FIGURING OUT THE FIFTIES.... SO THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.......

On the broom.... on my feet...


Got out on the Bitch Broom today.... just a quick blat up the coast to have lunch in the sun at Mooloolaba...

Yes I took my chicken, sweet potato and salad and I managed to squish it into a container that I could then jamb into my hip bag, which was started life as a handbag but ages ago Hubby did a bit of surgery to the bag removing the handle and adding clips so it hooks onto my belt loops.. full handbag size.. but it sits on my hip beautifully.. and, as I discovered today it will hold a 1litre take away container jamb packed with food..

So after inhaling breakfast... yes it IS the only way I ever eat my breakfast... hell I am breaking a fast.. today I got to sleep in till 7.30 till my stomach woke me screaming that it was hungry.. so yes I inhale.... then a quick rush around the house doing an impression of a demonic housewife on speed, another meal eaten at a slightly slower speed although I am totally addicted to the Roo, Rice and veges.. with my new latest vice.. herb & Garlic salt... drool.. I only have a little bit of it but it adds a huge amount of flavour yummmmmm and of course a splash of Braggs Aminos..

Then onto the broom and off down the highway... we stopped for a wee stop.. as you do when you drink 5 litres of water a day.. at MobyVics Service Station.. no idea why it is called that, but that's what the locals call it... Hubby sneaked the photo above... ohh and one of my back...

Not sure why... sometimes he is so random....

Anyway we then headed on to the beach and the ate and sat and watched the world go by.. I am actually coping really well with his 'Eat Shit Sundays" Although I was not impressed when he bit into the chocolate croissant and the wind blew all the crumbs over me... I'm sure my skin managed to absorb the fat from it somehow and my weight will jump up on Wednesday you just wait and see!!! LOL

After wandering around and enjoying the sunshine and sea for a while we headed home for a lovely walk along the Bribie waterfront...Yep a great weekend and now another week closer to my comp.... 9 weeks today I will be on stage... That's 64 days and counting.... YAY!

I am loving Fitness Matters, trained quads and threw in a little cardio at the end of it on Saturday morning... loving the equipment... loving the big screen tvs and music... loving the great choice of cardio machines.. I am now rather addicted to their rowing machine although the cross trainer is still my gasp machine of choice...

ohhh and on Saturday I found my new cardio shoes and totally overspent and over compensated for what I need them for, but hell they are beautiful and they make my feet smile...... The are Gel-Noosa-Tri5's...I was going to go for the Nike Free Run until the sales bloke told me you can only use the Nikes twice a week to run in... wtf?? apparently running in them is similar to running barefoot in sand and they are made to make you feet strong and you can hurt yourself by using them more than twice a week.. I repeat WTF??? Why would anyone spend $160.00 for shoes you can only use twice a week.... unless of course they are 6 inch black stiletto heels because that would make sense....

But then I saw the Tri shoes waving at me and telling me that I had walked into the shop to save them from being sold to a fat lady who never shaves her legs and has smelly feet so I just had to rescue them and take them home...

Anyway I am now hanging out for cardio in the morning... another week of training... and even though I will have to go and watch the clock for another 45 minutes.. I must go and wait for Jelly time!!!!
