Must be happy with that! Its going to be a 41 degree week so I’m very happy with the air conditioner The house is soo cool and nice! The lawn isn’t big (awesome) but green and the dogs love it (Izzy has adopted BF and wont let Jackson go near him HAHA) they have a massive pergola with slate floor and lots of attention :) My entire body is sore, BF is hurting a lot more tho… he’s injuries is making them self’s known and he has been forced to take some strong painkillers.

Thursday
Only 2 days to go... Its going to be soooo good when the move is done, when the overtimes is done and everything is back to normal. I feel I'm wearing a bit thin at the moment... YAWN! only 2 days...
Tuesday, January 20
Internetless from tomorrow too!
Just remembered that I canceled my phone (silly me) from tomorrow... ah well...
To Keto or not???
Ive been reading about the ketogenic dieting by Lyle McDonald and he has some great reading in the book. Lots of interesting stuff, its a bit odd eating that amounts of fats compared to "normal"eating. However the feeling of fullness is very attractive. I'm not sure I could go that low on carbs but I think ill increase fats a fair bit and lower protein. I do love my superpums (all carbs baby) so doing a TKD targeted ketogenic diet might be the go. However ill start with increasing my fats and se what happens. I do find it interesting to see how the body responds to different thing. One learns a lot :) Still not starting anything structured yet until the move... (yes thats why I bought the chocolate LOL)
Gym today went great (despite getting up at 5.45, walking the dogs + working for 10 hours..)
Squats, 10xbar*3, 8x40kg*4
Plie 6x40kg*4

Crushes amap*3 + plank
Tour Down Under craze in Adelaide right now... I guess I should be excited considering my Bianchi and riding and such (atleast thats what I'm told at the office) but I dont really want to go down and watch the cyclists... will give me lonigngs for getting a new bike and thats no good lol plus its not really my thing watching it... although it would be fun to see Lance... but no...

Wall-e
OMG Im in LOVE this is the cutest movie ever! I watched it twice in a row (never happened before) and I loved it even more the second time. Such a great movie and if you havent seen it yet - its time to do so! Im going to buy that one, it has knocked down finding nemo from the first spot on my list of great ones.I have rested during the weekend, well from gym anyway, have been packing and driving and packing and driving... most of my stuff is at BF's right now. It still looks like someone is living at mine until you open a cupboard... Ive cleaned behind the oven and I managed to buy mum (and mysel) a guess back, half price of half price! what a ripper! Its a white one (I got mum a smaller version, more like a evening bag) I just love it!

Friday plans
First I need to get off the couch! Had a fantastic walk this morning, went past the reals estate agent (I have a viewing on Monday) signed some documents, then down to the beach. The dogs where thrilled! We played a bit and walked home. Took about 2 hours :P
Izzy found a green patch on the walk
Izzy and Jackson waiting for me to get out of the office at the real estate agent
Today Im going to do runs to the dump (need to get the junk out of the garage) Im also going to clean behind the oven (EEEEEEEEEEEEK)
Im taking 3 days of traning, well only really missing one session ;P but I reckon 3 days of light recovery work and 3 days off sounds like a good way to go. My body feels good and rested.

Free internet
Brought the laptop over to BF’s place yesterday and one of his neighbours has a unsecured wireless network HAHAHA I’m so lucky… reception isn’t the best and the speed leaves a bit to wish for but free is tasty! Saves me about $70! So in 2 months when my contract runs out I’m cancelling my internet haha
Road rage
I cannot believe some people! Driving to work today (in a 3 lane highway mind you) this (*******) lady behind me sneaks up and keeps about 10cm distance behind me. Never mind the lanes on both sides are empty…
If someone is tailgating me I slow down, slowly at first. I get down to 60 (its an 80 way) and I keep an eye on her in my rear-view mirror. She (????) waves her hands in the air like what is she doing??? I politely give her the finger and slows down even more… but no she still tailgates me for the rest of the way down hill, until she realises shes in the wrong lane (as you turn of the highway) and moves to another one. Unbelievable… I have seen stickers saying “I randomly break when I’m tailgated” I’m seriously considering in investing in one. There is nothing worse than that!

