Oh Boy, just for a day off


So last night was fabulous seeing Pink but today is another story. I have already organised a day off for today so thought, excellent, get the exercise done and clean the house. Yeah right. After going to bed at 2am, I had to wake Daz at 5am, once he had left at 5.30am I thought, nice, back to sleep, MandySpice can get herself up at 6am like she told me. Yeah right. 6.20am, still no noise from MandySpice except for her alarm constantly going off. As I am a control freak I get up and tell her to wake up, which she is but now decides at she doesn't have to leave until 6.40am, which I find funny as she needs to get from Craigieburn to Mill Park within 15 minutes to start her shift. Much to my disgust, I hear her get ready for work which didn't entail food or hot drink, I hear her crack a can of COKE! Kids nowadays?? Any ways, she's now gone but within 30 minutes of her leaving she calls to say her car has broken down. Oh my God. Then again 10 minutes later to tell me she has a flat tyre and her boss is picking her up from where she has broken down. Jump back into bed to only continue to get calls from her. So on a few hours sleep I'm up. Get a call again to ask if I can drive to her fathers work in Laverton to pick up money to pay for repairs. It's day off people!

============================================

However I can say with pride, exercise is done and not as sore as I was when I tried to do the same workout 2 weeks ago and then stopped. Cause I couldn't walk properly! But day 4 of the plan down. Yeah for me.

So much for the not exercising thing tonight

Well it took for ever to get into the city tonight to go to the Pink concert, and then we had to walk from Swanston St car park cause there seemed to be no trams coming! So we walked there and back. Although it didn't seem far, that last stretch seemed like it would never end. We finally got to Rod Laver Area and found a huge line, I thought it must have been people buying tickets, stupid me since they were sold out. The were lining up to go through security before even entering the line to go in the front door! Had to empty my drinks into cups as you couldn't even take in a water bottle for Gods sake. (Yes you would be suprised to know I took water to the concert;-)) However it all seemed to hard. Merchandise was over priced as per normal. The concert booklet was $25, flashing things were $10, key chain things that go around your neck were $15, t-shirts started at $45 and even the single was dearer than the t-shirt at $55, there was a sleeveless hoodie at $75 and a tracksuit type of jacket at $95, needless to say I came home with nothing. I won't even send $20 on a Nike or addidas t-shirt. There were some scaley guys at the end of the concert on the street selling t-shirts for $10 that just said P!NK. But no didn't buy from them either.

So as for the concert. Boy can that girl sign and perform. The things she did hanging from from what looked like curtains but really long and also something that looked like a fishing net, the mind boggles. All in all a good night, she was on stage for about an hour and fourty minutes, which seemed to be over in a blink of an eye. My poor friend Jody, (getting better everyday I hope) didn't make to the concert but I called her from the concert and she got to hear some at least and hopefully my digital camera caught some good clips that I can email to her.

WooooHoooo

WoooooHooooooo today is PINK day!!!

I haven't done any exercise today and won't fit it in between now and the concert so I will have to jump about like a school girl to get in at least 30 minutes of cardio today. I sure do believe that going to a concert with my georgous neice MandySpice is better than swimming laps anyway :-)

Tomorrow is the beginning, well sort of


I have finally finished putting together my plan of attack for exercise, so tomorrow or today with the walking, is the first day of my 6 week exercise plan. I have emailed Sportz Blitz for my starting measurements coz silly me didn't write them down for my own use, duurrr. So at least for the 6 weeks I will have something to compare to. Once I have received the info back, if ever I will make myself accountable and post them on this blog and update weekly. However not my weight as I have had the battery taken from the scales to help me with my complusive disorder of constantly weighing myself. Being the nice person that I am, yes I am too, I have given the same plan to two others at my work. Should be interesting to see how folds and who comes up with the quickest excuse not to do it :-)

Eggs, eggs, everywhere eggs


I have found myself falling back onto an old friend 'The Egg'. I have now been eating 'The Egg' for that past week. Whats with that? Its seems that whenever I am stuck for a protein, my old friend comes out of hiding. Do you think I will get sick of eggs? I definitely do not want eggs to be the staple of my diet. Today I had an egg on toast for breakfast and for dinner, as I'm on the late shift, I will have eggs on a sandwich. What will I have for lunch???? There are no eggs left, boy I'm going to be stumped.
I have at least put on my new sneakers and have been for a 30 minute walk today so can cross off the exercise from my list.

Just don't know what to do with myself

Isn't that a song?
So this week I am on 1pm-9pm, well at least for Monday & Tuesday so I have all of this time in the morning which I end up just wasting, so need to find things other than I guess cleaning and watching tv. Its 10.25am now so I have already wasted 2 hours from when I got up but I have sweep the house, all of it, put washing on the line and another load in the machine, cleared up the lounge, put the rubbish out, made an egg on toast, had 2 coffee's watched some tv and here I am, back on the internet. I really need to be more productive though. You may say that I am doing things but are they the things I want or need to be doing?? The answer is NO. I know this but do you think I will do anything else. The answer again is NO. I should be exercising people. But the thought of putting on my runners and going for a walk, its not making me feel uplifted. I could do the ironing, but I hate that to. Wednesday is a public holiday for Anzac Day and I will do probably the same as today. Thursday is 9am-5pm with the Pink concert in the evening, however just found out the friend Jody that I am going with has ended up in the hospital! Get well fast Jody. So will have to find someone to take her place, if I can and then I'm off again on Friday to relax.

So the point to my post? How am I ever going to change my train of thought and get my butt out there exercising?
