Crazy day. Gym was late because work went slightly haywire and so I ate lunch before gym which was pretty unpleasant. Eating before exercise is definitely not a great idea. I had only really just got into the swing of things at the gym before I had to pack up and head back to work. Sucked.

A co-worker brought one of those groovy heart rate monitors to work and we all did our blood pressure and pulse. For anyone interested, my heart rate is 102 over 57 and my resting pulse was 51. After returning from gym my BP was about the same and my pulse was about 72 after walking back from the gym, and bouncing up the stairs (cos I like to run up steps).

At the gym today after despairing about no interesting things happening, a dude was drying his speedos (for non aussie vistors - swimming trunks I think johnny foreigner might call them?) using the hand dryer in the change rooms. Which was a bit uncomfortable as the urinals are next to them and I found it a bit off putting when I was trying to get ma wizz on. I'm sure he was as unsettled as I was, but it's a situation where you don't know where to look as you walk past the man drying his speedos. Odd experience.

Dinner was a bit odd too. We went out and used a Christmas voucher from my work and had fancy dinner out. My capacity to eat food is that much smaller now that even though I had a very small dinner and a fairly moderate dessert by my previous standards I feel bloody bloated. I ate as healthily as possible for my main course, I did enjoy a glass of red, and also dessert (which I have been avoiding pretty faithfully over the last weeks). It was special dessert though - turkish delight panna cotta with rosewater, pistachios and persian fairy floss. Which pretty much tops my list of things I would eat whenever humanly possible.

Tomorrow I am going for the tasty diet food as it doesn't leave me feeling bloated and gross. I am also gunning for double yoga this week with a session after work tomorrow as well. Lets see how that goes shall we?