GOSH
Diet went way off today let me tell ya :P Lindt chocolate and co ruined it Ops but my how yummy
Stinking hot
Yesterday got up to 41 degrees. A bit much and the house was stinking hot. The gym to but since I’m only doing light recovery work it was fine. Did quads, hamstring, calf’s and abs. Took about 40 minutes and then home to the heat LOL
Did have a great sleep (Air con in the bedroom + a cooler change that came in overnight) only 34 today…
having one of those days today and craving stuff so i bought a handfull of some wasabi peas and peanut galore (all the peanuts to the left mixed together :) ) mmmm feel much better now!

bleff
Tried the Nano Vapor just now and BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGH taste is horrific and i feel sick! Not ever ever ever going to have that ever again BLERG
Im reading a ebook right now and it talks a lot about visualisation, negative thoughts and mental images. Its is so true that we have a tendency of putting oneself down all the time. I cant do this I cant do that... one thing that I have learned during the competition and during my renovations is that yes you can... for example (its soo easy to do this to oneself)
I thought it would be really hard to get the lights in the roof to work properly, the light switch in the lounge was for the new room and the lounge in the current configuration. I was so sure I would have to pay someone to come fix it for me. it felt like a massive hinder... but then bf explained to me that its probably just to swap it. I went up on the roof and yes, that was the case, took me about 10 minutes and the job was done. easy... If I would have gone up on the roof, believing I could do it from the beginning I wouldn’t have looked upon it like a massive task...
It all adds up and if you feel you can do a little thing in the whole picture anything you want to do don’t seem so hard or tough does it?
anyway, enough rambling... heading off to the gym
bye for now

A koala in the car park
Well he was actually sitting in a tree behind the car park… but I got really close! Isn’t he cute????I got the final word from Maria today and she’ll get Saturday off. So we will do a dinner somewhere in Glenelg (ill facebook an invite soon)
I;m thinking maybe hogs breath (mmmm steak) or Europa hmmmm tough choices!
And unless someone has a stove to sell me cheap I wont be able to fix my place until later. Hopefully we can find someone to rent it anyway… feel bad about it but hey… It’s a ridicules amount of money to get someone to look at it, 75 call out and then 15 per 10!minutes… plus spare parts and my freaking stove is ancient (cant even find the model via google – now that’s OLD)

Work load
The work load at work is very small, they even asked if anyone wanted time off, I put my hand up : ) great! More time for packing! I’m having Friday off, that means 2 long weekends in a row! I HAAAAAAAAA! Quite lucky cause there are so much (shit) that needs to be sorted when moving… addresses, forms and renting the place out doesn’t exactly make things easier.. phew…
The oven is a lost cause and it will probably be needed to be replaced, that I have NO money for… hmmm… I got the tip that it might be a gas leak in the back, in the form of a valve that’s gone crusty and if I replace it, it should be fine. So ill have a look tonight…
Morning weight yesterday was 58.6ish (well kinda hard to see but it was under 59 and over 58… so that’s all going accordingly…

exhausted in a good way!
my it feels good. I have ripped out everything in my drawers, you know, the stuff you might use but never do but dont want to throw away. I have thrown it out! and lot of daggy old clothes, all and all i think 11 garbage bags. It feel fantastic!!!!!!!!
I went over the backyard too and its all neat and tidy, managed to get sunburned, I did put on sunscreen twice, but apparently not enough.
Made a fantastic lunch/dinner, salsa chicken with salad, corn and avocado and cheese. YUM! sorry for the blurriness
One of BF's friends had her birthday party (she's one massive party girl) and i really couldnt muster any energy to go. so poor bf had to go all alone (feel a bit bad) but just way to tired...

