore or anything today but during the class I definately felt it. I like the way its subtle but you really are working...if that makes sense! And with all the breathing you do feel relaxed at the end of it and on a bit of a "natural high"...
Right onto my session then - let me say, I thought I hated the rower...I have in fact discovered I do not hate the rower, I have a new dread and I'm not even sure what you call it but its this bike that you can work both your legs and your arms. The arms are just little like levers and I had to do it without using the legs, only for 5 mins, and it was bloody hard - my poor little arms almost dropped off, and it was on the hill program, so it certainly caned me. Anyways I really really enjoyed the whole work out and the mix up of it, considering this was my first session with my trainer and he was just getting to grips with what weights I can do etc...I was proud of myself in the end - bar that bloody bike thingy machine...
So I think I have recovered somewhat now....thank god! Tonight we have our ballroom dancing class at 6.30pm - 8.00pm. Kenz - we are doing it as part of the Tafe short courses that they do and its at Como Senior High School....now let me say we are by far the youngest people there and our teacher is about 100 but she is damn good on her feet and its FUN..we had a great time last week. Unfortunately I am not sure if we will make it tonight - its almost 5pm and Stu seems to be flat out here and it takes us a good 30 mins to get there...will see...plus Stu is looking very grumpy over at his desk...hmmm...will see!
I also have (for some reason unknown to the "normal" Melissa) booked in to do the 6am Pilates class tomorrow morning...but I am determined to get my lazy ass out of the bed at 5.30am tomorrow and get up to the gym for the class..why? BECAUSE I know that once I have done it I'm gonna feel damn good and its also gonna feel good to stretch out my body after today...then its squash tomorrow night..ekkk!
I also got my book on fitness, carbs, fats, protein, muscles etc AND my nutrition plan...I can do this - as most nutrition plans are, its not sparing on food, its just a matter of choosing the right foods - I can soo do this. Last week had 3 awesome food days and I felt HOT so I want that feeling again. My biggest hurdle will be alcohol (must say very proud of self, on weekend went out with friends for 6 hours and only had 2 alcoholic beverages!!)...BUT this Sunday is the Eagles -v- Dockers derby and I have arranged for us to meet people at the Paddo...hmmm, have volunteered as skipper but still.........2 drinks, 2 drinks...will keep chanting this!
Now I must be off as need to eat my apple - am getting those tummy rumbles as I missed it earlier today! PLUS for all you Perthies...how BAD is this weather - I don't think I have seen soo much hard, sideways rain before...its a bit scary - actually if it does keep up (as I type its getting worse, OMG)...we might give driving out a miss tonight!!!
Love to you all - send me some goss ladies!

Saturday - quick one...
Well its Saturday...its raining & I am working til at least 1pm...oh well, am taking next Friday off to go visit my grandma in the country, who I have not seen probably for about 5 years...yes very BAD grand daughter!
Anyways so here I am, we are actually really quiet at work today, which is very unusual, guess its raining and everyone is in bed, no doubt they will all wake up about 10am and come in all at once! I have only spoken with Stu on sms this morning, I don't think he is having that great a weekend at Phillip Island so far - having some car troubles...best I just wait for him to call me.
Ok - so at 2pm its my first PT/appraisal session at my new gym/body studio - I am really excited. I dare say we won't really do much training, mainly just testing my fitness and my body fat etc...I am really interested to see what they come up as.
Now I have to say, following on from my last email, that another reason I am really excited about starting up pilates and stuff at this new place is because I get really anxious and I have a lot of trouble with my breathing, also one has no "inner core (aka ABS) strenghth" and I really think that over the next 6 months this new regime is going to help me de-stress and relax a bit more.
I seem to be one of those people that doesn't actually do much but is always busy - i.e. I generally rush home to clean up, cook, pressure myself to get it all done quickly and then wait around for Stu to get home for work late by about an hour (it happens everyday so I don't know why I continue to rush)...what I really should be doing is slowing down and enjoying myself, as I do LOVE cooking. Sooo I really think this "new adventure" is really going to help me....I'm soo excited..da, da, da!
Okay I bette go - gotta ring HBF to make sure my orthodics are covered by them. Will blog about my first PT session and my first Pilates class on Monday.
Have a great weekend all - OH, no detox as such this weekend but I have been incredibly good with my eating whilst Stu has been away, I am soo proud of myself..wahoo....
Love,
Melly.

