Workout

Workout today was 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 sets of front squats. I was doing 40 kilos. And I rode to and from work. We were going to do the stairs but didn't.

I was in a real fitness funk last week and didn't work out at all. I went to CrossFit on Wednesday and still was just not feeling it. But today I felt like the funk had lifted...

And this might be why! My amazing new shoes!


They are so light! As soon as I put them on, I was like, "why was I not wearing these before!!!". I love them...

Bye bye old shoes!



The other thing in health news is that I've now gone Paleo. In a nutshell, you can only eat what humans were able to eat in paleolithic time. It's also known as the Cave(wo)man diet. It's going really well. I'm trying to keep my carb intake to 50g - 100g per day.

 But it's shocking the amount of sugar in things. As you probably know, sugar is a carbohydrate. I was drinking juice the other morning, and I knew there was a lot of sugar in fruit but for some reason this was a shock. In this little bottle of juice...


...there was 40.3g of sugar!!! As you can see, I was already half way through so I finished it and it was so yummy (I love juice) but no more til I lose this fat!

GlossyBox

My first GlossyBox arrived the other day. It was very exciting.


I was so excited I snapped a pic right there in the post office! It's so beautifully wrapped!
In case you're not sure what a GlossyBox is, it's basically a subscription to a monthly delivery of 5 sample sized items. It's supposedly high end brands like Bobbi Brown and Jurlique but it also have things like Dencorub and Palmers in it. So there'll be about 20 items each month that are available, and you get a random selection of 5. Now you won't be able to subscribe to GlossyBox anymore cos they recently got bought out by Lust Have It, which you can find here: http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/

See beautifully it's presented?


 And this is what I got in it:


My favourite item was the SheerCover lip gloss and my least favourite is the PowerBalance band...because that's a crock of shit.
