Pissed off

So I was full of beans at starting this abs and squats challenge. Got off to a great start but then my back started giving me jip. Painkillers aren't that affective, and I keep getting sciatica on and off, which means I can't exercise properly.

So, until I've seen a chiropractor (because the docs just keep throwing painkillers at me ... Not literally I hasten to add) I'm going to have to make do with slow walks and gentle yoga!

I feel like I've let myself down yet again, but what can I do with a buggered back? 

Feckin gutted! 

Monday 4th November 2013 - Day 4

Well to say I'm a bit fecked off is an understatement. Plagued with back pain all day. Hurt to even lift and bathe my son! 

Therefore I have not completed day 4 of the 30 day challenge.

I hope my back is better tomorrow. Going to have to see a chiropractor soon...

Sunday 3rd November 2013 - Day 3

Well, I ache like a mo-fo at the minute. Struggling with the sit ups because of my back and an old coccyx injury. It hurts, but I'm taking my time and doing what I can! 

I have completed each days challenge though, which is an achievement in itself for me as I currently have no motivation to do anything.

Short and sweet blog but I'm knackered and off to bed!

1 November 2013 - Day 1

Woke up this morning feeling knackered and down in the dumps. I looked in the mirror and hated the image looking back at me. 

I didn't have the confidence to post a photo of me in just my underwear, so I took a selfie of me in my joggers. Here it is:

Now before any of the haters/trolls out there start having digs at me, I had a baby only NINE WEEKS AGO! 

Some of you will probably think I don't look too bad considering and are wondering why I'm doing this 30 day challenge.  My answer to that would be for ME! My world now revolves around my son, and I don't have much time or money now to spend on myself. I'm unhappy with how I look at the minute and seriously lack confidence in myself, so much so I have to force myself to go up to Tesco a couple of times a week, else I'd not leave the house other than to visit family. 

Anyhow, here are my measurements that I took today:

I've taken my Semtex (30-45 minutes before exercise), which arrived this morning, and am now going to do the first lot of exercises....

... JEEZ!  That killed me! My sit ups were more like crunches to start with. Had to pull myself up by grabbing on to my joggers to get myself fully sitting up!! 

Did the crunches and sit ups first (10 of each). Got 10 sets into the squats and thought I was going to collapse!! I managed the full 25 though!! 

Now, even though I have shakey legs, I feel better for doing just that little bit of exercise. Plus now I'm thinking I should have saved the hoovering until after exercising because now I feel like I have too much energy, but with my back being buggered I have to be sensible and careful. 

So that's day one done! Bring on day 2!!
