Finally kicking back into my exercise regime. i haven't been able to run in forever which has made it really hard to say the least. My morning run used to pick me up for the day and make me amped to do something in my lunch break. I've finally (in the last month or so) been going to the gym everyday in my lunch break, and I'm tempted to do my run today but I'm also scared I'm going to re-injure my knee or that it hasn't healed yet. I go back to the physio next week.

I'm looking on BangMB and makeup sites at the moment. I also need inspiration to work out, because after eating an entire easter egg I feel I owe it to my body!

Watching "Step Up" helps actually, makes me want to join a dance class... if I had any time of course.

Well... what else to say? Oh, yes. Well, I am starting Spanish classes soon, Nathan and have planned to travel through South America for about 3 months from November. Can't wait. We will also be volunteering at an animal refuge in Bolivia, and I'm really excited about that! We are currently planning to see Ecuador, Peru, Argentina (probably only Buenos Aires), Chile, Colombia and Venezuela. Will be awesome. Chile seems very much like New Zealand so we're only visiting San Pedro, a small town - the driest desert in the world apparently. So, lots of planning and saving ahead. Not looking forward to the saving part but It'll be worth it in the end.

Next year I'm off to uni, going to do a Bachelor of Commerce and major in Management Science and minor in Marketing I think. That's the plan at this stage anyway, and I'm rather excited ;)

What is your best memory of this summer?

Hrmmm, thats rather hard because I haven't had a lot of time off over the summer. I would say tramping in the Abel Tasman area. I loved it.

Do you have a least favorite memory about something that happened this summer?

Yes... it was feeling rather ill, but we won't delve into why ;)

What are you most looking forward to about the fall?

The trees changing and the colours in general. I really like autumn.

Is there anything you're not looking forward to?

The cold!

What is the changing of the season like where you live?

It's just so gradual, and it isn't a huge change to be honest. It's more like summer and winter and nothing really in-between - or at least that's how it feels like.

If you could make a magic wish for a futuristic gadget or high-tech innovation, what would your item do?

Tricky. Probably something stupid like a transporter so I can go from being in New York to Barcelona in .2 seconds :)

You're trapped in a (temporarily) out of order elevator - who would you like to be trapped with?

That's a hard one actually. For how long would I be trapped with them for? Hrmmm... well I have no interest in a Brad Pitt I would probably say Angelina Jolie. I'd like to pick her brain and I really admire her. Lame? I know.

You find yourself doing strange things such as looking for people with the same name as you...

There are: 9 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I've been pretty slack lately to be honest. I've ended up losing 8-10kgs and then I put on about 2kgs over the Xmas break. I've been at work for the last 2 weeks and somehow without really watching what I'm eating very well I've managed to lose 1kg just from exercising. I guess that's a good sign. So, I'm now 60kgs. I want to get to 55kg but I'm in no hurry. Nathan and I hit the gym next week, every second night and I'll have to coordinate that with my lunch time workouts, I don't want to burn myself out. I usually am going for a morning run, something intense in my lunch hour and then that's it. Now Nathan's shown interest in working out, and he can only go in the evenings, I'm going to have to ditch one of those and it will probably be the morning run which I love :( So maybe if I do yoga or pilates instead. We'll see. I'm not really a fitness freak, I promise ;)
