Weigh In and Walk

Two kinds of Honey Eaters

In our area.

Oh, I was a bit disappointed with this morning's weigh-in initially as I thought I'd gained again...I am carrying a fair bit of fluid right now...but in fact...When I went to record it in my book, I discovered that indeed,...I HAVE LOST...YAAY...

I now weigh 95.2kgs. a 500 gram loss.

I am pleased with that little effort. I seem to be losing inches as well.

My Walk

I had a great walk this morning...went the usual route three times as I'm doing it in a faster time now and I want to stay out there for no less than an hour every time.
I take my iPod with me and I can tell you all that it has been the best motivator I could have bought. When I'm feeling lethargic it gets me going and I'm soon stepping out, if I start slowing down, thinking I'll head home, I change the song to an upbeat one and I'm off again and liking it.


It has come to the stage where I am walking quite fast and Monday and today, (went later yesterday so, a different route was taken to avoid traffic...yep, tend to chase cars lol), I found myself doing a slow jog to keep up with the beat, quite suprising myself and it was coming naturally without me even realising I was doing it 'til I felt my knees stressing a little. I slowed down but had a great big grin inside and out. I continued on with fast and slow spurts.



When I reached the end of the jetty...I always walk the jetty towards the tail-end of my walk because that's where the air is freshest and clears my sinuses further...I spent some time there doing aerobic type exercises...dancing to the music... for quite a while to the beat of Lee Kernaghan's 'Texas Qld 4385'... It's got a great beat for aerobics.
I was being so physical I almost ended up in the drink...As with all jetties, ours has a rail only on the one side...I had a little trip and came so close to the other side in my machinations that I was only just able to save myself from toppling over the edge...Next time I think I'll keep my eyes open...


To explain that further...I often stand facing into the wind with my arms stretched out at my sides and my eyes shut...I can 'fly' all over Oz...I just did it automatically as I was bouncing around and almost lost my balance...find myself doing it on my walks too when the wind hits me as I top a hill...Yep completely out of my tree...


I wanted to keep going but I was wet through...inside my clothes from sweat and outside from the sea mist...also I'd run into traffic if I didn't head off back home, undoing all the head clearing. I felt so alive when I reached home...My energiser batteries were still powering me...bouncin' off the walls, I was so hyped up...I'd been out for 1 hour and 40 mins...well done beverlyann...


Storm has reached us, need to get off the computer...




Everyone have a nice day...toy
