Hmmm, looks like nothing for all that time.  It is now the Thursday the 19th!!   Will I be fitter By Friday?  Ummm, no.  Lots less fitter as I just did some steps and only managed 80.  Oh dear...

I Went All The Way...

...To the corner and back.  I haven't done that in quite awhile and it showed in the sore legs and the huffing and puffing but I did it anyway. 

Learned a few more things:

• Don't spend too much time looking at the cows in the paddock or you could end up in the lake-size puddle on the side of the road.  I didn't, 'cause I'm good, but it was close.
• Ducks that suddenly fly up out of the lake-size puddle make me jump.
• I need a bigger bike seat.  Or a smaller bum.
• It's going to take awhile before I can get to the dairy and back.

The movement of something black out the corner of my eye, over in the paddock, probably wasn't a big cat/panther/puma...Probably...

Why?

Why do I eat so much crap, sit around too much doing nothing, not get outside and walk up the road, not get on the bike and ride for 5 minutes, not walk into town like I used to, not do anything to make myself fitter so that I can get out and explore and have fun?  Why?

It's Tuesday already and I have had 2 days of nothing.  Why?  What the frig is wrong with me?  Do I not really want to "wander the countryside, climb big rocks and swim in lakes and rivers"?  I'm pretty sure that I do want to do those things and I would like to not half-kill myself in the process.  I'd like it to be fun and not a strain on the ol' ticker.   I'd like for the rest of the group to not have to stop or slow down and cater to me...In no way do I ever expect to be able to run up Bluff knoll and maybe even walking it again is now beyond me but smaller rocks, paths through the bush, wide lakes and dams...That could all be fun, so why don't I get fit enough to do it all?  Or fit enough to do some of it even?  Ha, dunno.  

I know an 86 year old woman that goes for multiple rides on her bike every day, another woman only a couple of years older than me that can walk and ride for miles/hours.   Someone else started bikeriding and is now up to 50km a time, a younger person that not long ago had emergency surgery but is now walking more than me...What do these people have inside their head that I don't seem too?   Dunno.

I have a few choices. 

1. I could sit on the lounge and eat cake/crap with the husband and stay home 'cause I will be fatter and more unfit than I am now and not want to do anything and stop thinking about all the wandering, rocks, lakes and adventures that I think I want to do.
2. I could keep doing what I am doing and not see enough improvement in fitness so I will whinge about it all being too hard so not do anything and end up doing number 1 by default.
3. I could eat less crap and move more and go on a weekly adventure until the adventure is that rock, lake or whatever I want.
4. I could eat better, move more, then move more again, then again...

What would be your choice?   What will be mine...