Resting
I have done about 5 weeks of the new program, I do like it and it feels a lot better come Friday. But all in all the last day of a proper rest (since I managed to only miss one day of training this Christmas) was 03/11/08 (9 weeks) I think its time for an active rest week. (I know I need to work on the rest part of training)
Bf is doing this now, training light/high rep to just get a pump and recover, he reckons it feels good and I think ill do one of those for a week, keep the current program (ie exercises) just do really light sets and high reps!
A couple of days ago I got a yellow bag from one of the charities around the place. They wanted clothes, books and stuff. At first I though, geee might be a good idea to send the bags out a bit earlier so people have time to go thru their stuff but I managed to get a lot done yesterday. After bf left I attacked my wardrobe and managed to fill the bag and a second one (I managed to get rid of most of my ex’s old clothes too HA take that! (It was a lot of official AFL singlets and stuff i.e. expensive)
I also put out my Thai pillows and some magazines. Fingers crossed they want them! Saves me going to the dump cause I’m getting rid of A LOT of stuff that is usable but just collecting dust. This weekend I will clean out all the closets and throw away all the old paper and stuff… refreshing and I should have done this a long time ago!

Renting my place out
Sooo the dodgy lady came around yesterday… I arrived at 5.15 (our appointment was at 5.30) and she flipps out of the car, going heeeeeeeeeeey I just left a message on your phone I thought you where going to be a no show (ehm I live there) and I was early. I got a bit thrown off by that and didn’t really say anything comprehensive… she did have awful black teeth too and I just couldn’t stop staring… anyway… she walks around makes notes (I thought I was going to have a few minutes to spare and tidy the place up but since she was early..) anyway, she called the colour (housing trust yellow) modern (HAHAHAHA) and said she really liked the place (she obviously wasn’t looking to good cause the backyard was a mess and there are a lot of dodgy fixes)
225-250 a week she reckons so I got to be happy with that. Jackson liked her tho, he kept sitting beside her and licking her feet HAHA she didn’t move a muscle lol She did present a good offer so I decided to go with her.
So this weekend there are a lot of things to do since she will be starting to put people thru next week, clean the place (and keep it that way) clean the backyard (MAN That’s going to be a biatch) hopefully I can drop a lot of construction junk off at the dump too… phew… and it will be like 35 and sunny… not exactly the best weather for gardening..

Yesterdays training and my ! am turning 30 in less than a months...
Training yesterday went okay I guess.
My legs felt funny, like I had a pump before starting and that was before I took the black powder (didn’t like that made me feel queasy)
Squat 10xbar*3, 10x35, 10x40 (GOSH SOO HEAVY)*2 8x40
Leg raises, 10xnw, 4x5lbs+6, 5x5lbs+5*2
Seated hammy curls (had to try) 10x10*2, 10x25*3 (okay I guess, hurting a bit still)
Rope crunches, 10x3plates, 10x4plates*3
Standing calf raises, 10xnw, 10x40kg, 10x60kg*4
This morning I heard something interesting on the radio. They where discussing when “Satan returns” its apparently some astrology thing that takes about 29.5ish years to do a full circle and when that happens a lot of changes appear in your life (ie 30 year crisis) people divorce, change jobs, do silly things. Well I guess I do feel that… I did my competition and I have had serious thoughts in moving back home and I did change jobs HAHA crazy!
In the same note as I am turning 30 in a months, Im thinking a quiet dinner with anyone who wants to come might be the go. Nothing major (don’t really feel like throwing a massive party haha not much to celebrate…)
Today a lady is coming past to look at the house, hopefully she says I can get a fair bit in rent for it and if she seems nice ill get her to manage the house. Maybe I should let her do it if she’s not a nice person lol
Washed the dogs yesteraday too, its soo funny how the cover and look miserable when i hose them down, its soooo cold and im sooo misstreaded kind of look (it was sunny and 30 degrees and the water was a cold 25 haha)
Then if we go to the ocean they both happily throw themself in... its like its scary cause its from ?above?
My legs felt funny, like I had a pump before starting and that was before I took the black powder (didn’t like that made me feel queasy)
Squat 10xbar*3, 10x35, 10x40 (GOSH SOO HEAVY)*2 8x40
Leg raises, 10xnw, 4x5lbs+6, 5x5lbs+5*2
Seated hammy curls (had to try) 10x10*2, 10x25*3 (okay I guess, hurting a bit still)
Rope crunches, 10x3plates, 10x4plates*3
Standing calf raises, 10xnw, 10x40kg, 10x60kg*4

