Friday
Missed my workout because I had to organise Harley, pick up Mum from the station & fly to Melbourne! Did do a lot of walking though…
Saturday
I was freaking out a little about the state of the hotel gym, but it’s good enough for the week! I didn’t quite hit a 1000 calorie workout but I did OK. PodRunner for 40 minutes, then squats, walking lunges & sit-ups.

Sunday
Thank goodness for PodRunner on my iPod! I’m doing the ‘couch to 5km’ one at the moment.

It’s a little harder to track my calories now that I’m in Melbourne for the week, but I am being conscious of my intake.

The summary
The first week was actually pretty good considering I was hungry for most of the time! 1200 calories a day is going to take some getting used to as the portion sizes are small.
I love getting back into hard core exercise, which wasn’t a huge stretch as I was still doing 4-5 sessions a week anyway. Stepping up my weekly sessions with my real life personal trainer Joe will be good as he pushes me that extra bit.
Being in Melbourne is a little challenging because I can’t cook for myself (staying at a hotel) and there are so many temptations (hello, Italian food!) but the hotel has an adequate gym that I’m making use of. I am allowing myself some treats because I’m working out in the morning and then walking everywhere about town. I won’t be able to weigh myself on Wednesday though, so I’ll have to do it when I get back next weekend.
