The weekend is here, I had my usual 8km power walk this evening and tomorrow I’ll be heading into town to purchase a pair of running shoes along with some casual shoes given that the ones I have are, well, falling to pieces. Things are progressing with my weight loss – clothes are looser and I am finding it easy to move about, I’m regaining flexibility and over all I have a lot more energy. Those first few months when I started this journey were bloody difficult – I’m not going to lie to you and claim that it was easy sailing because any change in ones life after a long time of doing something takes a lot of effort and discipline – with support from my family I’ve been able to get through those tough times and I remind myself by trying on clothes that yes, i am making progress even if it doesn’t feel like the weight is dropping off over night.

Tomorrow I’m going to get up then head down to my local cafe for an eggs bene with smoked salmon and a cappuccino for brunch then head out to pick up the running shoes I saw online – maybe I’ll get a red pair of shoes that’ll make me walk faster lol. Tomorrow night I’ll have dinner at mums and then pick up some groceries on the way home. It is funny how with having a much more ordered life that I am saving money rather than finding myself short on occasions when it comes to money. I might get some mixed frozen berries – they’re cheaper than getting them fresh and the added benefit is you don’t have to worry about them going off, it is one of the reasons I prefer to buy my vegetables frozen because it avoids waste which is a significant portion of many peoples food bills.
