At the risk of sounding repetitive, this week was pretty much the 'same old, same old' from when we were in Cairns for the four weeks before our week at home last week.

Dad's course is going well here in Cairns.  He only has two students on this part of the course, so he thought it would be a short day every day (less students equals less questions), but there is so much info to cover during the course that his days have been between 7 and 8 hours long.  The guys had an exam on Friday and both passed, so that was a relief!

I continued on with my gym routine (Body Balance and Aquafit) and started with some weight work this week.  There are a couple of ladies I have made friends with here who also go to the gym six days a week.  One of them has encouraged me to try a 'Body Pump' class this coming Wednesday which works with weights, so I'm going to give it a go.  I don't have a scale here and it's annoying as I don't know how much weight I'm losing.  But, I'm still determined to keep going and, hopefully when we get home from Cairns, I will see the fruits of my labours on the scale.
