My goal for day 7 is to take two 30 min walks this week. Don't think I'll be heading out today because it's pouring with rain. The rest of my goals are going well, especially eating 5+ fruit and veggies per day. The alcohol reduction has gone by the way side the past couple of days. Whitesnake and I have been chilling out before he starts his new job. I'm not too worried though, after this week, we'll be back into a more regular work schedule routine.
That's all from me folks
See you tomorrow for One Shot Wednesday.

One of my first goals was to walk more each week. I was struggling a little previously as I had been experiencing the occasional panic attack when I was walking. I took some of my friends advice and decided to go somewhere different for my walk and take my camera with me. I found this worked really well as I was focusing on my environment instead of letting my thoughts race (which can lead to panic). You can read more about my thoughts on panic attacks here.
With this in mind, Whitesnake and I have decided to take a walk somewhere different each week and share our pics with you. We've called this blog segment Weekend Walkabout - a place to share and explore the different corners of our world.
Here's some pics I took last week while in the park.

Walkabout is a phrase we use in NZ, which means to walk around and explore with no specific destination in mind. Have you been walkabout anywhere interesting this week? If so, post your story or pictures to your blog, leave a comment here and a link to your blog on our Linky and Whitesnake or KB will come take a look.
Everything is going well with me. I'm doing great with my 30 days to a healthier happier me challenge. I had one alcohol free night this week rather than the two I was aiming for but still managed to keep within the alcohol units, so I'm happy with that. I've noticed a few changes already, I feel I have more energy during the day, my mood is more stable and I've reduced the tablets I've been taking for acid reflux by half. That's pretty impressive stuff just after a couple of weeks. It's giving me motivation to keep going even though it's the silly season and there are so many excuses to drink more rather than less.
I went on a 30 minute walk yesterday and I'm happy to report I didn't feel any anxiety while I was out. I listened to Kat's advice and took my camera with me. I love taking pics and between trying my new Dog Whisperer techniques with Coco and juggling the camera, I didn't have time to think about anxiety. I'll be sharing more pics from my walk on Weekend Walkabout on Sunday. (I've decided to post on the weekend rather than Wednesdays as it's easier for me and I'm the boss of WW, so I can do what I like, hehe).
My next goal is to eat 5+ servings of fruit and veggies per day. I'm already pretty good at eating my veggies but I would like to be more consistent with this. I've found a few tips to share about that but my post isn't quite ready yet, I'll probably post it tomorrow.
Whitesnake is on his last week at his current job. I must say, I'm looking forward to him starting his new job. He won't have to work the long shifts he's doing at the moment and there won't be any more night shifts or early starts. Yay, it'll be much better for both us. Funny thing is, a few weeks ago I was telling Whitesnake how I was finally getting into the routine of early starts and then next thing I know, I won't have to get up early any more. Funny how often you achieve one goal and then the next step presents itself.
Before I go, I have excellent news. I often enter competitions or sign up for give aways but never win. This week I WON TWO give aways - a six month subscription to Good magazine but best of all, a poetry book from my friend, Jannie I've finally found a blonde who is crazier than me (that's high praise), she announced the winners of her competition FROM A TREE. Thanks so much sweetie, you made my day.
