Sun is Shining, Weather is Sweet

Yes folks, back to normal today, although it is not quite your usual Wednesday for me today. My partner's birthday has interrupted the schedule a bit, but I did get up in time to make it to the gym this morning for my usual session. The figures were more or less the same as yesterday as I followed the same speed and incline variations as yesterday. I did find the workout easier than yesterday, but not as easy as previously. I think that doing the full workout after a training session with the trainer will be a real test tomorrow.

The workout results are, as usual, posted on the fighting phat web site which you can link to from the links section of this blog if you like. The total calories that I burned during the workout amounted to 662.5. Not bad for the day, but today being a special day will mean that the diet is out of the window. However, my partner will turn 30 only once, and provided that I don't go overboard it should be okay.

I got home and made poached eggs on toasted ciabatta with hollandaise sauce and smoked salmon for my partner. We had a coffee before the food, and while eating we had a bottle of Moet between us. Fantastic start to the day - wish I could have Moet every morning! No, I think that would probably send me to an early grave! It is nice stuff though, very good as a breakfast drink when the occaision calls for it.

This afternoon we are off into town for a walk around the rocks and a few coffees in some of the finer places in town. We are also going to check out some of the chocolatiers in town, and possibly sample some wine on our travels. We have dinner booked for later this evening, and will probably have pre-dinner drinks either at the opera bar (near the opera house and looking out towards the harbour bridge) or up on the 36th floor of the hotel where our dinner is booked. Apparently you get stunning views of the harbour and the city from up there. Should be nice.

Check back tomorrow to see how the evening went, and of course I will also be reporting on the session with the trainer. Friday brings weigh in day and I will be interested to see how I go this week.
