Working on my physio exercises today. I've been discharged from Physio but I have to keep the exercises up to keep my knee strong. My legs are atill feeling it after my pre training two days ago! Walking is not fun right now. I've had to take a few days off exercising to recover. I must have lost so much strength over the last few months. On the positive, I was weighed at the GP yesterday. Going by his scales I'm down 1kg. I usually use the scales at work. So I will double check on them tonight. But if I have lost a kg, yay!

Gold coast holiday booked for the end of July. I seriously need to work on losing weight before then. I'm on afternoon shifts atm. So I'm about to go for a walk to the supermarket and buy salad ingredients. I thought I might give Bbg pre training a try. I'm unsure if my knee is totally ready for all of the squats and lunges. But I figure if I just try to do one full set of each circuit then it may survive? Obviously if it gets painful or anything I'll stop.

Okay, so
My brain is ok. I've finally seen the neurologist and he said that he's not even sure why I had MRI's. He thinks they were totally uncalled for and that there was nothing abnormal on them anyway! I'm so so relieved. After months of worrying and researching I finally know that my head is ok! That being said, I am still overweight. I know that BMI's are crap. But mine just puts me in the obese category. Which isn't ideal. So I still totally need to sort out my body. I think I put on about 5kg while I was out of action with my healing knee. I am currently exercycling for about 40minutes three times per week. On the in between days I do my knee strengthening exercise. I am eating more salads and saying no to the junk. So I'm working on it.

Update on life
So, I’ve been a little MIA for the last few months.I somehow managed to injure myself in the weirdest way. I dislocated my knee! I wasn’t playing sport or doing any BBG. I just twisted wrong and pop. Out it went. It happened at work and was super embarrassing. 
So yeah, I am getting back into working now and slowly increasing my activity. I won’t be doing any BBG for awhile. Squats are a little difficult still and I don’t even want to try burpees! Hahaha. 
I also may have a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It means there is too much pressure in my head (probably from too much cerebral spinal fluid). In August I had an eye test, then I was referred to the hospital. After putting appointments off due to my planned holiday and knee, I went to the eye clinic in November. They scheduled some urgent MRI’s. I have a neurologist appointment in two weeks where they will probably officially diagnose me. This condition is more common in women, those who take the contraceptive pill and those who are overweight (I tick all of these boxes - just a bit of motivation to lose weight).
But otherwise, life has been good. It’s been summer here. Not the greatest summer, but I’ll take it. While I was out of action I put on a few kg’s. I’m slowly trying to get active again and sort out my eating. We had to cancel our Australia trip. So hopefully we can try go midyear sometime. Need to get confident in my body and looking good by then!

Pretraining week 3
Kicked off week three today. I know it's Tuesday. But I had a crazy day at work yesterday so delayed my workout until today. Anyway. This week weights are added into the mix. My thighs are definitely feeling it after the weighted squats and lunges. Thank goodness for my foam roller ❤ it's helping me not to die too much. I was feeling like although I'm getting stronger, nothing else is changing. Which is a bit disheartening when I've been eating so well and avoiding all the snacks at work. But, I jumped on the scales and have lost 1kg. So that's exciting. 1kg at a time and I get there.

Goodmorning 🌄😘 Photo taken on my 630am drive to work. One of the perks of shift work is seeing the sunrises/sunsets. I almost had to start work at 3am. Someone was sick over night and there didn't look like anyone could cover. But at the last minute they found someone. Thank goodness.

Online shopping 😍💓🛍 I'm going on holiday to Australia later in the year. Thought now would be a great time to upgrade my bikini! And maybe provide some motivation to look great in it. This one has bra size tops - which is a definite must for me. Looooove.

LISS at the river and a very steady shift. I had to escort patients to other wards and all sorts. Plus my walk this morning had a few hills - that's why my floors climbed is so high. An orderly asked me if I've lost weight today. Very sweet but I don't think so - it's a work in progress! Definitely time for bed. Then a full body workout in the morning! Goodnight x

So far week two of pretraining is going good -ish. My legs are already stronger. I really struggled with the leg workouts in week one. But they seemed so much easier this week. I wasn't dying from them. Yesterday was abdominal and arms. I didn't finish the four sets. I think I completed three. I have these weird headaches this week that make my eyes sore. So I was in a bit of pain and needing to get eye drops. But I'll go for a decent walk for my LISS today and then into the full body workout tomorrow. 😊💪 I've been good with my eating too. There are always treats from thankful patients at work. But I have resisted temptation and left them alone! Eating well while working shift work is such a mission!

About to jump into BBG PT week 2. Let's get this leg workout done! It turns out that lots of people at work are currently doing the BBG workouts too. One nurse told me exactly where to find a great foam roller. So that's on my to do list for today. I'll be needing it after this workout. Legs is a killer! I'm trying to be so good with my eating. I'm drinking loads of water and opting for more veges in my meals. At a family roast I avoided the potato and loaded up on kumara and vegetables instead. I've been cutting back on my coffee (although I will never stop) and turning down extra snacks.
