Aus.

Turns out being on holiday is awesome.

Spent five days in Melbourne with my wicked as big brother and his wicked as lady. These five days were rad. Also, at no other time in my life have I eaten so consistently well for so many days.

If you go to Melbourne, vegetarian or not, hit up Vegie Bar. TASTY.

While there I even managed a couple of outings completely crutchesless! I paid for it the next day, but it was worth it. Walking with crutches is hard work and leaves me without free hands, and I'm getting to the point where my hip is strong enough to do some more work for itself. So our wee trip to Victoria Market (preceded by a potato, haloumi, tomato, spinach and egg breakfast stack), though a bit painful on my other hip, was quite great.

Not going to lie, being on holiday means exercises (despite my good intentions) have rather gone by the by. Have done them once. Oops. I WILL get better.

Now in Sydney with the sister, her husband and their new baby. Being an Aunty is obviously keeping me very busy, but I need to get better! Planning to hit up the local pool in the next couple of days.

Well, I've reached it. Twelve weeks. And that means I can fly!

So, I'm currently in Melbourne, where I am staying with my brother for five days. On Tuesday I head to Sydney to see the sister, and there I will stay for two weeks.

Plan is to continue the exercise regime as normal so I don't miss out on anything I would be doing at home, so hopefully by the time I get back to Christchurch I will be much stronger.

Will check in here and let people know how things are going as I get the chance.
