Melbourne Bloggers Dinner and More!

Thursday was a bit of a dramatic day for me and I don't remember exactly what or exactly why but I jsut wasn't going to go to the bloggers dinner. I mean I had a crappy day and I would have to fight traffic in - find a spot to park and then meet these people I haven't met before in a place I don't know!
Then get out and get home.

THANKFULLY I was on a determined streak and decided nothing was going to stop me. I am so pleased this was the case because I got to meet with some beautiful people who it seems I do kind of know after all. I mean reading blogs etc means you have a connection with these people who are all on the same path as yourself.

I was very lucky to enjoy dinner at Syracuse on Bank Pl in the city with Brooke, Ashley (who has a new blog please check it out!)Kathryn who thankfully I have met before, Linda, Lucinda and Phillipa Which is also where you will find the pictures! I feel so thrilled to be able to count these wonderful and inspiring women as my friends and I am looking forward to next time!

I have done virtually nothing this week with my neck injury but I have now been given the all clear to train as long as I dont strain my neck any further as it seems to be a muscular injury rather than spinal (THANK GOODNESS) You can really tell in the blogger meet up pics that it was playing up. And by the time I got home it was migraine time. The taillights and blinkers on cars on the way home were a killer.

I have been shopping a bit lately - Westco is having a sale and I have picked up a few items for just $13.95! Bargain. I need to shop some more though as it has just dawned on me that I have NO warm clothes that fit! Which is kind of OK for lazy days at home in an oversized polarfleece. But I need something to be able to leave the house in too!

I missed my training session this morning at the park but ended up going for a run/walk/stumble around the block instead which I am proud of. It hurts so much more outside! And why does the air burn your throat while you try and breathe? I hate it! BUT I still did it. And Storm was a willing participant which was great. Having company and all. I would love an iPod! But out of the budget at the moment. Hell it was supposed to be one of my first rewards and they are finally in stock (4gb nano white) and now I can't afford it. (arrgghh)

Back to training tomorrow! I have 4 official BFL challenge weeks to go and I plan on BLITZING IT!

The Living in the Suburbs new 6 week challenge starts as of tomorrow! PLEASE head on over and join up! There are rewards and prizes to be won and it's all about YOU! I would really love to see alot of you over there. It's a great forum and a wealth of support information and assitance on top of our challenges.
