Easter, diet & workouts

Oh joy, 4 days of not having to come in to work. What a blissful thought. It's also made me realise why I have been lusting after chocolate so much of late (and desperately telling myself...you can have something at easter) - I love easter egg chocolate.

Oh well, I can have some on Sunday!

Well, yesterday I did weights - Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, before heading up to Sydney for a full day of agency meetings.... such a waste of time! Still, I suppose it has to be done.
I resisted all the goodies that they put on the table yet again - they just love bringing out all the good pastries etc for morning tea. I packed my water, my John Berardi protein bars (easy travellers), and a tuna/soy pasta mix for lunch. Mmmm. Inspirational . Not. Dinner was the shredded coconut crusted chicken breast from John Berardi's book, and green beans.

I watched Biggest Loser as well last night. What transformations have taken place with those contestants over the past 8 weeks. Hell, I'm even beginning to like Courtney. God forbid. I can understand what made him the way he was though, just insecurity. But the courage that took to do that canyon swing..god, my stomach was in my mouth, and I was just watching it on TV!

This morning I ventured back down to the beach - did about 1.5km jog, with 8x100m sprints with a walk in between. Nice and tiring.
Tomorrow morning will be a big leg workout - and I will incorporate some of those VM burning lunge pulses/half ways. Then I'll go and ride the horse and rake the arena - more good 'incidental' exercise.
Saturday will be a day off - we have friends coming over, but there will be an early horse ride.

Sunday, apart from a visit to my mother in law, will involve a bike ride.... if I can convince my husband...otherwise that might switch to Monday and Sunday may be a back/biceps/abs workout..... all depends on time!!! Plus I need to get an early ride on the horse in both days....
