Lets get fit together

Walking in Mud boots

Well after all the rain we have had over the past week, I am lucking I am not having to walk in Mud Boots. It has been a struggle to get from the house to the front gate on a couple of occasions in the past week in my joggers, but that hasn't stopped me. I have managed to walk at least 45 minutes each day with a couple of 1 hour walks. I love getting dropped off at a certain point then having to walk home - there is not stopping until I get there, and with pending rain showers that has made me hurry along.

We have had a Kooraburra in the trees out the front of the house laterly and I am sure he laughs at me every day as I am walking up the hill to home - how dare he. I am looking forward to catching up with some good friends this weekend - they are coming for a retreat so maybe I might have a walking partner or 2. I can't wait to get back into the swimming pool - wish we had a heated indoor pool close by.

Inspired

I was so happy to hear that one of my retreat ladies last weekend has been following this blog and has taken up my little challenge on running between the guide posts. I am looking forward to hearing how it all goes T....

Another little challenge I set myself is sometimes when I am walking - if I can hear a car coming I start to jog and continue until the car has passed me and is out of site - ( I live on a country road - so sometimes not many cars go bye) - this morning I have been out for an hour walk/jog - getting in before the big rains come. It was a great morning for running - as lots of people were on there way to work.

Let me know if you have any little challenges you set yourself - we could all try them. Take care and lets get fit together.

Good week

Well the scales certainly show what a good week I have had -in a bad way that is - I have put on half a kilo - dear me. I forgot you can't eat lots of yummy food and drink far to much pink champagne without putting on weight. It was Sebastian's 21st over the weekend and even though I walked at least once everyday this past week I still put on weight, I will really have to watch myself this week. Despite that I really enjoyed having friends and family around to walk with me, Nicole, Josh and I walked a favourite bush track of mine on Monday morning. Until next week stay safe and keep moving.

Rain again

I know something as simple as rain shouldn't put you off exercise but hey it is so hard to get motivated when it is raining, and laterly it has been doing that quite a bit. Altought I have managed to go walking most days, I haven't been for a jog for a few weeks so Monday I decided to get back into it. Wow how you lose your fitness quickly, I could really feel the difference so I decided to walk between one set of guide posts on the road and then run to the next. I find this a great way to get back into it. If you haven't jogged for years try setting small goals like that, you will be surprised how quickly you can build it up. Hope your week has been a good one,

Clear Blue Sky

It was so nice to see the clear blue sky this morning while i was out for my hour walk - yesterday and the day before weren't very nice days for walking so I decided to jump on the exercise bike again - wow I really struggled to do the k's that I was previously cycling - I will have to make sure I jump on it more often. Winter can be a time when we decide it is just too cold out to be bothered going for that walk each day, but I must say I feel great after doing some type of exercise - don't let those cold chilly temperatures turn you off.

Change of scenery

Hopefully typepad lets me post today - I have been unable to post for the past couple of days.

Monday I visited my parents for my Mothers birthday - had a lovely day and was selfish and went for an hour walk along the lakeside over the bridge and then home - it was so lovely walking in a different setting - my parents live be the sea so a lovely change to my country home. I felt a real spring in my step walking and taking in the gorgeous scenery. I am sure you will agree it is a great place to spend a day.

Isn't it good to be alive

I had a great week, lots of ladies to retreats and classes, lots of time with family and friends. Also I nearly meet my challenge for the week and walked everyday except Sunday, but squeezed in an hour walk before heading out for lunch with friends to celebrate more birthdays yesterday. Sometimes I wish I lived closer to a big centre (I live nearly an hour from anywhere) so I could change my exercise pattern a bit but hey the scenery around here is amazing so there is always something different to look at whilst walking and it is a great time to think and plan my day. Until next week enjoy life and lets get fit together.

Thanks for popping over Kerry

Another Year older

Well yesterday I celebrated my Birthday - another year older and how good do I feel. I had a great day - no work - ate far to much yummy food, so this morning I went for a big walk for 1 hour, then did a few other semi physical things like gathering pine cones and loading up the ute with fire wood. I was very happy with the scales this week - down just over 1 kilo.

I am really going to try and get out of bed a little earlier each morning this week, even if it is freezing, so I can squeeze in a walk before my day starts as I have classes each day now for a week.

Until next week, lets get fit together

Freezing cold

Well winter is certainly here today, the wind was freezing, maybe it will blow in some snow - that would be fun. One of my true passions in life is playing in the snow, I like a kid. Anyway despite the cold I am still getting out there and walking, I managed to walk twice today which was nice - I really think I needed it after my weekend away at Mt Tenandra, with so much yummy food and of course a few glasses of pink. Oh how I long to dive back into the pool and swim a few laps - but that won't be happening for a fare while yet. Until next week, take care and ltes get fit together.

 It was nice sharing a couple of walks on the weekend with like minded souls

5 Months into my challenge

Yesterday was the first day of Winter and that means I am 5 months into my challenge to get fit. Wow I am so pleased with my efforts, I am loving the fact that I am making time every day to get out there and do something. I must admit that the past week I actually haven't jogged once but I have been really pushing myself walking which has been nice. How have you all been going - the comments have slowed over the past few weeks. Let me know what you have all been up to.

Lets continue to get fit together
