Day 2 - Great Start!

It was way yummier than this photo makes it look!

So day 2 and I'm feeling really good. Had a pretty good eating day yesterday, even though I met some friends from the States for lunch, after I had already had my lunch! Oops - little miscommunication there! We went to a pizza place, but I only had 2 small slices (couldn't tell them I had already eaten) and a small glass of wine. And then I skipped my afternoon snack. It definitely put me over in my calories, but not too bad.

Greg cooked me dinner last night while I did some work. We had the Teriyaki Chicken & Vegetable Stirfry with Soba Noodles and it was super yummy! Was a bit of a miserable day (and is again today) so was nice to have something warming. I'm really looking forward to the left overs for lunch today!

After dinner we went to the driving range and smashed some balls. I was hitting so well with my 7 iron, but rubbish with my driver. I can either hit it super far with a horrible slice, or hit it straight (sometimes) but not very far. Annoying! I think we're going to go again today, and then hopefully the weather will get better and we can go play 9 holes one morning this week or on Friday night.

This morning I was up early again and got some stuff done before heading to Shockwave. I worked bloody hard and was disappointed in how little calories I had burnt (had my new heart rate monitor on) - only about 300 for 45mins! So I hopped on the bike for 10mins after and bumped it up to just over 400. Bit better, but I have no idea how other people manage to burn so many calories in such a short time! Was also a little annoyed as I was a little slower today. Still the fastest girl, but slower than I have been the last few weeks. Maybe my week off destroyed some, or maybe I'm just a bit body tired from the SSS followed by a big workout yesterday morning. In the past my Mondays have been pretty lax. I'm pretty proud of myself though for getting on the bike afterwards!

Had yummy oats, grapes, milk and a tiny dollop of yoghurt for breakfast, and just now had my first snack for today - ricotta with kiwifruit. It was actually delicious! So glad, as I'm been searching a bit for a yummy morning snack that's a little sweet and feels like it should be eaten in the morning, but doesn't have too much sugar. I think I'm on to a winner! Though the secret is definitely getting a good ricotta. This one is from Thomas Dux deli. I've had others that are completely tasteless and gross. This one is yummy.

I forgot all about it, but last Thursday we had our wine cabinet delivered (yay!) and so we worked from home. In the late afternoon we went and played 9 holes at Wakehurst golf club. What an awesome course! We saw so many little ducklings, a gorgeous tiny black bunny, lots of other normal brown bunnies and heaps of water dragons! It was loads of fun (even though I played parts of it horribly!) and I can't wait to go back. Afterwards we had a drink (soda and lime for me) at the club house which has an awesome view over the Manly Dam.
