Protein Smash
Site has its benefits.
No partying when I'm up there (honestly, who would I party with? The blokes over at the Mine Workers Club? Don't think so.)
Just work, eat, sleep. Work, eat, sleep.
The benefit being that I have been sans alcohol, ciggies, partying, late nights and heavy carb loading for almost two weeks now and I must tell you I feel bloody fantastic!
Having consulted a PT at my local SNAP he gave me a little heads up with the whole eating plan. What I didn't realise was that there are carbs in everything and loads of sugars in fruit. Here I was thinking that an all fruit diet would work when actually it was just packed full of sugars, albeit the better sugars.
Added to which, I've stopped trying to eat less and have started eating more regularly. 5-6 little meals a day. It may be 7 almonds, a can of tuna or a spoonful of peanut butter for a snack in between meals. And because I'm such a grazer I love it. I have never felt starving hungry or deprived.
So fast forward two weeks, I've drastically reduced carb intake (relegated to some salady bits at lunch), upped the anti on the protein fix and I've managed to drop at least 1.5kg!
It's amazing how bloated breads, rices, starchy stuff can make you feel.

This was an amazing Sunday.
Brunch with the girls was wonderful. It's so good to see them. We all get so busy in our lives but there is reason why we all continue to catch up. We are such good company for each other. I love hearing their news and I love telling them mine.
It left a warm glow in my chest.
Bought a gorgeous little white summer dress with metal beading neckline feature. LOVE
Visited with the parents for a few hours to chat and have tea.
Scoped out my sister's new living arrangements at West End.
Sat and watched the afternoon clouds roll around the sun on the Kangaroo Point cliffs. Beautiful. The warm sun with a cooler afternoon breeze drifting across my skin carrying the scent of jasmine and jacaranda blossoms. There is purple every where.
Went for a massive hour + walk on the River walk with Boo and the Jets.
Dyed my eyelashes black so I don't need to wear mascara.
Cleaned my fishies out. And fed them. They're hungry boys.
Packed my bags for another three days at site.
It was a full, balanced, beautiful Spring Sunday.

Soulmate
Manifestation
Meditation

The first three are huge cards to get in a row. The last two are giving me instructions.
That's how I see it anyway.

4 days at site down.
Tonight is a night for doing washing.
Stocking the fridge with protein.
Sitting on the couch watching crap tv.
Having a long hot shower to wash the coal and dust from my pores.
I'm ever so slightly melancholy. Tears welled in my eyes five minutes ago. For what? Exhaustion maybe?
Burgeoning loneliness?
I'm doing so well keeping out negative thoughts from my mind. Focusing on all positive stuff and knowing that the universe has me on a divine path.
Yet, I can't help but feel the need for some pure love in my life.
Someone to put their arm around me.
Someone to touch my face.
Someone to chat with.
Someone to make me a hot cup of tea.
Some one's neck to snuggle into when I go to bed.
Someone who will snuggle me back.
I miss that warm glow deep inside my soul that is love. And security through that love.
I haven't felt that way for a long time and I think that's what I'm craving.
More than a donut or chunk of chocolate cake.
Love come get me.

24 hour fitness
Joined the gym.
Did it.
Have been twice already.
Planning to go in the morning again. Burning the calories is fun - the treadmill tells me.
Feeling sore. Surprisingly woke up feeling fat, tired and ugly.
No pain, no gain.

To join, or not to join?
Post London party holls I am now contemplating joining the 24 hour gym up the road.
I'm that desperate. Bloated does not even begin to describe it.
Normally I would walk along the bike track on the river but there has been torrential rain in the "Sunshine State" over the last week - continuing into next week.
Gah.
Also, this is what I have to look like come 1 December:

It's totally doable you guys.
Commitment.
Focus.
No boozing.
Have another look:
It will be tough - I've given myself 6 weeks to get this fit.
Boo is doing it with me for support. He wants to lose 6kg. That's a kg each week.
We'll be high-fiving each other on the treadmills at Snap.

Long Haul Flight Tips
Firstly, I am pleased to report that the compression tights worked a treat! And while I was glad to be rid of them after the 26 hours I have to owe my skinny feet to them.
Secondly, Emirates.
Reasons to fly Emirates:
1. Hot male hosties. It's TRUE. They are hot.
2. The roof of the cabin lights up with tiny stars for sleep time.
Reasons not to fly Emirates:
1. Rude female hosties. I wasn't on the receiving end of this rudeness but I did hear the attitude flying all around me.
2. No night pack. Qantas gives you a rad little night pack with an eye mask, cotton socks, mini tooth brush and tooth paste and mini bottles of water and snacks. Emirates does none of this. Boo.
3. The "one stopover" trip when really there are two. We got off the plane at Singapore AND Dubai. TWO
4. Then monotone blather of the Arabic that seemed to go on FOREVER. For someone who speaks a few languages, and enjoys studying them, Arabic is truly a hideous succession of clicking hiccuping and gulping.
There you have it.

He is my ex boyfriend.
A person who knows my soul.
Extra cuddly and supportive.
And my neighbour.
For this I'm so grateful.
Love you Boo.

9:30pm EST
Back.
After spending a not-as-bad-as-I-thought-it-would-be 25 hours in transit I'm back in Brisbane.
I took a valium and slept from 2am till 4pm. 14 hours. An all time record for me.
It's pissing with rain. I spent $100 at Coles to start off my health kick for this week. Detoxing is high on the agenda as I'm bloated and dehydrated with the ridiculous amount of partying I did while on my London sabbatical.
I'd love to say that it's good to be home. But I honestly don't feel that way. I'm missing London already.
On my cab journey home from the airport (1am) as I drove past some local "Brisbane Hot spots" it was a ghost town. Where are all the people? This truly is a sleepy little town.
I know that in a few weeks time I won't notice this as much as I do now.
Sheer population creates a wealth of opportunity for dating, meeting, partying, networking. It's the chance of running into a beautiful French man or being taken to a boozy schmoozy Monegasque party at the Saatchi Gallery on Kings Road. It's being treated like a lady constantly. Constant civilised male attention. Constant entertainment. Tables laden with any kind of drink you want at the most exclusive star studded clubs. Glamorous 'Rainwear'. Access to the best fashion in the world. Access to the best everything in the world. Proximity to Europe. Different cultures. Etiquette. Different accents. Wealth. Power. Prestige. Opulence. Cheap cabs who don't ever need sat nav.
I miss this place bad.
This is the hazard of being a citizen of the world.

Last night I had a huge dream. Flood waters were coming to Brisbane and the whole city was preparing to get all food and belongings on the very highest points of the city.
City Hall was in the middle of the scene, standing out with large steps leading up into it like an ancient Mayan temple. Everyone braced themselves for the flood waters to come in military style. Preparations were made, panic stricken people here and there with sand bags, tins of food and water. My parents were there with gardening gloves on?
We saw the flood coming like a very slow sedated tsunami. But it only reached the bottom of the stairs then stopped. There were massive cheers from the waiting crowd that we were saved!
To memorialise the "almost flood" the council kept the low brick wall and the rectangular pond it created right where it was with gold fish in it.
So vivid, so strange.
Mystical Meaning: The story of Noah, the Epic of Gilgamesh and other myths about floods represent a purging that prepares the way for something better. Everything in your life has been swept away so that you may start anew.
This meaning rings true to me strangely.