Diet thoughts
Diet for these couple of months will be on a caloric deficient of about 400, this will have to do for now. Ill have my bonus meal on Saturday’s and will keep the counting looser on the weekends (not very picky during the weeks either) and see how I go.
During the weeks the diet will look like this
Breakky, either oats with cottage cheese or omelette with cheese and sweet potatoes.
Early lunch, salad with avocado and chicken
Late lunch, as above
Pre workout, some aminos and NO (superpump)
Post workout, aminos!
Ill have a meal when I get back from gym, either a shake with berries (frozen since its sooo nice now during summer) or an omelette with sweet potato if I’m hungry for something foodier
Dinner, either meats with veggies and avocado (do love my avvo right now) or chicken mince in salsa sauce with veggies and tada avocado.
Easy to make and tasty, of course if I want to swap whatever ill do it, just try to keep the calories about the same.
Other supplements that I take is 6 fish oil capsules, 3 magnesium/calcium, 1 E vitamin and I have taken the animal pak down to 1 every 3rd day and add some berrocca the other 2 days.
I prefer having a bit more relaxed attitude towards this,
A I don’t have a date set for when I want to be done with it,
B I don’t want to obsess around it or restrict my diet to much.
C it’s a bit easier to have a life this way….
D I don’t have a lot to lose, weighed in at 59 this morning and I’m thinking 57 will do and then up again. LOL yeah seems strange and such a small weight to lose but hopefully ill manage to get some muscle that way…
With this strategy it should take me about 6 weeks but aiming for a bit longer!
And I managed to get back onto the diet stuff, not good, it was just soooo tasty when i was working with the house... but ill give it another go now!

Tired today, didnt get to bed until 11-12ish (since Ive turned my day around a bit) but thats fine, will be going to bed early today!
Got a new NO supp to test today, gotta love freebees! Do like my superpump but it will be interesting to see/try something else. Have a nano-vapor in my cupboard to (another NO supp) that BF gave me - its only a couple of scoops.
Training today went good, despite the tiredness.
Standing military press (the bar would weigh maybe 5 kg)
10xbar*3 wp
5x20kg*8
Seated row
10x40lbs*2 wp
10x100lbs*8
Chins (mashine today too)
10x3plates*2 wp
5x5plates*8
Bench (no increase today)
10xbar*2 wp
5x25kg*8
Overall not a lot of increases but I managed to do the heavy weights for most 8 sets so thats one sort of increase.
Just had second dinner (LOL) lovely lean cut meat with pumpkin mash and avocado gucca;) Easy and tasty!

Renovations!
I have finished! I’m done! The house is ready! It’s not perfect but its rentable so I’m happy with that. It was a lot of hard work and I have not had time to do much else… its actually good to be back at work and get some relaxation time LOL
Bedroom 2
The new bedroom
The lounge with the new wall
Me and BF didn’t do much on NYE, I was really buggered from the renos and it was quite good to have a relaxing night at home. We did have a nice dinner but nothing special really…
Diet wise, well I have cleaned up since Christmas (welllllllllllll its only been a week really) but haven’t done much else, except eating a fair bit more than usual since I’ve been working a lot more with my body (hopefully all that sanding will give my shoulders a boost) Hoovering around 59 right now. Good to be back at work tho and get some routine in again…
Gym, I still have a few weeks left on my current schedule and it feels good so ill keep that up. HIIT has gone out of the window, my knee cant coupe, so I’m doing some SS 2-3 times a week instead.
Tried wasabii peas yesterday, BF thought id explode cause they would be strong, they weren’t haha but very nice indeed!
