Is it February already?

Time surely does fly by, back at work after the chrissy period, where does January go? I had a great christmas and was flown to my hometown in the Pilbara as a suprise to my sister and mum, Dad organised the whole things and managed to keep it a secret. Seven hours after leaving Sydney I land on the otherside of Australia and back in the red dirt, the bush!! I don't think I have been back to Tom Price since 2002 and the last time all of us had christmas there was 1998, so a great catch up in the back patio with 44 degree heat... lots of cold drinks, bbq's and chicken, ham, chicken, ham.... you know how it goes. Enjoyed the counter meals down the local pub with the boys who I am sure have super glued their arses to the seats in that pub..always there guaranteed. Managed to get a round of golf in with dad and a few of his buddies, scored 52, nine hole course was 45.. it was 7am and soo hot, but not bad for an old gal who hasn't played properly for like 10 years.

My first NYE in Sydney was a great night!! Went to the Italian Village and managed to consume champers and champers and some more champers.... fireworks were very impressive and was a good way to see in the new year.

So now, things are going very well, managed to get a new job with my company working in the city - which is going well so far, been here a full week now and enjoying the change of location & team situation, my role as Executive Assistant is now more varied.

Am all focused fitness wise, managed to stay 75kilos from christmas and the first few weeks in January when I had visitors from the UK (which meant beers and fish & chips on the beach). Had a great time catching up but I think I put on a few more kilos!! HOW HOW HOW

So I have decided that on top of my gym routine I needed more discipline and more action in the mornings (hah don't we all) so I joined Bootcamp @ Bondi. Just completed first week and I find that they push you and make you work hard. The sand defnitely makes you feel the burn and my poor toes have no idea what is happening to them!! They are used to "walking" on the sand... none of this running caper. In between sit-ups, push-ups, shuttle runs, rope work, medicine ball work, sand bag work you do manage to work up a sweat, get the heart pumping and the legs burning as well as somehow still managing to have a smile on your face. The instructors are great, they push you but aren't like the guy from GI Jane (thank god) they are great as it is our first week and I hope I can keep up the pace in the next three weeks.
