2 PRs down, 2 to go!

PR number 2: Got 35,000 steps on fitbit. You have no idea how long I've been on the treadmill to get this. After walking to the stables three times and half biking, half walking 8 miles to sort out my friend's snakes and back, and shopping, and I've still been on the treadmill for 2 movies. I hate treadmilling.

currently on 33000 steps. IM GETTING THIS BADGE TONIGHT.

Photos are great Ceph, they make me feel like I'm really sharing my life with you all! I feel so connected One day I'll have to try and get all of my animals im one room so I can get one big picture of them all. Obviously sans Queenie. She's not coming in my house. I thought about trying to get the fitbit badge for 35000 steps in one day today. It didn't happen. I'm on 25000 right now. Maybe I'll get on the treadmill once I'm done cleaning. I'm in the middle of tidying my room, and I put a washing load in, as most of the junk in my room is dirty clothes. The washing machine door won't open. I've tried turning it on and off again at the dial, I can't actually find a wall switch and I'm not particularly enthusiastic about trying to find it, as I know I'll break something. I even tried washing it again and seeing if it would unlock then. Nope. So my double washed, super clean pile of undies and socks is stuck in the washer. Not gonna lie guys, if I cant get them out, I've got no clean underwear for tomorrow. This is not good. .... Ok. So, as I was typing that, Dad came down and I told him. He prompty hit the door, then it opened. Oh. I feel foolish. Guess I'll hang everything up now...

My 20 seconds of courage is not special. It's not fitness related, it hasn't helped me short term or nor will it long term, but I'm so impressed that I did it I just have to post it. I don't like spiders. I have never touched a spider, and I have never had any urge to. The other day at the stables someone went into the toilet only to run out screaming. Cue 8 of us going to see what the problem was. I kid you not, there was a spider the size of my fist in the sink. Some people squealed, others flapped, one person stated that we'd have to burn the yard down. ...I looked at my gloved hands, shrugged, pushed past everyone, picked the devilspawn up and threw it over the hedge. I have no idea what compelled me to do that, as I'm usually the one screaming. But thanks to those 20 seconds of loss of sanity courage, I was the hero of the yard for a good hour. It felt nice.

Not sure if I'm deficient or not, but taking no chances after reading this.. Just went out and bought some vit D tablets!

Today is not a rest day. Today is day one of week two. Today I have not. Stopped. Moving. TODAY on day one of week two I FINALLY BROKE A PR. I went swimming. I haven't been swimming since december. In december I swam my first mile after weeks of weekly sessions. I swam that first mile in 55 minutes and 45 seconds. Today I went swimming for the first time in months. Today I swam a mile in 54 minutes and 20 seconds. I've also cycled a total of 14.9 miles, some of those with a heavy bag of shopping on my back. Because I'm so tired, and feel like I've achieved something today, and really don't want to be too sore tomorrow, I'm forgoing my strength workout. I just think it would be over-doing it today. Also, this week's weigh in is 51.3kg. First time it's gone up two weeks in a row!

Today I have cycled 14.9 miles. Today I swam 1 mile. Today I spent the entire day in water or in the rain. Today I still need to do my strength training. Today, I am tired.

Rest day is non existant as far as rest is concerned. I agreed to do a 5k this summer yesterday. Have I mentioned I can't run to save my life? Did some training this morning. Shins hurt now. Of to see the horse as soon as I've finished my shake, then a couple of errands at home need doing, then it's off to work... again!

I can't believe I forgot to mention this yesterday. My best buddy K at work asked if I'd do a Pretty Muddy with her a couple of days after my birthday in July this year. Pretty Muddy is basically Mud Runner, or Tough Runner, just... pink. It's for breast cancer research. Did the girl who doesn't enjoy running and doesn't like pink and lets face it, doesn't particularly enjoy getting muddy, just sign up for a pink themed mud filled 5k? Yes she did. Because I've always wanted to do something like that. God knows why. LET THE TRAINING BEGIN! Re-downloaded Zombies, Run! on my phone and went for a run in the field this morning. My feet are soaked. I'm sure my shins are going to hurt tomorrow. But hey, it'll up my step count, which means I can work on beating my new fitbit friend, who has a average daily step count of over 24,000, while mine's just over 17,000. Huzzah for competetiveness! To do today is seeing Queenie and checking if her other rug is dry, cleaning the rabbits out, and putting the duvet cover back on the duvet before heading to work for a 10 hour shift! Yaaaaay. I'm super excited. For the Pretty Muddy, for tomorrow's weigh in.. I'm so curious to see if these protien shakes are working. And as my current challenge is breaking PRs, and all of my sets so far are the top of what I've done, any increment in weight or reps is a new PR! And I am so planning on upping everything. PixieKitten:Beast Mode is in effect! WHEEE

Lots of food at work today. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow!

