I have been thinking about this a lot over the weekend, so much so I decided to write a post about it. Sustainability - in other words is your lifestyle, exercise and diet regime sustainable? I think so, as for me The Belly Blitz lets you do more or less whatever you want, doesn't exclude any food groups and is tailored to your body and your timescales. I don't feel guilty if I have a glass of wine or a bar of chocolate, I am only human and I want to enjoy life without the guilt trips. It is all about balance as I have said so many times.
The reason I have been thinking this is a variety of people I know are doing different things - no carbs, fat free, no alcohol etc all under one guise or another. But is it really sustainable? Can you see yourself for the rest of your life NEVER having a carb again? Or forever eating fat free and never having that apple pie and ice cream? I know I can't, and many of these regimes are great, you see results then as soon as you get to where you want to be and start being "normal" again, the weight or the body fat starts creeping up again as your body adjusts back to what normal is.
So I ask again, is your current regime sustainable? If so then FANTASTIC, you have found that balance and can look forward to a healthy and active life, not restricting yourself in terms of food and drink. If not....then maybe it is something to think about. You are more likely to succeed in the long term if what you are doing is easy, doable and fits into a "normal" life.
Happy Blitzing!

The PX90 or P90X craze
I am sure most of you have heard of this, and for those that haven't, it is basically a 90-day workout and diet routine that has you working out on a different part of your body every day for muscle confusion. One day its back and arms, another day its legs, then it could be yoga, then Cardio etc.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that it is EXACTLY what I have been doing with The Belly Blitz! I only recently heard of P90X as some friends are doing it and it is going really well for them. They are eating more than they would normally as are eating the right requirements for a body that is actively working out, and are mixing up workout routines. It actually made me really happy as this is exaclty what I have been saying in my Belly Blitz blog.

- MIX up your workouts so your body doens't get used to doing the same thing all the time
- DO a combination of cardio, interval and strength training
- DO eat and snack as your body needs fuel, just eat the right things

Comfort Eating
Morning all. I had some bad news this week, that I won't go into here, but I am a comfort eater. So I have been baking and eating and eating.
However, I am not going to beat myself up about it, or feel guilty or starve myself to compensate. It's my, and maybe the body's, way of dealing with loss, sadness etc. So I will continue to do my workouts and next week with any luck will be back on the calorie count track!
I just thought it made a good topic in here as I am sure I am not alone in the comfort eating stakes. Do it. Use it to heal or whatever and then move on. DON'T feel guilty, in the grand scheme of things it is only a few days.

Bike Rides and Embarrassment
This will make you laugh. Yesterday I decided to take Callum and Lupe for a bike ride down to the beach. Loops needed a good run and I enjoyed my ride last week. I felt so impressed with myself for unhitching the chariot mechanism off Scott's bike and onto my bike, setting the chariot up for a ride as opposed to a run. Popped Callum into his seat, got the dog ready and off I went.
MY GOD was it hard work! I must have gone about 2 or 3km, my thighs burning and my lungs about to explode, thinking it's never this hard running with Callum, why would it be hard cycling with him? (This was my first attempt at pulling the chariot). I stopped at the top of a hill, having slogged my way up it, and called Scott, wanting to give him my respect for always pulling the chariot.
"I take it all back," I say to him. "It's not as easy as it looks pulling the chariot." Panting and sweating into the phone...
"Really?" Scott says. "Have you let off the brake?"
THE BRAKE! OH MY GOD how STUPID do I feel!!!!! After feeling so good with myself for setting it all up, I forgot to go back to the chariot and TAKE OFF THE DAMN BRAKE! No wonder my thighs and lungs were burning! SO MUCH EASIER if you take off the brake!
Well, at least I gave myself a REALLY good work out. Scott then told all the guys at work and they all had a good laugh. No wonder, what a numpty. I'm calling it a blonde moment with a bit of baby brain thrown in for good measure...

Week 8: weekly weigh in and stats and some advice on finding the balance.
Ok, first here are my stats:
Weight 65.6 KG DOWN Half a kilo!
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 38inches DOWN HALF AN INCH
Bust: 35 inches UP AN INCH but I think it depends on when I have fed callum, what bra etc as overall my boobs to me seem smaller but hey ho!
Sandy asked some very good questions in a comment in my previous post which I have tried to answer as best I can, it may make interesting reading for some of you.
Something that I do want to stress is losing weight is not an exact science. Like everything, what works for one person may not work for you, that is why we need to be in tune with our body's wants and needs and find the balance that works for us. It may be something as little as an extra 50 calories a day or dropping carbs by 10%. All our bodies process foods and exercise in different ways. If we are a person who has never really exercised, our body then has to work out what it needs to do to fuel this new activity and feed itself so it may take a little while to find that balance but it will happen. For me it took a little while to find what worked for me. I stuck at 71kg for 4 weeks and was getting really disheartened. I stuck to it though, I upped my cardio and dropped the strength training to 4 and 2 sessions, making 2 of my cardio interval training to try and kick start my metabolism again. I also made 1 meal a day pure protein and dropped the carbs (for that meal). I would have a chicken/avocado salad for lunch or an omelette. I still ate carbs, and I still snacked but it worked for me.
Another thing to keep in mind is as your weight decreases, you may need to adjust your calorie intake. When I was heavier, about 77/80kg, I was eating about 2500 cals a day. My body was bigger and it needed more fuel to move around. When I reached 71kg I dropped down to 1800/2000 cals a day. I won't go below 1800 while I am breast feeding but if I was no longer feeding Callum then I would probably drop to 1500/1600 a day at about 65kg. I know weight watchers adjusts the points values you are allowed as you lose weight. A heavier body needs more fuel to move so it makes sense that as you lose weight your calorie requirements lower too.
AND ALWAYS KEEP A DIARY! It really does help, you can look back and see what weeks you really lost weight and what you did and ate in that week. What workouts you did and what foods you ate. Though remember, a workout you did 4 weeks ago may not be enough now so up the intensity to adapt for your new fitness level.
As always, Happy Blitzing!

