Day 24 - Attack!

Gym done! Sitting in the sun with my breakfast
(Oats, grated apple & milk) and my kindle,
waiting for the train - perfect start to the day!

Had an awesome workout this morning at attack. I worked so hard and felt so good. Every time I felt like slacking off I decided to keep going and keep pushing. For the first time I think it helped having the heart rate monitor on as I could see my heart rate between tracks and see how hard I was working and how many calories I was losing. Still not sure how to get the calorie count up - I worked so hard for 40mins, and still only 350 calories. I don't think I should need to do more exercise than that in a day surely! If I did I would be so exhausted!

Also finding it so much easier this week to "bounce" out of bed in the mornings. This morning I even woke up before my alarm. Might be the weather being so awesome and it being lighter when I get up has something to do with it. Regardless of the reason I'm loving it.

Enjoyed my 10 mins with breakfast in the sun at the station again. And stole another 10 mins with my coffee earlier. It's such a beautiful day! Can't believe we're going snowboarding on Friday - seems bizarre with the weather so good here. Spoke to my sis this morning and she said it's snowing hard out in Queenstown. Hopefully it stays like that, and they don't lose it all before we get there. The weather forecast looks atrocious though! Ah well, will be nice just being there with everyone regardless! Need to keep up this mindset somehow. Make sure I make the right food decisions, and the days when we're not snowboarding need to get up and get my exercise done.

Greg is on his way in to join me for lunch and then go shopping for some new clothes. He needs new pants, and I figure I can get a couple small things - my jeans are way too big now. Still got a LONG way to go, but jeans are not too expensive, and I would like ones that fit for Queenstown!

Had yummy nachos again for dinner last night. So good to have comfort food which tastes awesome, but doesn't make me feel bad for eating it!
