Sadly not much exercise over the last couple of days, God I hate having my routine messed with.

First night in the hotel I take myself up to the “gym” only to discover that the “pool” is a stupid 1 metre deep, 20 metre long lap pool, so totally useless to me. Considered doing laps for about 2 seconds but there were already 3 guys trying to do laps there and frankly I was not feeling particularly comfortable.

So in a grump back to my room to do some core work instead and then off to Coles to buy a salad and a banana, not in the mood for room service.

The next day I was able to find a public pool about 1Km from my hotel, a quick call and they tell me they don’t accommodate pool running :evil: , by this stage I am pretty cranky and will settle for anything so I head along to swim some laps figuring it would be better than nothing. I probably spent about half an hour swimming, a mixture of breast stroke and freestyle, turns out my freestyle isn’t so bad afterall, though a bit tricky without goggles. Back to the hotel for some healthy room service (salmon, steamed rice and veg) and some more core work.

Home now, too late for the pool though. Doctors appointment tomorrow and then back to the familiar comfort of my own local pool.

Not sure I can face my weigh in tomorrow, generally ate pretty badly over the last couple of days as I tried to squeeze in meal breaks between meetings and stuff, not to mention the lack of exercise AND it’s that T.O.M. No wonder I was such a vile beast when I was overweight, 3 days without a proper workout and I am climbing the walls.

I did climb one of the Pylons of Sydney Harbour Bridge yesterday though, 100 step up, 100 down, taken very slowly as I am still looking after my legs. The view was pretty cool and I took a great picture, I’ll post it tomorrow when I can be bothered downloading it.

Thanks for the comment on the last post JH, very funny, gave me a great laugh :-)

Zzzzzzzzzz

Still have to work tomorrow, gotta rest now.
