So four days after my run my legs are just about pain free, although I must admit that it is probably my own fault that it has taken a bit longer than I expected. You see in my infinite wisdom I decided that it would be a great idea to do some squats on days two and three - as a result I have now decided that I am an idiot!! Doing squats with sore legs just makes them worse - who knew haha.

| Nom Nom Nom, Doughnut cake - could you resist? |
Quick question for you guys. Why is it that whenever you make a decision to do something like eat healthy, unhealthy food is EVERYWHERE?
On day three of being healthy it was my brothers birthday so suddenly my world is bombarded with Junk! McDonalds for breakfast, Thai for dinner, and of course there is going to be pudding, and lets be honest who in their right mind is going to turn down these foods after they are put in front of you?
But I did feel pretty proud of myself. Yesterday we had a little goodbye afternoon tea for two of the girls at work and without a second thought I resisted the temptation of the gooey yummy slices that were put on the table for us.

| Ouch!!! |
Now i have found myself in a bit of a predicament. After making a goal of doing three boxing sessions a week i have hit a wall. I decided that I would start my boxing on day two(Wednesday night) only issue is that I then remembered that I was booked into the doctors the following day for a minor procedure on my arm which meant cutting and prodding, leaving my arm with a cut, bruising, bandage and pain. This brings me to my dilemma. I have done one boxing session and given the state of my arm won't be able to do any more until mid next week. So I think I am going to have to throw in the towel for the boxing and sub it in for some other form of exercise and reset the goal for next week.

| Look at my cool new shorts |
I was pretty pleased with myself yesterday, I managed to score some awesome running shorts at an amazing price. These were originally priced at $20 from the Warehouse marked down to $9.99 and then (drum roll please, badadadadadadadadadadadadad!) a further 50% off. That's right, really nice running sorts for $5.
They also had some really nice sports bras for the same price but they only had the mark down on the ones that were sized large or over. For the small ones that I need you are still expected to pay $20!! How is that fair?????

| Look at all the fresh foods |
Saturday is Market day here in Kapiti so it means that you can go buy all your fresh fruit and veges for the week ahead out in the open air from the local growers. I love going to the markets every week but I have gotten slack over Christmas. Between Christmas, Christmas left overs, New Years, New Years left overs (yes when we cook for the holidays we cook right, so there is always food for days left), two birthdays and a funeral I have barely had a chance to cook at home let alone need to shop for veges. But I am pleased to say that I did manage to get down to the markets today on this lovely sunny Saturday morning and I got myself a swag of fresh food. From onions to capsicums, watermelon to mushrooms my fridge is now overflowing with goodness. This is the best time of year to try and get healthy in my opinion. Mother earth makes it so easy for us with all of the sweet, juicy tastiness that is summer (and yes in this analogy i am using Watermelon - which I might add is mighty delicious at the moment, even at $7 a melon!!)
