1. I have started a blog, mostly focused on my observations of what its like to live in Australia, for my friends. I have trouble keeping up with with everything online. I would rather be out living my life than sitting in front of my computer…so if you happen to miss me here on tumblr, feel free to see what I’m up to at www.laurasaurusrex.com. xo

  2. I found this photo of me and one of my best friends, taken a few days before I left North America. We had a pizza and beer slumber party. He looks sad and I’m about to say something. I miss him. I miss all of my people.

  3. I wanted to share a current photo of my body, but apparently I failed to take a good one. It’s blurry, and I look less defined and more “hippy” than (I think) I actually am. Oh well… whatever.

  5. I’m living in Perth. Too bad we’re not closer together. I would have loved to meet up.

  6. I can already tell that I’m going to love Australia based on the fact that I can run outside year round.

    I suppose I could have before, but I’m too much of a wuss to run in snow (except for the few races I preregistered for without thinking about how cold it would be when race day came around). Frozen ears and noses are the worst.

    Today I went for a 10km bike ride and then went jogging in the park. I love that it’s Spring here. Summer is coming. I foresee many beach days in my future.

  7. I’m back!

    I got caught up in real life and haven’t been online much in the past weeks. I have moved to Australia and am still recovering from 33 hours of sitting in airplanes/airports.

    Even though I’ve been busy, I am still exercising. I did an Insanity workout AND went for a 7.7km run on the beach today. It’s gorgeous here!!

    I found a part time job as a support worker for special needs children. I love it, but I have a super low income. I just have to go through some red tape to be qualified to make more money. Paper work (and running around the city to get it all done) is not fun.

    That’s my mini update. I’m tired. I’ll try to post more often.

  8. Did I mention that I’m moving to Australia? I decided that it’s time for a change, and booked my ticket almost a week ago.

    I’ve been too preoccupied to post. I suck. I have not been eating only healthy foods, but I have been doing my Insanity workouts every single day. I just need sugar in my life right now.

  9. Day 7 of Healthy August

    I don’t remember what I ate yesterday. I was too busy. It wasn’t all healthy, and I took the day off from exercise, but that’s kind of what Sundays are for, right?

    Also, I’m done with keeping track of everything I eat and every time I exercise. It’s driving me crazy.
