Can’t beat Wellington on a good day
The title is a song written for this fair city. Andis so applicable for the days of this particular weekend.
Last night I headed out for a walk it was 1hour and by the end i was bored of walking. I got home at 8pm and from when I started and it was hot till the end of the walk you could feel the temp cool down. I walked 5.88km.
I got up this morning and washed 2 loads of washing. Dried and washed dishes before heading off to the gym.
I did 20mins on the cycle going up and down in intervals, it was hard but I got through it. I then went on the cross trainer and got to 10mins and was nearly sick, I was just totally beat. I was told that my heart rate was too high, which made sense as i could feel my heart beating hard and very fast. I didn’t want short change myself from cardio so went on a a different cycle and completed my workout.
Jo and I went upstairs to do some weights. I did half my routine but was not feeling good so decided to take it easy and i had completed over an hour of work. I also knew I had my walk to do this afternoon.
When I got home we had lunch and then headed to the shops and got a few groceries. Once home I went for my walk and the family were going to give me a 30min head start and meet me at the park. I walked for 1 hour and did 5.66km. I started off slower than yesterday even though exerted myself the same but my tummy still didn’t feel 100%.
While I was walking I have a few goals close to achievement.
1st is getting to the 70’s so 79.9kg/ 2nd is getting to 79.7kg which is 10% off my last 10% loss/ 3rd is 20kg lost so 78.4kg / 4th is getting to 78kg as that is what I got to last time I lost weight before I got really sick. (I still have the lovely clothes I got from then and can’t wait to wear them again. I am a classic dresser so most will still be fashionable)
We watched the kids play for a bit and have got home, where I want to have a shower, eat tea and blob. Although some Christmas decorating will happen, just not the tree as haven’t found a live one yet. I am so tired and have blisters on the sole of my feet due to walking so much.
We didn’t go to the drinks as Dayna wasn’t well in the night so thought it best to play it safe.
Tomorrow is weigh day so lets see if this extra effort is paying off.

Well done on all the walking. Sounds like you’re a bit exhausted, and with the slightly higher HR as well. A good brisk walk will do you good (other than the blisters) so don’t worry, you’re still burning calories and fat.
Sorry to hear that now Dayna isn’t well. I wonder too if you might have a succumbed to it a bit too.
Take care of yourself.