Excited Mel...a new journey!
Yep, I've been excited for a few days now but have been a tad busy to get into blogging about it. Probably not the best time now but I really want to!!
Firstly, I dropped Stuey off at the airport last night *boo hoo* he is back on Monday morning. I was meant to go out this Sat night for my friends birthday but she has cancelled so I am thinking about doing a little mini detox over the weekend, nothing major, just no alcohol, wheat, diary etc...just try to keep everything as close to green and nature as possible - will see how I go, much easier when Stu isn't here of course!
Anyways onto my reason for my excitement..hehe...welllllll my current gym membership expires in the first week of September and as I keep hurting myself and I'm a bit bored with it all I thought I would try something different. Across the road from where I work is this body studio where they are really into all that pilates and one on one training - they only allow like 50 memberships to their gym so that you get as much privacy as you want etc.... so i went across there the other day and I was just soo impressed with them. I am really synical about places offering you everything and then once they get your money they forget about you, of course, I did tell them that and quizz them thoroughly.
So basically I have joined up. I joined up for the studio to do pilates etc and also for the one on one PT sessions. A few things that got me hooked:-

So basically I have joined up. I joined up for the studio to do pilates etc and also for the one on one PT sessions. A few things that got me hooked:-
- Upon joining they give you a whole book on the body/muscles, nutritional information on carbs, proteins etc and what they are and what is required etc and heaps more
- They do a test which not only shows your body fat % but your metabolism at rest and during activity so they can cater to your fast or slow metabolism better
- They are all fully qualified from uni
- Each week for the first month they give you a sheet to complete with all your meals eaten etc so they can then design a nutritional plan for you based on the results that you want along with your daily nutritional requirements e.g. vitamins, minerals etc
- They assess all clients in the last week of every month and also do "spot checks" to make sure you are keeping on track
- The gym equipment is just AMAZING, soo much more advanced than the poxy ole gym I am currently at
- You "book" in to do any classes which then makes you commit a little more as you gotta let them know if you can't make it - and they have a max of approx 10 ppl per class
- The variety and times of classes are awesome - they have heaps of classes ranging from easy pilates to really hard, plus really hard circuit classes, which I've actually heard rave reviews about
I could just go on...but I keep getting interrupted and I am starving - I need to go across the road and grab some lunch!
Now quickly though (I will try) I have my first PT session on Saturday then have regualar bookings for PT sessions every Tuesday and Saturday. Next week I have my first pilates class on Monday arvo and then again on Wednesday morning plus have dancing Tuesday nights and squash Wednesday nights - so am getting back into.
Gosh I actually have more goss too re: podiatrist but I'm under the pump, really gotta mosey!
Keep smiling bellas :) Melly xxx

Side tracked....
Well my weekend was really NOT a good one - not going to go into it as I'm over it all now. Its the start of a new week and I am just going to concentrate on that now.
I think I need to re-evaluate my training/eating. I was on such a roll til I injured my knee and now I have really been side tracked and just haven't done anything. I think I'm a little nervous to do cardio as my knee still seems to be a little tender and my other knee is starting to hurt now too..grrrr....but the podiatrist appt is on Wednesday afternoon so that's not too far off and hopefully it won't take long to get my orthodics because that will start to help straight away.
Hmmmm...we did play squash on Friday night - I have to say I absolutely LOVE playing squash, not that we play the rules at the moment we are just getting into it but I do have to read up on the rules and soon we will start playing properly against each other.
Anyways so as I am hesitate to do much cardio at the moment I am going to try and walk to work and back each day (6km round trip up & down hills) - surely that has to be better than nothing! BUT I will get up tomorrow morning and head to the gym and see if I can use the cross trainer.
Ohhhh, am excited, tomorrow night Stu and I are off to our first dance class - you know we get to learn all sorts just like "Dancing with the Stars" - it goes for 10 weeks. So that will be our Tuesday nights occupied.
Not even going to go into my diet at the moment - eek! Stu goes away again on Wednesday night to Phillip Island and is back Monday morning - so that will give a bit of a chance to get the diet under control more....
But positive, positive, its a lifestyle choice and you just gotta keep pushing on!
Ok, I gotta mosey - gotta get some more work done, I have been very productive today - yipppe!!!

