from the mouths of babes…
Thanks for the encouragement Spike!, I certainly felt a bit more energetic on my off day yesterday, and I can empathise with the extra heart activity!
On Sunday and Today I managed to avoid walking in the morning and ended up doing night time walks. I don’t think I can win whether its night or morning. At night I give myself the creeps because we live in a dark and leafy suburb and so I am constantly paranoid about having a spider of enormous proportions drop on my head, and in the mornings…well I just hate them, mornings that is!!! Ooh well enough whining and more walking.
Kelly’s comment about being an example to my son really hit the mark, if I am honest with myself he is the reason I started this process. I have plenty of motivation from many aspects of my life to do this, but he has been the catalyst. I don’t want to sound morbid but being around while he grows up is a real motivator in getting off my arse and getting out there, as is having the energy to keep up with him. On a lighter side, he is motivating in other ways too.
We were sitting next to each other the other day when I asked him if he was hungry, he replied that he was. He then said “Daddy you can’t be hungry your belly is sooo big and full” the worst part of this is him making this comment while rubbing my belly and looking up at it like he was the first person to look up and really notice how big Everest is, it was a very disconcerting feeling.
Tomorrow is weigh in day, so I’ll let you all know how I go sometime tomorrow.

Hi
I’ve been walking every night for about a month…and can vouch for the extra energy levels. I think what you’re doing is great and helping me to stick to my plan. I find I sleep better when I walk at night so I do night walks. I have agoraphobia so going out to walk for health has to be really motivating as it’s so difficult for me to do. I can also relate to your son’s comments. My daughter told me I looked like Homer Simpson!!! 
She said it lovingly…but it really hit home!
I’ve lost 3 kg since starting. I’ve lowered my cholesterol levels and am generally happier. I have also changed my diet.
Good luck and keep up the good work. You’re my inspiration!!!
