Getting geared up

Lovely sunshiny Canberra day.

But got to bed SO late last night (my favourite movie of all time, Night of the Iguana was on TCN and I just HAD to watch it till Nonno finished his beautiful poignant poem) that I could barely crawl out of bed today.  And thus did not join my lake walking friends.  And went to brunch and was reasonably good, except for the bacon (which truly I was not expecting to come with the meal but ate anyway because it is not good to waste food).  Then I felt bloated.  This 12WBT is starting to shrink my appetite.  I can't eat as much as I used to without feeling full.  A good thing I guess.

Then a nice afternoon procuring myself a weight bench so I can do some weights and various other exercises at home.  The very very nice boys at Sportsmans Warehouse even put it together for me which was a bonus.  I bought the MB weight set yesterday at Big W. I am not wedded to getting MB everything but I shopped around for ages, at different shops and online and these were actually the most reasonably priced, unless I wanted a set of adjustable weights which sounds like too much extra work during a workout for me.  They weigh 12kg plus the rack.  I could barely lift them into the trolley.  I thought to myself that this is how much weight I've lost already and I have to lose twice that much again at least.  No wonder my organs aren't coping with carrying all that much weight. 

I bought a new set of scales at Sportsmans Warehouse as well.  I think my current scales are weighing me at 2kg less than I should be.  Hope not, but tomorrow morning will tell.

Still haven't done my organise and diarise task - it's really hard.  I know there are people who have done beautiful high tech Excel versions, but I've bought myself a wee ring bound book with plenty of pages in it and will be using that.  Maybe I could sort of be putting it off.  My first red letter day is the Saturday of Week One, my birthday.  Going out to dinner with friends.  That will be a test!
