trying to learn ;)



I'm trying to learn how to put my photo up in the profile area. In the help section it says to post a photos first, so here goes see if this one helps.
The Superman ride at Movieworld, that first 'big' rise and fall is 4G's (Like losing your stomach but 4 time worse!!!)








The photo below is my boyfriend Kane and I on floor 77 (observation deck) at the new Q1 tower, the tallest residential tower on the Gold Coast








I took the plunge today, I contacted Sue at Ideal Bodies Online and have purchased a program from her. Because she is preparing for a competition at the moment I will be given an interim program to start with, but my 12 week challenge start will be the middle of July. Very excited!!!

I'm home...

Welcome home to Victoria is what the weather said yesterday as we flew into Avalon. From Brisbane to Victoria it was beautiful up in the air, I think I spent the whole flight with my head squashed up to the window! You can imagine what that looked like to those around me :) But as soon as we get close to Avalon it was like a thick blanket of fog layered across the land around us... yes there was a distinct line of fog. We flew through the fog (which turned out to be a cloud) and wulah... there was Melbourne... drab, drab, cold, dark and dreary!!!!

Last Tuesday we went to Movieworld up on the Gold Coast. I was so proud, I did all the rides... Since I'm scared of heights my hands shook after every ride. Don't do the Superman rollercoaster first, this is a warning to anyone... try the lamer ones first. You feel like you're about to fly off into the sky so many times.

I met up with my mum and step dad and younger brothers for the night and had dinner at a beautiful restaurant in Southbank. Home again to Wodonga and into netball training again tonight. I think as a team we are going to start spinning classes on a Tuesday next week, one of our team members is a fitness instructor at a gym. That should be good.

It's cold up here!

Hello everyone...

Well I am on holidays yay :) I have been looking forward to coming to Brisbane for 6 months having not previously been to QLD before, well it is cold. I'm in my PJ's at the moment after spending the day at Surfer's Paradise. I was shocked at how commercial it was, almost felt like Melbourne walking around the shops there. We had fresh fish and chips at Pete's Shack and went to the top of the Q1 tower for a look. We were lucky enough to see three whales blowing water down below us. I got some good photos of them and some good ones of the main beach and my BF and I, but I'll have to wait till I get home to post them.

I have been pretty good with exercise over the last two days, our hosts are very active and so I went for a 1h20m walk yesterday around the Jindalee hills and Brisbane river boardwalk and today went to Curves for 1/2 hour and a 1/2 hour walk home. My back is still pretty sore from netball and the bruising from the massage is still coming out, but hill walking.......... I'm not used to that and I'm definitely feeling it in my calves and my butt!!!!

Off to have my hair done tomorrow and shopping in Brisbane. As well we are having tea at Southbank and then across to the Casino. Saturday we are watching our friend play AFL football, we'll fit in some shopping too and then chill. Sunday morning we are going to high tail up to Sunshine Coast to Noosa for the day and then back to Mooloolabar to stay somewhere flash on the main strip. Theme parks are the go on Tuesday and then back to good old Melbourne to meet my Mum for the night in an apartment before the drive up the Hume to freeeezing Wodonga. Night everyone :)

Holidays



I am soooo glad it's the holidays!!! I slept in to 11.30 this morning and I must of needed it. But one of the bad things is that all your time disappears when you sleep in so late. It's been a good day though. Cleaned after having amazing friends around last night, went to the movies to see the Da Vinci Code, which I thought was pretty good and then went to my friends house to get some myotherapy treatment on my lower back. I got slammed in netball on the weekend. I played one of those girls that really wasn't that good, so to make up for her short comings in talent department she attacks her player rather than the ball. Now I'm not the type of person who lets herself get pushed around on the court so I gave a little back and then she had the gawl to call 'me' a psycho!!! How rude!! Anywho to cut that story short I was a very sore little vegemite yesterday and so I've been massaged and ice massage to try to cut down the inflammation.

I'm off to Melbourne tomorrow for an interview about teaching in Japan next year, then onto Geelong to stay the night in Motel and flying to Brisbane at 8.05am out of Avalon airport. Can;t wait, get away from this cold weather in Wodonga. Doing lost of fun things... Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, markets and BF going charter fishing. Then back to stay in Melbourne Wednesday night and then back to Wodonga for netball in a fortnights time.

Only bad thing about going away is I'm going to miss my two beautiful cats.

Anyway I need to go and pick up Kane from his brothers house, they have been boxing for some fitness, I've never quite understood how they enjoy it myself.
Stay safe and take care.

Welcome me!!!


I have been reading other people's blogs for months thinking, I should do this. Well like with everything else, I 'think' too much and 'do' too little! Well I final got my butt into gear and here we go. I've decided to start a blog to make myself more accountable about my mind and my body. I am a member at a gym, I play netball for Mitta Mitta United in the Tallangatta League in North East Victoria, a teacher in Wodonga and life is full on!
I want to focus on becoming a better me with the help of this blog, I think it just might help to clear the mind help to enjoy the important things in life.

The above picture was taken at the conclusion of the Anzac clash between Collingwood and Essendon. The BF hates this picture he thinks he looks to sleazy, hehehe!!! Wrote that just to annoy him!
