I am still here!

Sorry for the break, but it is for the most stupid of reasons! I went to write something and blogger had signed me out, so I could not be bothered to sign back in!
Other reasons include, but are not limited to:

• We had some family come and visit
• there were floods
• I was trying to dry out downstairs and save my house from the mould invasion
• we had family come to visit (seriously this took up so much time it had to be put in twice)
• oh and did I mention the floods?
• Ryan had an appointment at hear and say - this takes over half a day - he did so well!
  
• Keira had to get her genetic testing done (was more painful for me then her!)
• Keira has also been sick with lots of icky stuff coming out of her ... you DO NOT want to hear about that!
  
• ummm.. .is that enough excuses for lack of posting?

Where am I at in roller derby land... Training started again and I was so happy! Started with Jacks as I didnt yet have my clearance letter from physio saying - hit people hard. At the end of training I was so sore all over my whole body. My feet hurt so much I could barely walk. but in saying that I was so happy!

Wednesday night I was back at training again and really enjoyed it, until I strained my hip flexor! wtf!! thank god we train with a physio who knew what I did and how to treat it. I went home in so much pain and barely able to walk - cried lots and rang my mum. layed on ice at home and cried some more. in the morning it was feeling alot better, still hurt to move certain ways, but was not aching otherwise. Went to see my physio on Friday and get my clearance letter... happened to tell her about the hip flexor and was given a little talking to about making sure I am very warmed up and if I am feeling twinges then to take it easy - my body is trying to tell me shit while it recovers to 100% .... Then as if by magic I realised on Saturday I had not felt one twinge in ages! I love when bodies get all better nice and quick.

I was then excited to get back to Sunday training and to skate with my Queens... but alas the horrid bug that Keira has had she passed onto my Mum (designated babysitter since J was working). got a call at 10am ... was sad. Keira must have known as she then decided to poo all day for me. At least Ryan was really good, poor kid must be so stircrazy and housebound. If it is not the rain, it is his poo machine sister keeping us in.

So how have I been with food?
wellllll I made some super yummy banana loaf and ate lots of it and I am trialing a choc cake mix for Keiras birthday and ate lots of those muffins...
I really should not try to follow a diet plan as I suck at it!
I did start following the Roller Derby workout diet until I realised half way through day 1 - I am breastfeeding and I must make sure to eat enough to produce BM too. So except for the little holiday I took with some crap this past week, I will return to normal tomorrow.

Exercise
Other then my 2 roller derby days, I have been doing my physio exercises and walking with the kids on the beach a couple of times.
tonight while I was trying to get Keira to sleep I did like 50 squats, 20 lunges each leg and when I was holding her to try and get her to sleep I did the little hip check squats with the cot! It took me 30 mins to get her down, so that was 30 mins of by the cot exercise.
I am about to head to bed now, so might do some crunches and some tricep dips since Dodge put me to shame and INSPIRED me with her awesomeness on Wednesday night :D

so here is to getting back on track and keeping away from the chocolate muffins.
