FEEL THE BURN

OMG OUCH - But we'll get to that in a little while :p

Got up early this morning but not as early as I was going to so I didn't get my morning walk - AND Thank god I don't stink today! YAY

I ended up running late for my doctors appointment because I was wearing my white top and white jacket when my lovely Rotty Storm decided to jump up to give me a hug goodbye as I put her outside Muddy paw prints all over me and I had to find something else to wear.

So I didn't get to mix up my brekky either - get down the doctors and realize I don;t have my water, no I neeeed my water. I now can't live without my water (amazing how your body can change so quickly) Get through my doctors appoint all fine and decide to grab some more Optifast so I got Vanilla Milkshakes and The Dessert - Now the milkshakes come 21 in a pkt
The Dessert - 8 to a packet And the Dessert is only half the price of the milkshake! :-s
Ah well I am told the dessert is nice and it will last me ages anyway because I'll only have it occasionally.

Then I decided it was time to go look at some rollerblades - well I learnt a bit from the guy at Rebel. I got some Blade X, rubber wheeled, ABEC 3 (they are bearing types) blades that have a semi soft boot so they won't break if I fall over or anything.

The rubber wheels mean a smoother ride - ABEC 3 means a middle range bearing, not too fast and not too slow. Right in the middle.

Then we continued our shopping - because of my build I go through the legs of my pants so quickly and have found that I have no trackies left. So we went up to Millers who had 2 nice pairs of trackies (as far as trackies go) so I grabbed them and then left over from their sale their was a great green patterned shirt so I threw that on and it fit and for $9.95 how can you go wrong?? (I have only 1 shirt in my wardrobe and I figure I can get it taken in when I drop size)

Then we stopped in at Priceline on our way out (right near Donut King where they were cooking fresh Hot Cinnamon Donuts YUMMM - I resisted!) where right out the front they had hand blenders for $8.95. Since Josh already broke ours I bought that to mix up my milkshakes.

We did a hell of a lot of walking on our journey today and I was starting to feel it by the time we had lugged everything back to the car. But Mum and I were dying for a drink and I was dying for a milkshake.

So we got home and had some brunch and I started on a bit of a home clean up. The Vanilla shake is nice too but it doesn't taste like just Vanilla it tastes kinda like custard.

Chatted to a couple of friends and realized for the first time ever when people ask me How I am I am saying Great. Normally I say tired, bit sick, yeah average, alive, shit, not bad is for when I am good. But all of a sudden I don't feel like crap anymore I feel good - I feel great!

I strapped the pads on (well wrist and elbow pads as I felt like I was going to be strangled by the knee pads as they are soooo tight) And got my new blades on and almost fell on my arse before I left the house - As a kid I had much more co ordination on these things.

I tell you what - I thought this was going to be fun and gentle exercise I could do in the afternoon after walking in the morning everyday without straining myself - ROLLERBLADES ARE A GREAT WORKOUT!!!

I managed to stay upright (just) and found even doing a slow walking pace my arse burns, my legs are burning and I huffed and puffed my way home. I have not pushed myself so hard (and it was full of fun and laughs the whole way) in a DAMN long time - not even when I was at the gym. I highly recommend getting out there and trying these things. BUT wear your protection! I know sometime this week I am going to fall over - I am all unco and I can't stop LoL

It's been just over an hour since I got home and I am still sore! But loving it!
Let's see how I go tomorrow.
