It’s Aussie Day today and instead of sleeping in I got up to meet Terri
down at the lake for what was another first. The lake was packed with all these
stall owners who were setting up for the day’s festivities. There was barely a
spot of spare grass to train. No worries though ‘cos all we needed was the
track... oh that and the dirty great big green pole out of Sophie's truck! It was specially
sanded down and painted black, Omg! I couldn’t believe that we were about to run
around the lake with this thing and in front of so many people…ugh!
Terri brought her son along to the session today. The three of us set
off, sharing the weight of the pole on our shoulders as we ran (shuffled out of
sync) around the lake. At different points, in front of different stall
holders, Soph had us stop and do an activity with the pole. Some of these
included reps of raising it up and down over our heads, doing sit-ups with it,
squats and racing back and forth to it. The trick was not to let it bounce around
too much on your shoulders and when carrying it over our heads, you had to keep
your arms fully extended as you ran or you’d end up bumping your head. Poor
Terri and I each copped a blow to the noggin. I was happy with today’s session but I wish I
could get back on track when it came to the food. Don’t get me wrong I haven’t
been eating a bunch of bad stuff but I have indulged a little too much for someone desperate to loose numbers. I need to pull the reigns in on my serving sizes and start
recording my daily stats in order to be more accountable. I’m just not there
yet.
