That feeling when you’re finally able to pull yourself up off the floor after a yoga sesh for lower back relief 🤣 • If I leave it too long between yoga my lower back starts to scream at me. Add in being super busy at work and my left hip today was all ‘ummm... that’s a no from me’. So it was on to the mat to sort it out, but because I had left it so long I struggled to get back up again. It was a tad awkward and probably hilarious to watch. It probably took me twice as long to get up than it did to do the yoga video. • I’m already starting to feel better and more relaxed. So hopefully tomorrow my hip will be more agreeable.
In the last day of 2019, I thought I’d share my top 9. Although these show some achievements, it doesn’t show all or necessarily my highlights. So I’ve added a few of my own ➡️ 1️⃣ I climbed Telegraph Hill to Coit tower in San Francisco. I didn’t think it was going to be that bad but once I started, it felt like the stairs just didn’t stop. But I persevered and got to the top. 2️⃣ I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ve wanted to do this for years, so to finally cross it off my bucket list is an achievement. 3️⃣ I got back on a bike and eventually bought my own. This is massive because back in 2016, I came off a bike and ruined my knee, vowing never to get back on one again. 4️⃣ Still with the bike theme - I rode up Mt Vic. Something I thought I would struggle with, but now I’ve done it twice. 5️⃣ I saw pandas at the Smithsonian Zoo in DC. 6️⃣ I saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Melbourne. 7️⃣ I saw Hamilton on Broadway. 8️⃣ I climbed Mt Eden on a trip to Auckland. It was easier than Telegraph Hill. 9️⃣ I started taking and posting outfit photos again and not giving a shit. I hope you all have a happy New Year and here’s to whatever 2020 brings.
Another day, another 39km bike ride with bae. I’m knackered. • There were a few incidents during our ride today, which tarnished the mammoth effort. I came very close to not riding home at all after a car did a u-turn in a T junction and didn’t see me - a classic “sorry mate, I didn’t see you”. I almost rode right into the driver’s side door. Thankfully I managed to pull off an emergency stop and avoided hitting him. But it could have ended very differently for me. I really urge all drivers to look twice and respect other road users - we all have the right to use the road. • Anyway. Harry Potter leggings and tee from @torrid. I’m nothing if not predictable in my clothing choices 😬
25km ride today! I’m knackered. Beautiful day for it and look at those pōhutukawas. A few days rest and a bit of pushing through, as well as several stops to catch my breath got me there. But tomorrow might have to be a rest day again. What have you done for Boxing Day?

Every flower must grow through dirt. I’ve been struggling with low energy and random pain lately. Nuromol has become my friend. Not sure if it’s something else or just end of year exhaustion. But yesterday I went for a short walk and today I washed the house. Both felt like incredibly hard work and then I napped. Hoping two weeks off is going to help things.
Cheeky mirror selfie. This week is tough. I’m physically showing up, but I’ve mentally checked out. I’m strugs to func at the most basic level right now and am in desperate need of a week of sleep. Hurry up Friday.
I was so hangry in this moment. We didn’t have time to grab coffee or food before heading to our tour of the Capitol. There was a delay on the metro, so we had to swap lines, then all advice said to get there 45mins to an hour before your scheduled time because of security. We breezed through security then had to wait for our tour to start. The Maccas breakfast afterwards was amazing. The moral of the story is that travelling isn’t always perfect. It’s meant to push you out of your comfort zone. I’m so ready to get out of my comfort zone again.
Sunday snugz.
