Sunday 1 March 2009

All going well so far. Followed the plan almost to the letter, but swapped a few days around to fit in with prior commitments. I have averaged around 55 mins for the three mile walks this week, even with the dog. He does like to stop quite a lot!!! I went completely on my own the first day, but must confess, I do feel quite self-conscious without the dog, so he came along with me for the rest of the week!!

How's this for dedication - went out on Saturday lunchtime to celebrate my brother in law and sister in law's wedding anniversary and did not have a drink! (anyone who knows me well will know how unusual that is!!), I have learnt quickly how difficult it is to walk any distance the morning after!! So off I went for a four mile walk today - as per the plan. Left the dog behind though in case I had to make a toilet stop at the local Tesco (which I did!!!). Still felt a bit self-conscious to start with but got more used to it by about half way. I'm much more used to having my Fiat Punto between me and the outside world!!!!!! Managed to do the walk in one hour and fifteen mins. Which I was pleased with. Still no blisters (touch wood).

Next walk planned for Tuesday morning .........
