So when I rolled out of bed at 9 instead of 7 like I wanted to, I should have known it wasn't going to be a good day.  But I did bike to work, which is a 30 min ride, so I thought, maybe, just maybe this would be a good day.  I got about 5 minutes into the ride when I realized that I had a flat back tire.  It was brutal riding with it lol.  Then I just went along with my business working away and there was a reservation that I hadn't realized was in the book today.  I, idiotically, had looked at Wednesday's reservations, NOT Thursday.. dur durrrr. Anyways, the owners of my restaurant dont want us turning the air cons on unless there is people in the restaurant, so usually if there isn't any resos we don't put it on.  Which is really annoying because when people do want to come in and feel how hot it is they just go outside and it completely defeats the process. ANYWHO.  This reservation they came in and they had looked at the menu online.  Our drop down menu goes as follows; breakfast, lunch, entree, mains.. aka breaky, lunch, dinner entrees, dinner mains.  This inconsiderate prick got so upset that he has looked at the mains and NOT the lunch menu, like sorry it doesn't say DINNER MAINS but hellllllo, does it not make sense to look at the lunch menu if you're going to come at lunch? idk. maybe I'm just thinking outtt of this world, right?  Well, they decide to leave. so whatever.  After that my favourite customer came in and she could tell that our sous chef wasn't our head chef because basically.. what she puts out for food compared to Rod is complete shit.  It's embarrassing really.  So that wasn't awesome either.  And then as I was closing this customer that left after the dinner menu wasn't available to them calls in and asks "can I speak to a manager, if that's even a position in this restaurant."  I explained to him that our manager was at a meeting but I could try and help out with anything that he needed, if he'd like.  He goes ahead and reeeeeems me out. like something terrible.  It was seriously awful and he was so fucking rude. ugh, if I type it all out this post will just be a million miles longer than it already is but let me tell you HOW COME WAITRESS DONT HAVE A PLACE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS? like why can't that be a thing?? really.  Restaurants have all these sites that we have to cop all these complaints and we have to deal with the phone calls and embarrassing confrontations .. and yes, maybe some of them are valid.  But how many of them aren't? probably about 95% of them. hmph whatever. I biked home and then none of my friends were going to circuit so I said fuck it.  I really need an outlet.  I biked to circuit and had a great night so now I'm mostly happy.  allllllright I am out for the night.  Tomorrow is valentine's day and I'm working a split, wooooo hoooo.  Well honestly, Corey's working away so it really doesn't matter if I'm working or not.  Somewhat happy because I'd be a sad little girl sitting at home.  

So yesterday after deciding I was going to do this 1/2 I went to circuit class.  It truly is a great class and a good way to mix up my workouts because they can get stale.  I do my classes with 5 Star Fitness Circuit Classes Townsville.  Lyndsey Goriss is the PT and creator and I have to say I am truly jealous of how fit she is.  Seriously, major girl crush.  If I could I would just put my head on her body and then I'd be happy for the rest of my life.  Anyways, that was a great class and then this morning I woke up and was obviously slack and woke up at 9:30 instead of the 7:30 I wanted to and tried to run in that.  I did 1 km and I think I had a little bit of heat exhaustion.  I'll save you the gory details, but I thought I was dying a slow painful death, lol.  And tonight I was going to do another circuit class, but unfortunately with me not being able to drive and all my circuit friends bailing and circuit being out in North Shore I could not make it there.  I think next time I'll post something on the facebook page because I seriously had no excuse not to go and only 1 km of run isn't good enough if I'm going to actually achieve this goal.  Tomorrow I plan on going for a run AT 7 AM! And then I'll bike to work since I start at 11:30 anyways.  So that'll be sweet. Anywho, feel free to give me some kind of motivation, 'cause it'd be more than appreciated.

So I've officially decided to start training for a 1/2 marathon in Brisbane on the 2nd of August 2014.  I've been a flake on and off with looking at this tumblr page.  My one pathetic entry on having moved here hahah, my bad.  And, now I've decided that I will be using this as a motivator/journal for my marathon training progress.  If you wanna see more about the marathon I've decided to run here's a link to the Brisbane marathon site http://www.brisbanemarathon.com/.  I have 8 weeks to get my prepared to start my marathon training so I have decided to first follow the couch to 10 km run training schedule and from there I will be doing a 16 week training schedule to get ready to do a 1/2 marathon.  I'm excited and hopeful to complete this.  I believe it will help with the motivation I need to further my fitness level and healthy habits.  It seems to me my life has been full of half finished ideas and I do not want this to be one of them.  With running this marathon it gives me a challenge to become fitter and healthier and gives me a final goal to keep me focused. This final focus is what will really give me that push when I get lazy and forgetful which, unfortunately, I so often do when it comes to... well pretty much any good idea I have in my life.  Ah well, I am done with the excuses and I'm beginning now.  I will also be posting some before/after pictures and how my weight is going.  If I seem to find some yummy and healthy recipes that I like I will even post that too!  Just to keep everyone entertained while I'm on my journey to this 1/2 marathon!  Wish me luck!

So I have been in Australia for a while now, 79 days to be exact and I've decided to start blogging about my life here. I'll get around to it every couple days hopefully.. but I suppose my first blog will be a little summary of everything that has happened up until now.

          My first month here was crazy.  I got a job within the first 3 weeks of being here, while everyone in Townsville, QLD (which is where I am in Australia) says it's so difficult to get a job.. people really aren't trying that hard apparently.  Anyways, I got a job at Odyssey on The Strand my view is incredibly gorgeous of the water, palm trees and maggie island.  At first I loved the job, the people and my boss.  Now just like any job you come to know you boss' ways, the lazy, but the boss' oh-so-favourite, waitress of us all and realizing your supervisor is a crazy, discriminatory bitch with low self-confidence who makes sure you feel shittier than she does by pointing out everything each of us do wrong and blowing it way out of proportion.  So to say, it's not awful... but it's really not as loved as it was before.  

         The reason I have came here, Corey, my Aussie bf since day 1 (... and when I mean day one, when I met him I thought it was going no where because I lived in Canada and he was only vacationing here.. so I obviously joked around and titled him that) is absolutely lovely.  I mean he obviously is a guy and gets frustrating and annoying, but I love him and I couldn't be more happy with him.  He's brilliant and his family absolutely adores me.  I feel so included and it's great.  His sister Jamie has two daughters, Charli and Harlow, and they are amazing!  Charli loves me more than Corey 

this is Charli.. and here's Harlow and I playing (this is the night she started crawling at mine and Corey's house:

.. for some reason it won't let me upload and I am now getting lazy, I will finish the post later 

Is it not what everyone is constantly thinking about?
