Enjoying the beautiful autumn days

As we wait for the reports and a decision about the future course of my medications, I tried to set a work out schedule for myself. Getting back to the gym after almost 2 years needs a LOT of motivation :( - especially for an outdoor person like me.

Thankfully, the weather has been very nice. Its been a warm and relatively dry late October. I've been making the most of it - riding my mountain bike. 
  • Saturday: 16.98 Kms 
  • Sunday: It rained all day so did all the home chores
  • Monday: 13 kms 
  • Tuesday: 9.24 Kms
  • Wednesday: 20 Kms (indoors in the gym)
  • Thursday: I took it a bit easy and went for a walk in the wine yards instead for 5.20 Kms 
  • Friday: I had all intentions to go to the gym again. Before that, I went to my office and saw all these lean/slim good looking people and my 'damaged goods syndrome' (as Lori Hartwell puts it) took over. Depressed - I just got back home and continued working :( 
I know that perhaps I am not pushing myself enough to see some encouraging signs of weight loss. I also know the kind of perseverance needed and the time it takes. So, my efforts are going to be sincere, but I am sure I will have days like today when my mind will not be with me. Thankfully, my husband (V) plays the role to push and encourage me...

Here are some pictures of the wonderful, sunny autumn days I have been taking advantage of to exercise and recover - on days like these I certainly don't need much pushing to get out and get some exercise.
