I had a bit of a sleep-in this morning and didn't get up till 8am. I then went to the gym and did 20 mins running on the treadmill (and got up to level 14!), 5 mins on the rower and 5 mins on the cross-trainer. Normally I would run for 30 mins on my cardio day but that has started to get boring, so thought I would try and mix it up a bit.
As I was leaving the gym, I saw Sally doing lat pulldowns with a ridiculously heavy amount of weight. Probably triple what I do. I totally freaked but it has made me feel more competitive. I am gonna put up my weights and really challenge myself. What's the point of completing a set of 15 reps with a little grunt at the end, when you can almost blow an aneurysm doing 10 reps and tear your muscles sufficiently enough to burn fat for the next 24 hours, I ask you? That's right, no point.
Can't remember if I have mentioned it but the next measurement has been postponed to the 11th Nov, as a few more people joined the comp on the weekend and Larry wanted to give them a chance to lose a bit of weight before the measure-up. My aim for that measurement is to be in the top 3 (out of 6 women). If I am coming last I will be totally pissed off. I always came last in everything sporty at school, so I need to prove to myself that I can acheive something fitness-related as an adult.
After the gym, I hung out at home for a bit, then tried out a new cafe in Northcote, called Gypsy Hideout. It has only been there 7 weeks and was converted to a cafe from an old hairdressing salon. It's pretty cool and has good coffee. I think it will be a new regular haunt for me and my sis and the twins.
Speaking of twins, I am totally in love. After the cafe stop, I spent the rest of the day at the hospital. I got to change a nappy and feed one of the girls. They are so tiny, only 2.5 and 2.7 kilos. They are like little monkeys, so fragile and precious...with alot of hair! Well just on their heads of course, they aren't actually a mutant strain of monkey...
I'm going back again tomorrow. Visiting hours are very strict but I managed to hide behind a potplant the last two nights and got to stay an extra hour!
Foodalicious:
Meal 1 - glass of lemon water
muesli with milk
Meal 2 - glass of water
apple and nuts
Meal 3 - glass of water
banana and strawberry protein shake with frozen yoghurt
Meal 4 - glass of water
dark rye sandwich with avocado, chicken, tomato, red onion, asparagus and spinach
Meal 5 - glass of water
50g smoked salmon and steamed broccolini
Meal 6 - nothing!
Again, I am too late for the sixth meal. Staying at the hospital has thrown out my eating schedule a bit but I don't care, I'm in love :)
Adieu to you and you and you...
