I did a walk!!!! Whoo-hoo!!

Hello!!

Sorry I've not been on for ages, well about a week, but feels like ages! I did go out for a walk last Tuesday, 3 miles in my lunch break and it took me a smidgen under 43 mins which I was really pleased with considering I haven't done any proper power walking since the last Moonwalk! I guess those dancing lessons are playing off!! Things to remember for my next walk:
Music!! (can't believe I forgot it!)
Warmer pants (very cold bottom!)
Steer clear of leafy pavements (very slippery!)
Hat! (to keep my ears warm!)

Bit of a nightmare on the Wednesday (the day after) though as I was struck down with what can only be described as 'bird-flu'!! Not the deadly disease but the lady version of 'man-flu'!!! Except I was really ill and not just trying to get sympathy for a cold!! lol!! Have been bed ridden and everything!... but back to work now and feeling much better! Still got a bit of a nasty cough so gonna get out walking again by the end of the week hopefully!!

Going offline now to go and do 50 sit ups - determined to get a flat tummy - and do my ironing - Whoops of joy!!!! (NOT!)

Speak soon!

Well, still not done any walking, how rubbish am I?!

Ok... right... tomorrow... definitely... I AM GOING OUT FOR  WALK, for once I've got nothing to do tomorrow other than a short 2 mile walk to get me started! Sunday was when I promised myself last time but then Hayden has the most horrendous cough so I decided to take him out for a treat to take his mind off it and we went bowling at Lakeside, t'was fab! But then got back at 12.30pm, thinking I could go out and got struck down with tummy cramps, arggghhhhh!! Today, I needed to go into town to check my bank balance (Yes, I know it's only the 3rd but I like to keep an eye on it, make sure I'm not overspending already before pay day in 22 days!!) but then I did do about 2 miles but just not at power walking pace BUT... I have done 50 sit ups tonight which I'm especially proud of... now my washing machine is beeping so I better go and hang all that up!!

Speak to you tomorrow, hopefully to tell all about my first power walk since my last, which to be fair was huge, 26.2 miles in May 2008!!! LOL!!!! I think I can safely say now I should get my butt into gear and get those walking shoes back on!!!

Raining AND a stinky cold - not good!

Hi,

Not feeling good today, have been bunged up now for a couple of days but I am feeling a bit more energetic today! It was absolutely freezing last night but still went out trick or treating, Hayden loved it but now we have an abundance of sweets in the house which I'm finding very hard to resist!!!

My Mum and Dad are coming round today for a cuppa which will be lovely and I need to go to Tesco as Hayden's back to school tomorrow and he needs lunch box stuff. I don't want too as it's chucking it down with rain though, might drive even though it's only a 10 minute walk!

Better dash, just had a nice hot bath so feeling a bit better and need to get dressed before Mum and Dad get here!!

Speak soon, hopefully to tell of my first proper training walk!!!

Still planning to do a decent walk tomorrow before Lee leaves for his Disco hoping to fit in at least 4 miles! (We'll see!)
