Another One Bites the Dust

holy crap these weeks are flyin past. When did I last update? ... Thursday! :o

Friday was another day at the gym, I'm loving it - forgotten how much I missed working up a sweat and feeling the jelly thing going on. I'm a sicko! LOL Had a quite nite on Friday night - just a couple of wines and called it quits quite early - makes a nice change!

Saturday got out in the disgusting weather and went and did my hunter gathering of fruit, veges from the markets and meat from the butchers. Had a lesson from the butcher about veal which was all very interesting. Had a haircut appointment and then went to the other butchers for some hogget. Got an absolute bargain - 6 meaty shanks for $10! Put those on to cook almost as soon as I got home, had some lunch and then went skating. Was determined not to overdo things with my leg, but managed to work up quite a nice sweat - its amazing how many rounds on the rink you can get through in 10 minutes! There were loads of kids tho, was a bit like dodgems at times - some of the kids are kinda crazy and you soon learn which ones to look out for LOL Craig's mum and dad and our niece came home with me after skating and we had some drinks and they ended up staying for dinner, so we all enjoyed the shanks. The meat by now had completely fallen off the bone, so I made up a kumara/potatoe/garlic mash with some long green beans and we all filled ourselves with a wonderful winter favourite!

This morning we were up around 8 and ... we both went to the gym today. WE ... Craig and I ... us ... WENT TO THE GYM together ... and we worked out together. It was a total buzz for me! Craig was given a complimentary pass - they've been trying to sign him up for ages LOL - but I never pushed and knew if he really wanted to do it, he'd come along. Today was the day! We both did 10 mins on the bike, then 5 mins on the rower, then I had the honour of introducing him to my friend The Arc Trainer! - he did 10 mins on that little baby - I was sooooooooo damn proud! LOL Then we hit the weights - some bench presses, cable rows, lat pull downs, bicep pull downs, tricep pull downs, some ab work on the swiss ball and finishing with stretching. He survived!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO.

Got home had a lovely long shower and then headed round to my mums for lunch and a good natter, I havent seen her for a couple of weeks so it was a really good catch up. I then wandered round to Karens to catch up with the girls for afternoon tea. Damn we are loud when we get together! LMAO! It always amazes me how different we all are and how we are all at different stages in our lives - its so reviving and refreshing to have so many different perspectives on life. You babes are amazing :) and nice muffins Karen :D

So by the time I got home it was dinner time and thats now been and gone and I'm getting ready for my weekly pamper session.

I've been really pleased with my eating the last few days, stuck to points reasonably well, without any major crap passing my lips!

Physio tomorrow morning again, I'm scared already, she's going to give me more deep tissue massage and I'm still sore where she did it last Monday! :o

Will be an interesting week this week at work, a few things going on to keep me out of trouble!

Found this piccie in my email when I got home this arvo - taken at the 21st we went to the other weekend - this is taken before I got too happy! LOL
