superbowl

Hello everyone!! How was your weekend? We got some snow here most of the day Sunday, but luckily I ran my errands on Saturday. I also had a wonderful massage on Saturday. I had my masseuse focus on my neck, shoulders and back and the 50 minutes felt like 10…seriously the time flew by. My shoulders really needed that focus though and I think it helped my workout for Sunday morning.

Since Saturday was just my usual shopping, I thought I would talk about Super Bowl Sunday since I actually took some photos.

My morning began at the gym shortly after 8. I wanted to get out early before there was too much snow and I am glad I did. The roads were a bit more slippery by the time I came home, but then I was mostly in for the remainder of the day.

hip thrusts to end my workout, this was the toughest part after being so tired already

Other than the fact that we went out to lunch down the hill at Moe’s. I can’t remember the last time I had Moe’s and I was really hungry Sunday so I ate A LOT. I went over my macros a bit for the day…

Brian was home for the day and that was a nice surprise. Also his mom and the dogs came down for the weekend. I didn’t even know until a few hours before their arrival, but it turned out to be a good weekend with them visiting. Brian smoked and then fried some wings for our super bowl feast.

In addition, we had speidies and pizza. I was pretty full after snacking all afternoon…but I did like the cheese pizza and ate a couple slices. I think finally after that, my hunger was at bay.

I’m not a big super bowl watcher, but it was nice to relax with Brian on the couch and watch. Also since the Eagles were in, it was a bit more exciting, having lived in Philadelphia. I enjoyed watching the half time show and through the third quarter, then Brian had to head back to work on the very snowy roads and I was for some reason wide awake when it was after 9pm, so I decided to make my bed and write this post. With the snow and all, I already knew I wasn’t going to be going to the gym in the morning. Hopefully the plows will catch up overnight and I just have to work to rearrange my workout schedule this week and watch the weather. Currently it’s saying 5-8 inches of snow Wednesday!! But they originally said only 2 inches for Sunday and I think we definitely got more than that with the steady snow all day, so it’s always hard to tell.

And I had to stay up to see how the game ended, watching the score online while I listened to podcasts. What a tight game it came down to. That last minute!! Go Eagles!!

Hello everyone!! Coming at you from Melbourne now.

It’s already Monday here and we just finished watching the Super Bowl. Wow that was a crazy game. I am not very into sports, not even the superbowl, but Brian wanted to head to a bar and watch the game. So it’s superbowl Monday here and the bar opened at 7:30am for the 10:30am kick off time (local time). We got there right when the kick off started. The bar had American food specials, like nachos, chilli dogs, and wings. Since it was also breakfast time here, they had Hotcakes (or pancakes) too. I enjoyed some pancakes and bacon for my breakfast #2 since I ate my first breakfast 2 hours earlier.

Brian enjoyed some beer and I enjoyed 1.8 liters of water… yep in the time we were there, I got myself a jug and drank the whole jug myself. Basically I drank half a gallon of water. I needed water as I get dehydrated at times while traveling like last night on the plane. Our plane was at 9pm New Zealand time and a 4 hour flight, but we went back 2 hours so we landed around 11:30pm local Melbourne time. I slept a bit off and on, on the flight, but was happy to be in our bed at 12:30am.

Since we will be in Melbourne for a week, it gives me a chance to establish a routine. I looked up yoga studios in the area and found a yoga, pilates and barre studio a 15 min walk from our hotel. Even though I went to bed at 12:30am, I woke up at 6:30 and headed off to a pilates class at 7am. I almost didn’t find the place as I was one street off, Little Lonsdale vs Lonsdale street… but I found it in time and was happy to join a small class to start my morning. The intro offer is good for unlimited classes for 2 weeks, but I will only be around a week. I plan to do at least 5 classes, every 7am one and that brings each class to a little over $10 instead of the $25 drop in rate per class. My legs have remained strong throughout this trip so far but my arms need some work. In other words, planks were killer this morning.

So my Monday included a workout, grocery shopping, figuring out the kitchen in my hotel and watching the Super Bowl. After the half time we headed back to the hotel but found the channel on our tv in our room and I finished watching. Brian decided to nap as he didn’t sleep well so I decided to check out the free wifi in the lobby and hang out for a bit. I must say, it is nice to get back to writing. I can’t believe how many posts I came up with in the past couple days with internet again. I will likely not have much internet after this week as we will be on the road again through Australia this time, but hopefully I can pop in from time to time. I will definitely be updating Instagram.

Now it’s time to take the rest of the afternoon to plan out things to see in Melbourne. It is nice that we take a chill day every now and then. I also have to leave you with this beautiful sunset picture from right before we took off from New Zealand Sunday night.

Thanks Katie for the link up.
