Deeside Way
18th June - Lucy and I walked from Riverside East to Duthie Park, via Allenvale, and then out to Crathes. Approx 16 miles. Beautiful day. Very stiff afterwards. I think I could have managed another mile or so. We got a lift home from John.

Not an ounce off. However, the ongoing attempt to get fitter has gone better. At the start of the year, going to the gym was a pointless exercise because it took an hour to drive there and back, and faff around getting changed, and I couldn't exercise for more than 10 mins before I was puffed. So the whole thing seemed pointless. I've started walking to the gym (4.4 miles) I can now manage 16 mins and 30 secs before getting puffed. And then I walk home (unless it starts to sleet, in which case I take the bus, or someone spots me and gives me a lift (thanks, Sandra!) )
The actual gym bit is still pretty pathetic, but sandwiching it between two walks, rather than driving, stops it from feeling entirely pointless.
Also, I can now walk to Inverurie and back without having to revive myself with a coffee and a fine piece in the Dairy!
Onwards and downwards into April!

Buggeration!! Not a single short sleeved top looks good. How has this happened? I was wearing these when I was 10lbs heavier. All these tops will still fit at 14 1/2 stones. I'd have to be massively lighter for any of them to be "too big" Bugger, bugger, bugger.

Church dresses
Planning on rotating my church dresses for more variety.
7/6 - Purple / blue / black size 18 and bit frumpy.
14/6 Black and white striped size 20. Love this, but it's a good fit now, so no idea why I thought I fitted into it at 16 stone 5.
21/6 Black with daisies size 18. Would look better if I was carrying less weight.

It's not been a great month, exercise wise. I had a twingy right knee, so cut back on walking and went swimming. Swimming converted the twingy right knee into a twingy right hip. However, I have enjoyed a couple of great walks, and also enjoyed getting back in the pool.
Also, the twingy leg is a steady reminder that my weight is doing my joints no favours at all. So perhaps June will be a more focussed month.

Size 18 jeans!
Bought two new pairs of size 18 jeans from M&Co on Thursday, and wore one pair today. I am delighted with them!
Went to Taste of Grampian and didn't go mad tasting things. Bought some high-calorie rosemary and honey peanuts in the hope that a very little will go a long way.
