Working out

So the last few weeks my working out has been somewhat sporadic. I'm still under my points daily for WW and earning about 15 points min a week for activity. I've signed up for Yogalates at work, which is more pilates than yoga at the moment, but either way a nice way to recover from the sometime brutal Persona Training sessions on Sundays. This week I had a bit of trouble with the pilates due to hurting my wrist at PT 2 weeks ago, i still can't put a whole lot of weight on it, so things like "downward facing dog" pose and push ups etc were not very fun, however the class overall was great. Boi is joining me as well which I'm really happy about, this may help get him more involved in working out, he's still categorically refusing PT sessions with me :P

We have a friend staying with us for a while so my workout room is currently inaccessible, planning on trying to work out outdoors whilst the weather is almost normal (as normal as it gets here, today is 31C and thunderstorms, go figure).

Work has been some what manic again, it seems that for the last 6 months i haven't had a chance to do anything other than tread water and just survive. Although everyone is just as busy so it's not a problem in that sense. I still do lots and lots of work.

I have decided I would like to get a Body Bugg / Body Media device to help tracking my work outs and my caloric burn in general. I'm kinda trying to work out what I need to do to get this weight coming off for me. Reading up all my studies, rereading all my WW books, reading everything I can get to online. I know something will click at some point and it will work. Something HAS to click, I can not keep going this way. For now I will keep eating healthily and work on increasing my exercise and being more consistent with it.

Back to the Body Bugg / BodyMedia FIT, OMG so hard to get outside the USA. I can order them in Australia, but they are a complete rip off at over twice the price (considering the exchange rate this is just highway robbery) The BodyMedia should be available in Canada (my sister is in Toronto) do you think I can get a website to accept a Canadian shipping address? Not to save myself. So I've tasked my sis with trying to secure me either the Body Bugg or the Bodymedia FIT and then mailing it out to me. If all else fails I have to wait until May when she and Mum will be in New York and they can get me one then (can you say impatient hehe).

The last few days I've been guzzling water and a heap of tea, and as I drink it I usually comment "I love tea" and I do I really truly love drinking tea. I have an 800ml pot at work and a little tea cup I use. The ritual of making tea is almost as important in the process for me, no matter green or black tea (although I would drink black tea all day I try and spread it out for a bit of extra antioxidant love in the green tea). Interesting fact, did you know that tea leaves are NEVER washed before drying and packaging. Now if that's not a good reason to buy organic I don't know what is. My current favorite tea is a Darjeeling / Assam blend of English Breakfast by "Serenitea", it is beautifully smooth, no strong tannin aftertaste, just a slight sweetness after swallowing. It's a really lovely tea.







What is your favorite drink? Do you have a special way of preparing it?
