Day 328 - the lake

Bee coz I... Finished early yesterday I had my fingers crossed all day for the late change to be late so I could go for a run around the lake. I finished at 3pm and at 2.30pm the temperature dropped about 10oC and the wind turned icy and blew some black clouds our way.

I went home resigned to the fact my run was off but after a an hour or so I decided to drive there and see what it was like. Dark clouds loomed over 70% of the sky but it was still dry so I went for my run, funny enough the sun followed me the whole way round and I despite the fact I felt sluggish I really enjoyed the run.

Then it was off to zumba where I got the sad news that they were canning Thursday night zumba - very sad and disappointed :( but it was a great last class with all the favorite tracks and we went for 1 hr and 15mins my legs were dead by the end!

Well off to another day at work I go so bye for now bee x x

Thurs
B:veggie and fruit juice
L: brown rice, tuna, tomato and snow peas and a yoghurt
D; 3 steamed dim sims and fruit

Day 327- it's not waterproof!

Bee coz I....missed boxing last night with a dodgy belly, i consoled myself with a nice long shower (6 mins to be exact) I exfoliated my face avoiding the eye area then thought to myself how good it is to feel squeaky clean, then I looked in the mirror! I forgot to take my waterproof mascara off and it was all over my face!

Best news for the week is that Bella's (my little angel motivator) family welcomed a new addition to their clan!
Welcome Julian x x

In other news there is a new class coming to the gym sh'bam it's like a cross between zumba and body jam, we got to trial a few tracks and it was great!

We have also had a spell of amazing weather which is just about to come to an end but summer is not far away this year, I just hope the rain holds off until 4pm so I get a chance to go for a run after work as I'm finishing work early today.

Well my alarm is going off so I had better wake up and get ready for work!

Day 323- saving $$$

Bee coz I....Have changed the way I shop i am saving a fortune each week. I used to just shop at my local supermarket a couple of times a week and just buy what is on special, then the other week I went to "get fresh" a store that is over the far side of the shopping village, I used to go there all the time when I lived on that side of the train line. I was surprised to see how much cheaper it was. They have meat and vegetables mostly so I start there then go across town to Aldi's then last on my list is the supermarket i used to go to for the few things I couldn't get from the other shops. I tallied it up I am saving about $50 a week!

I came home from shopping then made a quick packed lunch then went for a jog with Jane and had my lunch in the park. Summer is on it's way, it was a gorgeous day!

Last night Connie's hubby Steve told me to come visit them, I have not seen them for a while so declined an offer to go the movies with a friend, grabbed some crackers and dip and headed to theirs an hour later, when I got there, their son answered the door and said I don't think they are in, he then checked their bedroom and they had gone to bed! It was 7.10pm, so I took the goodies back home and Billy and I had some dip and crackers and watched a show about a real life murder lol

Fri night was good, went out with the girls to my fav local and drank a pint of pear cider and laughed at people taking karaoke way to seriously.

Just been for a huge walk and now going to chill for the rest of the day!

Sat
B:up and go breakfast drink on way to shops
L:fruit nuts and vita wheat crackers with cheese
D: salad and peppered beef strips and a yoghurt
S: crackers and olive dip ( not too much)

Day 319 - I know this pic is upside down

Bee coz I....can't turn my pic the right way up you will just have to live with it!

Well another long workday yesterday saw me missing my jog but as my cold is still shifting it's probably not a bad thing!

The scales are still staying stable but my exercise has been interrupted and i still am having the odd treat so thats to be expected. I am definitely better at eating well on sunny days, less tempted to have starchy foods, maybe my body and brain wants to just maintain over winter? I read that most people gain 3kg over winter and loose it in summer with out even knowing, must go back to our caveman days?

Well I have shorter days in work for the rest of the week and boxing and walk tonight so I am really looking forward to that!

Off to work now - Bee

Tues
B:branflakes
L:as above
D: chicken and salad wrap
S: hommus on toast

Day - still don't know lol

Bee coz I... picked up a cold this week I tried to not to over do it this weekend but with a long day on Friday at work it was easy to start the weekend with a sleep in, I made it to 8.15am which is great for me.

Had a great weekend with a 60th birthday on sat and a belly blessing for Tracy on Sunday. I took Jorja to the park in the morning so rod and Tracy could get ready for the visitors in peace. We had a ball running around in the park!

Had roast beef, veggies and a small baked spud at the 60th with a small taste of pav. For dessert.

Sundays food was normal but did have a small taste of orange and poppy seed cake but had a very very small lunch so it all worked out! Only managed one walk over the weekend but that was 6km so better than nothing with my cold : ) Bee

Day - not sure will fix later

Bee coz I...have started this post on 3 different days but didn't know what day it was so just gave up I decided to post anyway, I can fix the day up later! The computer is finally fixed so it makes it easier to edit things from there than my iPhone!

Busy week, full of cold, ran a huge and successful forum, went for a couple of swims a jog and a few walks and have eaten well all week bit had a few lemsips and soothers.

Spring is definitely on the way, have seen dafs, lambs and now the magnolia is blooming it just around the corner!

Still full of cold and worked 13 hrs yesterday so taking it easy today. I have found that if I stop for a couple of days my cold goes faster and I really want to go to boxing on wednesday so am being good and slowing down (ignore the 13 hr work day)

Had Jorja last Friday as Borris(pet name for Jorja's and billys new brother in the making) decided to do a test run and put Tracy through a fake labour! We realized that we were a little unorganized and are now ready for the real thing. I get Jorja when the action happens :)

Oh I just remembered I had a bite (small) of a snicker my once fav treat it felt like I was drinking raw cordial was too sweet but now I can stop thinking about them!

Have a good weekend, I am out to a party tonight x x bee

B: branflakes (will fill in the rest later)

Day 306 - a taste of summer

Bee coz I....have been out exercising every night after work I can't hardly move this morning, but I have made the most of the amazing summer days that mother nature has given us in august, 21oC today - got to love that!

Went for a run after work on Tuesday at a park near my work, it was a beautiful night and the sky was awesome. It was a nice run but it got a bit dark and a creepy guy was staring at me and turned to follow me so I bolted and sprinted my cool down until I got back to the car park where there was a group of men packing up from a ride who spotted something was wrong and looked after me which was kind, they gave me water and chatted for a bit until my heart rate came down and we all did stretches lol

Last night I went back to boxing, it was awesome. Paul the instructor is the best, then I jumped in the car and raced to Janes for our Wednesday night walk, it was so balmy we were just in tshirts and pants. Last week we had our winter woolies on! That's Melbourne for you!
