AN FBG WALK TO START THE DAY

 

This morning I am off to Cambridge for an FBG walk.  Only the 2nd or third this year!

I have promised myself I'll do the entire Challenge next year, which means 40 walks spread over 6 or so months.

This year I've had too much on to even contemplate doing it.  But, I'll get another one under my belt before the Challenge is over for this year.

ABOVE: I got several new pairs of earrings for my birthday. Archer chose these ones, they have sand and tiny shells inside them.  He knows his Grandma well eh? 😉😊

I am sure I forgot to report my Weigh In results from last night.

I LOST 2 KILOS over the last three weeks, and after going on holiday as well.  I am very pleased with that result.  My total loss (this time around) is 10.4 kilos, in eight weeks.  I am totally on track to reach my goal by Christmas, which was to lose 15 kilos. 

NOW I have to work hard to not have a gain next week, after all the shit I ate last night!  Exercise and portion control should keep me from a gain.  (fingers crossed)

And with that in mind, I'm off to get started on my day, and get over to Cambridge for that walk.

I almost cancelled my walk this morning!  I woke up, got up and threw up!

Last night's dinner did NOT agree with my tummy at all.  I tossed and turned all night long.  Grrrr.

But, I'm happy to say it's now 8.20 am, and I'm feeling good enough to go.

I've done the housework and even weeded a garden.

ABOVE: I did quite a big 'tweak' in the lounge yesterday.

I don't know if Stew noticed or not, but can you?

I'll leave you with that to ponder, I'm now off to Cambridge.

12 noon.  Home from an awesome walk with my FBG friends.

I wore my very old walking sneakers.

ABOVE:  About 2/3rds of the way around the walk... I started getting a blister under one of me toes.  NOT fun.  Those sneakers got biffed in the bin at the coffee shop!

So now I'll need to get some new ones.  What a shame... more shopping! 😂

ABOVE: The walk photo, such fun getting to do this again.  I giggle every time I choose what face is going on each person.  I try to 'match' them up... some of them really suit the person.

ABOVE:  Today's walk stats.  I'm relieved it wasn't any longer as it was getting bloody hot, and my toe was starting to really hurt.  And I'm NOT very fit right now.  

I hope to get in the pool more now that it's not so cold at night... getting out of the pool and walking home in the cold was a bit off putting.

Now, before I bugger off and have some lunch, what did I tweak yesterday?

THE RUG in the lounge.  I turned it around so it's running length ways in the room instead of width ways.  I actually think, now that we've had it the other way for a while, I prefer it length ways.

Do you agree?  Or no?

It's funny how, for the past two months, I've known the rug wasn't in the 'right' position.  My gut kept telling me to turn it around.  I'm glad I listened.  I'm much happier with it now.

7.15 pm.  We just attended our first 'Roast Dinner' here at the village.  Our meal was complimentary, all 'newbies' get a free meal when they arrive.

It was Roast Beef, veges and gravy. Followed by Apple and Blueberry crumble with cream.

It was OK.  

We got to yak with the other 6 people at our table, so that was good.  Found out a bit more about the village and it's activities.

Slowly making head 'n' tail out of it.

Now, we are home.  Feet are up.  Painkillers are on board cos my BSA is killing me.

I've worked out that sitting in upright chairs is a killer for me!  I need to be more relaxed to be comfortable.

Note to self... stay off upright chairs. 😖😏

And that's me for the day.  Catch ya tomorrow.
