Now thats how it should be
I’m still getting used to the fact that I can actually go out for a meal with friends and not have to pour over the menu ahead of time trying to find something that will fit in with my eating plan or worrying about how I have to be home at a certain time if I want to get up and do my training the next day.
Don’t get me wrong .. I still study the menu in depth before hand, but that is just so that I can salivate over what is to come. 
However studying the menu does give me the incentive I need to keep my eating clean and work out hard during the week so that I can enjoy my weekend “excess” without feeling guilty about it and this past weekend is a great example of how life should be.
I had spent the week eating cleanly and after a week of daily Ludus sessions I had done approximately 1 million burpees.
The weekend arrived and the weather was AMAZING! Issy and I headed to the airport to pick up my friend Kylie and when we dropped her off at the Auckland Domain to do the photography sessions she had arranged Isabelle and I had an “adventure” of epic proportions just like Dora the Explorer .. this entailed finding ducks, feeding them and then traversing through the secret garden in search of the Gruffalo .. gotta love the imagination of a 3.5 year old.
That night I used having a friend visiting from another city as a great excuse to get together with friends and have a dinner date. As I mentioned earlier I had already spent a good one or two hours looking over the menu so I knew exactly what I was having .. my staple, burger and chips (bahaha .. I am an easy girl to please) followed by dessert.
My dinner (which was worth every one of the million burpees I had done this week) consisted of …..
It was simply heaven on a plate … however now it is hell on my hips
So in an attempt to get my hips back to the way they were post weekend it was back to the arena at stupid o’clock. I will admit that even though this mornings workout seemed slightly easier than normal I found it harder. I really should learn that my body doesn’t perform well when I feed it junk. :S
After warming up (which included a hell session of defense/burpee/squat jump combos) we went onto our circuit in small groups.
- Deadlift/Squat (with the olympic bar)
- TRX Row/Burpee Shuttle Run
- Rope Slams/Medicine Ball Box Overs
- Sledge Hammer/Bear Crawl
- Dips/Rope Climb
The group split in half. One half did the first exercise, the other half of the group did the other exercise then we swapped. One minute each exercise x 2
On a side note I did pretty good in the rope climb. I want to touch the roof by the end of next year. 
To finish up lets get on with the guess who this weeks wolf is game show …
CLUE THREE = He is 29 and has a daughter that is two months older than Elias.
Till next time
