The exercise challenge is going well, but it has already been harder than I thought it would be. The first day was Sunday and I spent the whole day cleaning the house, doing washing, moving furniture around, grocery shopping and cleaning AJ's car (don't be jealous of my glamorous lifestyle). So by the end of the day I was rooted and couldn't be bothered exercising. At about 8.30pm I dragged my arse off the couch, because there was nothing on telly anyway, and went for a 35 minute walk around the neighbourhood. It was so boring, my neighbourhood is not the most interesting or pretty place to walk around. I am starting to regret that I sold my treadmill last month on ebay...
Then Monday I was busy all day and knew I wouldn't be able to get to the gym, so I got out of bed extra early and went for a walk around Albert Park Lake before work. I can now officially say that I am not a morning person. Getting up early and going to work is one thing, but being active is a whole different kettle of fish. My body is still sore because it wasn't warmed up and it was just too much activity, too early in the morning for this old thing.

Last night I went to see The Time Traveller's Wife at the movies because I won tickets to a special advanced charity screening. I am a competition fiend and this was the first time I have actually won anything. Unfortunately I proceeded to eat my weight in popcorn and rocky road chocolate and I still feel bloated today. I am not going to the movies again until I can control my eating at them just a little bit. I also saw one of the couples from Beauty & the Geek there and they looked very much a couple! Never in my life have I seen a shorter skirt and higher heels...

My good friend had her first little bubby last week and I went to visit her at the hospital in Geelong when she was less than 24 hours old. She really was gorgeous, but the real point of posting this photo-- I don't look hideous. It's nice to be able to see a photo from a special event like this and not feel like I want to rip it to shreds.
Ahhh chick, you AND the baby look gorgeous! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's you?? Far out, you look gorgeous and damn slim. What a gorgeous pic - baby is such a little cutie.
ReplyDeleteYou're so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI am always up for a post-work walk around the Tan or Albert Park if you need some accountability! I know I do... lol

Looking gorgeous :) did u like the movie?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteHow was the movie??? I didn't finish the book.....
Well done on getting your arse off the couch :0)
I reckon all that work on Sunday would have to count as exercise.
ReplyDeleteMy tip for the movies is only go with enough money for ticket, car park etc in your wallet. It's too easy to be tempted otherwise.
You look good there honey!
ReplyDeletePersist with the morning exercise. You will get used to it and your body will end up loving it and drop more weight. Especially since you are ina fasted state 1st thing.
