TGIF (already??)

Posted on April 30th, 2010 by Tracey

a week with a public holiday sure goes fast…

there’s not much longer until my awesome mother-in-law and slightly crazy brother-in-law arrive in Sydney (from the States) to meet Jovie and catch up with Jasper (oh, and see us too).. i can’t wait 😀

that said, i’m trying to cram in 18 hours of work into an 9 hour day before i take a week or so off – impossible, yet possible due to the little voice in me that says ‘DO IT, OR I WON’T LET YOU SLEEP’ and ‘YES YOU DO LOOK FAT IN THOSE JEANS’. ok, different voice but same mean girl attitude.

t.g.i.f.

Twenty Nine, Today.

Posted on April 29th, 2010 by Tracey

Twenty Nine, Today.

I haven’t had time to really think about the past year – but I know alot has happened since my last birthday .. and I know that I’m incredibly happy to be where I am right now.

Of course, being Thursday, I’m at work today but we’ll celebrate a little on Sunday when we have our traditional Yum Cha lunch with the whole family. Yum!

I thought it would be fun to compile a ’30 things to do before I’m 30′ list but I really can’t think of 30. I’ll post a list but it’ll probably be 8 things, or even 26 Things if I can manage it! There’s always something to do (like get a tattoo, finally) but I don’t want to rush into it because it’s the last year of my twenties 😛

Is there anything you wanted to do before you turned 30?

EA Sports Active: 6 Week Challenge

Posted on April 28th, 2010 by Tracey

I’m officially half way through my 6 Week Challenge using EA Sports Active: More Workouts!

Is it weird to want to work out? lol

How am I feeling?
I still feel great – the workouts are still fun and challenging and I’m burning more calories than the target suggests. Because I’m working out with the kids around, I find myself trying to figure out ways to keep the nunchuck away from Jovie (her favourite non-chew chew toy) and Jasper loves to join in with the jumping and running. I feel like I can definately go another 3 weeks and beyond

What changes have I made?
I’m desperately trying to cut my portions in half – and it works most of the time. I still like to treat myself 🙂

What are the goals for the next week?
Cut down on sugar a bit more (after my birthday cake though!!) and drink 1 more glass/bottle of water daily
