Frosty weather

Bee coz I...am still in bed safely under the covers I can't bring myself to go out in the cold for a walk! Lucky I have Zumba tonight so I can justify staying put.

I was flicking through my photos trying to find one for my post, something became apparent - I need a hair cut! It will have to wait a few days as I'm off to Tassie at the end of the week for some time out.

Things have been very busy on all fronts and I worked out that I was not home - other than to sleep for about 10 days, no wonder I'm tired lol Tassie always charges my batteries. Might even get to see some snow!

Well I have nothing else to report other than I'm addicted to a new TV show called The Time Of Our Lives on ABC!

The Lake

Bee coz I....have been sick again - silly lungs, I have been taking it easy, I've maintained but not lost so looks like my 1st July goal will be missed, or rather postponed to the 1st August.

I still can't do a full on Zumba but at least I still keep turning up.

The Lake has been my best friend, I have been doing it on the weekends, yesterday I did it twice, once in daylight the other by moonlight. I've never done the lake in the dark, it was beautiful.

I slept like a log when I got home.

Have a good day, Bee

1st of July?

Bee coz I...have had another bout of lung and chest ill health I have been unable to do much on the exercise front. I have done a few walks and after almost 3 weeks off I have just gone back to Zumba. I'm not back to 100% that will take a couple of weeks but I'm back at exercise.

This time I stopped and looked after myself so it won't drag out over 6 months like last time. I kept warm, dry and gave in and took the nasty drugs!

The down side is that I put on 2kg in 3 weeks after maintaining for so long! The upside is I know what to do about it - pull in the belt, knuckle down and set a new goal!

I'm now back at 7kg to get to the 40kg loss goal which the closest I've been to was 3kg to go(I think?) so my short term goal is 2kg by 1 June 13 and then 7kg by my trip to the UK!

This tiger (or pink striped Zebra) is back!

Count down is on!

Bee coz I...have only hours to go now until my fun power walk! I have been resting up today, although I did lots of incidental walking. My lungs are still not 100% but the snot factory has reduced production so that's a win! I have some ace plasters for my blister so I'm set to go!

I'm going to bed early too as I have to be at the train station for 6.45am, billy cooked me dinner too so that was a bonus!

Well I had better go iron my Tshirt and attach my race tag (GPS tracker) to my walking shoes - I just have to decide if I'm walking in my walking shoes or runners! Still can't make my mind up!

5 days to go!

Bee coz I...only have 5 days until my big power walk, my body has clearly decided that it likes to be sick for the run/walk for the kids events!

At least it's only a head cold at this stage. I went back on my chest meds a few days ago and touch wood congestion on my chest clears up with out turning into something nasty.

This time last year I was on crazy meds as i had pneumonia so I'm not complaining!

New job is going well I can tell I'm going to love it!

I have our group training today so not sure how I will go and I have to make sure I will recover in time for my walk lol

Well must go, have a good day Bee x x

12 days to go!

Bee coz I...after 12 1/2 years in the youth team secured a new position at work in the community development team I have been busier than busy finishing up my position. I start my new job today!

I'm not sure where the days are going but I do know its only 12 days to my big fun walk, how did that happen?

It's been hard training as the heat has been relentless, my goal of doing 15km each weekend has been compromised, I have been doing 3 X 5km walks as the heat has been above 36oC all weekend, in fact all week! We are melting!

I'm doing another fun walk the weekend after too, it's a fundraiser for the area I did the walk last post. So it's a 2hr drive to get there but it will be worth it.

Well must go as I have to look smart at work now, yikes I may have to spend more than 5mins a day on my beauty routine.

Ta ta for now Bee x x

25 Days to go!

Bee coz I....go red (artistic license used on photo) when I exercise I often look burnt, it takes about 40mins to go fully back to normal.

Sometimes I also look silly when I exercise, like the hat I made with my running top on sunday to keep me cool! I left the arms down to swat the flies and the knot at the front doubled as a peek! I know I'm a genius (hmm maybe not it took a while for me to remember how to spell that)

Today I felt I looked silly doing burpies (spell check wanted to change that to but pies) in the gym, we were flogged at a work personal training session. It was harrowing!

My legs held up but my arms were like jelly, I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't open the change room door, then in the shower I thought "there should be a disabled shower seat in here" and then when I couldn't eat my lunch for an hour as I knew I would spew!

Sure - I'll be back next week for more!
