D Day - Day #1

Ok so the first day.....we got up at 6.30am this morning, after lying in bed for 15 minutes contemplating whether or not TO get up! Neither of us slept particularly well last night, so it was VERY tempting, NOT to get up and instead to stay in bed where it was lovely and warm!

BUT, I'm proud to say that we did indeed get up. So up and dressed, we got in the car drove down to the beach, yes I know we drove somewhere so we could go for a walk but I enjoy my walks and tend to throw myself into them more if I'm actually 'enjoying' where I'm walking, appreciating the views and the surrounds and I always do whenever I'm near the beach. It's only a 5 minute drive anyways.

It was very chilly, not cold, just chilly and very very very windy, with lovely dark threatening clouds. The sea was rough and there weren't even any birds around - see they had the sense to stay in bed lol!

We walked for 2kms and it only took us half an hour, at a nice steady pace, walking on sand at that, just for that little extra bit of resistance - hence why my thighs are screaming at me this afternoon!

Tomorrow, we are going to aim for 3km and walk a bit faster. Start off slow and build up I say, plus hubby is also giving up smoking, so combine:

• Giving up smoking
• Giving up ALL forms of junk food and drink
• With a new exercise program

and you have a serious case for getting extremely narky and moody! But we are already feeling the good affects of starting our day off with some much needed exercise, by the time we arrived home this morning, I felt like I could take on the world, slowly but I could take it on! lol
