Hoorah!!! Today is my birthday so excited for the day! Today is the first birthday for a while that I've been excited about as I'm getting fit and healthy and have made sure I have a great day today!
I had started out going to go for a Beach Walk with Heather but her car wasn't in working order so she couldn't make it (and she lives too far away for me to go and get her) so I decided you know what I'm a big girl now I can do it on my OWN. I'm determined to do this and also do a PB! And a PB is EXACTLY what I did!!!! I took 1 hour 43 minutes! I had my Ipod cranking the tunes and power walking away. I would see some people ahead and me and then think ok all I have to do is beat them and eventually I would over take them and then find my next lot to overtake.
I got a call early that morning from a very dear friend Helen who suggested we have lunch as she saw that my friend Heather couldn't come so that was so lovely and motivated me even more to make sure I went really fast! It was a lovely lunch I ordered a warm chicken salad and we chatted away!
Couldn't resist taking this picture of one of the many pieces of art that is along the walking path - this guy offered to share his fish and chips with me but I refused! LOL
As lunch wasn't too far away from Harbour Town I thought I should go and just visit Lorna Jane so I can do some drooling and maybe try on a few things to see how much further I have to go until I own some of these. It is one of my goals! I tried on two tops that grabbed my attention straight away and they fit!!! OMG Happy Dance so excited!!! Happy Birthday to me indeed LOL!
For dinner as a family we went to Hogs Breath for dinner which was really exciting and I had been thinking about it all day they have the best steaks! I ate the steak and salad but none of the curly fries I didn't ask for them not to put them on my plate as I figured everyone else would eat them and they did.
If you tell them it's your birthday you get a free piece of mud cake which we all shared as a family which was great because I was really happy just to have a taste of it. So here it was and then about 20 seconds later - there it was.... tee hee!
I took this photo of the stairs as we were leaving and said you get the workout to get up there to start with so hopefully that's a few less calories burnt off before you climb the stairs!
