Wordless Wednesday

Cobwebs

I ain't partial to spiders in general but there webs are fascinating in the right weather conditions. Today in the woods there was a damp harr. Camera did not do them justice. 

First ladybird of the year!

Summer is coming!

Woods "springing" alive

It's ace to see the pale greens of new growth appearing back after winter.  Pics from the usual dog walk woods.

Final exam of second year

Waiting to start our final exam of second year! 

Inspire me....

 There has been some viral posts, mean post and stuff on the web but I saw this in bed this morning and it seriously got to me. I, heart of steel, shed a wee tear. Maybe cause it cuts close to home and it could be me running. I am so so dam slow. It's only week two and I am pretty sure I could walk faster than I run. The running style in this describes me to a tee. Saying that however something about it inspired me to keep at it. Running again tomorrow with my ever patient husband who inspires me and boots my ass out the door.

“To the fatty running on the Westview track this afternoon:

You, whose feet barely lift off the ground as you trudge around the track. You, who keeps to the outside lane, footslogging in the wrong direction. You, who stops for water breaks every lap, and who would probably stop twice a lap if there were bleachers on both sides. You, whose gaze drops to your feet every time we pass. You, whose sweat drenches your body after you leave, completing only a single, 20-minute mile.

There’s something you should know: You f**ing rock.

“Every shallow step you take, you carry the weight of more than two of me, clinging to your bones, begging to be shaken off. Each lap you run, you’re paying off the debt of another midnight snack, another desser, another beer. It’s 20 degrees outside, but you haven’t let that stop your regimen. This isn’t your first day out here, and it certainly won’t be your last. You’ve started a journey that lasts a lifetime, and you’ve started it at least 12 days before your New Year’s resolution kicks in. You run without music, and I can only imagine the mantras running through your mind as you heave your ever-shrinking mass around the next lap. Let’s go, feet. Shut up, legs. F**k off, fat. If you’d only look up from your feet the next time we pass, you’d see my gaze has no condescension in it.

“I have nothing but respect for you. You’ve got this.”

First week results are in!

Well it was weigh in night tonight. After being back on slimming world for a week and taking up jogging it was crunch time! Every day since I started it I was either running the C25k app or walking a few miles. Dieting was ok, could of watched it a bit better. 

LOST 2 POUNDS! Delighted!!

Pic is of my evening meal tonight. I always eat before I get weighted. This was home make pork meat balls with salad, grated beetroot, carrots and boiled eggs with a small helping of ceasers dressing. I love a salad that has a hot content in it.

Will keep at it for next week!
