Earlier this week I was blog hopping some faves and discovered that Pete and I weigh the same. Oh dear. (Well actually I thought, "Oh shit" but I thought I should appear polite.) I made Mr Steve step onto the scales too. I wasn't feeling as confident as I once did that he would be heavier than me. Umm... he's not. When the fuck did that happen? Oh. ( Over the past two years, he tells me.) It's not healthy for a wife to weigh more than her husband is it? So Wednesday saw the first Diet Day roll by. I may start a weightloss blog - not sure yet. I don't know if it's something I want to waffle about on here because it can be bloody boring if that's all there is. I'll let you know the linkie if I decide to go that route.
The route I decided on was joining a walking group. Got there on time but the others - huh, all two of 'em - had left five minutes earlier. After studying the maps available, I chose a flatish route which would take me close to the coast road and down past a couple of beaches, approximately 1 hour round trip. Oh. My. God. It took me almost 1 hr, 30 minutes and I encoutered one of the steepest hills I've ever had to walk up. With a bend in it at the top, just for the extra bloody challenge. I was glowing like a Belisha beacon when I arrived back at the Community centre. Elaine, nice lady who'd given me the map, said the others had turned up ages ago, although they probably went a different route. I asked if the other ladies appeared to be fit and sporty. "Well, they're training for a marathon so yes, I suppose they are quite," she casually replied.
I'm thinking I might be five minutes late next week.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
