Still going strong
I am loving Auckland more and more each day. Kiwis are so friendly, and I already feel at home. Our flat is pretty small, so I prefer to be out with my girls for most of the day. Even though I’m in a completely new environment, I’m managing to keep my work out schedule…although last night, I went a little nuts with some ice cream and Indian takeout. I did a boxing circuit class today to compensate. There was no air conditioning, so we were all pretty sweaty. I can’t imagine what it must have smelled like when the door was opened in the middle of class. LOL. Yes, indeedy, I could smell all the curry from the night before pouring out with all my sweat. How lovely.
Even though there’s public transport here, I mostly rely on my legs to get around. I do so much walking, in fact, that I don’t even need any cardio. I finally bought a scale and haven’t even put on so much as a kilo. Considering I’m trying to put on muscle, I’m not so sure that’s a good thing…although I feel and look more muscular. I’m going to continue mass building, probably until November.
Grocery shopping here can be pretty expensive, but the Asian grocery stores are reasonably priced. I actually spend less on groceries here than in the states.
Auckland has made me feel like a child again. I’ve joined a barbershop chorus and have even decided to return to college. So far, it’s a toss up between Speech Language Therapy in Massey University and Early Childhood Education in New Zealand Tertiary College. Hopefully I’ll figure things out soon because I’ll need to apply for a student visa so my girls can also go to school.
