See above - yep thats how I am feeling.

Be aware - this post is a whinge, and I am definitely feeling a little sorry for myself right now!

At the end of last week it was like everything was crystal clear and the path to follow was an easy one. Today - struggling in a major way.

I'm freakin pissed at myself. No exercise for the last 5 days - yep 5 friggin days!

I didn't plan properly and that annoys me to no end. Thursday and Friday last week I scheduled as my rest days - forgot all about a function Saturday night. Was definitely inebriated Saturday and our friends didn't end up leaving til 4.00am. Getting up to do dogs at 7.30am Sunday morning saw me still drunk. Sunday was a write off.

Today I couldn't get my head in the game. I put off exercising until it was too late. I basically sabotaged myself.

Tomorrow I have a full day planned, committee meeting, dropping off dogs, a few errands and then packing.

Wednesday is the only day I have planned at home to take care of the house before our house sitter comes to stay.

Tomorrow and Wednesday I will commit to exercise! There are no excuses!

My next weeks schedule is;

Thursday, Friday - travelling. (Perth to Exmouth - 1247km's)
Saturday - Dad's surprise 70th birthday.
Sunday - spending time with Dad and Mum and the family that travelled.
Monday, Tuesday - travelling. (Exmouth to Perth - another 1247km's)
Wednesday home.


I'm feeling a little helpless in not organising my sh*t better. I have four days whilst away where I really won't be able to exercise due to the car travel. Not sure what I can do there.

I'm being honest when I say I will be drinking on Dad's birthday - so this has to be taken into consideration as well. No Duromine will be taken on the weekend.

To compensate I will have to make sure that my healthy eating is on point with no straying.

The only thing going ok is that because it is bloody hot up there, 39C today - that there is a pool! I am going to have to get in some swimming time, as well as a few walks to try and make sure that I reach my goals.

I am annoyed at myself for letting the old me - hold down the newer me who is trying to get this stuff right.

Mood: -Pissed at myself!

Oh Rava, I know exactly how you feel hun!


Also not been exercising at the levels I’d like for the last couple of days.


I think it’s good to have a bit of a vent - let it out! Rah! Because it’s really hard to do everything!


Just a side note - I would personally also count your work with the dogs as exercise, or at the very least active rest.


Planning and prioritising ourselves (health and exercises) around our hectic lives is a bloody hard habit we’re still working on - especially when you’re running around caring for lots of other people too!


We’ve just gotta dust ourselves off and promise to get it right next time. Might be worth blocking out me time in our calendars ahead of time so we can see where we’re going to get unstuck? But also sometimes we do just need a bit of a break. So long as the trend is in the right direction towards healthier living.


I know you can’t get much in when driving but maybe you can do what I call the fuel up and pee stop challenge Whenever I’d stop for fuel I would (looking like a total weirdo) stretch, do 20 star jumps, a light jog around the servo carpark, 10 high knees, some car or fence pushups and some squats. I couldn’t always manage it all with time constraints but honestly whatever I could manage would actually make me feel way better being cooped up in the car (physically and my mood).

Goodluck!! Xxx

Rava do not get yourself down! Honestly sometimes life is just to darn hectic to figure in anytime for yourself and by the looks of it you are super busy running around for everyone and getting stuff done!
When you have time you will exercise and it’ll feel great, but keep up the good work hun! X
