its better then the takeway I had been living on!
And in those 10 words from Lea is a world of wisdom.....

It's better......we are not striving for perfection - that's too hard......we just need to do better in small steps and over the months, we can look back and we will be heaps better!!

I took myself off to Olympic Fitness today in search of weights to wear in a backpack. I wanted 20 kilos of weights which will really show me how much I have to lose. I got a really good deal. $50 for 2x11 kilo dumbells. They have screw off ends so you can make them whatever weight you want to but I want to start packing them into a backpack and walking with them next week. I really like this idea. That will burn extra calories!!

When I am not using them, DH can use them to build some biceps and shoulders!! He needs some shaping too. Not that he is fat. He is an ultra runner so he is lean - has good legs and butt but a slim upper body.....his reasoning being you don't want to be dragging a load of muscle around when you are running 50km......I can understand that......I can't run 5km let alone 50km.....

I also checked out water bottles at my local IGA - I am sure the bigger supermarkets have a lot more variety. But there are reasonable size bottles in 1.5 litre, 4 litre and 5 litre sizes that will fit in backpacks for those that want to get and idea what it will feel like to lose those kilos.

I must admit, carrying my 22 kilo dumbells to the car in the box was something. They were really heavy and it sure gave me a really good idea of what I wanted to lose. The guy in the shop asked if I wanted help and I said no......and then told him that the rules of the shop shoud be if you can't carry it to the car, you aren't allowed to buy them.....that gave him a laugh on what looked like a quiet day for him!!
