I'm getting so slack at writing on here without any real reason or excuse. Life is busy but then it's always busy! Tafe starts back on Monday after a 2 week break so will be good to see students again but it does mean more work! The course I'm doing on training and assessment has me sweating a bit. Got to do 15 min presentation this week and, as always, I tend to get a bit stewed up about it. Not really sure why- I face adults and train and teach all week!!! I guess it's just my way of making sure I actually do the preparation. If I didn't feel 'fear' then I'd prob just leave everything to the last minute.
Workouts have been consistent and great. I feel so indulgent when I can spend a good amount of time just moving weights. Trying to vary what I do a bit but there is a limit to the different types of exercises you can do. I tried the d/b chest press with 30lbs ( 13.6kg) and found I could do it! lol I regularly do 25lb (11.3kg- and yes- I do have an online converter!!) but wasn't sure how I would go with the next weight up- didn't want to collapse in the middle of all those tough guys that preen their way around the gym! Got hubby to stand close to spot me in case I failed!
Tried the new leg workout in the latest Oxygen Mag- 7 sets of squats with varying leg positions. It was ok - but in the 60 sec rest inbetween did upright rows and bent over rows- so at least that made good use of my time.
I'm just rambling now- have a good weekend everybody!

Linda, we ALL hate doing presentations of that sort. I'm quite sure you'll be fine.
30lb DB bench press? Awesome! :o)
Did you have to mention presentations? I have to do one in a weeks time. waaahhhhh. I've found that I'm really proficient at making a dick of myself.
Well done on the weight training. Now I feel like scrawny girl. I'll just keep telling myself that I can swim better than you and I won't feel so bad.
Kerryn- I think public speaking is right up there on the 'anxiety'scale-lol- so at least I don't feel alone! Is 30lb good? I've no idea I just know it feels bloody heavy!!
Deb- hate to say this but EVERYBODY swims better than me!!!
Good luck with presentation- do think we could just run away together and then no one would notice???
Linda, I know you could run away. Maybe I could swim away.
