Pumpkin Soup

Lounging with the Blankies...

Making soup. Cosying down. Grannying along….

Gosh. It’s freezing here today. Why so cold, Mr Weatherman?! Sheesh. So. Just between you and me, I bailed on my exercise program last time I started. I know. It’s shameful. But I’m only human, after all and I just could not be bothered. It’s true. I decided it was nicer at home in bed at 6am. I know. Hard to believe, huh? I’m a bad role model in the exercise department, let’s just get that out there from the get go.

SO… My point is that Blogtoberfest and Frocktober are not the only thing that started on 1 October. I actually decided to mix things up and start my walking again. Walktober, if you like. This time, it’s in the afternoon and Ari is coming too. He likes the chance to spend a half hour tearing about on his bike in the park. I like the company. It’s nice that Ari comes too, because we get to do something fun together, and I don’t feel as bored and silly.

I always feel a bit goofy when I exercise. It just makes me giggle. I suppose it’s kind of like I’m not really a very serious fitness kind of girl… and so I feel like a bit of a fraud. Which is silly, right? I mean a half hour walk is hardly comparable to running a marathon or planting a flag atop Everest. Well. It is to me, I guess. Anyhow, it’s just a walk.. no biggie, right? I’m not painting myself as some sort of athlete. I’m not wearing sweatbands. I don’t do lunges against the traffic lights. I’m not wearing bike shorts. I’m just taking a walk. Nothing to see, peeps.

Well… not much to see. Although there WAS a lady with a facelift running in very tight pants, red lipstick and a surprised expression. And there WAS an earnest lass muttering ‘good girl’ to her peeing pug dog. And I did spot the world’s hottest 50 year old couple swinging their arms at break-neck speed as they wiggled their perfect tushes around the park. But apart from that, look away… nothing to see at all.. just walking.

Things you should know :: I will say that I may not walk each day. I will also say that I may not stick at it. But what I will say is that I will try. Sometimes. If I can. I will. Truly. Unless I don’t.
