Well, Blow Me!

I woke up today with the sound of raindrops spanking my bedroom window. Before the curtains were opened I instantly regretted not going for a walk yesterday. This would have been the ideal day to be lazy, not Saturday. Still, I had made a promise to myself that I'd go for a walk today no matter what. So I opened the curtains, only to be met with the visual of my house going through a carwash! The rain, the wind, the works were all in full force. Maybe I'd wait for that walk.

The weather somewhat improved as I was munching on my breakfast. Good enough to get out for a walk straight after it in fact. As I finished up and getting ready to go out, cycle number two on the carwash struck. My heart sank and I started to debate how I could get round this problem. Could I exercise in the house somewhere? What would I do?! Maybe I could brave the elements or put it off until tomorrow? No, no, I was going for a walk... sometime today.

My family cooked the main meal for Sunday, duck with vegetables. I know duck isn't exactly the healthiest of meats but whenever I'm getting my eating gear wrapped around something like that I also think of the much, much worse things I could be eating - like I used to do four months ago. It is still good food, and remember I am NOT on a diet, I am just choosing to live healthier, lose some weight and get more exercise. This was not a problem.

The weather started to improve a little but the sky always looked like it could turn anytime. I gambled and headed out for a walk. I covered a lot of ground in an hour. I was very aware of my lazy day yesterday and to some extent I wanted to make up for it today. It was windy, very windy, very very windy. There was hardly anyone about, even though it was around 6 o'clock in the evening. It was some wild weather but wasn't harsh. Fortunately the odd threat of rain didn't come to much and I got home dry, if a tad windswept.

Obviously I still need to lose more weight, the wind didn't blow me over!!
