My Journey To Health - A Morning Walk
Up early this morning, bedlinen on the line, yes the weather is holding. Booked my Zumba class for Monday week, you have to get up early to book as spaces fill up super fast. Then I took myself off to my local stately home, Chatsworth, for a fresh 45 minute walk around the wonderful gardens, very empty as it was quite early. I have been getting as much exercise as I can for a goodly few months, to increase my fitness and health. I have also been watching the calories and I'm pleased to report I have lost 15lbs so far. The Mr and I have made a conscious shift in our everyday food choices and intake and both of us feel a lot better for it, it will, I feel, be a lifetime choice now. Although I must be due a cake soon, ha ha.

When you've been on the planet some 50 years + it's not often you can say you've seen something so extraordinary, it was breath...
Chatsworth looks absolutely worth a visit, hopefully I'll be able to make it up there some time!
ReplyDeleteWell done for adopting a healthier lifestyle, although I don't think the odd cake will be bad for you :-) xxx
Thanks PP. We're due to visit Norfolk again soon, so I've earmarked Biddy's tea room in Aylsham for a gorgeous piece of cake and some loose leaf tea.
DeleteHello there, a new follower here but not a new reader! I too am on a health mission, I'm 60 this year!! Well done on your weight loss! I'm just outside the healthy BMI range, so some loss for me would be great!!
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome Mrs LH, so pleased to hear from you and to see you've clicked on to follow me, you are my 100th follower, I can hear a fanfare. Thank you.
DeleteEveryone deserves a treat now and again . . . well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. It's all about having a treat and not scoffing every day. Some days are easier than others and I'm firmly in the swing of it now.
DeleteLovely pictures from you walk.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your weight loss and for adopting a healthier lifestyle.
All the best Jan
Thanks very much Jan. I shall carry on.
DeleteKeep walking GF!!! And keep taking your readers along!!! This post was amazing! That second photo with the sunlight falling on the lawn/property behind the building is the something dreams in my head are made of. Fairytale-like enchanting. Cando Tutus indeed... (And bravo on the conscious life choices...but, yes, of course, cake is a necessary part of the plan!) ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteHello my friend, lovely to hear you and many thanks for the encouragement. I only wish I could give you a tour of Chatsworth I know you would love it. Next time I go inside I will take some pics just for you.
DeleteWell done on your new fitness regime, and the weight loss. I always find it easier to put into practice once the better weather arrives, winter just makes me want to hunker down and eat comfort food, haha.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. The Mr and I did a Slimvember just before Christmas as a prelude to the festivities and it greatly helped.
DeleteGood luck on your journey to healthier living. It must be satisfying to notice a difference in your wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteChatsworth looks glorious. I drove past there last year, but didn't get the chance to visit. X
Thank you Jules. I'm lucky to have Chatsworth on my doorstep.
DeleteWell done, I am trying to get healthier too and carrying on with my weight loss journey.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Chris, good luck with your weight loss journey.
