So today was another fun day. Got up this morning and went to the gym, hoping to see the leaderboard stats but to no avail. But I realised something about the photos. Some people were definitely pushing out their guts in the first photo and are totally sucking them in in the subsequent photos. No fair people. That's cheating. The rest of us poor novices hadn't thought that far ahead...or am I just shitty cos I didn't know about it? If I did know I would have been puffing out my belly with the best of them on Day 1 right?
So I did 15 mins on the bike (with a non-clicking knee!) and then did my lower body weights. As I was cranking out some leg presses, Maggie (the random lady who corrected my technique on the chest press a couple of weeks ago) started chatting to me. She said I was looking great and wanted to know what I was doing. I said I was doing the six pack challenge and we chatted about that for a bit. Then she told me that she heard that one of the instructors, Faye, was looking like she was gonna win the comp. I told her I thought it wasn't fair that the instructors entered in the comp because they had a definite advantage with full use of the gym, experience and knowledge in weight training and diet and who knows...maybe inside information? Normally with competitions, employees aren't allowed to enter right? Maggie agreed with me and said I should say something but I said no, I dont like to rock the boat. And she said, oh I love it, I'll say something! So not sure if she will or not. On the one hand, this comp may not have gone ahead if the instructors didn't enter because they were a bit short on entrants at first but on the other hand, if an instructor wins and second place goes to a customer, that's not really fair right?
Oh well. I didn't do this to win anyway. I did it to shed the remaining 5kg that I wanted to lose this year and to stay fit and healthy and give myself a routine during my break between jobs. But come on Larry, put up the stats! I need to know if Ive improved on the leaderboard!!!
After the gym I went to my sisters and picked her up along with the girls and Mum and we all headed to the podiatrist. We took it in turns going inside for a good old foot scraping and sitting in the car minding the little ones. Then we went to Apte in Alphington. I had two coffees and braised lamb with cherry tomatoes, rocket and feta. Delish! It came with parmasen toast as well but I didn't eat it. I took a small bite but it was quite dry and not nice enough to waste excess calories on. I have started to slacken off my diet a little but I still need to pull the reigns in sometimes...
After lunch, I went to the post office to get my passport renewed. $208 later...yes you heard right. It costs $208 for a passport these days! What a load of crap! It's cheaper to bloody fly to your holiday destination than it is to flash your passport at the bored attendant. Jaysus!
Tonite...more job searching. Gotta put in some more hard yards on that front...not sure if anyone is bothering hiring at this time of year though. Ho ho ho!
