It’s really not my main focus at the moment - my half marathon training is the priority - but it is nice to see the numbers getting smaller. I’m down to 68kg. I’ve lost 1kg in the last 12 days, which means I’m only 300g off my pre-travel weight. I’d like to lose another 3kg, but I’m happy for it to happen slowly.

The Circle of Influence is a real eye-opener, and very important if you want to get somewhere with something in your life. Figure out what barriers to your situation you have absolutely no control over (eg I can’t get fitter because the weather is terrible in winter) and stop concerning yourself over them. Be proactive. Focus on what you can control or influence, use it to your advantage, and take responsibility for your situation (eg I can go to the shops and buy a fitness DVD and do it at home).

Banana, almond butter and honey on wholegrain bread… toasted. Heaven!

Banana “Ice Cream” Sundae with Almond Butter and Chocoloate Chips

Slice a banana into 1 inch rounds and place on a plate. Freeze overnight.

Blend the banana well, then stir in almond butter. Scoop into a bowl and top with chocolate chips.

Other awesome toppings include berries, honey, nuts and muesli.

Dancing with excitement at running such a good time over 3km tonight!!! I did the same time trial one month ago and my time was 16:36, so definitely a big improvement today. Tonight was cold and wet and dark but training was great regardless.

June 30th at Studley Park in Kew, 10.8km, I’m in. Reblog this if you’re running in the series!

for my Run Melbourne half marathon fundraising. I’m raising money for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia’s only public cancer specialist hospital and largest research facility. Ask me how to donate to this worthy cause! Every dollar counts. You can also help by reblogging this post.

And my brunch just arrived… creamy polenta with roast mushrooms, a poached egg and spiced relish. This is food heaven.

Relaxing morning.
