Health kick no..... I've lost count.

Today, Tuesday, is the fourth day of eating slightly healthier than I ever have. I've been prepaing salads to eat everyday and cutting right back on my sugar intake. I've cheated a little with this by putting sweetener in my cereal instead of sugar, but I also don't eat all the milk I have on my cereal. Although it is a waste, I tip out the excess milk rather than eat it as I used to. Another change is that I haven't had soft drink since friday night and even then it was coke zero when took a swig of it out of the bottle. I've cut back on fruit juice to 1 or 2 per day, with meals. Other than that, I've been drinking lots of water, refilling the bottle constantly. I've been feeling great. I have Alot more energy and I've been feeling slightly more positive about myself and life in general. It is a matter of remaining disciplined enough to stick it out in the long term and not slip back in to old habits. The next thing I need to change is the amount of exercise, I do, which presently is next to none.

A new Karaoke Venue.

Last night, on the spur of the moment, Hubby and I, with a friend decided to check out a karaoke venue, we haven't been to. So we traveled to Coomera, near Dreamworld to the Boathouse Tavern. We walked in, straight throught to the restaurant to order food - we were ravenous. Their prices were slightly more than average for a plate of carbonara and Satay chicken noodles, but boy were they nice meals, which we ate in the Karaoke area, while waiting for the show to start. 

I got to sing my first song, soon after I finished my meal and was.... satisfied with the experience. Having sang with the best karaoke outfit in Brisbane, I am rather spoilt but I am no stranger to a crisp clean sound, which leads to a good singing experience. These guys at Coomera were good, but needed a little tweaking to put them in the same league. I could barely hear myself, because my foldback was not turned up enough, so I kept thinking I was being drowned out by the music. So I screamed to be heard. 

I have to say in their favour though, that front of house sound was almost there. The karaoke people were friendly enough, too so all in all it was a place I'd do again. 

It was while I was waiting for my third song that I relaxed and looked around at the decor of the pub. The bar was modeled off the cockpit of a large charter boat, and the side panel of another boat was what line one of the walls. Then I looked up and noticed the fiberglass, swordfish and was impressed. 

The Pokie area was only an improvement on this room, but I was begiining to wonder if I was really in a pub or Underwater World. I'm drawn to water, so this place was perfect for me. If only I had enough pokie change to play, so I could spend more time in that room.
