Hi, I havent forgot about you!

Wholly Moley, its been over a month - that is shocking. Whats been happening? how am I going? how much do I weigh? all fair questions that I will answer!

So the last couple of weeks Ive been traveling a fair bit - spent 2 weeks in Melbourne for work and have spent the last week in the Bay of plenty and all over the show really! Melbourne trip was for conference and I took an extra few days to check out the sights and do some shopping - well worth it, I had a great time.

I decided to come off the diet while I was in Melbourne - was going to be a mission during conference and social events everynight etc. I did well and kept to the healthy options - salads and fish, red meat now and then and typically stayed away from carbohydtrates - right up to the last 2 nights really.. the last 2 nights I got on the drinks and also was seduced by garlic bread one night out at dinner - it was good times!! Went for a run eraly on in the trip wasnt familliar with the course, unfortunatley I hadnt stretched properly for the 3km down hill and have ended up doing some damage to my lower calf - resulting in me not being able to run for another week yet! - needless to say im a bit gutted and feel strange and lazy! I can feel it in my skin - when you run everyday your skin gets used to sweating and getting rid of the bad stuff, Im not suffering from a break out or oily skin or anything of that nature, its just that it doesnt feel as good as it has in the past few months!

Even with a poked calf muscle I manage to bust out some serious coverage of melbourne on foot, i must have walked about 50km over 3 days, seriously.. very cool place. I will post some photos in a seperate post .

when I got back from Melbourne I sketched out about weighing myseld - I was sure that I would be back up over 100kg - and am stoked to say that Im not!!! at present I weight 97.6kg.. so yeah to be fair the last few weeks have been very static!

Now that Im home I am back on the Optifast - Breakfast and Lunch and trying to build in a healthy dinner instead of optifast at night - typically this is steamed veges still, I am somewhat addicted!

Im going to keep this post nice and short so my minor holiday from diet does not own too much blog space (Eeee) and will post again next week when im back on the running / 'Leah Pananpa - Healthy Living Everybody" ' mission

P.s - Listening to Sola Rosa and Newton Faulkner on the ipod at the mo - great to wander around big cities to.

Peace.
