Back on the treadmill after a great Easter break
March 24th, 2008
I’ve had a really great Easter long weekend.
I always struggle a little bit over an extended break not to eat a little more than usual and drink the odd glass of wine.
This long weekend was actually really nice. I did a little bit of photography on Saturday. Took my partner and our dog to a bush area and I snapped away for a couple of hours. The place I took them to is right opposite where I work and I often see kangaroos feeding first thing in the morning.
I had hoped to catch a few on film but is always the case, whenever you want to find the roos, they are NEVER around! Still, I got some good shots of some native trees which was great.
I’ve posted a couple of my pics, one of a tree I look at almost everyday from my office window. It’s a dead tree but I just love it for some reason. The other is of our local beach and was taken at sunset after we took our dog for a run.
We had a steak dinner which I made. It was a scotch fillet, potato bake and garlic prawns. Really nice although a bit disappointed in the steak.
Sunday I spent the day painting so felt like I got a bit of a workout. We had a friend over for dinner and my partner, being from Texas had been craving chicken fried steak. Soooo, I made that. I had a very small portion but obviously it’s not so good health wise.
Today we did a bit of gardening, went for a nice long walk with our dog down the beach and played some wall ball. This is a game we play with our dog and is essentially a case of throwing the ball at the wall and trying to catch it before the dog. He is small but fast. He rarely misses his chance to get the ball before we do!
Tonight my parents are visiting and I’m thinking spinach salad and chicken. Should be nice and low fat.
If you look at my weekend, it’s pretty easy to see that I didn’t exercise all that much and I chose some bad options food wise. There’s no excuse for that but I think it’s probably not all that unusual for people to drop off their regular workout routines when on any form of break.
Still, I feel that I was fairly active and I know that from today I need to start eating healthy choices and get back on that treadmill.
And speaking of treadmills, I couldn’t resist showing one of my favorite videos showcasing some pretty nifty treadmill skills.
So does anyone else wish to share their weekend tales? Good and bad welcome!
