Well, we found a property and bought it! Yay! It's a cute little 3 bedroom on 6 acres just outside of Mission Beach-(for anyone that knows the area at all)...Mission Beach is a cute trendy little tourist town right on some beautiful beaches with cafes, resorts etc...and a gym that is open every day-OMG! For those of you who have read my blog for a while...you may recall that my gym opens at 6 only 3 days a week (and closed for 3 hours in the afternoon)and then 9 for 3 days and closed at noon Saturday and closed all day Sunday...and charges more than a gym that is open every day all day long! And this new gym is cheaper too! Though we have not had a chance to actually visit the gym and see the equipment, the lady on the phone assured me they are a fully equipped gym-I can't wait to see it!
That aside, we are stoked! The grounds of the property needs some TLC...and we are looking forward to digging in. The house itself seems to be in really good shape-and as long as all the inspections are AOK-we settled in a month-woohoo!
Other than that, have had some really good workouts this week. I've been doing my push up challenge training....have you? I do the push up training before each workout session-It really helps to make a killer workout!
OMG...Leg day was Wednesday-for a killer super set I did twisting lunges, holding a 5k plate (ll pounds), 3 sets of 10 each leg-each set super-setted with squats...just body weight-but heels up on a big plate-close together and super low-I could only get about 8 of these on each set....my heart was pounding! I couldn't believe it-then I did the butt kickback machine, then did another super set of extensions with plie squats (legs wide, toes pointing out)-holding a 10k plate (22 pounds), then dumbbell dead lifts. Wow! My legs were still screaming at me 7 hours later!
Have you been challenging yourself? Adding weight, changing the moves? It's all GOOOOOD!
Have a great weekend!

Congratulations on finding a home finally, Raechelle! That's one less thing to worry about. :o)
Great news Raechelle! Hope all goes well. I haven't been to Mission Beach for ages - it's a beautiful piece of paradise.
Sounds like 2009 is coming together for you. great stuff!
Keep training hard & ciao for now...Kerry :)
Woo hooo ... moving is fun! Can't wait to see some photos of your new home.
Thats fabulous! Sounds like my sort of place too... You won't know yourself being able to go the gym when you want - woohoo
congrats on the new place...it sounds lovely.
I'm still doing the challenge. I've stepped it up by investing in a personal trainer. Had my first session yesterday and it was a series of push-ups and pull-ups (modified). I can barely type this today as my arms are dead...LOL! It's exactly the push I needed!
Thanks Kerryn! I'm looking forward to it for sure!
Yep-things are looking rosy Kerry!
Too Right Chris! Oh, I'll be posting!
I think you'd love it Witchazel (what the hell is your real name-I know I saw it somewhere?!-LOL)
Thanks Linda-and well done! Sounds like a great program if your arms are limp today-woohoo!