Feeling Human Again
Feeling MUCH better today, WHOO HOO! Though hoovering the house has bathed me in a cold sweat so I need to sit down for a second LOL! I will definitely be back tomorrow with weekly stats maybe some pictures and more workout advice. And T (You KNOW who you are) promised to take workout photos as Scott has been so slack, and yet SHE hasn't come up with the goods yet either.....maybe this week?!
A sneak preview for my stats tomorrow, I just weight myself and I am no longer in the 66.x kg but the 65.x kg C'MON!

Being Ill Sucks...
After feeling pretty good about missing the bug/virus both Callum and then Scott had, I was hit Thursday night and have been as sick as a dog since then. Temperature spiking to 102deg and just having no energy so needless to say no working out for me! I did take Lupe for a bike ride along the beach during the day on Thursday, how gorgeous is this? makes you WANT to go for a run or a ride.
So this week I think I made it to 2 or 3 workouts. We tried to go for a walk today, just a walk, but was bathed in sweat and out of breath! Not good! Resting up and seeing how I feel Monday. At least I have had no appetite so eating loads isn't an issue!
Though I should add here, that if you are ill with a virus or bug then working out is the last thing you should be doing.There is a risk that hard cardiovascular work when you have a virus can work the virus round your system fast and you can end up iller than you were before. So REST FLUIDS REST FLUIDS AND REST AND FLUIDS!
I hope to be back to fighting fit Monday for a new week of workouts and exercise.

The importance of snacking
I cannot stress enough how important it is to snack! Think of your body as a car. If you are going on a long journey you fill up the car whenever it is nearly empty, not just 3 times. our bodies are the same, when we feel empty we need to fill up so we have the energy to keep going. starving yourself or restricting yourself to just 3 meals is going to leave you hungry, tired and fed up.
You need at least 3 snacks a day, mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening. I am not saying eat a bagel or a muffin or a cake but something healthy that is going to keep you going. Complex carbs keep you feeling full and release energy slowly, and proteins stop you feeling hungry and crashing.
A great mid morning snack is an apple and a piece of cheese. I use babybels as they are the right portion size and the light version is only 50 cals but it is not the cheapest option. If you have the will power (I don't!) Then buy a block of cheese and slice off a portion size (not quite as big as a match box). I posted a topic in January called great high protein snacks, it really does have some good ideas for your snacks.
Another thing is try and not leave your workout till last thing at night. You will flood your body with adrenalin and endorphins making it hard to sleep, then you will wake up feeling groggy and lethargic. Yoga at night is great as it unwinds your body but any aerobic activity should be completed by 8pm in my opinion. Then have a long hot shower or even a bath to unwind and help you sleep.

Week 7: weekly weigh in and stats
OK, I was getting abuse yesterday for being a bit latchy in getting my stats up...SO HERE THEY ARE!
Weight 66.1KG DOWN 200g (not a lot but enough! nearly half a pound)
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 38.5 inches DOWN HALF AN INCH
Bust: 34 inches DOWN 1 INCH
So still going in the right direction which is good. My jeans are starting to feel loose around my bum too which is great, its all those lunges! And I was paid a very nice compliment yesterday that my tummy looked great for having children, it made my day!
How has everyone else got on? I am not working out today as I have some horses to work on and that is a mini workout in itself! But I am picking up my yoga again to help with my flexibility and toning.

Apologies...again!
I seem to be apologising a lot recently! My wee man has not been well. He has had a virus this week coupled with teething and a cough = no sleep for me and a hard time working out! I have managed 2 runs, a bit of a walk and a workout so not all bad but all I want to do right now is curl up in bed and sleep for about 12 hours!
I will see how the stats go tomorrow though I swear I can see some belly definition from all the core work, C'MON!

Running and Workout Advice
I was chatting to a friend today who also has recently had a baby but used to be really fit. (we both played hockey, running etc) and through chatting I found we used the same method that I thought I would share.
If you are running on a treadmill or outside or working out in general and you get to that point that you want to stop and take a break, run harder and faster or add some incline, do an extra set of reps if working out, even if just for a couple of minutes, and then drop down to the intensity level you WERE doing when you felt tired and it will feel like you have had a break! Its all in the mind and it fools your body to work harder, increasing your fitness and fat burning abilities.
So go get running!

