Bonjour Mon Amis,
Well today was my 'day off'. A chance to give my body a rest - as I really felt I needed it. The 'day off' co-incided with a very busy day - I had a funeral to attend - so I drove my car to work then to the church at 10:30 - and then I drove to Randwick Hospital straight from work for Starlight.
So here's what went down my gullet!
Breakfast
Glass Water (375ml)
Fresh Juice - 1 orange, 1 apple, 1 carrot, 1 stick celery
2 slices (small) of Bergin 'Men's health' bread - wholemeal with lots of seeds

Lunch
Chicken Curry with Rice
Can Coke Zero

My promise....
Mushi mushi,
I hope y'all had a great weekend! Well i have had a very productive week - exercise wise. Over 10,000 steps per day. Gym work, and everything. I feel good about my efforts. As an update, on Friday, Gym then walk home. Saturday, gym with Neil - I did 4 k's interval training - running and walking. Sunday I went to Fitness First with Jeremy - about an hour on the cross trainer - for the last 20 mins on maximum resistance. Then did laps in the pool for about 20 mins!
So - good, all up!
Now about this promise. This week starting Monday, I will be reporting on everything that I eat, and the exercise I do. I already know that I will not have the time (i think - depends on if I work = I have a funeral to attend at 11am) to exercise on Tuesday, but as the last day off I had was well over a week ago, i'm ok with that. So stay tuned, and feel free to make any comments or suggestions on my week!

I've got a new walking buddy!
Buona Sera!
Yes today I got myself a new walking buddy - the all new Apple iPod Shuffle!
Not only is it sleek and sexy, it's got a massive 4 Gig, in something less than the size of two 50 cent coins!! Also it has 'text to speech' and it will tell you the name of the song playing! Also you can have your own playlists & select them - with no screen! Awesome!
Today was also another good day - did a massive walk after work. I was still quite sore from yesterday's gym work & walk, so rather than spending more time on the treadmill, I thought i'd walk to Oxford St, then home. But when I got to Oxford St, I just wanted to keep going!! So I walked up Oxford, down Darlinghurst Rd (The Wall), into Kings Cross, down Brougham St, into the really dodgy part of wu-lu-mu-lu (i didn't realise how dodgy it was down there) across the ED, up past the Art Gallery, into the Botanical Gardens, across the Cahill, the Bridge and home! A real big walk - and using my Pedometer I blitzed my figures from Tues & Wed - I did over 14000 steps!! My walking map is below.

Phone Pedometer!
Howdy.
My new phone has a Pedometer built in - and it has a 'healthy target' to meet - of 10,000 steps per day. Since i've been using it, i've hit the target - 2 out of 2 days!!! Tuesday & Today, after work, I went to the gym, and did interval training on the treadmill - running and walking for 20 mins. Then I walked home.
Yesterday - 10112 steps
Today - 10051 steps!! - that's not joking either - I did 'just' hit the target. Before I went to the gym I was at 4500 - after I was 7000. When I got home, I was 10006!!
I know what i'm doing is good, and enough, as by the time i'm halfway across the bridge i'm getting a stich!! And the final 'ramp' up to High St is a bugger!!
So... feeling good!
And if anyone's wondering what sort of phone has a built in pedometer - its the new Sony W705. Free on the Optus $49 cap - not that i'm trying to sell them ;-) !!!

I should be sick more often!
If you're wondering about the title of this entry, Sunday was not a good day for me... but more of that later.
Last week was a pretty slow one - I was very busy - with something on every night: e.g. Starlight volunteering Tuesday, and a work GALA meeting on Thurdsay. Hence no updates - sorry! I still managed to walk home every day which was great.
On Sunday I jumped on the scales - less than half a kilo loss :-( . I had all intentions of going for a great big walk with Leigh in the arvo - but something came over me and I spent most of the afternoon in the bathroom and wasn't able to.
Jumping on the scales again though this morning I WAS 2 KILO'S LIGHTER!!! Wow. 2 kilos in a day. As I said - I should get sick more often!! Less than 20 days of that and i'll be under 100 kg's!
