tum

Ive been having issues with my tummy for about a year- gurgling, 'popping' and more stuff i'll save you from.
Ive tried a food diary, looked at how my tummy reacts after certain food and no joy really. I first thought it was white cooked onions but then i'd have some in something (and i would only find out later) and nothing.
Then i had lunch at the weekend and i had to rush to the nearest loo...lunch consisted off:
tomato and leek soup
cheese toastie (with white onions but i took them out)
banana smoothie.

so this week im trying the no dairy lots of fibre attack as a work colleage mentioned it sounded like IBS (please no!) or dairy intollerance (again noooo i love cheese, cheese on pizza, milk smoothie's). Food diary too and a visit to the dr's.
we shall see.....

any hints/ tips would be helpful!!!

fitting it in

I looked at my training plan for the week that always get on a sunday night. Sometimes i get twisted into a mess when i look at my diary and try and fit it all in- can i do a long bike the night after a long run, can i fit in the cinema on a wed, what morning will i need a sleep in....nightmare.
This week looks like this (and its only may!)
Monday swim am, run pm
Tuesday swim am, bike and run pm
Wed pm run
Thur swim am, pm bike
fri swim, pm run
sat swim and then windtrainer and core
sun run

erm day off?

So it ended up looking like this
mon rest day (i physically couldnt do anything with work commitments)
tue swim am, gym bike and run pm (before all important haircut)
wed rpm class am, pilates pm
thur swim am, run intervals pm
fri Rpm am, swim pm
sat cycle to work (and work all day) and then cycle home

Any tips/ ideas about important sessions i should be doing over others? How do you lot cope with busy schedules?!!

Pilates (Pirates)

Ive been having one on one Pilates (or Pirates as my partner likes to call it) for about a month now. I'd recommend it to anyone who is having pelvic, lower back pain. My whole way of walking, sleeping, sitting, running, biking, swimming posture has changed and for the better! No more back pain AT ALL and im able to stand up for long periods of time comfortably.
The exercises are moving further into core strength than the physio poses i was doing and get my glutes firing finally (my right one wasnt at all thus the back pain and the 'catching').
Love it!
