Defeat

I accept defeat, I cannot make time for exercise. Some of you might say oh “of course you can”, but if you had my schedule you would would agree. Even my best friend who’s really athletic and fit, could find a time for me to exercise in my crazy schedule.
I basically work from 9 till 7pm everyday except wendesdays, on Tuesdays and Thursday straight after work I have rehersals which end at 9:30pm, at about 10pm im home. I get an hr or two to prepare myself for the next day and maybe time to relax a bit. I am sleeping most of the time at midnight and getting up at 7:30am, which is the normal hours of sleep anyone should get.

Been trying to get up early at about 6:30am but I am not going to sacrifice my only 7 hr sleep of the day, I get so exhausted, I need all the sleep I could get. Then on the days I dont have any rehersals, I try to do some chores, like washing my clothes, clean my room and plenty of other stuff. Apart from that, there is always some type of events like for example this week, like my sisters concert, or birthday parties, which I cannot miss.
So yes, I am pretty much defeated, however what was suggested to me is that I eat well and healthy. Hopefuly after october I get my ass in the gym and start working out again. Eventhough I am not running or lifting weights, I am still pretty much everywhere doing everything. It’s not the same but it’s not that far apart either. For some crazy reason, if I don’t work out I don’t feel I am doing anything with losing weight, when the food is as important as the workout if not actually more.
So instead of feeling bad that I cannot exercise I will make up for it by eating healthy. So that is my plan for the coming months. Let’s hope my eating will improve, even if it’s a bit hard in my current situation, cause i rarely have time to cook anything. Oh well, I will try to focus on one thing at a time, let think food now, and then workout later.
Let’s hope for the best

It me again

Hello guys,
Sorry its been a long time since I posted anything, but with all the things I have going on, it is really hard to make time for blogging. Apart from that, it’s my fault I got the brilliant idea of having two blogs. My life is pretty much full, I just started rehearsing for the Voices concert once again. For those of you who don’t know what Voices is, it’s basically a 2 week concert which benefits a number of charities. It is a beautiful experience and I am lucky to take part in it once again and actually have a solo part too. We recently started rehearsing again and i basically have two reversals every week from now until Mid August then 3 rehearsals a week in October. Apart from that, Make-up jobs are really blooming and great opportunities are coming along the way, so I am pretty happy.
Then of course I have to make time for myself and actually relax with friends. But what has unfortunately taken a back seat? Of course is eating healthy and working out. I know same crap different day. But honestly I am so tired from trying to make time for everything that, that I rarely have time to actually relax.

I need to adapt and plan a new workout schedule for myself. I need to start working out again even if only just 3 times a week, I truly let myself go to some extent, I barely have time for myself anymore. However this weekend I plan to organize myself a bit more, do some pampering so I am back to normal and make time for workouts. I need to get up early and workout, even if I sleep late at night, cause I cannot keep using the same excuse over again. NO EXCUSES.

Apart from that I do feel great, I have awesome friends to which I spend nice relaxing weekend with in Gozo. I am making new friends along the way and apart from the long hours at work, I am loving my life. All I have to do is basically try to fit in some workouts, because even if my eating is not the best, being that I am so busy I need to eat a bit more or else I’ll have no energy. Thankfully when I don’t have time to prepare lunch, there is a shop close by, where they do pretty decent wraps and salads. So at least I am sorted when I am too tired to prepare anything. I did have quite an unhealthy weekend at Gozo, but being that I am so busy all week, I barely have time to eat let alone eat unhealthy.

My weight has gone up and down and then up again, but now I am pretty much at the same weight. It is time I worked my butt off and started losing some weight once again. Fingers crossed

XOXO
