Day 1 - Here We Go!

Yay!  Day 1 is finally here.  I've had a fabulous morning.  Got up just after 6 and did my first workout - Fitness Fat Burner and Abs. I actually really enjoyed it!  Started with a little walking then jogging for a warm up, then intervals.  It was supposed to be walk then jog, but seeing as I can run, I ran 1:30 and then sprinted for 30s.  Felt a little like I cheated, as the first half of my running circuit is downhill, so most of the sprints were downhill.  Still made me work though.  I then half jogged half walked the remaining 25mins.  Could probably have jogged the lot, but felt I should do some power walking as it uses different muscles.

The end of the workout was ski / lateral jumps and plank for 40s each, then some abs.  Was happy with myself for the plank - did the whole 40s on my toes!  Was hard and didn't think I could, but I managed it.  Go me!

I would really like a heart monitor to track my heart rate, and give me more of a push to keep going, especially up the hills.  I could just buy one, but I've heard there are some that you don't need the watch for, but can connect into my phone.  I haven't been able to find one that will ship outside of the states though.

Dinner: Sticky  BBQ Beef with Slaw

Had an awesome breakfast of muesli and grated pear.  It was supposed to be apple, but all the apples at the supermarket were soft.  I have my lunch and snacks in my bag, and made it to work early, even though I had to walk to the station as Greg is still in Singapore.

Sitting at my desk now yawning!  Was a pretty early morning for me.  Feeling pretty pumped though.  Bring it on!

A little later... Sticky BBQ Beef with Slaw for dinner.  Pretty good, though the honey in the marinde kind stuck and burnt to the pan.  Greg is so much better at cooking steak than me - come home Greg!  At least it made loads though so I have left overs for lunch!
