Work problems

More work problems. I really can't understand people who say one thing and do another. I am totally over it. The lady who I have been trying to work with (in her business) is just so focussed on herself and how much money she is making I am sure she has forgotten the reason why she asked me to join her in the first place. Initially she had so much work and was making enough money and didn't need to make any more, so if I joined her I could take some of her referrals etc. Well I have not had one referral and all she keeps doing is complaining about howmuch work she has, how many hours she has to do (mind you she has kept everyone of the referrals to herself). I have decided today that I am going to go out on my own. I don't need this crap anymore. I will struggle on by myself.
Enough of that. Exercise has been going OK as has the diet. Well sort of on and off. Haven't put any weight back on but I really want to get back into it and see what I can really do. Have a comp on in Brisbane tomorrow so looking forward to that.
I can't believe I have just spent an hour catching up on blogs etc. I was going to do some research for work but I guess one night off that won't hurt.

Weekends!

Just love Saturdays when I don't have to rush anywhere. Although I still wake up at the usual time I really just like to catch up on everything I have put off during the week.
Have been busy organising finance for my son Ryan this week. He has a contract on a property but there are always so many hurdles with buying a house. I think he now realises what I have been trying to tell him about finance for years. He is 22 but I'm sure he thinks I know nothing until he needs help with something. Anyway fingers crossed that everything goes to plan.

My daughter Corrin has 2 more Year 12 exams this week and school is all over for her. Then we have the week at Schoolies to worry about. I really believe it is such a waste of money (her money), but they all have to do it. Surfers is just one place to stay right away from once they start.

Work has been taken over recently but I have to persist or I will be back working for someone else. I try to keep up my training as much as possible because that is my bit of a lifeline, always has been and always will be.

First comp today

My first comp day for the season today at Griffith track.It was soo hot but I always seem to perform better in the heat. Although at the end of the sessions I was pretty well drained of energy. Did jav, discus, shot, long jump & 400M. Throws were pretty average as expected due to non training and a PB in the 400. I am actually getting to like the 400. Overall I was more than happy with my times. Just gives me abit more motivation to do better.
The last couple of nights I haven't had to do anything associated with work so it was good to use the computer for myself and catch up with everyones blog.

My son has been looking to buy a home and has just rung to say he found something today.I am in the process of organising finance for him but everything seems to sell so quickly at the moment I don't know waht his chances are of securing it.

We have no training on tomorrow morning so planning to go down to North Burleigh surf club for brekky & a walk along the beach after.

1 Goal achieved

Just a quick one today as I have so much to catch up on at home. Away at a conference for 3 days last week didn't help. Too much eating & drinking & sitting around. I was really glad to get back home.
My News: I won the monthly WH & F comp for my 12 week challenge. It ended up being quite a shock, I entered because I find that to achieve I need that specific goal. I had a start/finish date & that was what I worked around. However towards the end it didn't matter that I had a finish date because I had the results I wanted and I just felt that I could have continued on.
The downside was that I did finish on the date and I have been having a bit of a holiday since.

I do have some goals with my athletics so I think I really need to concentrate on them and get back into training. I have also let work take over a bit too much so need to look at that also.

Tommy's farewell from training

Training was sort of weird today without our coach. Just doesn't seem right. We all split up into 3 groups and did our own thing. The sprinters did short fast. I did pyramid training- 200, 250, 300 and back down 300, 250, 200. Ended up being quite a good session.
Did a few throws after that. Nothing to get excited about, hovering around that 25m mark when I want to be at 30m. Maybe I will have to go back and start concentrating on my throws a bit more.
I am only training with Ashley once a week now. We are concentrating on my strength/power so sessions have been pretty tuff. Thats the way I like them to be because I know I am not going to get to the level I want unless I really start pushing a bit harder.

I haven't had a pizza for ages and last night I felt like one. Did not enjoy it one bit. Maybe it was because it wasn't a good pizza but it has certainly turned me off pizza. I felt so bad this morning. Not because I had eaten pizza but because of the effect it had on my body.
Lesson learned. Back to the clean eating for me.

Have a great week.

Has been an up and down week. Not exactly what I had planned, but still thinking positive. Things have to really start happening work wise and I just have to get out there and put my thoughts into action. Not as easy as it sounds though.
Had a couple of days off training this week and I don't like the way I feel when I don't do anything. My legs stiffen up very quickly(tight hamys). I just can't get into sprinting when they are like that. Takes me forever to warm up.
Really bad news about my sprint coach. He had a stroke and died last week. his funeral was on Thursday. He was in his 80's, so he had a good long life and was very active..He was such a dedicated person to our training. Always there for us, rain hail or shine, 3 mornings a week and Sunday as well. After he finished our training he would always do his own bit of training. I miss him already. He was one for always saying what he thought. When I first joined the group he said to me " you would actually run a lot better if you lost a stone in weight". Well I did lose that stone and I did run better. I never took offence at what he said and he always said to me that I had a big heart. Meaning that I may be one of the slower runners but I always have a go at everything and never give up. He was always full of encouragement. I guess I will always now run with him in mind.

I have to keep reminding myself to plan, plan, plan and do as I say. Yes!!!

Whats next

Well one week has passed and I am looking for new challenges. I had some mixed feelings during the week. I sort of felt 'what now' what am I going to do now. But that has now passed and I am moving on to my next goal.

I started back training because I want to and I like the way it makes me look and feel.

I am now going to concentrate on my business and at least now I feel able to cope with just about whatever comes my way. My vision is up on my wall just have to fill in the blanks. (that is dollars)

Not too proud of my before, but hey that was me then. I will never let myself get back to that stage again.