Almost the weekend...
Howdy all!!
Well I can't believe its Thursday already - this week has flown by. Funny that, as I have been quite bored without being able to do any exercise. I'm actually a bit over it so will be back to do some light cardio at the gym tomorrow morning, then squash tomorrow night - yipppee!!
I kinda have tomorrow off as I'm getting my hair coloured (don't you just hate that regrowth look!) in the morning then physio in the arvo so I think I will just take the day off and go clean the house so I don't have to do it on Saturday - yippeee...
Oooohhhhhh...I was soo bored/unmotivated at work today so I ducked down to Jim Kidds and bought a new pair of asics - I love them and I got $50 off and a pair of sport socks to match for free. I can't wait to wear them. **I can just see me walking around the house tonight in my jammies with my new sneakers on** HA HA
Hmmmm....now for all those other Perthies out there....how beautiful was the weather today??? It got me all excited for spring to come!
So I'm looking at the weekend now. Stu is back from Melbourne (got back late last night) so this weekend we MUST dedicate time to doing a bit of gardening and housey stuff. Since he now goes away soo often our poor house and puppies seem to be getting neglected. So I think on Saturday arvo I will take the "boys" down to the river and go for a walk - I discovered that one of my limestone pots on the back patio had had the dirt dug out everywhere so I'm thinking they are a tad bored! Then might head to Herdsman Fresh and pick up some yummy treats from there.
I'm calling this weekend our "retreat weekend" - I intend on making up some yummy salads and new healthy recipes. I am only have a bevvie on Sunday arvo after all the work has been done as my uncle is coming up here and we are going to the pub as haven't seen him for awhile and he is just hilarious!
All in all, not a bad week considering I have been a SLOTH doing nothing but I have to say my knee and arm/shoulder are feeling better - tomorrow will be the test *fingers crossed* Am hoping the new shoes do wonders...ha!
Take care all and hope everyone is plodging fantastically!!

Boo hoo...
A few things really...went back to get my test results from the doc today - of course nothing really showed up so am off to a specialist to investigate further - but that's not til October.
BUT I have had a sore knee since I ran for 10 mins a week and a half ago and to be honest I have had a sore arm for a couple months now which I ignored but after showing the doc my knee he sent me to the physio...just got back!
My knee is caused from having flat feet and therefore the more exercise I have been doing with my knee/foot out of alignment the worse my knee alignment gets and everything gets inflamed, so luckily nothing is torn or broken but all the joints are rubbing because they are soo inflamed. So he has bandaged up my knee, referred me to a podiatrist, which I go to next Wednesday and I am going back to the physio for more knee exercises (just like holding a position against a wall for a bit) and also for my arm.
My arm is a result from something in my left shoulder being weak and consequently something about the bone going over & under instead of together and then a tendon stretching over the top and its all inflamed - when I go back on Friday we will go over arm exercises and what else I can do to fix it as we ran out of time but hence no weights this week.
I had a bit of a fainting experience because (a) he was pushing and pulling my knee/arm and it bloody hurt and then I just started feeling sick...he said it happens all the time its some sort of nervousness people get - I think thats true because once it hurt and I started feeling sick, it was like shock and I think it all just got to me...so embarrassing! Am SUCH A WHIMP!!!
So today has cost me a fortune AND I can't really do much exercise this week.....now my knee is taped though I think I can do cardio i.e. cross trainer as it doesn't really have any impact so will try that tomorrow morning but no weights til I see him on Friday to see what I need to do with my arm.
Anyways so that is my little whinge/sob story..haha...otherwise I had a great weekend - Stu pampered me lots and bought me a few little pressies when we went shopping on Sat arvo, so that was a huge treat AND we spent the whole weekend together-mainly because we had a few drinks on SAturday and hence Sunday couldn't actually do anything...whoops! I have to be super duper good this week due to not being able to exercise much....grrrrr...you really miss it when you can't do it!
Spose I better get back to work - oh have to say everyone seemed to have updated/re-vamped their blogs over the weekend, must have been something in the air!!
Take care all - Melly. xxx

