Report from sunny Qld!

Happy to say that it IS sunny!!

I started writing when I got to Melbourne so here is my 'review'...

Woke up at 3.45am! I’m in Melbourne now, 8.15am and feeling rather seedy! My flight is in 45 mins so don’t have long to wait. Having a coffee, yes a real one, at GJ’s here at the gate. Had a screaming child all the way from home to Melb, in the seat behind me.

Well, about 40mins to go until I reach Brissy. This flight is much more comfortable! I just started (and almost completed) a document titled “Maintaining Your Results”. I feel this is something that most people always have a concern with, and rightly so – so, I will have an article full of instructions, ideas and tips, and will send out to clients as they get close to the end of their program. Will also place it in the Library – when I figure out how to do that!!! Ok time for some shut eye. I think I will need a little nap before I train today!!

Where do I start! Have not had a chance to get to writing. I’m now in Coolum with Di and G, it’s 7am and I am waiting for Di to get back from walking big Arnie and then we are going to do some stairs. My legs are SO sore, quads in particular, from training with Jason a couple of days ago so not sure how I will go with these stairs! Walking up and down these stairs in the house is painful.

So, I’ve been in store at Bodizone where I did get a little bit of work done but not a lot. Today will be catch up day while Di is at work. Jason and Ang, and the kids, were wonderful to me while is Brisbane.

I tried to sleep the afternoon I arrived because I got up at 3.45am that morning for the flights (which were all on time amazingly!). Jason and Mitch picked me up at the airport, and took my luggage home, then we went into the store and run through a few things in there. We both hit a brick wall by lunchtime so I tried to sleep but it was SO hot that it was just impossible. I layed down for over two hours. We then trained chest, biceps and abs at Healthworks gym. My abs are still sore :) Trying to spot Jason was impossible, I nearly injured myself, let alone him :)

Next morning, up at 5.30am to train at 6. Legs that early in the morning has never been my forte, however, I think I did a good job because I am killing now! I wince every time I walk up a stair. 2 heavy sets of leg press followed by a drop set. OMG. The pain! Then smith squats, heavy, as many as I could, then Jason stripped the weights for a drop set until I could do no more. One drop set of extensions, then curls, then calves. Done.

The ad went well – it took me 11 takes to get my lines out :) very difficult smiling and talking to an inanimate object with ‘feeling’. It was so hot, everywhere I go has no air conditioning!! I then did some walking on tready, elliptical, tri pushdowns and bicep curls and it was all done. Ang did my hair and makeup, which was great.

After the ad we then back to shop and there was a lady waiting to chat to me – it was Trish Bates, one of my Body Blitz winners! So we had a lovely chat, and then another lady arrived, this one a competitor doing her first show at the end of April. A

fter finishing up at the shop we quickly got ready to go out for dinner. We met Carolyn at the Breakie Creek Hotel. I couldn’t believe she is such a skinny Minnie!! What a lovely lady, and we all had a great chat. We could have chatted for hours I’m sure but it was a relatively quick dinner. I had 2 glasses of wine and felt smashed! Carolyn gave me an awesome bottle of Margaret River red and a card full of words that nearly made me cry!! Thanks for a lovely night Carolyn and I will be looking forward to catching up to you again very soon!
