Mexican standoff!

Bee coz I...did the Birdsland to Lysterfield walk today (50min pb) I got to have a Mexican standoff with a kangaroo.

The kangaroo was taller than me and he stood up on his back legs about 10meters down the track. I thought about putting my arm up above my head to make me look taller until I remembered that's what you do with emu's!

So there we were a Mexican standoff, I looked him right in the eyes and slowly moved my hands towards my pockets and reached for my iPhone camera - i won! that always works, off he jumped (camera shy)

My legs are dead - power walking 20km is not a good idea and I have a blister on my foot and sore but muscles. I'll have a nice bimble tomorrow to fix up my legs!

On the road again!

Bee coz I....often have to squeeze my exercise in before work, in winter it is pitch black when I go out and hit the road.

I had been running in the dark at the duck park and bike track but I had a couple of near misses with bikes and one case of a spooky guy just standing watching, so I decided I had to do something different for winter. I am not supposed to run on concrete pavements but can run on roads so I get up extra early 5.30am-6am ish and the road in front on my house becomes a running track, there is more lighting than on the bike track and it's less isolated.

What about cars? Well I seem to live in an area with older people so the streets are fairly dead between 5-7am. I run towards the traffic so if and when I see a car I hop up on to the nature strip sometime I see the bin man but he knows I'm there as I wave to him (he is good looking for the record).

The pic shows how light it was when I finished my run this morning. It was very foggy but not so chilly.

Tonight I was invited out to my friend Andrea's birthday. I knew I was going so did not snack all day and kept my food intake down so I could enjoy my meal. I had my usual Bombay bliss. It's a wood fired thin pizza base with tandoori chicken breast, spinach and rita and I ask for less cheese - delish!

Happy birthday to my friend Andrea x x

Planing a walk tomorrow as I have the day off, fingers crosses the weather is kind.

Cucumber sandwiches

Bee coz I....have had a hankering for cucumber sandwiches I went out and got the ingredients so I can make them for work tomorrow, I even got white bread as I just don't think I could do it on brown or seeded! I will trade off for bran in the morning!

I just use thin slices of cucumber, cream cheese (phili) with white bread. No salt, pepper or butter)

Today was a fantastic day but again it rained before and after work! The long range forecast is for a nice weekend. I also have Friday off so don't hang your washing out as it will rain.

Good night on tv tonight so I'm off to bed to watch it - bee

Home alone day 4

Bee coz I....have been home alone for 4 days - as Billy is in Tassie, I have been enjoying lots of little perks like:
* Watching TV in the lounge room
* Holding the TV remote
* Cooking the foods I like
* 20 mins extra in bed in the morning
*singstar every night.

I have missed Billy but it is nice to know he is having fun in Tassie.

My body pulled up well after Zumba last night, I was going to do a run tonight but I ended up working back tonight then I start early tomorrow and finish early so if it's not raining I will squeeze a run in then.

Off to the land of nod soon so I best be off - nighty night peeps

Goal setting

Bee coz I...know i always do better when I have a goal, I have set a new goal to lose 5kg in 12 weeks, do that takes my up to 1st October which is the date I started my health kick on 2 years ago. I will do everything in my power to get there!

Today was a great day on all fronts, I ate well, went back to Zumba. I also weighed in this morning with no change from last week so it's still 5kg to get to 40kg's hence the deadline.

Once I beat this 5kg's I will aim for another 10kg then I will sit on that.

The pic today is of my delish salad last night. It was a lashed together meal but it was so tasty. Today's food was nice but not as yummy as yesterday's.

Well I'm off because an idiot abroad is starting - love me some Carl Pilkington.

Lysterfield Lake

Be coz i...decided to walk the lake even though the weather had turned nasty and it was wild. 

It was hailing as I was walking on the dam wall! I walked the wrong way around as I new all the flooding would be at one end so left that to last as I knew my feet would get wet. 

There were so many Kangaroos at the lake, more than I have ever seen before, it was amazing and made me forget that I was very wet.

I came home and cooked a very nice dinner and had a hot shower and lounged around in my onesie.

 A perfect afternoon really - Bee

1st July 2012

Bee coz I...am child (18yr old) free for the next 10 days I am using this time to knuckle down and get into action. No naughty treats except 1 cider a week. Healthy eating all the way.

Today being the 1st day of the second half of the year is a good starting point, I will do my best to blog daily even if it's just a short one with my food diary.

This afternoon I am going for a bimble around the lake as its a bit wet to do a huge walk. Then i'm coming home to a nice steak and salad.

Better go and dig out my wet weather gear.

Bye for now
