December 2007
Tomorrow Dainel’s taking me to 90 Mile Beach. It’ll be the first time I’ve been there and I can’t wait! Tomorrow’s the first day I will have actually done something typical of a holiday and it’s well deserved let me tell you. LOL!! The last two weeks as you all know we’ve been busy moving and settling in so now it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy what’s left of our holidays.
And of course I had to go shopping for it which I did before leaving Melbourne. Here’s what I bought:
* Seafolly Costa Del Sol Twist Bandeau & Mini Hipster with Belt
* Sheridan Beach Towel (White, Pink & Orange)
* White Cotton Kaftan
* Denim Shorts
* Beach Hat
* Beach Bag
It’s meant to be 35° tomorrow so as you can see by my list I have chosen my clothing whilst keeping in mind sun protection. I’ve also got my 30+ Sunscreen so I’m all organised. We’ve even packed ready this evening so we can hit the road as soon as we eat, shower and change after the gym in the morning. We’ve packed healthy snacks to eat and plenty of water to keep us hydrated. Daniel’s taking his surfboard and a beach rod, here’s hoping he catches me dinner. *yummo* There’s nothing like eating freshly caught grilled fish straight of the bbq. So to keep myself entertained whilst I’m sun baking I’m taking along the most recent copy of UltraFit Magazine. Nothing like catching up on a little reading. Lindy Olsen has written an article in it I want to read so it’ll be the perfect opportunity to do so wouldn’t you agree. I honestly can’t remember the last time I stopped and took time out to do nothing other then catch up on rest and relaxation. Trust me when I say that there’ll be a lot more of it in 2008. It’s as equally important as eating, training and sleeping in my opinion. It’s just I don’t do it, that’s all.
I hope you all have a fantastic week and remember, live each day as if it were your last. xx
Yesterday we went shopping in Taralgon. It’s a 30 minute drive from where we live but with a larger variety of stores. Snooze was our first point of call to buy a Kombi Lowboy to match our existing bedroom suite. Now we have the queen bed, bedside tables, wall mirror and lowboy. It’s a 6-8 week wait which is a real bummer but will be well worth it when it eventually arrives. It’s been a long time coming for the extra storage space so is a welcome addition to our bedroom.
Then we headed over to Officeworks. I picked up a black leather document tray to match my existing office accessories. 2008 is a big year for me so I’m getting everything organised in preparation for it. That and I only have one more week of holidays before I return back to work. I’ll be hitting the ground running so it’s best I get on top of things now whilst I have the time to do so.
And last but certainly not least was my pink noodle. I picked this up from the Reject Shop for $5. It’s supposed to be used in the pool as a floating device and/or toy but I cut it up into three equal pieces and will use it for Self-Myofascial Release (SMR). If you have no idea what I’m talking about best you check out this link, it explains it better then I ever could. If you’re serious about your sport then you have to try this for yourself. It’s inexpensive and effective, what more could an athlete want.
My 1st training program for the new year is written, printed out and in my folder in my gym bag ready for tomorrow morning. That’s all I’m going to say about that. Daniel put a lot of time and effort into it so I have no doubt it’ll be a real doozy, we’ll see how I pull up from it. I’m guessing they’ll be a lot of letric soda baths and self-myofacial release going on at home this week. LOL!!
Well that’s enough from me today. Things to do and work to get done. Enjoy what’s left of your Sunday. xx
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Which one are you?
When someone is in your life for a reason . . .It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a season. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

That was me late last night up ironing. It was well past midnight before I finished but thankfully I did and that’s one less thing to do. Now my w-i-r- look lovely and organised with all my folded and ironed clothes on their wooden hangers. No point in having nice clothes if you’re not going to look after them. I’m feeling it now though because I still woke up at the same time, nothing a skinny latte won’t fix. LOL!!
Well today’s grocery day. I have my list downloaded into my smartphone so I’m all organised. So today I’m going to check out some different places like a local health food store, a butcher and a fruit and vegetable market. It’ll take a little longer but when you move like we do you have to shop around to find exactly what we’re looking for and I don’t mind travelling or paying for quality food. After all, we are what we eat remember. LOL!! I’m trying a new recipe today, a chicken and asparagus cob loaf. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I haven’t made my bed yet so I best make a move. I hope today is as lovely as it is here for you there. xx
