Operation Roxy - In Progress

Saturday, January 27, 2007

Personally I think this is a much better photo of Jen. I am so excited to go and learn so many new things. Get out of my comfort zone by a damn long way and get some more motivation and knowledge to do the right things by my body.

Fabulous!

This morning Loz came and picked me up and we headed for the gym. That place is packed on a Saturday morning and for basically the first time we weren't there at opening. My ankles were a bit tender and Loz had a goal of doing the steps at Palm Beach again so we headed off to Palmy and did the other lot of steps near the RSL. Great walk but God it stuffs me.

Then we drove up to the parking area at the Dunes / "Summer Bay" and parked the car and walked out to the end of Palm Beach to the rock pool and back. Sat down and enjoyed a beautiful healthy breakfast at the Cafe there called Dunes which is really quite lovely.

Actually I just googled Dunes, Palm Beach and found it has quite the following.

We burnt over 1500 calories this morning and was going to go for a swim after Brekky but Loz has a Gift Registry to put together for her wedding which is like 2.5 weeks away (So Exciting!) And neither of us remembered sunscreen & weren't to keen on burning. Although we plan to head back tonight for a swim. Must remember my camera this time!

I'm getting weird about going home at the moment which is very annoying. I love being here and I love being with my folks. I don't want to go and yet can't wait to get back all at once. With Loz's wedding around the corner I shall be back in a mere matter of days though so I will try not to fret.

I hope you are all having fabulous weekends. I hear Melbourne is cold and wet right now (boo hiss) Hoping that I bring todays weather back with me.

Couch to 5km!

Thanks very much to LMS I downloaded the Couch to 5km podcasts created by Robert Ullrey. I started last week and finished Week 1 on Sunday. Today I started week 2.

I really enjoy using the podcasts and I find them much easier than clock watching. Kek from Fit Bodies has been a great help too as I was struggling at one stage last week with some niggles and she gave me some advice that means I am running pain free now.

I had a pretty uneventful weekend, I'm trying not to spend any money as I am heading up to visit the boy at the end of this week with a girlfriend and I need to buy myself some new shoes so I can have a long running life. :) I am not going to organise a catch up this time because I have Rikki with me, but I have a WHOLE TONNE of trips planned for this year so we will definitely have a meet up.

I haven't made the decision on weather to do my Body Composition scan again or not. I'd like to but I don't but I do LOL. It's a familiar thing with me at the moment. I am also contemplating attending Phat Camp this year. I can't go the the Melbourne or Gold Coast "Camps" as I have Beauty Expo and Fitness Expo those weekends but I am considering the Sydney camp. Is anyone else interested? I have heard so many good things!

The LITS 12 week challenge is under way but we decided to allow late entries (everyone finishes at the same time so the only disadvantage is to those who entered late) I think it is traveling along great and I have been able to come up with quite a few articles and bits and pieces to help spur the challengers on. I hope it's helping.

My chart is really colourful at the moment as I have mostly completed all my daily tasks and stayed on track. It's very rewarding to get my gold star AND see my weight drop :) I'll take a photo at the end of the week and show you all what it looks like.

I am praying to continue on while I am away and I have told both my OH Jase and my gf Rikki who is coming with me that exercise, water and good food MUST be maintained everyday while we are away.

So wish me luck :)
