Up at 4am today (4:04 to be precise), great session in the gym and then a minor brain fart that caused me to get off the bus at the other end of Perth and walk a few kms to the office. Very pleasant walk along the river.

Physical, Mood etc.:
Morning – Woke up at 4:04 and straight up and into it!
Lunch – Some slight aches and twinges from this morning. Excellent mood and frame of mind.
Night – Alert and upbeat.
Notes:
Felt my stomach muscles kicking in with the rowing today – quite possibly for the first time. Pushed myself each time to get under the 2:30 mark. Well knackered at the end of it all – amazingly quick recovery though! A great session.
30 minute meditation on the bus works wonders. Start the working day with the system fully booted up and running and a relatively calm and still mind. Perfect.
AWESOME Gary, talk about smashing the weekly goal of at least once under 2:30…. today all rows were under 🙂 WELL DONE!!!
With your morning tea, I would like to see you add in a handful of nuts,seeds almonds, walnuts, any sorts of seeds really…. just watch for added salt.. (peanuts can be bad for that!)
Keep up the fantastic work
Cool – will have a look around for healthy nuts and seeds and throw a handful in each mid-morning.
Possibly add in a dash of yoghurt if I’m feeling really daring. Banana, yoghurt, nuts and seeds. Sounds delicious!
