I had a really full day but didn't manage quite as much exercise as I'd like. I started the morning with Michelle Bridges' Tight, Toned and Terrific DVD, which I see I haven't reviewed, so there's a review above this post. I kept up okay, except for the triceps dips and some of the abs work - clearly I have pasticene where I should have muscles.
Then I joined a friend at the Melbourne Aquarium - it was my first visit, and lots of fun, though I'm surprised I clocked up only a couple of thousand steps, and it felt a lot longer walking through with a small child. On the other hand, she's not a baby I did carry her much of the way, which must have upped the calorie count. I planned to walk more later in the day, but time got away from me - instead of walking to my audition immediately after the aquarium I had to get a lift with my friend, and as that went a little longer than I expected I caught a tram to Flinders Street station instead of walking back. So I only managed about 7,500 steps, and even though that still averages out at well over 10,000/day across the week, it's not what I'm aiming for.
Breakfast was a Nudie breakfast juice - I bought a few of special (only $1 each) and have to move through them before they expire. I brought my own lunch to the Aquarium, and didn't manage to finish it at the time - a wholegrain wrap with baby spinach, smoked salmon and avocado, a couple of cherry tomatoes, a length of peeled Asian white radish, and another Nudie juice. As I'm working tomorrow I stayed up late and finished the wrap and juice off when I got hungry, around 1AM.
I had dinner with a friend and her family - the original plan was a BBQ chook with quinoa salad and vegies, but sadly the takeaway shop is still closed for the Christmas break. Instead we had a beef and kidney bean casserole with broccoli, carrots and basmati rice, with sliced pear and nectarine for dessert. It was very nice, but a little distressing on the OCD front because I didn't what to put into Calorie King! All in all a busy but not terrible productive day. - Alex
