Rain :)

I went for a long power walk this morning in the rain. It was only raining softly and pretty warm in the air so it was really nice. All the birdies were out splashing about in the puddles and it besides the sound of rain hitting the ground (and me puffing) it was very quiet.

What a great way to start the day :)

9 more days

only 9 more days till I finish work :) Im finding myself day dreaming more and more about all the wonderful things that are about to come into my life! Its sooo exciting.

Training is going great guns! Im still doing a good hour of cardio early in the mornings, made up of power walking and jogging.
Eats are pretty good, the weekend we ate out on the Fri and Sat and picked pretty good meals :) bit to much drinking on the weekend compared to what id normally have but hey it was a 31st birthday and our farewell. Im sure Ive worked hard enough this week to burn off the cals.!!!
For Deb, we fly out on Fri 23 Nov to Brisbane. Cool ha!!!! I cant wait to catch up with you again sweetie.
It will be a pretty full on couple of days as all our furniture turns up on the Fri and then my car. The Mon will be Petes motorbike and then our gym equipement the following days :) hanging for that to get there!!!
We've done pretty well with not taking to much stuff with us and have sold alot. But that just means nice and new things to buy for our house!

Well not alot to chat about..Im just counting down the days..
Happy Hump Day All..Jane xo

Good Morning! Yippeee its Friday :) 2 1/2 weeks till holiday time!!!!!

Training has been going fantastic this week, cardio sessions are at 1 hour but it goes really fast since Im training outdoors!
Weights is also great and tomorrow Im heading to the gym for a high rep session. 2 exercises per body part, 2 sets of 20 reps. Nice and quick but of course with good form!
Food has been spot on and Im feeling healthy, its the best feeling ever.

Something I also have been giving alot of thought lately is my relationship with Pete. Its such a beautiful relationship, we dont fight..as yelling and anger will not get you anywhere, we have pretty much everything in common and we are both extremely passionate about what we want in life. With that we support each other no matter what. Wow thats pretty cool hey.. Ive always known we were a great couple but its been more recently and maybe because we are about to move to a place away from family and what we are use to but it just works!

Im going through a stage of being really at peace and loving my life. Having goals and working towards them over the past few years is about to pay off. I know that also moving to Brisbane and getting close to the ocean again will bring so much happiness.
Also finally owning our home and not renting anymore is very exciting. We are going to totally deck out our house so we really have a great home and a place we love to be!

Well its my roomies 31st birthday today! So Im meeting her soon to buy her a coffee (maybe even get her a little cake or some treat to make it special). She doesnt have family here so I guess we have become like sisters and I love making a fuss over birthdays as its the oneday of the year that is your special day!! Then this afternoon we'll do presents :) then its off to Turkish tonight for dinner and then over to an irish pub for some drinks! Will be a fantastic birthday indeedie!

Id better get going...should be doing work now, but hey its Friday so Im starting to get into weekend mode ;) hehe

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend!!

Yiippeeee!!! Im feeling better :) My head has finally cleared and my nose isnt running like a tap!
Ive been back into training since the weekend and did an awesome whole body high rep weights session on Saturday that left my muscles pretty sore!! Cardio is being smashed once again,getting out some good 45min to an hour sessions :)
I love it when I feel healthy!!

Got a call from our builder the other day and our water tanks (all 5000 lts)are full at the new house!! I cant believe how much rain QLD must be having. Poor ol' ACT hasnt had any, still so dry here..I totally wont miss it.

Have lots of farewells and dinners coming up and I have made sure I picked restaurants with healthy option to ensure I stick to my nutritional plan. Only 3 weeks left at work..yes Im still counting down the days!!! and 5 weeks now till we move :D

We had the mirrors fitted out in our home gym this week, Im sooo excited to finally have a kickass home gym. I know my training and results are just going to get better and better once I have moved.

Loving the fact that the cold days have finally gone and we are getting some beautiful spring days here at the moment. Ive been doing alot more cardio out doors now around the lake near my place. It always so peaceful at the lake in the mornings and a great way to start my day!

Well better head off, have a fantastic day!

yuck!

Canberra and no rain = dry! Dry and windy weather = dust! Dust and spring = pollen and me having the worst hay fever ever!!!! :-/
Ive never suffered from hay fever, living on the coast has always meant rainfall and the grass staying green. But not here in the ACT! Its so damn dusty and my poor nose has not stopped running in a week! Eyes are red and sore and my training is suffering because of it. Ive taken to walking for cardio as I can breath better and just trying to stay indoors as much as I can. So annoying because I was just getting some great results with my fitness and noticing my body fat dropping...ohhh well, all I can do now is get better, eat cleaner and once Im better get back into training like a mad women!!
Just another reason that I can not wait to move away from here!!! Only 3 weeks and 2 days till work is over and 5 weeks till we go!
