A humbling moment

In my very first blog I clearly stated that:

...Our goal is to support each other to reach our own personal goals, if we can help others along the way that would be wonderful but at this stage if I can get more out of my Les Mills membership I'll be happy! 

Writing that I had no idea we would reach so many people, in such a short amount of time. This humble blog has now been read over 5000 times! I feel incredibly fortunate to have a friend who has committed to supporting me make better 50/50 decisions but now hope we may have helped other people to do so too. 

Interestingly this is where our blog has been read:

The surprises for me were the US, India and Russia! The world seems so much smaller when you realise our concerns, whether they be weight loss, fitness and well being like ours, or other mundane things are universal concerns!

This humbling moment has come at a critical time, for the first time since beginning this blog I have had a break from exercise. 

Last week I was completely smashed by a cold, this time a week ago I didn't get out of bed until gone noon and then it was only to get more Coldral! This amounted to 4 days of no exercise. I did have to walk Mitch but due to the inability to breathe through my nose I don't think it can be called exercise!

I have put my membership at Les Mills on hold to focus on walking, both for 1/2 marathon prep and for Mitch the furry friends sake. I need to be wary of this decision however, pace is a lot harder by yourself so if any of you have good exercise tunes to keep me stepping out briskly I would love to hear your recommendations.

So getting back into the daily grind my goals for the next week are to follow the Walking Stars 1/2 marathon program and to complete some weight resistance exercises (I have enough to work with!)

Thank you to everyone that takes the time to read this & therefore supports Chloe and I, we do genuinely appreciate it.
