Pool running?????

Hmmm - I can't believe my last pool session was Monday - oops! All that enthusiasm - where did it go? It's crazy, I get all excited about it, but the thought of really going to the pool and getting all wet really just doesn't do it for me at all. It's just an excuse, though, just like all the others. There is no physical reason why I haven't been - I can drive myself there, I can walk into the centre and I can get in the pool, but still something stops me from actually doing it. This week it was the thought of all those kids on school holidays (even though there were only about 15 people (most of those adults doing laps) in the pool on Monday night. My fears are totally irrational and I just need to get over myself, get out there and just do it!

I feel revolting at the moment - I seem to be eating worse than normal, coupled by the fact that I can't really do any type of exercise other than swimming (and we all know I'm not in the pool!) - it's really not good! I'm scared to jump on the scales - I think that 5kg gain will very easily turn into a 10kg gain if I don't watch it.

The other thing at the moment is that hubby is 'carbo loading' this week in preparation for the marathon - he's eating healthy food, but still has the occassional choccie bar or icecream to round him off. Sure, he needs it for Sunday, but I can't help eating with him and we all know I won't be out there on Sunday (or anytime in the next six weeks). It's kinda depressing, but really I am just being the good wife and supporting my husband, right?? (see I can justify just about anything! LOL). Today was a perfect example - we had a work lunch at the pub for a girl who is going on maternity leave - I could have ordered something light, but instead I went for the chicken parma option - yeah, so I ordered veggies, but come on!

On another note I have decided to home colour my hair tonight - something I have never done before. I called my friend who is an at home colourer for her opinion on which one to get. So tonight I picked up a Garnier Colour Nutrisse pack from Safeway - I'm just waiting now for it to develop. I opted for chestnut brown, which is pretty close to my natural colour, so here's hoping it turns out ok - I guess I can wear a hat for a few days if it's a total disaster until I can get to see my hairdresser!
