Next Tuesday is the Melbourne Cup public holiday so hubby and I have both taken off next Monday. A four day long weekend is going to be bliss, absolute bliss. Just for something different I might even post this weekend, oooh now there’s a challenge set for myself.
This week has been an exceptionally good week for me. Firstly because I got my new Neverfail water cooler delivered which dispenses springwater at home with both cool and cold functions. Now the springwater I cook with and drink is of a much better quality for my health and well being’s sake. Left is the photo of my water cooler at home, it’s pwetty isn’t it. Also Ali (bless her) is kindly lending me two of her books all about water which I’m sure will go into much greater detail as to why our tap water isn’t the be all and end all here in Australia. I know one thing for sure, when you’re paying for your water there isn’t any problem with ensuring that you drink it. That’s motivation right there.
And secondly because my Inside-Out: The Ultimate Upper Body Warmup dvd and manual arrived in the mail. Don’t you just love to get mail, well of the package kind anyway. I’ve been anxiously waiting for this, it’s going to be an instrumental tool for my rehab & prehab training I’m doing at the moment. I have so got to buy myself that bookshelf to put all these books and dvd’s on before it gets any further out of control. Note to self must buy bookshelf! To look after myself, I mean properly look after myself I have to be able to identify what my problem areas are and then be able to construct an effective rehabilitation plan to help with the healing process. Then once that’s all said and done I have to ensure it doesn’t happen again by implementing a prevention plan. If you’re interested in hearing more about this topic and what I’m doing I’ll be posting it up next week in Tuesday’s Training: Rehab & Prehab blog post.
So I was scanning through my google reader the other day when a blog title just happen to caught me eye. Chelle blogged this really great post and I think that it’s definitely worth reading if you haven’t done so already. It’s a very similar story for so many of us here in the land of blog and it got me to thinking about myself and where I’m heading with my health and fitness goals. This very simple quote really hit home for me and was something I obviously needed to hear myself “a bodybuilder is for life, not just a season”. I’ll leave you with that quote and your own thoughts.
Because it’s a long weekend and we have something special planned tomorrow we’re jamming everything into this afternoon and this evening. First we’re heading into vic markets for our organic shopping, then we’re off to Evelyn Faye for supplements, a nice healthy dinner on our way home at our favourite Vietnamese restaurant which leaves our last stop for the day at our local supermarket then home sweet home. It’s going to be a very busy afternoon and evening tomorrow so thankfully my Juice PLUS+® is helping me out with the extra energy I have at the moment, I definitely need it. That’s it for me, time to go now.
Have a great weekend everyone, I know I will!