Keeping a Journal
I wanted to share a little bit of advice that I find helps me a lot. Its keeping a journal of my workouts.
I wear a heart rate monitor to keep a track of my heart rate and the different zones I am in. I write these down in my diary/journal noting what I have done, how long for and my max/avg heart rate. This way looking back I can see my fitness progress as well as my weight loss progress.
For example, today at hockey I only burnt 620 odd calories and I ran around more than I used to. My first game back in October I burnt nearly 1000 calories and I didn't run nearly as much. This tells me I have really increased my fitness as my body is coping better with the aerobic and interval work.its just another milestone won and gives you the boost and encouragement to keep going.

Week 6 Recap...
Well, that is my 6th week over and I am feeling good. My favourite jeans fit me again, my old hockey skort fits me again and I am starting to feel more like me. Still a long way to go, the excess belly skin and fat is still there but all going in the right direction. Having a baby is HARD!
I know I keep promising this but Scott WILL take pics of some of the workouts this week. Callum is just over 14lbs so he is a good weight and he loves when I use him.
Last week I think was a well needed break after nearly 5 months of working out but this week has definitely been easier.
Tomorrow is weigh in and stats...eek!

Hockey, hockey....HOCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY
Of the field variety! I am playing hockey today and am SO excited. It is such a great work out, and I know it works pretty much every muscle in my body and gives a really good cardio and interval work out. I know in the USA, field hockey isn't too popular but you can join a soccer team, volleyball, basketball...anything really. The friends you make with the camaraderie and banter keep you going and it becomes an easy regular way to work out. It also gives you a reason to do other fitness to improve your form on the field.

A little fat burning tip
There is a well known spice we ALL have in our cupboards at home that helps regulate insulin levels which in turn helps our bodies to burn fat by regulating sugar levels.
And what is this miracle little spice I hear you all ask...CINNAMON! But that is not an excuse to go and eat a cinnamon bun every day.
It is a great antioxidant as well as other things and what I normally do is first thing in the morning and maybe twice throughout the day, instead of a cup of tea or coffee I have a slice of lemon with boiling water and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Its a great start to the day and helps flush out your system. Try it for a week and see how much better you feel! It is also great to add to cereal etc instead of sugar as it is naturally sweet.

I'M DEFINITELY BACK!
Well, I went for a 5k run today with Lupe and Callum and I enjoyed it so much! I think last week my body was really asking for a rest to regroup and recuperate because this week I feel so much better and looking forward to my workouts again. I am a BIG believer in listen to what your body wants, in terms of food and in terms of rest and exercise.
This is the beach I run along in Vancouver, how can you NOT enjoy this? A nice cool day but the sun is out and when you get home your face has that rosey glow and your muscles are nice and achy. Superb!
Strength training tomorrow and then I have a hockey game on sunday....so a GREAT week!

Good Intentions and a Spanner Called Lupe
Hi folks,
Well, today I had ALL good intentions to go for a run or have a row. However, this was hindered by my dog. Lupe is, shall we say, peeing out of her bottom! Not sure if it is something she has eaten, food or some sort of parasite but it isn't pretty! She even messed her bed last night which is so unlike her and she has been very lethargic all day. So I have been juggling Callum and having to take the dog outside every 5 minutes to go toilet, NICE! I have had a very poo filled day!
After a trip to the vets, some antibiotics and new food fingers crossed we will be going for a run tomorrow, then working out saturday and hockey sunday and my week will be complete!

Circuit Training
Hello all you Blitzers. I am definitely back, with motivation! Today I went to circuit training...I had forgetten two things:
1- How much I LOVE circuit training
AND
2- How much it hurts!
This just PROVES you need to mix it up. Our bodies are such versatile vessels it doesn't take them long to get into a routine and get used to the things we do. In turn, the more accustomed to something we are the less benefit it has for us.
SO MIX IT UP PEOPLE to keep your body burning fat and your metabolism raised.
HAPPY BLITZING!

Week 5: weekly weigh in and stats
First of all apologies for not blogging yesterday and generally being lame last week. I did force myself to do 4 workout sessions, 1 of which was a long family walk on Sunday. In the week I burnt off 1,180 cals according to my monitor but I haven't gone through it to get each individual workout summary.
We had a big party for burns night on saturday with lots of food and booze so I was a little worried stepping on the scales monday morning.
HOWEVER....I did manage to lose 0.2kg (about half a pound!) AND my favourite Ted Baker jeans slid on saturday so I am SOOOO happy! They are a UK 10/CAN 6 so happy happy HAPPEEEEEEEE!
Stats -
Weight: 66.8kg 147lbs DOWN HALF A POUND
Waist: 28.5in DOWN 0.5 INCH
Bust: 35
Hips: 39
Slowly getting there and motivation seems to be coming back. How has everyone else done?
