Lent week 3 results

I ate a couple of bacon & egg breakfasts, had a restaurant meal, two roast lamb dinners and a shepherd's pie so unsurpisingly I gained 0.6 kg in week 3. I did however walk a distance of 60.24 km giving a cumulative total of 204.93 km

I'd originally planned to walk 1 hour every other day which would have given me a total of 168km for the 6 weeks. I've surpassed that already, I just need to eat less from now on until Easter.

Lent Walking Regime Day 20

An early walk this morning combined with a meander around Den Haag at lunch time gives me a total of 10.33 km travelled today.

I don't think I'll have lost any weight this week however seeing how I've been drinking and eating big meals. I'm still off the bread though.

The folks are over and we've had a trip out to Essen in Germany so I've missed a day walking ( I got tempted into the pub early by my Dad) Friday I walked 13.80 km and Sunday was a mere 8.67 km

I'm still off the bread though.

My parents are over so I don't want to waste quality time so I kept my walk short - I only walked 8.63 km today, but I managed an average speed of 6.85 km which is quicker than normal. Chicken & rice tonight as I'm still off the bread.

Lent Walking Regime Day 14 was a 4.45 km dander along the canal at lunchtime and a 6.34 km walk in the evening, added to the 2 km car-work-car trip gives a total of 12.79 km for the day.

In the 2nd week I walked a total of 84.97 km, a cumulative total of 144.69 km so far.

I started week 2 at 97.6 and this morning I was 94.8 which means I've lost 2.8 kg this week giving a total loss of 4.1 kg

I've kept off the bread for a whole fortnight now.

Lent Walking Regime Day 13

I took advantage of the sunny weather (very cold but nice and bright) and went for a walk from Leidschendam to Stompwijk and then back by way of the bird sanctuary, a distance of 13.41 km.

I'm also still off the bread.

We have a crap cat

2010-02-28T19:14:26Z

Suze has a cat that we call cat even though her real name is fluffy - she's a crap cat.

She won't play with string or cat toys or all the normal stuff that cats play with. She will however for some stange reason play with a stick of spaghetti if dropped on the kitchen floor.

She's 18

She'll wake us up for no reason at 3am. When Suze has her day off the cat will pester her to get up and once she's up the cat wil go and go back to sleep - mission accomplished.

Did I say she ws a crap cat ? We have a mouse in the house. The cat doesn't know this, the cat is oblivious to the fact. I bought traps and (live and killers - I gave the mouse the choice whether it wanted to live or die) the mouse is dead - the cat didn't even know it was in the house.

Fluffy - you're a crap cat.

Lent Walking Regime Day 11 & 12

Yesterday I managed to dodge the rain and walked total distance of 13.55 km but tday I got thoroughly soaked but walked a total of 15.67 km.

I saw a lot of wildlife this weekend, a stork on a nest, 2 raptors, 5 pheasants and a couple of goldfinches.

(edit) I've consulted my bird books and I'm pretty sure the raptors were buzzards.
