Week Sat 30/6/28 - Fri 6/7/18

Sat - 10min bikeride, same distance as yesterday so presume the same time.
Sun - Did a shorter ride, kinda, but not.  Had trouble getting to the bridge but made it up to the first wh post past before turning around.  But then went past our driveway and up to horse lady's shed so maybe it would have worked out same distance. 
Mon - No moving, ate too much crap
Tues - No moving, ate too much crap
Wed - No moving, ate too much crap
Thur - No moving.
 Fri - No moving.   No fitter.

Lets see how this week goes.  Goal - at least 3 of these rides and a walk somewhere.

Well for a week that started off full of good intentions, I have no idea why I never followed through.

Friday 29th

Guess what?  I am fat and so unfit that a 5min bikeride does me in.  Yep, not even went 5minutes down the road and I was huffing and puffing with aching legs as well.  And my hands and ears were cold too.  haha, so much whinging  saying it like it was.  8:14 when I took off from here and still cold.

But...bikeride!   How many points for that Lee?   I didn't get to the main corner but passed the bridge and went to the driveway just passed the yellow railway box.  I think I need to do this more often.   All up, 10 minutes to get there then back home again, probably less than 2 k.  Something to improve on.

My 84 year old mother goes for a 3km bikeride every morning.   She has recently added extra rides in throughout the day, does all her own housework and washes her windows when they need it.  Puts me to shame.  I will start with getting a 3 km bikeride in and will give myself 2 weeks to get there.  Lets do this.

This week, Saturday to Friday, I have done 3 caravan to beach and back walks and 1 x 10 min bikeride.  How much fitter will I be by next Friday...

No Crap But No Walking Either.

It's Thursday 28th June and seeing as it was a work day until 3.30 I decided that it would be another  *no crap* day.   I am busy on work days so it's easier to not think about food...until I get home.  Then all bets are off.  

But today has been OK. 
5:20am - Coffee
3:50ish - 1/2 tin baked beans - so hungry!
6ish - chook, peas and a hashbrown -  So maybe the frozen hashbrown is kinda crap, oh well.
7:30 - coffee
Then clean my teeth as all eating is finished until tomorrow.

I am Volunteer Manager at our local Vinnies store and supposably there 2 days a week but we are short on vollies at the moment so I am sometimes there 3, even 4, days each week.  I don't mind though, it gets me off the computer and I like what we do down there.  And now that I have decided that I will be doing these *no crap* days it is easier being there and not at home where husband has his crap food.   He ended up buying 2 boxes of drumsticks the other day so that was 48!! icecreams in the freezer.   So far I have already had 2, none today though.  He is off work for a few weeks and he eats crap.  If it is here and within reach I usually do too.  But I am not going to be eating as much now that I have decided to get serious about being healthier.

Unfortunately I haven't done any moving, not even a walk, since Sunday when we were out the beach, that definitely needs to change.  A short walk in the mornings wouldn't hurt, it would be cold out but walking would warm me up maybe.   I really need to work on getting more moving in so if I haven't within the next week then feel free to give me a stern talking too.

End of - Monday 25th June

No crap food again today, even said no to fruitsalad and icecream when husband offered it tonight.  But no moving at all.  Hmmm.

At work again tomorrow and have chicken soup ready to take for lunch so food will be fine until late tomorrow afternoon when I get home and as tea is already cooked I should be OK then too.  We'll see.

Drumsticks are on special this week, ends tomorrow.  Husband says he will go buy a box.  Bugger!  We all know what that means don't we.  It means that there will be 24 drumstick icecreams in the freezer and I will probably eat too many of them...Maybe I wont, maybe I will only have a few, over the week.  Maybe.  I will ask him not to offer me any and to keep them out in the shed but there will be some here inside...maybe he will forget to go get them...Maybe I should just not be a pig, and leave them alone, regardless of where they are.  Now there's a thought!

Monday 25th June 2018

Well, looky here, I am back, and after only 2 days.  I surprise myself sometimes.

On Friday friend T said that she was going to start the 5-2 way of eating and that would be her first day and that I should do it too...so with nothing to lose except a big amount of kilos I decided to get serious, again.  So I did eat less that I normally do and can say that there was no processed crap of any kind eaten, an achievement in itself when husband is home from work.  I did well right up until after tea when son brought in some ding sausage mixture to cook and taste, it was so nice!   So I then had some dates and something else I think...But still, all real food so not gunna moan about it too much.

Over the weekend husband and I went out to our caravan out at Myalup Beach.  I love going out there but for some reason don't.  Silly.  Anyway, our van is around 500 metres away from the beach and it's a tiny bit hilly to walk down to the beach and back up the hill again.  We used to do it all the time, 4, 5, 6 , 7 times a day...well, maybe not 6 or 7 but lots!...On Saturday I did the walk when we got out there and again in the evening and again on Sunday morning.  Apart from the fact that it takes longer and I puff more, it's still a good walk.  And in a hot and puffing way I enjoyed it.  So I will go out again and do the walk again...much more often.  Another good thing about going out there is that husband didn't buy any chips, chocolate or other crap so I didn't eat any of that either.   And had rooster and vegie soup  ready to eat when we got home.  'Cept son was here making up the sausages and brought some in to cook and taste, so bleedin' yummy I had 3.  But, homemade so no crap in them, just pork and spices.  And whatever else he put in them, I don't want to know that bit, I want to believe that they are healthyish and real food.

Today is going to be another no crap day for me, nothing to eat until I get home from work this afternoon when I will eat the rooster soup that is all ready to go.  Though I have had a coffee and may have an apple or 2 at work if I need to.  So when I say nothing I mean only a bit of fruit.  
I should go for a walk but have Minutes to type up and it is already 8 and I have to leave soon...might go this afternoon if T decides to go out to Hamel.

Heres to a decent eating day and maybe a walk to better health and fitness.  Who wants to join me?

Getting Serious.

It's the 22 June 2018 and I am going to get serious about getting fitter and healthier.  Really!