Lots of work work work work work today. Hutchy hasn't had a walk in two days. Poor Hutchy. We will walk in the morning! But for now, sleepies.

Thank you! Turns out my brother has a shaker thingy for his own(crappy) shakes, so I just borrow that now! It's so much easier, though it's small so I have to do it twice for one drink! Only problem I'm having now is I'm out of money and have no food. So I'm gonna have to either add another daily shake a day until I can go shopping, or eat as much as possible while at work. I've got the good manager on today so I'm sure he'll let me take a plate home, even if I'm only working a 6 hour shift today!

Today I'm adding friends on fitbit. Do I know these people? No. But I want more people's stats to compare to and try to beat. Yay competetiveness!

DAY 5 Lunges 10kg, 6x6 Dips 10kg, 6x6 Negative Chin Ups, 6x6 Academy Workout B, 2 circuits

So, we're good. Boyfriend's phone is broken and won't charge. I'm sleepy.

Boyfriend stood me up last night. We didn't have a specific time set so I went to the pub we always meet at and waited. For 6 hours. Queenie lost her rug this morning and sat naked shivering in the rain. I had to trudge through 7 fields to find the damn and put it in my shed to dry. It's even more ripped now. She's got her big rug back on until it dries out. Hutch woke me up this morning by punching me in the face. It's 12:37 PM and Boyfriend still hasn't contacted me, despite me dropping him off a new charger at work before he got there this morning. Debating internally whether or not I need to be kicking his ass to the curb. (Really really don't want to do that, he's a bastard but I love him) Trying very, very hard not to cry today.

DAY THREE Deadlifts 20kg, 6x4 Bench Presses 10kg, 6x3 Body Rows, 6x6 Academy Workout A: 10 Pushups x3 15 Bodyweight Squats x3 :15 Plank x3 30 Jumnping Jacks x3 ...Pixie needs a shower before she gets on with her day..

I tidied my room! Kinda. Got rid of the rubbish and put all the dirty clothes in one pile. So it's not quite cleaner, but it is tidier. Yay! Work was rather boring. Had a steady lunch rush which died off around 3, and simply never picked back up. I had the dessert room clean by 6, the den locked by half 7(it closes at 8 but there were no kids in the restaurant), and cleaned off the last table at 9:20, and was home by 9:40. Good stuff! And now I have two days off, huzzah!] Tomorrow I'm back lifting weights and having another protien shake, fitting in with the big boys!

I want a t-shirt! I have too many t-shirts. But I want one! Not that I could run a 5k. I can't run for 5 minutes! As far as motivation goes, I like picking a theme, even if I don't mention it in the challnge itself, and watch a movie that feeds the theme. A couple have been Mulan for me. And Lilo and Stitch. Maybe Iron man marathons will inspire you to keep going?

I'm procrastinating again. It's 10:40 am. I have walked the dog, brought the horse in, fed the horse, gone to the shop, had my daily protien shake, had breakfast, cleaned out the tortoise, fed the rabbits, and washed up all the breakfast stuff. All I have left to do is tidy my room and get ready for work for 12. I don't wanna tidy my room. *sad face* And the tortoise needs feeding again. He eats a lot. And I don't wanna go to work. But I'm not gonna grumble! Nope nope nopedy nope nope nooooope. ....I'll go tidy now.

Sounds like you had a good couple of days! Rest days are important, so count it as a success! *throws twigs on your metaphorical fire* FAN THE FLAAAAAAAMMMESSS!

Rest day today, i.e, Pixie has work from 12-10 and has no time to attempt a workout, not to mention she's sore from yesterday. Still, I've walked the dog, biked to the stables, gotten Queenie in and fed her, left her on the yard to eat hay while I biked to the shop to get milk, had my daily shake and am now waiting for a pair of lamb leg steaks to cook before I tidy my room then get ready for work. Phew!
