Hanging with the bloggy girls......

I started this post a week ago.................late Thursday night after dinner............I want to rewind to that happy place I was with the girls and all the excitement.....not sad because it is the last GDITC......
&&&&&
Thursday afternoon I snuck off from work a little early and headed to Nundle.......my usual partner in all things quilty was travelling with her partner this time..........
after hours of driving getting closer to Nundle I had to wait for a stupid train...........OMG I think it was the longest coal train in the world.........
the 10 mins I was delayed felt like 10 hrs with the girls on the other side waiting for me.........and me busting to get to them.........

nearly in Nundle I looked back to a beautiful sunset.......
dinner was heaps of fun and the exciting crazy chatter that only meeting up with your old friends brings.........the volume in the pub went right up.......
Me, Janice and Jenny.......
Me and Dzintra......
Me and Jenny
Omg so much fun...... Love these girls.....
Me, Fiona, Susan, Sandy, De, Kerri, Marilyn, Lynda, Janice, Jenny, Dzintra
More to come for sure........
Catch you later....

Aim high...............

See previous post or this post back in Feb

So I thought about it........I can do this...........
I will get my walk total to 150kms.....
.....that means 5kms/day for the next 11 days left in March..........


Not only is Cancer Council March Charge about raising funds it's also about promoting health.......walking or running is good for your health and you raise money while your at it..........win win situation.........
It is proven that 1/3rd of cancers are preventable by a healthy lifestyle - eating healthy and doing regular exercise............

SO HERE IS MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU

Yes that's you on the other side of screen reading this........
I can see you.........

What are you going to improve your health and fitness this next 11 days......come on........who is going join me.........what are you going to do to 
you don't have to do 5kms............
do something more then what you do now........

I have a few friends who have been walking with me some days in town and we have decided to keep walking after work once this is finished.........
this has been the motivation they also needed.......

I know Janice will be riding her bike..........
Googy Girl might go to the gym or for a walk......

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????
Don't ignore me............
Get moving.....walk around the house yard 20 times..........walk down to the park or the cattle yards, what ever it is........
Cut out fizzy drinks (except for soda and a piece of lemon)
MOVE........
come back and tell me what it is you have done...........

Catch you later.............

PS yes I am very motivated at the moment..........the more I do the better I feel.......2,5 yrs ago this was not possible..........it's been a long slow journey but OMG so worth every second to be where I am now..........

Catching up.....

I'm getting better and braver in the city now days..............
Wandering around I randomly ran into my cousin who i forgot lives and works right in the city...........conveniently he was getting lunch with his boss who told him not to rush back so he could spend some time with me.......bonus........
then I found my way walking around to Darling Harbour............enjoyed this platter with a girlfriend before Adele.........
now I don't do traffic well so to calm the nerves (no wipe that) frustrationnnnnnnnnnnn (that would be the word I need) at how people drive and how long it takes to go short distances I stitched Lucy.............
I got 3 fillers finished while away...........
95,400 people here...........the concert was wonderful......
little freakish getting out with the massive numbers but otherwise the huge crowd didn't bother me......
Sunday breakfast was so good...........OMG.......
Had breaky with friends and Miss Sonia @ Forever Always Online.......
I do love my friends..........such special people to me...
then it was time to head home..........views over the southern part of Sydney..........


Some  cliff faces catching the afternoon sun in the Blue Mountains.........
OMG they are rugged.....
some centre irrigation pivots showing up in the dry landscape.........
%%%
only a few sleeps and it's off to Girls Day in the Country...........can't wait to see all the girls
%%%%
not much other then work and walking happening here............
as of tonight I have done 67kms..........
raising lots of money.............thanks heaps to those who have sponsored me......it's not to late........and I know some of you have been following my posts on the March Charge page..........thanks heaps for your support...........
walking most days after work and have found someone to drag along with me everytime........so improving the health of myself and encouraging others too...........now I am not saying healthy people don't get cancer they can but a healthy lifestyle sure can help ward off some cancers........
are you looking after yourself????
Catch you later............
