My head is in a spin my feet don't touch the ground!!
Gosh I feel good about myself at the moment as far as this Moon Walk is concerned. I'm not sure if its the endorphins of exercise or hearing and seeing everyones reactions to my 'news'!
I did 6 miles over 2 sessions on Monday 2.5 miles in the morning taking me 51 minutes and then and afternoon session of 3.5 miles which took me an hour. That's a combined total of 6 miles in 1 hour 51 minutes- not bad for a first session I thought.
Tuesday I did 20 lengths of the pool and a little water aerobics to stretch out my muscles.
Wednesday I was back on the treadmill with another 6 miles under my belt which I did in one session this time and it took me 1 hour 42 minutes (burning 461 calories so the little machine said lol).
I've listened to all the words in every song I've listened to on my iPhone. I've laughed and I've cried. I'm sure there will be more of that coming.
I must say at this moment in time I'm just LOVING the words of 'Gimme Gimme Gimme'
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
With the Moonwalk starting at 00:00 I just think its just so poignient.
So far I've just walked on Abba songs but I'm sure by the time Caz comes at the weekend she will have a full list of songs for me to download!
I've been talking to Andy too and he is going to work out a training programme for me too so I'm just so excited for them to come at the weekend.
Super Trouper was the last song I listened to before I finished my session for the day, and my SUPER trainer is arriving to help me start my journey into fitness for the fabulous experience that will be the moonwalk... (I have to inform you that Andy has just inserted this paragraph but how on earth can I delete it on him, bless xx)
Two of our best friends have moved in together today and I wish them both all the luck in the world. Tammy you are one in a million and have been with me through thick and thin, from the bottom of my heart thank you. Al , we've got to know you so well over the last 10 months and thank you too for being there for us too. May our friendship grow ever stronger.
So I am now going to to pop the bubbles with them (along with Caz and Andy) and I'm going to have a fantastic weekend.
God bless

ReplyDeleteBut... I'm sure it'll be more a case of Bachman Turner Overdrive's..."You ain't seen nothing yet" for the weeks ahead as you go on to smash your targets!
Another great Eleanor, (Eleanor Roosevelt) said..."We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot."
It takes courage guts and determination to do what you need to do to reach your goals... You can do it girl!
