Getting back into the right mindset

I posted a video on Youtube on Sunday night:

I don't know what was up with me, was just feeling really down about everything.  Stressed out with work / life in general / still feeling sick and the 12WBT was just "something extra" I had to worry about.

On a positive note though I am finally starting to feel better (physically as well as mentally).  My cold is almost gone (still blowing my nose a bit more than normal but no longer thinking I'm single handily causing an increase in Kleenex's profits!)  Exercise wise I have been consistent in exercising each day, even if I haven't burnt as many calories as I would normally like:

Saturday: Personal training - 386 calories (usually burn more than this but we had an "easier" session as I was still feeling sick - i.e. it was easier than normal but I felt more dead at the end than usual!)
Sunday: Walk - 283 calories
Monday: Walk + step class - 680 calories
Tuesday: Personal training - 506 calories (what I generally burn in personal training, which I'm happy with since it is mainly strength work). 

I didn't lose any weight this week but rather than getting disheartened, I'm thinking how good it will feel when I have a loss this week (which I WILL HAVE!)

I have to go to Queensland this weekend to pick up my car (bit of a long story).  I'm flying up Saturday and driving back to Sydney over Sunday/Monday (it's a long weekend).  Trying to organise to attend the Gold Coast 12WBT bootcamp session on Sunday morning before I leave.  I'm staying in Port Macquarie on the Sunday night and have made sure the hotel has a gym I can use, so no excuses!  Now I just need to make sure I have some healthy snacks and avoid the stops and McDonalds on the drive!

About to head to Irish dancing, which I do each week.  It's not a great calorie burner (the heart rate gets up but only for short periods of time), but it's fun and I enjoy doing it,
