Sadly, my week away went all too quickly and, as we didn’t win the lottery, it’s work again for me this morning. I’m finding it hard to get back into a routine but I’m sure I’ll crack it by the end of this week though. At least I think I’ve more or less got the washing sorted now! Continue reading
One of the things that kept me going through all those long Moonwalk miles was the thought of my post Moonwalk holiday. So now I’m sitting on a warm beach in Agadir. It’s not actually sunny because its ten to nine at night but it’s all floodlit so it’s like daytime but without the burning sun. Continue reading
This morning I took a stroll down along the river to visit my friend Sammie. It was a lovely sunny day and it was really uplifting to walk along with some happy music on my iPod. Even better to know I didn’t have any distances or times to worry about and I could just stroll along as far and as fast as I wanted. There were hardly any people around and the swans were ambling about aimlessly and basking in the sun. Continue reading
No, not me, I may be a complete nutter but not that mad yet. Commando has just told me he has dowloaded the C25k app. He has been inspired by the Moonwalk girls and wanted to start running so he can take part in a race. He was talking about it on our journey home on Sunday and I told him about the C25K and about Ali and Jenny from WLR doing it. Continue reading
So the Moonwalk day has finally arrived. We made it to London and checked into the Travel Inn at Putney. This was when I realised I’d forgotten my socks for heavens sake! Luckily, as we were driving to the hotel I’d seen an M&S and a sports shop close by so we went for a stroll and I now have socks. They’re padded underneath which may prove to be a godsend. We had a quick coffee and seed bar in Pret and I’m now going to try to have a snooze while Commando watches the FA cup final. Can’t wait to meet everyone later… Continue reading
As of 8pm tonight I am on holiday from work for two whole weeks. No more phone calls, no more swearing 98 year old women (who knew they knew that kind of language), no more targets, no more getting up early and fitting in my exercise. Missing my team already and getting nervous about the Moonwalk but first day of the holidays is a lovely feeling. I wonder if I will remember how to do anything by the time I get back? Continue reading
Commando very kindly emailed me an old photo that he found today on a dongle thing. I have to say it made me cringe. We are not exactly sure when it was taken but I think it was back before my hysterectomy around about when I was at my biggest (at least I hope that was my biggest). Continue reading
It’s been a busy old week, what with anniversaries, birthdays, twenty seven mile walks and a meal out with the girls from work to celebrate my birthday. TGI Fridays is hardly the place to eat when you are watching your weight but still… Continue reading
Today I will be mostly feeling proud of myself. One of the hardest lessons to learn in this weigh loss journey os how to conquer emotional eating. Last night gave me ample opportunity to practice as everything in my house went pear shaped and I was sitting in the middle of it all feeling fragile to say the least. Continue reading
The day after my wedding anniversary is my Birthday. At least it means neither of us forget. Obviously, two celebration days so close together isn’t good news for weight loss but still… Continue reading
