It's crazy pants at the moment.

It's just been crazy pants at the moment. I'm about as tired as I've ever been. And work all of a sudden just doesn't seem as important anymore for some reason. Sorry clients, I really want to do your work, but compared to hanging out with Jen you're just going to have to take a back seat!

Heaps of our lovely friends have been in touch to wish us well and I think I've realised how lovely people are in the world. So that's just lovely - thankyou everyone because it's a really nice reminder about the cool folks we know and have become friends with over the years. Especially the Melbourne folks who we miss heaps.

I have setup an account for jen to post to this and we'll have a go at blogging together to share our experiences over the next few months and to see if I can trick Jen into playing on the internet.

Day 11: Well, quite frankly that's not good.

It got late so posting this is difficult and for the first time feels like a bit of a chore.

Integrating the gym into my day has been just as hard as eating properly I reckon as it's really hard to get away from work some days. Another boring non-amusing insight.

Amusing side note. Couldn't get out of the shower bay at gym as one bloke was blocking the entire area. Felt vaguely embarrassed to have to ask the guy to move as he was completely oblivious to me. Which I suppose is good, as if he did know I was there... Well, quite frankly, that's not good.

On the plus side, my cooking is having a bit of a resurgence and tonight I quickly whipped up a zucchini slice using what I had to hand, chewing gum and a pocket knife, MacGyver style.

It's really good and quick to make. Here's how I did it.

Grate 2 Zuccini, and squeeze out excess water with your hands.
Put Zuccini in bowl.
Put 1 cup of self raising flour, 4 medium or 6 small eggs, half a cup of grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 4 slices of finely chopped ham in the bowl.
Mix. Mix like the wind.
Chuck it in oven on about 180-200 for 20-30 mins.
Eat!

Although I cocked up and put it in the oven for 5 minutes before realising I hadn't stuck in the ham (I use ham instead of bacon cos it's lower fat).

What I did today:

Walked to and from work: 3.4km

Gym: Weight Session. I was hating the rowing machine when I first got back into it and now it's not too bad at all.

What I ate:

Breakfast: 2 Slices Home Made Toast with home made apple jelly jam (1600kj?)
Morning Tea: Small Handful of Raw Nuts (~800kj)
Lunch: Turkey, Cranberry and Brie Salad Pita (2000kj?)
Afternoon Tea: Granny Smith Apple 220kj
Afternoon Tea 2: Regular non home grown fancy hippie cred carrot - not amusing at all. 300kj
Dinner: Slice of Zuccini Slice (1200kj?) small bowl of Potato and Leek Soup (1000kj)

Mood: Blank

sorry bun-bun!

I really do though. Probably something to do with Bun Bun's attempts to make love to my leg if I stand still too long.
