Sweet dreams...

I paid an extortionate amount for a good night's sleep (fingers crossed) with the purchase of two new pillows. I have been having some trouble getting comfortable to sleep lately, and I'm hoping that these will provide the support needed to sort out the issues I'm having with my neck and shoulders lately. I wake up in the morning feeling like I've slept the wrong way all the time.

A bad night's sleep does not a sexybitch make.

I am off to the land of nod now, and I'm planning on making it to 8.30am bodystep tomorrow morning. We shall see... I taught four classes this week, and haven't participated in any others. I'd do balance but I'm starting work at 12, and I don't REALLY feel like doing attack.

Full review on the pillows tomorrow!

Unsexy

Sexybitch was doing awesome until she was driving home from the gym today and was absolutely ravenous. It did not end well... I stopped to pick something up, and it was NOT a good choice. All in all though, I think I did reasonably well on my food intake today.


I made dinner tonight, and the family has just jumped on to the slow-cooker bandwagon. Mum redeemed some fly-buys points to buy one. I am unsure how long the novelty will last or whether it will get regular use as we don't really eat things like stews or casseroles very often.


However, I made slow-cooked lamb with garlic, lemon and oregano this evening. It was delicious. The lamb was so tender and was cooked to perfection. There are plenty of leftovers for a cold salad or wrap tomorrow, I think it will go fantastically with some sundried tomatoes, rocket and fetta. Served with roasted sweet potato, eggplant, capsicum and red onion, as well as a salad with rocket, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and bocconcini, it was a very well balanced meal and is definitely one I will use again. It was very satisfying.


The next thing to do then, in order to secure my sexybitch status, is to ensure that I carry food with me! I think putting a few muesli bars in my car would be a good idea, or maybe some nuts - portioned into some snaplock bags so that I don't eat them all in one go!


In other news, sexybitch is headed to...


LONDON, BABY!
Mum, Miffy (sister) and I leave on the 19th of July. Our return flights are not yet booked, but we are planning on staying for approximately two weeks and we are also going to spend some time in France. My uncle lives near Biarritz, and Miff wants to go to Eurodisney. Marshy's recent posts have reminded me of the perils of travelling with family, but I figure it isn't really that long, and if I'm not paying for it, then off we go!

2010: Year of the sexy bitch



So who is, or what makes our sexybitch?



A sexy bitch, as defined by moi:



  • Enjoys resistance training which makes you stronger, leaner and fitter as well as feel good
  • Uses *good*, wholesome foods as a source of fuel and enjoys the occasional treat
  • Participates in yoga and bodybalance to achieve a mind-body connection, de-stress and lengthen muscles
  • Takes care of herself by treating herself to a massage once a month and sees to any niggles before they become major injuries
  • Goes to dance classes, loosens up and loses her inhibitions
  • Enjoys learning new things
  • Spends time preparing for EVERY class she teaches

so that she:

  • Looks even hotter
  • Feels energetic and not resort to junk food and energy drinks to get through the day
  • Doesn't stress out and doesn't get tight muscles
  • Can keep on teaching group fitness
  • Gains confidence
  • Can get a new job
  • Is a FREAKIN' AWESOME group fitness instructor

because:

This sexybitch achieved sooooo much during 2009 that it would be a shame to let it all go to waste. She has set herself up for a great year, and just needs to keep making those little changes to ensures she takes hold of all those opportunities she gave herself.