Weekend Hello...
Finally I got my act into gear and added links to my blog and also a new template - a bit more PINK..hehe
I am really really bad at computer stuff other than the basic standard word, excel etc...anything too complicated just does my head in - but I mastered this - wahooo....wish I could just get my kodak printer to work so I could print out all our honeymoon pics! I am soo annoyed I have had it since May and it just won't load - so I am dropping it off at my parent's place tomorrow and hopefully my step-dad (who is a wizard at everything) will be able to load it on his computer and if so, it means there is a prob with my computer - pity he lives 40 mins away from me otherwise I would get him up here to have a plan...hmmm...note to self "bribe step-dad with dinner to come up and fix computer" hehe
Well I better go - Stu's racing is just about to come on the telly - he raced a porsche at Phillip Island a month or so ago (it was on Speed Week ages ago but now Channel 9 are replaying the round)...what a cutie!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)
Love,
Mel.

Disneyland, Hong Kong...

Beagles, Beagles, Beagles....
I soooo did not want to get out of bed this morning for cardio but my gorgeous husband pretty much pushed me out so I really had to get up - I thanked him for it later as now its all done and over with for the day - although still got squash tonight - looking forward to that!!
So all is good up this way. I have taken on board what Andj & Hillary have been saying lately about "visualisation". Instead of getting upset about not being happy with myself I have been pushing those thoughts away and each day visualising how I want to look and to be honest it really has made me feel better - I find I am not dwelling on things which then derail my efforts - instead I am thinking positive and just getting on with - thanks ladies!!!!
Otherwise no real goss from me. We are off to dinner with my father-in-law tomorrow night at Indian, I am determined to pass on the alcohol, I really don't like drinking mid week, it just throws you too much!
There is truck racing at Wanneroo this weekend so no doubt on Sunday Stu will have to go out there for work but hopefully that will only be for a couple of hours as we really need to re-organise our spare rooms - we need to make one of them into a study so Stu can do his motor racing paperwork and calls at night time rather than interrupting him here at work all the time - so looks like I have to get the internet connected at home now, which means we need to get a home phone number again - we just use our mobiles and it ends up soo much cheaper, noooooo line rental fees etc....oh well, we need the internet now so its gotta be done.
I must post a pic of our two beautiful boys (don't be fooled, they are beagles!) - they are such a treat to go home to each night, although they do seem to love Stu more than me as he pays them more attention whilst I do chores, but still they are just adorable and their big floppy ears...awwww.....I'll post a pic shortly - hopefully I have some here at work....actually I went to post some more honeymoon pics, this time at Disneyland, but I couldn't get blogger to work - doh!
Right I shall post that big and then go check out what everyone is up to on their blogs.

Otherwise no real goss from me. We are off to dinner with my father-in-law tomorrow night at Indian, I am determined to pass on the alcohol, I really don't like drinking mid week, it just throws you too much!
There is truck racing at Wanneroo this weekend so no doubt on Sunday Stu will have to go out there for work but hopefully that will only be for a couple of hours as we really need to re-organise our spare rooms - we need to make one of them into a study so Stu can do his motor racing paperwork and calls at night time rather than interrupting him here at work all the time - so looks like I have to get the internet connected at home now, which means we need to get a home phone number again - we just use our mobiles and it ends up soo much cheaper, noooooo line rental fees etc....oh well, we need the internet now so its gotta be done.
I must post a pic of our two beautiful boys (don't be fooled, they are beagles!) - they are such a treat to go home to each night, although they do seem to love Stu more than me as he pays them more attention whilst I do chores, but still they are just adorable and their big floppy ears...awwww.....I'll post a pic shortly - hopefully I have some here at work....actually I went to post some more honeymoon pics, this time at Disneyland, but I couldn't get blogger to work - doh!
Right I shall post that big and then go check out what everyone is up to on their blogs.
Melly.
