Today I was meant to get up early, go to the gym, then jump on a train to be in the city for a 9am class on networking. I decided somewhere in the early hours of the morning that this was a shit idea and slept in till 8.15am instead. I justified this with the fact that a few weeks ago, the other sessions I attended covered off networking, just not in as much detail. Besides, I can always book into the class again in a couple of weeks.
Anyway, I went to the gym and chatted to Larry and lo and behold, the information I blogged about yesterday regarding the pantyhose, one size fits all workout was wrong! He meant that it was a bad thing! Lucky I double-checked with him and didnt continue down that path. He said if you can do 3 x 10 of any weight you are not pushing yourself hard enough. To win this comp you have to lift the intensity. Ok Larry, I'm gonna go for gold in my upper body workout tomorrow!
Today I just did cardio - 20 mins running on the tready and I got up to a speed of 15! Love it! Then I did 10 mins on the bike. I dont like the bikes at the gym cos they have no foot strap and I always feel paranoid my foot's about to slide off and then I think too hard and it does slide off. Geez, I sound like a 5 year old sometimes. (Speaking of 5 year-olds, I highly recommend a book I have just read called 'Room' by Emma Donoghue. Its about a mother and child who are kidnapped and forced to live in a shed but its told from the perspective of the child. Sounds depressing but its not. Its very clever and insightful. A must read!)
After the gym, pottered around at home for a bit then went into the city for an afternoon class on the corporate networking website, LinkedIn. I am gonna create a profile tomorrow. If you havent heard of it, its like facebook but for business networking. Alot of recruiters use it to headhunt prospective employees. So maybe I'll get a job without even trying! Haha.
Then I got my hair cut and coloured tonight which took four hours and I was starving! But beauty is pain so they say. Also my knees were aching sitting in the chair. My poor body is falling apart from all this training! But I'm feeling good. Thank god for caffeine to keep me perky!
Oh and I didnt get to see my angels today. Miss them heaps but going to my sister's tomorrow!
