Oh by the way, as discussed with Rob tonight I will upping my consumption of fish oil, to help with my shins- he thinks its not shin splints but compartment syndrome - so to help with this ontop of the ice, and the other rehab, to help them heal Rob suggested to increase my fish oil to approximately 20ml per day.

So that's what I'll be doing for the next week and hopefully that will help!

Guys

I wanted to re-post something here that I have posted on my blog:

So I recieved a message from a friend that I went to high school with saying that inspired him to make a change for the better. This got me thinking who is the person or persons that inspire you?

I have a few people who have inspired me on my journey. These people are
1. Rob Downton - who is my coach at Crossfit Norwest. He's an amazing coach and also an amazing athlete. He has been able to push me to new heights and the confidence that he has given me along the way, has given me the confidence to be able to do new things - such as running 5and 10km, to be able to do push ups on my toes, to be being able to believe in myself to be able to achieve new things and complete WODs that I would have normally quit, now the word quit is no longer in my vocabularly. Rob has also changed my mindset in the way I look at things - I'm now a much more positive person, instead of thinking no I can't do this, I know think yes it's going to be tough but I'm stronger and fitter than before and I will get through this!

2. Dan Tarasenko - who has been helping me out with my nutrition and also trains at Crossfit Ignite. In the beginning it was a tough road, we seemed to be a logger heads quite a bit, due probably mainly alot on my part not wanting share everything about myself and holding somethings back, and bascially arguing with any advice that Dan had given me to follow, but slowly and surely my wall came down and I started be more open with both DAN and ROB about what I had been doing and eating, and some other things that would be affecting my eating. Big credit and thank you to Dan who didn't give up on me (even though I was a tough nut to crack - his words lol) and in the end I think we worked with each other, and I now take on board his advice without questioning it (well most of the time!)

3. All the awesome people at Crossfit Norwest - Everytime I come into the box, and see what you guys are achieving it powers and spurs me on to achieve more. I think to myself if these guys can I do it then I want to be able to be just as good. Everyone inspires to push harder through the WODs, everyone who runs with me before the sessions - Corrine, Pauline and even Mike WS (who always finishes the WOD before me, runs with me on the last run!. So everyone at Norwest thank you for inspiring me, everytime I come to train and push me to wanting to achieve more and become fitter stronger like yourselves!

So thank you to everyone who inspires me!

your kidneys are going to pack it in.
VEGETABLES. SALAD. EVERY DAY.

[GillianS25]

Alright I'll try to up the vegetable intake again... Just got to make time to cook them

[Dan]

you will have plenty of time to prep veg and salad in hospital when on a dialysis machine or when your in a full body cast because the acidic load on your body leached all the calcium out of your bones.........

[GillianS25]
