Easing back into it with an attack of the senses....

Wow it has been 2 weeks since I last posted! Has the novelty worn off already? No.... I'm going to keep on swimming.
Or walk/jog/crawl/limping!

My holiday with Smother went as expected, hopefully that wasn't perpetuated by my attitude, because I tried really hard to be patient and just let her talk... but I guess 6 nights was 2 nights too many :s I did leave things badly, which I now feel guilty about. But I don't think I'm the only one who should say sorry. I am the only one who won't hear it though. Yes I do like my twists bitter!

It really is beautiful there. I wish I explored more than I did, but I acted the Roman instead. I did do a c25k session the second day in... and loved it - breathing in the country air, making myself totally obvious. These photos are the views I had while c25k'ing.


The top photo though is a bit disappointing. I dont feel that big. And bulgy. I was feeling ok that day - though I think I comfort ate BIG TIME the night before. Emotional issues + impulsiveness + no interest in controlling my eating = a binge on a jar of nutella and a packet of chocolate rocky road biscuits.


I went for a walk on one of the other mornings. I felt so free and at peace I didn't want to go back to the caravan park. I would love to live there... but if I did, I would be huge.... and feral. And probably happy. But it would only work if I didn't want to do anything else with my life.. so I'll keep my options open for retiring down there instead ;p

Anyway, home again home again jiggity jig. I went for the first c25k week 2 podcast today - and am happy to say that I can jog for 90secs at a time! It doesn't sound like much now, but when you are waiting for the guy to say 'ok you can now slow down to your brisk pace' it feels like forever. My legs feel fine, my calves hurt a bit at the end, but I've stretched a few times. The endorphins have kicked in.. feelin' groovy :)



And it is 1 month into the 3 month challenge, where I wanted to lose 10kgs .. I am happy to say, that despite my hiatus in the hinterland, I have lost a total of 3 kg this month, currently weighing in at 102.4 kg. 

Getting back into it... gotta start somewhere and remind myuself of my goals :) The Fun Run is in less than a month! I wonder how long I can run at a time by then? 3 minutes??? Imagine that!

My goal this month is to reach that big 20kg loss... and I want to do it by 7 Nov - because that is when I weighed in at 120kgs.... :)
