what am I doing!

Well I am exhausted! Life is one big "to do" list right now and there is many many items on it!

I am so busy with uni right now, that all of my spare time is spent with kids/family commitments... and even they are suffering.

I guess I knew there was only so long I could keep all the balls in my life up before a few would drop. one of those balls is roller derby. This makes me immensly sad, but my head was not in it and at my last training we were scrimming and I just was not getting it and I know I should have been doing it better, but I just plain sucked! So if I find time in the next 4 weeks to train I am going to take a back seat and go back to basics training just so I can be on skates and fall in love all over again.

Also I so need to address my eating! I love food, but the busy factor in my life means that I am suffering nutrition wise. I am all for treats, but I am going over the top. I need to remember that moderation is the way.

ok while I have a five minute break my kids are quietly drawing... I best check that is what they are actually doing!!

derbalife??

I am willing to try it! I am hoping that my body accepts it and that it also does not bother Keira as it does have casien in it. I will have to double check that it is safe to use while bf'ing. But I need to shift 5kgs (approx) mainly I need to be a lovely size 11 (not a size that exists - but it is that lovely place between a 10- and a 12 where tight 12s fit and loose 10s fit.

what am I doing:
I am going to make and eat more protien heavy snacks through the day and not fall back onto constant fruit and soemtimes bad and evil snacks!
seriously watch my snacks!
enjoy a shake for breakfast!
make sure that I am taking my vitamins every day - not just looking at them :D

oh evil scales

I just hopped on the scales and realise that I have put on about 1 - 2 kgs... now i know that there is such thing as fluctuations in weight - but this is a shift... need to work on it so it is a temporary shift!

yesterday I dusted off my roller derby workout dvd and did 3 sections of that (streching, tummy and thighs) and I didn't do it on skates as I had 2 ruggies underfoot. As it was when I was doing the squats I was holding Ryan - so add 15kgs to that one!

today is derby training and I will bring it... (even though I am not feeling it on the inside today... damn uni and sleep deprivation!).

uni brain and body drain

oh please help me!!! I am studying and my head hurts. because of uni I can't do Wednesday night training and it sucks big time.

since I have been back at uni I have had 2 colds and allergies gallore.. wtf. I have been nibbling on all the wrong things and I feel like crap!

solutions?
take healthy snacks
make plenty of healthy dinner to take to uni for lunch
drink plenty of water
join the freaking gym already or workout at home - but for the love of god make up the 2 hours of derby training being missed every week!

I WILL BE FABUFURY NOT FLABUFURY!!!

skip hop and a jump!

Well I am exercising! I have been derbying it up and pushing it until it hurts (which to be honest does not take alot right now!) At home I have been cleaning and working up a hell of a sweat doing my major life changing de-clutter! Yesterday I vacuumed the whole house including the lounge which was hard work and took me an hour to do! I am actually sore today from vacuuming - who would have thought that vacuuming could be such hard work.

Today was a play with kids day and shop with 2 on my own - which in itself teaches you to be light on your feet which I need to really improve in Derby. I had it pointed out that I dont step alot in Derby and I realise that there are a few factors involved here:

1 - I just need to practice it and make sure I do it! so totally my own fault for overlooking it as an important skill to have.

2. How I tie my skates up. I have them loose around my feet to stop foot pain I get, but the trade off is I like to stick my feet to the ground.

3. I think that I also practiced gluing my feet to the ground for pack/blocker skating so I dont trip people. I have spent so much time thinking about blocking and keeping my feet on the ground I have forgotten how to step! I have also never put my hand up for being a Jammer as I feel more at home as a blocker and if I ever find my voice on the track - a pivot. I find it ironic that I never shut the hell up for 2 mins ever in life, but in a scrim I suddenly suffer from selective muteness! WTF???

SOLUTIONS ... why discuss problems without them :D
I need to practice hopping and leaping about on my skates... so
Step 1 - I adjusted the way I lace up the skates, so they feel better on.
Step 2 - wear them and practice not letting my skates glide - step step step hop jump and skip :D

and dearest follower - if you have not given up on me - do you have any pointers as I am always impressed by your leaping and dashing :D

a weekend at Kings Cross by the sea...

Went away this weekend and was super good! Whilst I could have, I did not have any of the yummy gelatos! I also did not eat cake or chocolate all weekend!

since I missed Derby on Sunday I went for a skate along the foreshore at burleigh which was very fun!

otherwise I walked lots, played with kids, swam and relaxed. It is nice to get away :D

That is Mrs Fury to you

yesterday I went and helped a friend with her PE lessons all day and got to teach a few PE classes myself. I really enjoyed it - more then I thought I would. SO much so that I think I will look into going into PE when I am finished my degree. Funny as it was the last thing I ever thought I would do - but as I was telling my physio this morning all about it, she said she wasnt suprised and thought it would suit me.

I have to tell you that I trust what this woman says because I am totally inlove with things she tells me such as:
you have a very athletic build... (me: really... (go all blushy)
you have a great body for derby - very powerful legs and a strong muscular back (did I tell you that I am secretly in love with this woman - she just says the right things!)

so what does this mean? Well if I am going to be a PE teacher I am going to be in great shape - I want to be a role model for these little kidlets and show them that being active and healthy is THE WAY!!
