Day 3, Week 1

Today was a great day and the first day doing this that I had to make choices outside the home. Always a test! My fave Auntie in the world came over ( after I actually had breakfast! A chilled glass of strawberry So Good...delicious may I add) and we decided that it was such a gorgeous sunny day that staying in wasn't an option. Paige, Julie and I headed to Woodend ,on the outskirts of Victoria's beautiful Macedon Ranges for lunch.

As I know the area quite well, it was my choice of venue so I decided that the Brewhouse that I have played numerous gigs in was an optimum choice due to the scrummy food, great beer and gorgeous beer garden. Oh crap! I can't have a pale ale! Never mind, I thought, and off we went. To make matters more complicated,there was not just one, but three menus of choice on offer, all tempting me with amazing sounding dishes. In the end, however, and with great pride in myself, I ordered the sweet chilli and lamb salad (pictured above) with a diet coke. I must say that I wasn't disapointed! It was delectable!

The three of us walked around Woodend , browsing the gorgeous shops and being spoiled by my Auntie along the way! After an hour or so of simply walking, we stopped into an enchanting little bookshop/cafe for a skinny cappuccino and then it was of to Melton shopping centre as Paige wanted to "...buy stuff". More spoiling, more walking around and then back home to chill for a while on the front deck, the sun shining, birds chirping and many laughs and a cuppa or two.

By the time Hubby got home accompanied by his apprentice, time was getting on and it was time for Julie to make the long treck back home to Kinglake however, this didn't end the front porch frivolity.An hour or two was spent laughing and carrying on with Adrian, Jamie and Paige which just flew and, before I knew it, it as after 9pm and no dinner had been eaten and no exercise had been done!AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

I decided to go for a walk to the shopping centre where I bought a sustagen and a banana. 2 birds with one stone!

So, there was no planned exercise today yet plenty of incidental activity ( I would chalk it up to about 1 1/2 hours walking ) and good food choices regardless of Eves apple staring at me at every turn!

I am proud, nourished and really tired but thankful for my loved ones and friends! Life is good!
