Keeping Up With KB
Whitesnake and I had a wonderful weekend but it was over too fast as usual.
We definitely saw our share of reality TV.

Had a wonderful time at Mum's on Mother's Day. Spent the day with my parents and Whitesnake. Whitesnake made his yummy prawn cocktails.
Today has been a great day so far. I've been for my walk. I'm doing really well with my walking, a minimum of four times a week, 30 mins each session. I'm so into it now that ifs it's too wet outside, I walk around inside the house (much to Coco's confusion). I've also done a few bits and pieces around the house and now it's time to make my version of Fish Pie for Dinner.
Hope you're all having a great day/night.

Walkin' The Walk
30 days to a happier, healthier me - day 14.
I'm doing really well with my 30 min walks. I'm finding it much easier now that Whitesnake is exercising with me. He's even started running and Coco is enjoying getting more exercise too, (follow the link to read all about her views on exercising and see more pics). This week I'm going to do three walks of 30 mins each and I'm going to include some hill work on one of the sessions too.

| Here's where we take our walks |

| Coco's sooo tired now |
I think that's me up to date. I'm going to be posting more regularly on our joint blog KB and Whitesnakes Home I post on one or the other every day so if you can't find me here, I'll be over there. I've also added a couple of pic badges on my sidebar for Simply Delish and Coco's World. You can click on the pics to take you directly to those sites.
See you tomorrow,

P.S. Happy Australia Day to all my friends across the ditch.

These Feet Are Made For Walkin'
30 days to a happier, healthier me - day 3
Whenever I feel like exercising, I lie down until the feeling passes.
- Robert Hutchins
I couldn't have said it better myself, Robert, hehe.
I started off well with my exercise plan about six months ago. I wore my pedometer for a few weeks to monitor how many steps I was taking. I was only shy of the 10,000 a day by around 3,000 steps, which works out to about a half an hour walk. Funnily enough, the instructions with the pedometer suggested that an average day plus a few extra steps here and there and a 30 minute walk, should do the trick. But of course, I wanted to try finding a way around it, LOL! You can read KB's tips on easy ways to reach your 10,000 steps a day here. Shame I can't take my own advice, hehe.
I was reading an interesting book about womens' health and it suggested looking at walking not as exercise, but as a chance to get out in the fresh air on your own to think and meditate on your life. Sounds much better than exercising. Changing my frame of mind about these things has helped me heaps. The funny thing is, once I get out there, I love it. Coco usually has me giggling about something within no time, I listen to embarrassing pop music (without fear of mockery from Mr Whitesnake), come up with writing ideas and inspiration for life in general
The reason my walking is so sporadic is because vigorous exercise brings on similar symptoms to a panic attack. In the past, when I was out on a long hike, I would experience shortness of breath, rapid heart beat etc and I thought I was going to have a heart attack, when in fact, I was fine and experiencing a panic attack. Sounds so silly when I write it down but it can be a terrifying experience. Whenever I reach for my walking shoes, there's the fear in the back of my mind of having a panic. My walking went by the way side AGAIN after I had a big panic about a month ago. Time to get back into it. Actually, walking is one of the best things I can do for myself when I feel anxious but the thought of going walking can sometimes bring on anxiety. Bit of a vicious cycle with me but I shall keep plodding on. My plan is to go for at least one 30 min walk this week and increase by one walk per week, until I'm walking 4 times a week. I plan to walk a steep track twice a week to really get my heart pumping.
Wish me luck!

P.S. Still on track with day 2 of my plan...I've already had one alcohol free day for the week (my week starts Thursday - don't ask) and just one tipple last night. Go me!

Yesterday, I tried getting back into Yoga. Spent most of the time laughing or cursing under my breath. It's a little difficult to stretch and bend with a sore shoulder and a Coco Spaniel sticking her head in your face. I was surprised how much flexibility I have lost in the last couple of years. I used to do muscle strengthening exercises a couple of times a week at home or at the gym but it seems I'm getting a little stiff and worse for wear as I age. I've noticed quite a difference since I've turned 40. Perhaps I'll persevere with the yoga a bit longer before trying something else.
Everything is going well with me at the moment and I'm feeling happy, loved and motivated.
That's all for now folks.
