POETS Day

I do like Poets day. Surely you understand my reference, if not go here you un-australian joker http://www.poetsday.com/. Obviously it doesn't mean quite as much since I'm not working a Monday to Friday gig at the moment, but it's still a great day.

The extra good news is I've survived another Friday Golf Club session. Only a couple of beers and no fat filled dinner aftermath. I even went a bit further today and switched from the traditional Carlton Draught schooners to the low-carb option, Pure Blonde. While I don't know if it make any difference, I'm certain it can't be a negative move.

Ok, I just consulted some websites. The jury is in and the verdict is "better" but not by a long way. The reality is the beer has only one third of the carbs of my normal beer but it still contains 75% of the calories of a Carlton Draught, so I won't beat myself up over my beer choices.

I'm back on the exercise train today, my muscle strains seem to be on the improve and I think I'll take notice of the early niggles sooner to avoid the painful aftermath. I pick up a second hand bike tomorrow from a mate who owns a bike shop. He reckons it's pretty good and hell, it's only costing me a few beers so here's hoping it's ok. It wouldn't take much to be better than the crappy thing I've been riding this week anyway.

Basketball sign on is on the agenda in the morning and again I've stepped up to coach for another season. It's U16 girls this season and I'm hoping with some substantial weight loss and improved fitness I can get a bit more involved with the girls at training. As much as my busted knee will allow anyway.

After B'ball it'll be off to the Gold Coast for the weekend. Naomi and I will catch up with friends and I will cover the A League match at Skilled Park for the Sunday Mail again. A nice Sunday on the Goldy will be just the ticket to reward me for a week of hard work modifying my terrible lifestyle.

OK for those of you that desperately wait for each Saturday's weigh in result I promise to do a short post tomorrow morning before basketball.

Here's hoping for a positive result.
