Hello all, I hope everyone had a great Australia Day long weekend! Well it's Monday night, it's 8:30, and i'm watching 'Goal!' for probobly the 11th or 12th time. I love it! And as i'm sitting here, i'm feeling good. I've just come back from a massive walk... but let me first tell you about my weekend - the good and the bad.
Saturday - was back to work @ Optus. Lunch is always a bit of an issue there. You don't have much time to eat, and fast food is generally the order of the day. For lunch though I had a 6inch Subway sub - with chicken & chock full of vegies. They have this chilli chipotle sauce that tastes quite good! So with a bottle of water & some apple slices, I think I did well. Dinner was at my sisters place - and as I was waiting for her, I did have a handful of corn chips :-(. But not too many. Dinner was quite healthy - Corned beef with salad and mash.
After dinner my sister became the first member of my family to find out about this blog. I have always had a 'thing' with my family and my weight problems. My Mum has always been on my back - with the best intentions of course - however an element of childhood rebellion is still in my psyche. Whenever she tells me to lose weight I just want to run to McDonalds. Of late, my brother David has been applying the pressure as well. My sister has always let me know that she's there for me, but does not go on about it, so I felt comfortable telling her about it. And as she knows about this, and will read it - thanks Nik. I love you.
Sunday - well this is the day we were to celebrate one of my best friends birthday - Leigh! Leigh, Jeremy, Andrew and I trekked out to a fabulous restaurant - Rave - in St Ives. We had a great time and the food and service were fantastic. I had a great meal - rack of lamb with a dukkah coating. It was yummylicious. I was naughty though and had dessert. They had this wattleseed icecream with honeycomb & caramel that I just had to try. And it was great! But I made sure I had a great big walk when I got home. After such a filling lunch, I didn't need a large dinner, so instead of driving up to Woolies to get the ingredients for my Lemon Pepper chicken salad, I made it part of my walk - about 1 hour - see below.
Monday - had a mostly chillaxing day at home, eggs and vegemite with a fresh juice for brunch. In the arvo though I had a great big walk - almost 2 hours!! I walked from my place, across the bridge, cahill expressway, through the gardens to the water side, around Mrs Macquaries chair and back through the botanical gardens. It was raining most of the way and I loved it! I love walking in the rain - so as long as it's not too heavy. I got back soaked but felt great for it. Lemon Pepper chicken salad again for dinner tonight. Walking map below.
So that's me in a nutshell this weekend - a couple 'naughty' things, but mostly good - and I hope to see a bit of a difference on the scales tomorrow. I won't be reporting any progress - I want to keep you in suspence!! Remember 142kg by 1/2/09! See ya!
