On the Interwebs

I almost made it to Attack after work today – I had such good intentions all day.  But my headache had other ideas.

So I was lucky enough to have some company on a walk.  Mr. J joined me for 4.29km in 45 minutes.  It is so much nicer having some company.  I need to incorporate some jogging, but I’m not very confident running outside… something to work on.

But – the GOOD news is: – - -> we finally have the internet at our new place!!!  So I am going to try my best to get back to regular posting, and remembering to take some pictures…!

Guess what I am doing tonight – True Blood anyone?  I have a few to catch up on – It’s only been 5weeks or something!  Plus the new Breaking Bad episodes are ready to go too!

Uni work?  What uni work?!

Normalising

Getting back into routine.  Still sore and tired, but managed a 4km walk today, getting home just before the rain settled in! See it here 

Although I took it easy yesterday (Friday), I somehow managed to still see higher results on my Body Media stats.  I am guessing it has a lot to do with the last four days upping my metabolism.  Awesome, I’ll take it thanks!

As you can see, I am sticking with my goal of recording my calories consumed, and therefore my calorie deficit
I also need to remember my other goals, such as classes, and Km’s achieved etc.  Time to get stuck into August, and see some results!

Off to the theatre today, to see Bell Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

The Weekender

Started the weekend with my regular – a brisk walk at the lake. I’m a bit disappointed that it was only 6km again, but my pace is improving. Next weekend if all goes well, I will push it to 8km…

After that it was quick shower, berry smoothie and a bit of a relax before – I was off to the hairdresser for the second time this week. They couldn’t fit in cut and colour, Tuesday, so I was spoilt and got to have a profesh blow wave twice this week. But, it was $$! Still not 100% happy with the whole fringe saga, but I am coming to accept it And I have decided to invest in a Parlux hairdryer to ease the pain

After that it was a coffee catch up with a friend that turned into a 3hr mega catch-up. Mr. J started msging me ‘frantically’ along the lines of: “what do you want for dinner” … “I’m hungry” … and the last one “nom nom nom!”.

So I headed home and after a bit of umm-ing and ahh-ing about where to go, we headed to Le Rendezvous in Manuka because Mr. J wanted steak. That was his only request. But my only request was to use a voucher from the Entertainment Book. I seriously recommend this because we have tried so many new restaurants/cafes with it(!) Plus if you’re in to coupon-ing, this is coupon-ing in a pre-packaged book – no hassles! One of my favourites was Flint, but recently there was a fire. I wonder if it will re-open, definitely hope so.

Anyway, I was a bad blogger and forgot to take any photos. I decided to go with steak too, to stay away from the carbs as it was pasta/pizza otherwise. Unfortunately my medium-rare steak arrived more rare-blue, so I sent it back. Round two was much better. But the prize of the night goes to dessert – a chocolate fondant cake with homemade roche icecream – which we shared. It was amazable (new offspring obsession!). Seriously so good.

And when we handed over the entertainment book card as we were paying, they said hold on to it, gave us 25% off anyway, and just said come back soon. So that was a really nice surprise. And after the less than satisfactory initial steak, I probably would give them another chance now

Oh and check out my calorie burn for the day! Awesome!

Sunday was a lazy start, blog stuff, tea, and a tiny breakfast to tide me over until a late brunch with a friend. She is being a gem and helping us out with boxes.

Which brings me to my BIG news. We have a date! A move-in date! Two weeks and counting – SO much to do!

So after brunch there was packing And then it was off to yoga at the gym. Well it was *meant* to be off to yoga at the gym. I am so pissed. I should have been more strict with myself (and my friend). I love spending time with her, don’t get me wrong, but I should have made it a priority to go.

So disappointed that I will not hit my goal today, and that is the third time this week that I haven’t done what I said I would exercise-wise.

Was pretty successful on the packing front at least – check it out! >>

Haha – Yes this picture is mega, but you can see our NewWave Multi-Cooker and Scanpan set peeking out of the Victoria’s Basement bag

Walking the Lake

Friday was spent starting and almost(!) finishing an assignment that is due Monday.  Not a bad effort really.  Then it was a pizza movie night with a few friends.  Inception: seen it before, and it’s still pretty awesome!  And indulging in too much pizza and passionfruit soda.

Feeling bloated was extra motivation to walk this morning (Saturday).  Haha well actually there wasn’t much motivation when I was still moaning about getting out of bed, but once I was going – it was fab.  Plus even though cold, it is such a nice day today.  I probably wore a couple too many layers, but it was great to be in the sun, by the water, with an easy walk.  Plus it was a pretty view

Here’s the map if your interested in that sort of thing

Really excited to be taking it easy and chillaxing this weekend.  Going to see Bridesmaids tonight > I’ve heard it’s really good!
