Excuses, excuses
It’s been a while since my last entry. Lets just recap what happened. Before you yell out “Excuses, excuses!”, read on. I believe I am still on track with my weight loss and muscle gain program.
In the last weeks, I suffered from a flu-like cold, with sore throat, headaches, achey muscles and joints, and general malaise that lasted for nearly two weeks. Add to this generally bad weather with the most rain fall in this month since 72 years, add to this flooding of my gym room at home where I had to completely disassemble that darn thing, and you get the picture. Regarding this nasty cold, everyone at work had it, with symptoms starting on the exactly same day!
Saggybutt and I have been exercising as good as we could. While we didn’t get to do our “walkies” as often as we would have liked, we have still managed to get out every now and then. We have even found a new route that leads through bushland that really resembles an enchanted forrest.
I have included a picture of today’s walk. We’ve been out 45 minutes and we managed to get some sunny moments in between the drizzly rain. Doesn’t it look nice? Makes walking almost a meditative experience! I really enjoy it.
Saggybutt is still not quite fit and still complains quite a bit during our morning walks. Lately we’ve occasionally had to do some intermittent jogs to escape some particularly heavy showers, after which Saggybutt often had to stop running, declaring that if she’d continue to run, she’d die on the spot. I have my doubts about the dying on the spot thing but I am wise enough not to argue with her at this point.
