My first 10km walk...

The photo at the top is a screen shot from the app i use on my phone to map out my walks and how far i have gone.

When i first started on my weight loss journey in January 2012 i was struggling to walk 500 meters, Now a year later i am a lot fitter and tonight im proud to say my husky and i walked 10kms in 2 hours. Im so proud of myself for doing it. I know that with each step i take im walking away from the woman in the mirror that im not happy with and getting closer to the Fit healthy happy woman i know is inside me.
I weighed in this morning and im so happy with my progress this week.
Last Wednesday i weighed in at 147.5kgs and now today when i weighed in i weigh 143.9kgs. WHOO HOO Go Me! Thats a 3.6kgs weight loss in a week, Im very proud of that and i cant wait till im finally under 140kgs. So look out 140 im coming for you!
Its true it just goes to show that starting with small changes and little bits of exercise you really can achieve alot, If someone hadve told me this time last year that in a years time i would be able to walk 10kms i honestly wouldve thought they were mad. When i looked at the "Map my walk app" i have on my Iphone and i realised i had walked 10kms i was so excited, I havent been able to do that in one walk in about 10years.
I also havent used my Asthma puffer in a month, Slowly my lifestyle change is working, i can not only see myself changing but i also can feel my body changing as well.
Not only is the exercise good for my body and helping me achieve my goal but its great for stress as well.
Im finding on the days i dont workout i get cranky easy but on the days i workout my moods are alot better.
I need to get a boxing bag, Boxing is a awesome workout and of course its a great stress reliever  ;-)

Now that i have figured out how to add photos to my blog i will add some every now and then so those who wish to can follow my progress and i can share a little bit of my life with you.

My blog tonight proves that theres really no excuse for not exercising.
Im fighting Cancer and have heaps of health issues yet i still choose to exercise to strengthen my body and lose weight.
If i can do it you can too, Just remember to start small and work you way up. Every little bit counts, If i hadve given up on my first day then i wouldnt be where i am now and in another years time i hope to be the woman i know deep down i know i can be... Fit, Heathy, Toned, Happy and of course Cancer free...
You just wait and see in a year i will be all those.

Get out there and do it. I dare you.

Love Always
Mandy
