Fitness update.... less car more walking! We had an awesome 4 days out of my 7 in Melbourne this week - booked into a place with a gym and pool to ensure I kept up my routine... hmmm went down on the first day and found a lap pool with vertical steps... fear struck - what if I cant get out! (reliving trying to re-board a boat with vertical steps after snorkling in Vanuatu - not pretty) ... so new plan needed... Walking it was - and did we do some walking! I believe we walked for AT LEAST 3-4 hours each day... but I will claim it as 2hrs sat sun mon. heavy lifting - (shopping bags lol) but what i have been doing has certainly been paying off.. Each year Jack, myself and our 4 beautiful daughters meet in melbourne to farewell one or two of them off to london. Last year there was no way I could walk to town - walk around the shops and walk back - got a cab each way and struggled with getting around the shops... this year - walked for miles, and then walked home - up hill talking on the phone! Second big feat - I stayed on my eating plan - even in the city of all things delicious! I had no desire to enjoy any of the normal gastronomical delights I normally do - stayed clean - no sugar, low carbs lots of salad and vegies fish etc. one very delightful asian meal... but that was as outside the lines as i went. Charmaine was blown away - as she hadnt seen me since i started this fitness fest and she asked Juanita where was her mother... and when were the aliens going to bring back her real one :) happy happy happy! So... end result... 6 hours walking (ha and the rest!!) another 2 hrs pool with 200 mbt and 200 stepups. Today is the beginning of next week!! already have an hour pool and 100 mtb and 100 stepups clocked up - now off to get ready for the next challenge - off to the Variety Old Bags Lunch and no Colin Shurey I am not an old bag! Think Money is the major sponsor of the event this year - you take an old bag and donate it to charity so you can buy one or more of the new bags that are displayed at the charity auction... looking forward to a great day! Variety is such a great charity to support....but lets see how it fits into the eating plan! LOL Here is to all of us who try to live life to the fullest and stay within the lines!! Luv to all of you who are supporting my adventure! cc PS ...and here is the little guy who inspired me to do it...
