I had a manic day yesterday so I didn't manage to get a blog post written. I was at Aldi first thing, stocking up on healthy food, then I had lots to do in work. I didn't get much exercise yesterday because in my lunch hour, rather than going out for a walk in the... Continue Reading →
It was a bit of a shock this morning when the alarm went off and it was still dark outside. No! It's too early to get up! After weeks of lying in until I'm ready to rise and shine, I had to drag myself out of my nice cosy bed and get the train to... Continue Reading →
John and I were back in work today after 6 weeks off, so we're now back in the routine of planning meals in advance and booking sessions at the gym. I expected this would make it easier to stick to my plan for losing the 6 kilograms I gained over the summer. However, I have... Continue Reading →
For day 2 of my weight loss challenge, we’ve had a 13 mile hike from Nant Mill, near Coedpoeth, Wrexham. The plan was to walk the uphills and jog the downhills, and we pretty much stuck to that, taking about 4 hours 20 minutes to complete the route. I was quite pleased to get round,...

Day 1 has gone pretty well... but then I suppose day 1s generally do and it gets harder as time goes by and motivation wanes for one reason or another. Our bikes have been in for a service so John suggested a run up to Rhyl to collect them. Even though it's a flat cycle... Continue Reading →
I've put 5.4 kilograms (12 pounds) on over the last 6 weeks. Rachel and Richard looked after us really well in Tasmania, we've eaten out a lot, and I've been drinking alcohol every day, sometimes twice a day. We've also been doing relatively little exercise, with some easy walking but no running or weights. I... Continue Reading →
I feel the need to record the last couple of days for posterity because I've enjoyed them so much. Since Thursday lunchtime, we've visited Bodnant gardens, had dinner in Betws y Coed, slept under the stars in Bertie BoxLife, ridden on the Zip World Coaster, and had a BBQ to catch up with our next...

It was rather damp and drizzly this morning, and the forecast was for quite strong wind, but we’d planned a paddle so John and Dan discussed various options. They finally decided on a trip up the Cymyran Straits which, from John’s calculations, meant we’d be out of the wind and should be helped by the... Continue Reading →
We’re having a mini holiday on Anglesey, to meet up with friends and family, and try out Bertie BoxLife properly. I’d been a bit worried where all the food, clothes and kit would fit but it all went in easily and everything now has a logical place. Bertie now feels like home and we’re having...

Driving back to the airport, it only seems a few days since Rachel picked us up, not 3 weeks. The landscape that seemed so unfamiliar when we arrived, we now know is typical of Tasmania... beautiful green hills, long sandy beaches, tall trees and wooden buildings. I felt sad when the kids left for school,... Continue Reading →
