A DAY AT THE MUSEUM
21ST CENTURY LAWN MOWER
THE THINGS WE FIND IN TOWN THAT WE NEVER KNEW WERE THERE
Exercise: Bodyweight Circuit B, Bike Intervals
On my way into the changing rooms at the gym this morning I passed 3 women who were on the ski type machine (sorry, no idea what the actual machine is called). Of course they were using it incorrectly, as do most of the women I see using them. They were all chatting to each other and seemed very happy and jovial
So how chuffed was I when I came out of the changing rooms to see one of the personal trainers showing them how to use the machine correctly. And how much of a giggle did I have when I saw that they were no longer chatting and giggling as they had to actually put a bit of effort into using the machines properly
What an absolutely fantastic day today. Clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine. I wish every winters day was the same as this
Exercise: 7.2km Run/Walk – FTG National Park – Supanovas
Had a great workout today. Met Michelle at the carpark of the FTG National Park. We walked up the Lyrebird Track (which is the track next to the 1000 steps). I was really chuffed (not puffed!!) that I didn’t have to stop once on the way up. I’m hoping it’s all the squats and lunges I’ve been doing that have strengthened my legs.
We then ran back down the long way.
It was great to catch up with Michelle. Even though I saw her last week it’s been ages since we had a proper girly gas bag
Yes, yes Stu, I’m getting around to posting some of the photos (not all of them will make it onto the internet 
)
So it was a fantastic evening out. We ended up at Marquee in South Melbourne. I think we were one of the first to arrive, due to the free drink if we get there before 10pm. You had to also mention a password, which was “Love Game”, so I was told. I automatically thought of John Paul Young, but was later told that it was Lady Gaga’s song 
(showing my age there!!).
It didn’t take long for the place to fill up (with children mainly 
) but as we’d got there early, we’d grabbed a table and a good spot near the dance floor. They played mostly current stuff until about 11pm, when the upstairs room opened and most of the kids went up there. The music then changed to loads of 80’s stuff and we all jumped on the dance floor and boogied the rest of the night away
Exercise: 10km Run/Walk – Lilydale Lake (Trigons)
FOG
Lilydale Lake was shrouded in fog this morning. Took quite a while for it to lift too. It wasn’t too cold though, which was a good thing
For the first 5km I walked, then for some reason my body wanted to run, so I ran. It felt comfortable
There are seats littered around the lake, so I also incorporated pushups into my run/walk routine. Every time I went past a bench I stopped and did 10 pushups. Not sure exactly how many I did, but it must have been more than 100!!!
As I sit typing this now my hamstring is achy 
Does anyone know why people exercise in jeans? I don’t get it. Surely it must be so hot and uncomfortable to power walk in them.
Here’s a few photos from the lake this morning.
Exercise: 7.5km Walk – Lilydale Lake (8’s Blue)
Geez I’m really not enjoying the sudden burst of winter. The wind this morning was really bitter and it went right through me. It took me until 5km before I took off my gloves. Neck warmer, hat and jacket were kept firmly in place. It was only when I got in the car when I’d finished that I finally felt warm
Went to the Chiro again today and she worked on my hamstring, which is really tight and pulling badly. Now when I say she worked on my hamstring, she didn’t actually touch the hamstring, she played around with my foot, my back and my pelvis, which in turn has loosened my hamstring. Weird huh
Okay, gotta go get dolled up for the girly night out. Should be a good one
Exercise: Circuit B, Bike Intervals
Cold, cold, cold, cold cold
I do not envy anyone having to get up early to do any kind of exercise today.
Was more than happy to do mine in the gym
I wanted to go for a drive up Mt Dandenong to see if any snow had fallen but unfortunately I ran out of time. I did read that Olinda had a dusting
Looking forward to a girly night out on Friday night. Should be lots of fun as there will be a crowd of us. Look out whatever the place is called that we’re going to (sorry, no idea where, I’m just following the mob ). I’ve even been out and bought a new dress
Photos may or may not follow…..depends
My life has revolved around food over the last couple of weeks.
I’ve changed my eating habits and am now following a 6 week metabolism restart plan (if anyone is interested I can send you a pdf of the plan )
So as I had a bit of spare time on my hands, I thought I’d take you through my food intake for a day
Breakfast starts with Bacon and Eggs, followed by a small banana. The bacon is free range (supposed to be organic but I just can’t justify paying $12 for 8 pieces!!). Eggs are supposed to be organic, but once again I just can’t justify the extra $4, so I’m using free range, barn laid!!
Next are my snacks. I have these in between breakfast and lunch, and also between lunch and dinner. My favourites are almonds, strawberries and carrots, but I can also substitute chicken sausages for the almonds if I wan’t a bit more fullness!! There’s also the option of having 2 hard boiled eggs, which I mix with a bit of organic butter then mash it all up and add a few bacon bits on the top for flavour
Lunch is usually a salad with either Tuna on top or a Turkey Burger, which I’ve added Chilli and Lime seasoning to so that it gives the burger a bit of zing
Then comes dinner. Stirfry with Chicken. I also add some Soy Sauce and some Extra Virgin Olive Oil to cook the chicken in. These give flavour. (The Apple Cider Vinegar goes on my salad at lunch!). I chuck some spinach into the veggies too.
There’s a bit of prep work involved, which I’ve done on a Sunday. I cook up the Turkey Burgers, cut up the Chicken and Carrot sticks and measure out and bag my Almonds. This then means that I’m set up for the week and it’s quick and easy to organise and prepare everything
Am happy to report that I’ve now dropped 3kg in 2 weeks!
Exercise: 10km Walk – Local (hilly) Streets (Sequences)
Isn’t it great that we’re finally getting some rain. Not sure if it’s reached the catchment areas though, but happy that it’s reached my garden and my new roses are being watered in well
I needed a few things from the supermarket today so decided to walk. I know that it’s a 10km round trip as Michelle and I used to run the loop a couple of years ago.
Can’t believe the price of strawberries has risen by $2 a punnet in a week. Did something happen that I am not aware of? Does everything go up in price on the 1st June?
I saw this sign on my travels today and for some reason it just doesn’t do it for me 
Here’s the photo of the lake that I took on Friday. It’s actually an area out the back, in the wetlands part of the park.
And a big HA HA to Chris on Masterchef. So much for your plan to pair up warring couples. Backfired hey
This is my new favourite song at the moment
