The Little Jogger

  By an exercise-loving Registered Dietitian

Expats in Adelaide

The "circuit" workout was a success this morning. You'd be surprised to know how difficult it is to do one exercise without stopping for 90 seconds. My arms felt like jelly by the end, and I was pleased. I'm not a morning person at all, but it's a great feeling of accomplishment to finish a full-body workout before 7 am.

The reason that I did my workout in the morning was because I  had an engagement after work. I found out about an expat (or do you say ex-pat?) dinner/drinks meet up through an "Americans in Australia" Facebook group. I thought this was the first time that all of these people were getting together, but they've been doing it for ages. I'm surprised that I'm just finding out about this, because I would have loved to meet with these people when I first moved here!

There were two expat groups at the Griffin's Head Hotel tonight:  A Canadian group and a "general" group. I think they merge together for meet ups, anyway.

I didn't take any pictures (I get a little shy about taking photos of my food and decor sometimes, especially when I don't know anybody), but I had a great time. I talked to people from America (the organizer of the group is from Chicago!), England, Canada, Australia and Germany. Everybody was super friendly to me and eager to hear about where I was from, my life in Adelaide, etc. 

The group (or both groups, I guess) try to organize something at least once a month, and I think I will start going as much as I can. I find it very refreshing to talk to people who share similar experiences. 

Hopefully I'll be back in picture mode tomorrow!

Just came upon this while doing a web search - it was good to meet you back then too, although can't believe that was over a year ago! Hope you are well:) Suzer

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
