Working out the kinks


Day 2 of Sexy in Six and you could say I'm working out the kinks.

The plan today was supposed to be: 5.20am drag le bootie out of bed and get run ready for 6am 10km drama kickoff with the Luke's Locker posse. 7.30am feel like a hero post 10km and bore you all silly with all kinds of speed / distance/ gps stats with my finally downloaded iphone running gadge!!

However at 5.55am it was clear le bootie had no intention of getting out of bed to go running right then, even despite telling it we have a half marathon in 4 weeks and it didn't have a choice. It was having none of it - instead protesting we could go for a run on the treadmill for 50 mins in air conditioned bliss after Crossfit this afternoon.

Um if you say so.

So well 6pm Crossfit comes around. To be honest I could have laid down and had a mild heart attack after the warm up 5 minutes of double unders,  but since today's Leanfit was just a 15 minute as many reps as possible routine I felt confident I would survive it. (The Crossfitters were doing yesterday's Leanfit routine today which was a double routine - I passed out around the 25 minute mark yesterday ;-) Today's 15 mins should have been a breeze in comparison.

Um if you say so. (I'm still not convinced the kettlebells hadn't been sitting in the sun all afternoon - my lighter than light bad boy was seriously scorching - at what temp does iron combust? ;-)

Well post-crossfit, instead of heading to the gym and 50 mins of treadmill time, my bootie somehow found itself in the Target frozen food aisle reading the list of chemicals that make up a Skinny Cow ice-cream sandwich. None of the chemicals that make up a Skinny Cow ice-cream are remotely paleo compliant. Just so you know. Not that I would ever consume one.

Um if you say so.

Despite this (not so) minor abberation, I have been 100% paleo all day. Ergo: I am pretty much famished and now out of eggs, ham, fruit, spinach and cashew nuts and dreaming about macaroni & cheese with a goat's cheese and balsamic vinegar side salad!

Clearly this is not quite the level of focus I was hoping for so to ensure a better performance going forward and get this Sexy and Six show properly on the road, I have decided a little bribe is in order (good thing I'm making up the rules ;-)):  So one ticket to Keith Urban, Country Music God on Sunday night can only be purchased ONLY IF I complete:
  • 3 days of 100% paleo (no cheats - not even Skinny Cow chemical whipped air - none whatsoever)

  • 1 x 10 km group run 

  • 1 x 5 km solo run 

  • 3 x Leanfit sessions by 6pm on Friday

Cranking this song up on the radio today - reallllllllllly makes me want to go to another summer country concert:


Is it just me or is Mr Owens actually incredibly H.O.T?! FOCUS girl FOCUS! xx
