Summary

Well I'm not gonna pretend that I'm going to be good at updating this blog....obviously, because it's been over a week since I started ooops.

Rundown of my week just passed...

• Monday - 50 minute walk

• Tuesday - half a game of netball (we won yussss)

• Weds - Blisters from HELL!! Day off of exercise

• Thursday - Still blisters so me and my flattie did some Turbo Jam in bare feet...hilaaaaaaarious!

• Friday - Nothing....unless dancing up a storm counts? But the wine probably cancels that out...

• Saturday - More dancing?

• Sunday - No exercise but we didn't get KFC for our hangovers!!  We had a proper dinner with veges. It's an achievement. Trust me. 

Got up at 6.15am for another walk this morning, which was surprisingly easy to do...kind of almost jumped out of bed. Weirdo. Beautiful day outside. Got home at 7.30am and felt it was too early to get ready for work so sat outside and read my book with my breakfast for an hour. So much spare time in the mornings!!

My cousin Rox just text me asking to go for another walk with her too so may do that this evening if she can still be bothered.

It's a good day....lunch suggestions??

First Post!

So I've made a blog...Yayyyy?? Ha.

Turns out my cousin has signed me and pretty much the whole family up for a 5k run in approximately 10 weeks...first response - UH OH! So this blog is to get my cousins off my back (just kiiiiidding) and jump on the bandwagon with them to get in shape and run this 5km mother effer of a race. And beat the aunties. Surely that won't be hard? Well I know the race will be but beating the aunties will just be icing on the cake. A big "stuff you" to the old adage that you turn into your mother, in this case, your aunties too, when you grow old.

I really really really don't want this to be the case, I wanna be active. I wanna be able to get up in the morning and know that I can do anything with my day - snowboarding, horse riding, wakeboarding, hiking, ANYTHING! To not feel self conscious of my lack of fitness or weight or anything and just feel comfortable being me and hanging out with my friends, cos I know I am awesome and I don't need to be held back anymore.

This morning me and my aunty went for a 50 minute walk at 6.30am, it's so good once I'm out there walking but goodness it is a struggle getting up!! Especially on a Monday! But as long as I keep in mind how good I feel once I'm up and active in the beautiful quiet of the morning on the foreshore I will be able to keep this up...plus the pressure is on for this race, that certainly is the motivation!!
We are starting the Couch to 5K programme next week, easing ourselves back into the routine.

I can feel my competitive, perfectionist monster surfacing and not gonna lie, I am excited!!
