Just a quicky....

Just back from a 4km walk and a lovely lazy evening meal ...lol....hey come on now!  Anyone who has read more than 1 of my posts just knows I can't keep totally on the wagon!

The "meal" was a bowl of oats with grated apple, sprinkled with cinnamon, I have to say it is one of my favourite "meals".

Anyway I forgot to mention that a while ago ....before the Walk In Her Shoes Challenge, my hubby bought me a present, a Samsung Gear Fit!

How lucky am I, right?

I obviously had a Samsung phone (Note 4) and hubby was originally going to get me a fitbit ....then he asked the sales assistant to chat to me, which he did, after lots of pros and cons explained I walked away from the phone call thinking I was getting a Garmin.....when I got home from work hubby surprised me with the Gear Fit.

I have to say that it is AWESOME!!  I love that I can have the time and the number of steps I've walked at the same time.  That was a great feature when I was walking 20,000 steps each day!!  When you hit 5,000 and 10,000 (the recommended number of daily steps) the watch buzzes and shows a little medal lol

Also I've signed up for another round of Michelle Bridges 12WBT.  I did this back in 2013, lost some weight then fell off the wagon ...totally off the wagon!!  Hence the need to rejoin! lol

Any Hoo thats your lot for today!!  Bed will soon be calling :)

Crikey ....twice in as many days!

So.... yes, I'm here again!

We had dinner quite late yesterday and I almost threw the towel in and didn't walk ....BUT .....you'll all be pleased to read that I actually DID go for a walk, only 4kms but hey better than sitting on my butt eating junk right??


It's been a busy day here so far, had to do a mega grocery shop as my dad has come to stay with us, so no more empty fridge, it is packed with good foods, easy to eat fruits for grabbing something in the run.

I'll be off for another walk tonight but I'll have to make sure I leave earlier, so I better start getting dinner cooked very soon!!

So come on people what can I do to stay motivated, what motivates you to stay on track each day?

Are you better at staying on track with food or exercise?

What are your easy 'go to meals' when you days are super busy?

What are your favourite or loathed exercises?

Look forward to reading your responses!!

Ciao for now MJ :)

It's been a while....

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything at all so I thought I better write and let you know how I went with my Walk In Her Shoes challenge.  I managed to walk just over 100kms in 1 week!!  I was actually amazed at how much I enjoyed it ....well apart from the blisters all over my feet!  I think there were times that I had bandaids on every single toe!!

To celebrate I purchased some new exercise clothing ...but in true MJ style, I've been out two or three times since then!  Each night I lay in bed thinking how I'm going to get up early and walk then walk again after work each day .....they say Ït's the thought that counts" ... bullcrap!!  I think about it all the time but it's not helping me loose any of these excess cms off my ever expanding belly!!

As I've decided to address my 'mammoth mammary condition'.....(giant boobs) so hubby and I are in the process of saving the $10,000 for a breast reduction, I'm hoping to get it done by the end of this year sometime....something to look forward to ...well maybe not the pain but certainly the smaller boobage!

So you see, I really do have something to work towards, so I've decided that if I get back to walking and blogging, I'm sure there will be some of you out there to spur me on......?  I hope!!

Two weeks from today I'll give you all some numbers and we can hopefully ...fingers crossed ...watch the numbers together as they decrease!!  I don't want to have little boobies and a giant belly!!
So let me know if anyones out there and reading and I'll keep posting and walking, talk soon, MJ x
