Come on spring, do your thing!!

Bored with cold weather now. And having heating now means you're never quite sure just how freezing it is going to be when you finally get outside - although currently it is fair to assume that 'bloody cold' will do.

Anyway, the headlines - got my new bike frame and took it to be powdercoated. Very giddy because that *might* be ready to collect today. Also, got my body fat and BMI under my first targets I had set. Don't get me wrong, I am still a fat knacker, just slightly less so...

We went for a walk in Rivelin Valley on Saturday - took our cameras and had a nice pootle around, snapping pictures off here there and everywhere and it was nice. I think I have almost got my photography mojo back. Yay. I've missed it. I hope this is the start of me getting a bit of get up and go back because I am fed up of lacking the motivation to do even the slightest thing. Fingers crossed, eh.

Anyway - here is one of my pics from Saturday. It cheered me up when I saw these little fellas, made me feel a little bit like spring is almost here...

Exercise wise:
In the past week I have stuck to my press up and sit up plans, I have turboed twice, been for a real bike ride once, been for a walk with some fairly decent hills and been for a 'run' this morning (I think I actually did walk most of it today). I still don't like running but I did do my best time so far for the route I did. It's only 4.5km, but it is hilly and horrible and I took 2 minutes off my previous time. I don't think I will ever enjoy running but it is a very handy way to get a quick stint of exercise in, and no muddy bike to wash when I get back. Maybe when it is a bit warmer and I can go out in shorts I will change my mind, we'll see...

Right, I'm off to work now. Whoop.
