Just random stuff

Thanks for all the Christmas messages everyone, it’s lovely to hear from you as always.

You know we have had nearly 1 million visitors to our web site?!

Hey, something I have been meaning to ask – has anyone out there ever used one of those house swap websites? Where you swap houses with someone else for holidays? I’ve heard some awesome stories about these arrangements.

I found another Christmas pic of my nephews and me, 5 years ago! Oh how they have grown!

Training is back in full swing. Nadia and I went for our Sunday cardio together – must say I am really enjoying it. We yabber all the way so barely even know we are working out. Except for the sand sprints! We ride down to the sand bar (about 10-15 min ride) then put our markers out and do some short sprints. Then ride back to the stairs (tough going after sand sprinting), do some of these, then ride home.

Today I trained – was supposed to be legs but I changed my mind at the last minute as I felt like deadlifting! So, my aim today was to increase by 5kg, to 85kg – which I did. 5 sets of 5 (well 1 set of 4 actually, I lost my grip). Next week I plan to go up to 90kg and aim for sets of 3 reps. The weight is getting pretty heavy now, so it’s tough going. I can already feel my lower back is going to be very sore in a couple of days. Next time I deadlift I will try to remember to take my camera and try and get someone to video me. I wouldn’t mind seeing my own form actually.

As is normally the case, busting my butt in the gym like that has made me a bit sleepy so it is now time for a nana nap!

Tomorrow I have a scan at the hospital which I am kind of excited about for some weird reason. I’m interested in how my follicles are growing!
