Goodbye and goodluck!

Yeehaw...

I took my first group fitness class last night!!!!!!

Excited much???

They Guy that normally takes it is crook, so I got called in!

LOOOOVEEEED it!

Saw a couple of the girls this morning and they are sore.!!!! Great! Means it worked!

Can't wait for more (just need to get through this stupid management module...)

"how can I make my arse not look like mum's??"

That was the questions my little sister presented me with this morning after doing a pump class and catching sight of her arse in the mirrors...

My mum is small frame, big boobs (which Sal also got, but happy about that) and not arse.. flat as a pancake!

My answer to Sal was "not much" sure she can built muscle and make it tighter, but no exercise is going to defeat genetics! It would be like me wanted to look like Nicole Kidman, but genetically that is just not possible! My body is wider, she is taller..not gunna happen. Have to make the best body you can out of the one you have! a better you!

My new goal!

16% body fat!

i was reading a great article in W H & F about body builders, figure etc and they listed the body fat for each category. Sports model is 16%! So, I thought "Why not!"

I work so much better if I have something to work towards, so it is more muscle mass and reduce body fat further.

When I set my first ever goal to weigh 68kg i really didn't think that I would get there and I proved to myself that goals are achievable.. so is this one!

Heading away Fri, so back soon!

nearly holiday time..

.... after this last week... I am ready for school and kinder to end for a few weeks..

... Emilie has been sick (my kids hardly ever get sick and I am not a nurse so it is just as well) But she has had to solider on. The primary schools in town (Primary, St Mary's and the SDS) have been working for months for the festival of healthy living with street parades and two performances of the most amazing show at the town hall. It was all focused on feeling, mental health, acceptance, responsibility.. FABULOUS.

We are just so lucky that Warracknabeal was chosen. There has been artist coming into the schools for months to work on songs, music and puppets. I have some photos on facebook. (Ask to be a friend if you aren't already)

Anyway.. back to my sick daughter.. I have been running in and out of town taking her to rehearsals and back home again, then drugging her for performances and letting her sleep till 10am in the morning. She is finally getting better and has gone to school for the last day of term.

Camping.. we are going camping for the night tomorrow night. the kids are pumped, there mother is nearly there. The swag is near the office door ready for packing but I must be getting a Little soft in my old age and I am sort of not looking forward to a night on a 2 inch high mattress. We are going to these sand dunes things with about 25 other people motorbike riding. I rang the local (bush) hospital to see if there was a doctor on call.. there isn't, but at least they are aware that there is going to be there if something does happen.

Then we are home for a few days before we head west.. we are going to Lock in SA. Any SA reader who know where Lock is would be wondering why would we be going to the middle of no where.. well we have great friends there and are travelling with another family over. Spending a night in Port Pirie, a few days with them in Lock, check out Port Lincoln then head to Jack's folks for a little while in the Riverland. Jack's sister who also lives in the Riverland is in Zimbabwe at the moment, so no little cousins to play with but will be a great unwind time!

I have also been thinking about by new goal to work towards... will share soon..

Better go and do some house work

ipod...

sitting here bopping to new tunes...

Who else has fallen in looovvvveeee with Women's Health?? New mag that has been out for about 6 months I guess.. like men's health.. but it's for chicks.. very cool and easy to read. They had a great article this month about how your tummy actually works..

Anyway..
they had lists of 'workout' songs for different workouts and I have just downloaded the 'running' songs... not that I am doing much running at the minute.. but maybe it is just the tunes to get me going..

If you want the list, let me know and I will post it!

I fav exercise at the moment is the grandstand stairs.. undercover and it shits the 14 year olds off who hide up there to smoke...

better go and bop through the dishes..

Morning ride.....

I pinched my Mum's bike.. she has been away for ages and last weekend when I was in Horsham, I borrowed it. I have a bike, but it is too big for me and Jack has been riding it. Anyway.. mum's bike is newer and easier to ride. I would say cooler, but mum has one of those baskets on the back... that isn't cool.

The kids are all on 'big' bikes now (16 inch) and they move at a reasonable pace, so we have had a few family rides.

This morning, at 6, I rolled out of bed and rode for 8km.. felt the 'burn' and came home again. I needed my sunnies on the return trip cos the sun was just rising. I had on jack's ipod and was in my own world for 40 mins.. great way to start the day!

Tomorrow, we have to take one of our tractors into town (been sold for upgrade) and then i think Jack and I are going to ride into town.
Will let you know if we do and how we get on..

Make the most of the sunshine and do some outside exercise!

Placement...

is finished...!!!...

I had a great few days at the YMCA in horsham absorbing as much info as I could!!! It really did cement that I wanted to help people with reaching their own goals... very interesting people walk through those doors and made me appreciate my own health! I think at times I live in a bubble and don't realise what issues/injuries/conditions people have to live with!

Just need to work through assessments, including a video assessment... so close....

I just read a post about a big mouth dietitian in Tully's blog... a professional being so unprofessional... no ones' health is a joke.. and surely a professional dietitian would know that..FFS..

While I am ranting... I brought my summer dress a few weeks ago.. when I say my summer dress, i mean the dress that will be worn to all christmas parties and outings etc.. I am lucky that most of our parties don't cross, so different people at different parties... anyway... it is cool... and I would wear it now with a pair of leggings and a black top under it (from www.body.com.au - summer collection)
Anyway, in our local target store sat morning buying flannie shirts for my boys, and I asked this teenage shop assisted if they have leggings??? She headed over to the ladies section and started flicking through the rack and say "They only go to size 16.. let me look over there..." (I think she headed to the option plus rack...)

Fuck

Me

A didn't follow her across the store....

I Stood there, mouth open wide...

Speechless (for once...)

I just walked to the checkout and brought the flannie shirts and size 10 undies that I had in my hands while she was yelling out from the other side of the store that there are "... bigger ones over here...."

Get fucked....

Anyway... home day today. Tomorrow my Mum is coming home. She has been away for a MONTH and can't wait to see her and I also have duck shed clean out.

Back soon..
