Walking Challenge Achieved

I mentioned that I received a fitbit in the post the other day.
I have been challenging myself to reach the goal of 10,000 steps.

Last night before I went to bed I had around 300 steps to go. Being so close to achieving this goal and not knowing when I would be able to be this close again I had to do my best to walk just that little bit more. The only thing was it was almost midnight and the steps reset then.

I walked up and down the hallway and into the kitchen until I made it. I had two minutes to spare!

I have to admit though, My right knee is now paying for all of that walking. I seriously don't think I shall be able to make that many steps today. That being said though. I wont sit down and not move today. I just wont be going for a stroll with the boys today. I don't feel like it right now but it's still early yet. Who knows how I will feel later today.

Fun Outdoors

Brodie & I joined an exercise class this morning in town *shock horror* It was held outside in Civic Park. Although it was cold outside this morning I sure worked up a sweat. It was loads of fun & I didn't over do it. In fact Brodie & I shared lots of laughter as we "worked out" so it didn't feel like a work out.

I wanted to join a group so that I would get moving & not sit around so much. The main reason for this is I want to maintain my weight (or even lose a little more) and to keep getting good blood glucose levels so if that helps then I'll make this a regular thing. I'm not too sure yet though. I might be able to decide after another session or two.

After our session we went for a little walk around Civic Park to cool down a little and take some photos of the pond. Brodie used his new camera (he swapped his motor cycle helmet for Mark's point and shoot digital camera) and I used my phone.

Where we did our coreball exercise class

I love this little waterfall.

Not that you can see it but there was a beautiful parrot hiding in that tree.

I don't feel too bad after our little fun outdoors. Although I do feel like I could probably use a cat nap right now *yawn*. I checked my BGL when I got home and it was 5.4 mmol. Which I think is pretty good after brekky and exercising. I must have done something right (~_~)
