January 6th

A work night, so my routine was a little altered. I started out with Michelle Bridges' super circuit, whcih I haven't done in at least four months. I was quite pleased with how well I managed to keep up, except for the abs section. I'm not up to full pushups but know I'll get that back again in a couple of months, and I think I'll be a little sore from the 80 (modified) pushups and 40 triceps pushups.
I had planned on walking from the tram to work, which is a good half hour and includes a steep ten minute hill. My calves weren't up to it, though, and I called it quits after ten minutes, and wimpily caught a bus instead. I did, however, take the stairs seven flights (one then a walk to the next staircase, two and another walk, two, walk, two, for a total of seven flights and three brsk walks in five minutes.
I make porridge for breakfast using a combination of skim milk and water, and added Goodness Superfoods barley and oats (with higher levels of beta glucan and fibre) to the regular rolled oats. I also threw in some chia seeds, linseeds and brazil nuts, which jumped the calorie and unsaturated fat count, some dried fruit, and some hot berries.
My overnight meal was supposed to be a salad wrap, but I forgot the wrap, so instead I had a bowl of salad with marinated and grilled kangaroo fillet. I cooked two, so tomorrow will be the same. I wasn't particularly hungry when I got home, so I had a kanga banga and am off to bed. - Alex
