Day 32 - Hanging out again

Hello there! Today was pretty good all in all. Woke up at 8.30am (I know, I'm getting later. I cant seem to get into bed before midnight these days) and skyped my UK mate. We haven't talked in ages and it was great to catch up. We are going on a holiday together next year to New York. Can't wait! We are working out dates at the moment cos I'm gonna study next year so wanna go in the term break in June or July.

After our chat it was off to work, I mean the gym. Well it is my current occupation after all. I'm just not getting paid for this madness. I did half an hour on the bike and tried to keep my speed over 100 the whole time...not sure if that is good or not. It's better than I normally do. I had a coffee before the gym and that seemed to give me more energy. I am really getting addicted to coffee. I'm having at least 3 a day, sometimes 4. I used to have only 1 while I was at work. I guess this diet is making me really low in energy so I'm compensating with caffeine. Oh well, at least I'm not smoking fags I guess.

I still haven't managed to do 1 hour of cardio each day like my BIL said, but I wanna try as of next week. Maybe if I drink a coffee first thing each morning that will get me through.

After the bike, I did lower body weights. Really enjoyed it today. I felt stronger than before and managed to leg press 100kg. Woo hoo! The machine only goes up to 136kg. I'm so strong! Can't wait till I can lift impressive amounts on all the machines and free weights!

After the gym I pottered at home for a bit, watched DVDs, had a look on SEEK but there wasn't much new on there. So I decided to head out to Miss Marmalade's cafe to write. The coffee was so good I drank two in a row. And I got their beans with corn cakes and natural yoghurt. Pretty good. I got quite a bit of my novel done. I am almost at the end of Act 1. This is pretty exciting seeing as I have been writing this bloody thing for a year!

Then it was off to the movies with my best mate. We saw Summer Coda and overall I was pretty impressed. Great acting. Alex Dimitriades is soooooo hot! I love him. He is a lovely ruggard orange farmer in this film set in Mildura. It's coming to the end of its season at the movies but I highly recommend this Aussie film. See it on DVD!
