Today’s target is 123 push-ups. Online mental health resources have come to the fore in recent years as an accessible and effective way to provide quality mental health care. One way we have seen this in action is the explosion of online mental health apps available to Australians. There are apps that can teach you mindfulness, take you through behavioural therapies, or simply help you breathe. The Black Dog Institute recently reviewed 123 mental health apps associated with suicide prevention. They concluded that, while there are some excellent resources out there, it can be hard to know which apps are based on the evidence. Luckily, the Australian National University have done a lot of the work for us. They’ve created a free portal called Beacon where you can find online health resources. Each resource has been given a ‘smiley’ rating out of five for the strength of the evidence behind it, so you know you’re getting the real deal. You can find it here: Categories | Beacon

Thanks for that link, Tru. I have saved it for future reference. Our son was recommended an app by his psyche. When I read the reviews of it someone said that there is a really annoying loud siren, even if your phone is on silent, if you haven't recorded your mood 
I can't see it listed here, but I do see that the 3 apps under the heading bipolar disorder only have one smiley face.

Today’s target is 120 push-ups. Research has shown that doing between 60-120 minutes of exercise per week can improve symptoms of depression or maybe help prevent it in the first place. There is also some evidence that it’s extra helpful to do your exercise in a group and get yourself a social boost as well.
Today is a Uni day, lecture then more athletic testing in tute. building up data to do an info-graphic report on talent identification. I suspect I will do badly on the beep test because I am still heavily congested in the chest. well that's my excuse anyway, I suck at running lol
apart from picking up either cricket coach or Oztag coach as part of Uni, I will have the opportunity to add a heap of other sports coaching certifications later in the semester including Athletics and Netball. I am also going to make time to spend watching some of the top coached work with the champion teams based at the Uni.
I hate the flu, but bub has finally gotten over it and I managed a little bit of sleep last night. Caffeine tablets and some flu tabs should help get me through the day.

Sometimes it is just not worth the effort. Maintaining existing muscle mass while loosing fat will not turn you into a muscle monster. It takes hard work and dedication to diet and training to build muscle. Ladies you do not have the hormones to build large muscles. this does not mean you cannot be strong. Remember many of the female bodybuilder pic you see are of chemically enhanced people who eat a fuck ton of food to build that muscle size. It does not happen to people loosing weight or by accident.
arrrgh, I feel like I am dying lol, It is hard work keeping up with the youngsters. testing today, 40 metre sprints, 505 test, vertical leap and standing long jump. Beep test is next week. The arthritis in my hip is killing me after the drive home. Need to rest and recover before getting in to the gym tonight.
Food wise, Nil so far, water, caffeine and a flu tablet.

Feeling a little better after a meal but the flu is hanging on including feeling a bit queezy.
Hip is giving me grief, pain seems to be originating from the bursa I had injected 6 months ago. I have taken some Targin and will see how it is in the morning.
Bodpod measurements will be done 9 am Wednesday morning, so early start to drive down to the Uni.
Time now to research ideal anthropomorphic measurements for various sports in prep for producing my info graphic for Talent identification compared to my own test results.

still having rouble throwing off this chest infection, hard to breathe today but need to get some work done around the house.
Now to try and put my muscle mass into perspective for people, I have 60kg (135 lb) of lean mass on a very short frame (5'1) this muscle does not happen by accident and it does not happen overnight. Building a lot of muscle takes a lot of time and dedication to the task, especially as a female athlete It also become much harder to maintain or build more muscle as we age.
Less muscle makes it harder to loose fat !
Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30 and Studies suggest adults can lose up to 8 % of muscle mass each decade after age 40. Lack of enough protein in the diet makes this loss worse. Older people need to do strength training more often than younger adults to maintain muscle for good health.
