"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

Remember me?

Hi there,

Well I am on my iPad and can't work out how to go to the dashboard! So I have no idea when I last wrote or what I was up to, forgive me if I repeat myself.

I got a foot injury, nothing major, just an 'overuse' pain in the tendons under my foot.

That, combined with having no luck joining or creating a team, led me to defer my 100km walk until 2013.

Instead I have started running. Barefoot. I need to get my basic fitness levels better. So I was planning to run the 14km run4thekids in April. As my foot is still quite painful, and as barefoot running takes more time for your body to adjust, I am likely to only run part of the 14km. But I have no issue with that. I am getting fitter and stronger. I will be much better prepared for the 100km walk training when I recommence mid year.

I just this week went back to weight watchers after some fairly disastrous photos taken last weekend. Success is mixed. I ate most of my 'weekly' allowance last night in an unplanned mini binge. Pretty bad for day 3. But it is recoverable. And I reminded myself that if doing this was easy nobody would be obese... I seem to struggle when it gets hard, shocked and surprised that I can't lose weight without sacrifice. I need to accept that it will require sacrifice. And change. What do they say... Something abut the definition of crazy is doing the exact same thing and expecting different results?

Not sure if anyone is reading after however long it has been... If you are please say hi.
