Rainy Days

It was pouring with rain here in Sydney yesterday and we woke to the awful news of the Boston Marathon. It just pains me to think how someone could think to do something so awful.

I am really liking having this place to document my days and how my exercise and nutrition is coming along and as my nutritionist just recommended last week I really need to be looking back on each day and thinking about where I could improve so guess what, ill be doing that on here! I am really motivated by reading about other people's days and how they eat and when they fit in workouts so hopefully others can also learn from my mistakes.

With the rainy weather it meant that I couldnt pick up where I left off with my bike riding. I was planning on riding to work but the roads are quite wet and not being the most confident rider, I decided to roll over and go back to sleep. I was very keen to try out my new pannier and pedals that I recently had on my bike. It did mean I could enjoy my current favourite breakfast of banana, yoghurt, honey and chia seeds!


I wasnt planning on bringing my lunch today, as it is not worth carrying the esky pack (cooler) on the back of the bike, so I had a toasted sandwich for lunch at work.

Things got really creative when it was time for my snacks, I had an apple for morning tea and wait for it.... an apple for afternoon tea!

After work I popped up to the gym to make up for my missed bike ride today and jumped into a spin class. It was tough, there was not many of us in the class but boy oh boy did she smash us! Might have to make the Tuesday evening spin class part of my regular routine I think.

Dinner was the most amazing meal in the world, the slow cooked massaman beef that I had cooked last night. My goodness it is so tasty and actually tastes better the next day I think!

Summary:
Calories in: 1180
Calories out: 484
Water consumption: 1.8 litres
Hours sleep last night: 8 hours.
