Well , it's been a funny old day. Firstly deciding I wouldshare my new adventure with you all and secondly this damn cold is really getting on my nerves.
Hauling my sorry ass out of bed this morning was a great effort, I'd been woken in the night with the sinus fire form hell and hubbies snoring, but I had a date with a fit young man and a lovely 6 month old lady.
The fit young man was my Personal Trainer, David Gorwill, and the 6 month old lady is his boxer dog CoCo. Todays challenge wasnt in the gym but in Nant Fawr , Llanishen. This formed part of my regular running route last year but today it was a visit with a twist.
9:00 is a lovely time of day , the sun was out, birds were singing but there was still a lot of dew on the ground. Dave and CoCo turned upwith a weighted rucksack (just about 14 pounds) and we began our walk in the woods. It's mixed terrain, soft muddy fields, and whilst we were chatting about our weekend CoCo was busy chasing the tormenting crows. This seems easy enough I thought and the we began the climb uphill and out on to the roads of Lisvane. EEEEEEK ....I'm a sweaty Betty at the best of times and even more so since taking the Tamoxifen but I was literally dripping. It was great for my sinus though , lost of spanking fresh air, trying to get as much oxygen into my tired old body as possible to make the 5k walk a pleasurable as possible.
Yep it was a pleasure, and I burnt over 500 calories doing it. Now I know weight loss is just simple math , less calories in and more calories out to create a deficit. Should be easy right??? Then how come I struggle so much with it???
Dave was wittering on about diet and what foods I eat ....it's not the food love, you wont find any processed muck here, not when we have our own chickens and 3 allotments .....it's having a fun sociable life and a probably destructive relationship with alcohol that does it. But lets just face one demon at a time eh??
This cold is making me feel crappy so there wont be any more exercise for me today but tomorrow ........ I know what I need to do , but can I do it?
