Hi,
Easter Sunday should be a day for friends, family, food and fun - well I was short changed on most of these. I spent the day with my friend Deborah on a GI Jane fitness day in deepest Kent, running around the massive garden, finding muscle groups I didn't know I had or even existed and used 4,000 calories in the day. Confession: all I was thinking about was the roast lamb I had waiting for me when I got home! It certainly went down a treat, although I did have visions of all the spring lambs I saw skipping about the previous day - sorry!!
On a serious note, it was encouraging to see bigger women embracing fitness.
I weigh 3 stone more than one of my friends, and she gets tired walking around Bluewater! I walk 10 miles regularly (at my own pace) - its a much cheaper way to spend a Saturday than a day at Bluewater!! Just for information, on a 10 mile walk I did 25,000 steps and used up 3,500 calories, spent about a tenner on contribution to petrol and food. Went to bed a happy bunny - if slightly sun kissed!
Buy a heart rate monitor and see how many more calories you burn, its a great incentive! Don't buy ANOTHER pair of shoes that pinch your feet, buy a decent pair of trainers (MBT's are so worth the money) and get walking. If you live near Bluewater, Sweaty Betty have a walking day on Sundays, there are all shapes and sizes, some women even borrow the next door neighbour's babies for extra ballast - I don't need any more of that thank you!! Its a cheap and easy way to get fit!
Speak Soon

Only a man could do this!
If you are a keen walker, you will know all about kissing gates, so only a man could have put one beside a 10 foot gap!!
Did he get a kiss - only because it was his birthday!!
Its bluebell time!
