So I started today with an awesome workout, I power walked 4.8kms and it only took me 45mins! New record as last time I did it, it took about 1 hour. Pretty happy about that however, when I got home I think I suffered some heat exhaustion and possibly pushed myself too hard. I had to lay down on the couch for close to 2 hours before I felt ok again to get up. Even now I still have a headache!
So something I've learnt - don't push yourself beyond your limits and don't go walking when it's already 32 degrees outside at 7:30am.
My new sports bra, I have to say is amazing. It honestly felt like I had no weight on my chest at all! This was amazing and so comfortable. Definitely a great purchase!
It's really strange how in such a short space of time, the difference I'm feeling already. I'm not bloated after meals, I feel full but not like I've eaten too much. I don't get sleepy after meals anymore, and I seem to be able to stay awake longer. Just my health in general has improved so much, by just eating healthy and doing some exercise. I really look forward to being so fit, I really really do.

This was my breakfast this morning after my walk
The days that I work nights I try and cook myself an egg meal for breakfast, to really pump myself with protein. I'm really into adding baby spinach and cherry tomatoes also. Bought fresh from local growers at the Gepps Cross markets on Sunday.
I'm having a very bipolar feeling at the moment. Sometimes I have good moments but just one small thing needs to happen and it turns into a bad moment. Like today for example, I was on a huge high from exercise and feeling determined and I decided to watch a movie before work. I read a very small description of the movie "An Education" not really knowing what it was about. By the end of the movie I was crying heavily and back to square one with missing my fiance. I guess it's better that it's coming in waves now, rather than just a constant sadness, but still. I hate feeling like this, it's like I'm single again, like he's left me here in Adelaide and taken off to another state. Which he basically has, except we're not broken up. I need to repeat this to myself over and over and over and over again, cos I'm going fucking insane. We both know the sooner I go over there the better, for both of our sanity's.
So right now I'm going to curl up on the couch and read the latest Australian Women's Health magazine and think about my gym ball workout tomorrow morning.
