Blogging two days in a row LOL!! ;o)

I got into work early this morning for an early start only to realise that the program has recently changed and I start later than expected, oh well lesson learned. LOL!!

I’m finally getting myself into a nice work routine again, it’s taken a while with all the changes going on but I’m got there.

So here I am, blogging again two days in a row now. My Polar F6 arrived safe and sound last week and has already been put to good use. I have to use it for my five times a week cardio sessions to ensure I’m maintaining a consistent heart rate. It’s a great tool to have and the many functions that it’s capable of are incredible. At the end of the session I know how long I’ve trained, how many calories I’ve used and what my average and maximum heart rate were. One thing I have noticed is that my cardiovascular fitness has improved as you would expect and my recovery is even quicker. I’m feeling fitter and fitter by the day.

I trained legs today and even tried out some of our new weight equipment. You see we’ve been a little understocked in our gym and we finally got a leg extension machine, lying leg curl machine, incline press and a lat pulldown. So now I have a little more choice which should keep me well entertained. LOL!! This afternoon my cardio is running in preparation for my annual pft at work and my legs are going to feel less than enthusiastic so I’ll just have to suck it up and get on with the job. I’m not a runner, not by any means but I do it because it’s a job requirement and I want to lead by example. And of course I’ll have my trusty new heart rate monitor on.

Comp prep is coming along nicely but I have had a change with my posing music. What I originally wanted to do turned out to be to difficult so it was back to the drawing board for me. Jo Rogers gave me some really great advice of which I’m following, she is after all a wealth of knowledge and I value all her help. So I came up with a new piece of music which I hope compliments the package I’m trying to portray. Only time will tell I guess. And in case you’re wondering I won’t be revealing what it is until the night of the competition, a girl has to keep something to herself you know. LOL!!

On a totally different note I’ve managed to find myself a great beauty salon in Sale. The owner and manager does all my waxing and she doesn’t mind that I’m very particular about it, her customer service skills are second to none. Now that’s something you don’t see everyday in this day and age. They’re only recently installed a new detox box and I’m going to be trying it out on a weekly basis. We’re hoping that it will help with my skin condition. We spend a lot of time and energy concentrating on all things internal that we often forget about our external. So taking care of your skin is equally as important when it comes to stage presentation. It’s also a time to rest and relax. I love getting pampered so it’s a win win situation for me.

Well it’s almost time for my afternoon snack, then I have to head out and teach another class before heading home for a run. So life for me as you can see is busy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. So on that note I’m out of here. xx
