C25K

Bee coz I....woke up this morning with no cold it was time to get moving! Back on the C25K program. It was only 3oC outside when I ran and as this picture shows only 1 hr later it was 4.5oC - I should have waited! Every oC counts.

It was a great run, I decided to start at the beginning to ease into it but I think I might skip a few.

I had a very eggy day yesterday because I forgot I had scrambled eggs for lunch then had an omelette last night too - whoops guess it could have been worse.

I'm back in bed writing this post warming back up after my run, I had a cool-ish shower as its better for your muscles and stops the water stinging your legs when they are cold.

I'm looking forward to my walk with Jane tonight as it looks like no rain is forecasted - have a good day Bee x x

B: cereal
L:scrambled eggs with spring onion on wholemeal bread and a yoghurt.
D:omelette and fruit

Thunderbirds are go!

Bee coz I...did the big walk on saturday with heavy none flexible boots on, I ended up walking around looking like a thunderbird character for a few days.

I never made it to the hydro pool but made a point of walking a bit each day to move the pain on. I noticed this morning my legs feel a lot better today so I'm already planning doing the walk again but in my runners to see if I get a better time and less soreness.

Weight in occurred and I am down .5kg but as I fluctuate by 1kg up or down I consider that as the same until it becomes a whole kg loss :)

Billy goes on holiday to Tassie in a few days for 11 days, I will be making the most of not having to make dinner for him or be home to do drop off's or pick ups. Stay tuned for some serious exercising as I finally ramp things up after my forced reduction due to a promise with the Dr to only walk until I'm 100% chest and cold wise. I'm also going to cut out all snacks and treats for the 11 days to get the scales to move a bit.

Better go get ready for work - bee

B:weetabix and honey
L:beef toasted sandwich (wholemeal) yoghurt and some roller coasters.

Birdsland to Lysterfield Lake and Back

Bee coz I....woke up and saw that the rain had stopped, I decided to go on a walk from one favorite lake to another. I had mapped it out and figured it was about 19km round trip on the fire trail tracks (not a bad guess as it was 21.3km) I wanted to do it in about 4.5hrs as I was in my hike boots due to the mud. I did it in 4hrs and 25mins with no stops on the clock.

It was a good walk, there was lots of damage evident from the rain and winds we have had over the last few weeks. Every where you could see grass that had been flattened by run off. Had to paddle across a couple of big puddles but two days of no rain and it will be all gone.

I saw lots of roo's but no wallabys, in fact I was surprised I saw so many kangaroos on the Birdsland side of the walk.

My legs a feet are already sore as my old hike boots are very heavy and solid so I walk in a different way and can now feel parts of muscles that are very angry with me. Will need to invest in a new pair of bimble boots.

Today I will have to visit the hydro pool to say sorry to my feet and legs! And tomorrow is a date with the scales for a progress check. All my clothes feel the same so I'm not expecting much change one way or the other.

Bye for now - Bee

Shortest day

Bee coz I...live in Melbourne, not sunny Queensland the weather today was crap! windy, cold and wet. Today was the shortest day of the year so technically things get better from here.

It had better stop raining soon as I really need to mow out the front, I won't bother with the back as its bogged again so the grass growth slows down.

Look at the little lemon on the floor in my picture, that's off my lemonade tree, bloody wind, I can't blame Jorja for that one, and look at my real lemons they are doing really well. All the rain has been good for my kale too.

Well I'm off to bed night night peeps - bee

A nice surprise

Bee coz I...had to work back late, I was driving home imagining what on toast I would have for my tea. I very rarely eat after 7.30pm so I was hoping to get something down my throat by then.

I had settled in my head for beans on toast but as I walked in the house I could smell something delish, billy (18yrs old) was cooking his own tea and decided to make some for me too!

It was delish, pork chop and veggies! Thanks Billy - I let him off the dishes to reward his positive behavior :)

Off to bed for an early night as today was crazy, it almost felt full moon crazy, must have been the after effects of the earth quake!

Nighty night - bee

B: crackers and dip (staff meeting)
L:avocado on crackers, yoghurt and a bowl of veggies

Earthquake in Melbourne

Bee coz I...Just feel like telling you all...we just had an earthquake in Melbourne, walls shook, windows rattled and my bed even got in on the act. It all went on for 30seconds or so and I just lay in bed.

Mental note: find out what you are supposed to do in a quake!

I'm off to sleep now as I'm tired from all the excitement - nighty night Bee

Broccoli and other green things

Bee coz I...was becoming disillusioned with the lack of action with my broccoli that I planted, I was very excited when my dad pointed out that things were starting to happen, there are a few like this now in my crop and I expect to be munching on the green stuff soon.

In other green news, I have planted Cale and an assortment of lettuce can't wait to start eating home grown goodies.

My carrots, parsnips, parsley and lemons are doing ace too!

Non green news :Mum and dad left to go home :( and I went to a punk party last night :)

Well have a good day - sorry about the boring post - Bee
