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
