June 30 last day?

Well we have got to the last day and it feels like time for reflection.

On the whole I have enjoyed the juneathon. What I didn't like was having to come to terms with the startling fact that it is me that makes the excuses so only I know how valid they are.

Did the weather stop me . On the whole no just meant it was a bit muddy.

Do I feel fitter. Not really but it is early days

Would I recommend doing it . yes - gives you a fresh start where you can just be a beginner.

Would I do it again. Yes

And the blogging- that remains to be seen. I should have invested in blogsie earlier as it makes it easier

June 30th last day of juneathon

Well I got to the 30th and I have managed the excercise, well the walking to work, but been really rubbish at the blog. So I thought I would spend some cash and buy a little ap called blogsy to help with the blogging from my iPad. First thoughts £2.99 well spent.

Today I just did a quick walk over to the office from the village but at least it was something.

I'll try to get out and find more pinecones when I go out tomorrow.

June 25 walking to work

Today, I had a really great excuse to not walk across the fields part of the way to work.I had a rather cumbersome file that I need to take with me as well as all my healthy snacks, phone and iPad. I did rather look like a bag lady but I'm glad to say I did the walk., for some reason it feels like stolen time . For years I've just sat in my car patiently waiting for the road to clear, my little walk cuts out that frustration and just allows me to wake up gradually. When I walked back to the car at lunchtime I even felt the heat from the sun. Weird it's been so cold and windy I'd forgotten what it was like to feel heat.

Juneathon 7th june / 14th

Ok so I think it is safe to say I have failed with the blogging side of the Juneathon. I do have an excuse of sorts . I have been on a mission at work to write some templates to make my work less arduous and boy did my eyes ache and the end of each day.
By last thursday they were just so sore and ached so much I just stopped wearing my contact lenses and decided to give them a rest for the week.

I have been walking and running carrying on with week 2 of the beginners running.
Week 2 includes run 2 minutes walk 1 minute walk x7 times.

I am finding the most difficult bit is the first step out of the door, after that is it is just a pain.
Need to do another session today then will be back on track.

As for the walking, I have found a route out from my office that takes me a circular route over to the woods and back. Who would have thought that in June I would need my lovely Arc'reryxteryx

Day 24

Well this is a disastrous attempt at a blog I must say. We are now on day 24 and I had almost forgotten about the blogging bit.....except that my beloved reminded me.
I have to say in mitigation that it's because I've been tired from doing the exercising bit that the blogging went out the window. I have been running or walking everyday bar 2 1 when I did 8 hours in the garden and 2 the day after when I couldn't move because of the previous days effort but apart from that I've been at least walking everyday, maybe just in my lunchtimes but that's more than I was doing before the juneathon.

Anyway a few days ago when I had spent the day wandering about feeling very lethargic without any energy a penny dropped. I realised that it's not just that I am not eating the right things I am still just not eating enough. Also I eat too late in the day. So I made a few changes and started having a much bigger breakfast. Having looked at the recommendations by the Food Doctor I also decided to try and follow their proportions of carbs to protein to sugar at every meal. This means I have to have breakfast in a few stages but it's ok. I set it up the night before and then I have enough time.

It's early days but today I got up and having had what seemed like a large breakfast and lunch I walked over the common for a good couple of hours. I would like to say how far but on this occasion it was the watch and phone that ran out of energy I would not say I was like the Duracell bunny but it was definitely better. What is even better is it 10o'clock and I still feel ok . Still crap at the blogging bit though .
I took photos on my walk but can't get my head round how to up load them . May have to leave that till tomorrow.

I did Juneathon Day 5 promise

Ok so I dont seem to be very good at this.
Yesterday I did a days gardening including my most hated chore strimming the
Veggies. In the afternoon in the spirit of juneathon I walked over to the common and gathered
Pine cones in the wheelbarrow. More bending and stretching than walking but as I have been meaning to do it for
Ages and have never got round to it. So see my rules ...it counts.
Anyway I was just about to write today's entry then noticed that yesterday's comments written at 10.30 pm was missing?

I am really not good at this blogging.
