I'm a bit late with this tonight, I've been busy on the walking forum. I wanted to know how to work out the distances I walk, and some kind member pointed me in the right direction of a really good web site. I can mark out the route on a map with the mouse, and hey presto it comes up with the mileage. Yesterday I walked 9.5 miles. And today I have walked 5.25 miles into town, I didn't think it was as far as that. It takes me 1 hour 40 minutes, which is about right for the average of 3 mph.
Anyway, I am going to go back over my previous walks and start logging my miles. It will be interesting to work out some totals, maybe for the week or month. I can see this spurring me on to do longer walks, and maybe walk a bit faster.
I bought another OS map from W H Smiths, and while I was in there I spotted a special offer on Cadbury's chocolate 140g. They were 80p each or two for £1. I thought that was a good buy so treated myself to two bars, one for now, and one for later. Then I had an idea. I usually give my next door neighbour some chocolate for feeding my cats when I am away, so I bought another 8 bars for £4.
I have started to eat one bar, well I did buy it for myself, but I have put the other nine bars in the fridge, to save for John next door, and Janet my friend who also comes in. I may have set myself an impossible task here, not to touch the chocolate in the fridge. I wonder how long I will last before I cave in? To be honest I would find climbing a mountain a lot easier than keeping my mits off the choccy, it's going to be one hell of a challenge. I'm going to need your encouragement when I am in danger of falling off the wagon. Please shout at me if I eat the chocolate.
Freedom to speak.

It's going to be hard for me to say stop put that chocolate back when I'll be thinking go Ilona eat it or better still, a little bar on one of your walks as a reward, is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a little reward, I wonder if I could? ;->
ReplyDeleteI read this last night and must have been left with a subconscious message as I bought chocolate today and I rarely do! I thought it was good value so bought some 70% cocoa choc!
ReplyDeleteput some stickers on with the names it is for,it is much harder to eat johns chocolate if you see what I mean because you have mentally given it to him already
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea She dragon. I have pushed it to the back of the fridge and piled other stuff in front of it so I can't see it. Out of sight out of mind.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that you have given up chocolate for Lent Ilona - you know that self-denial is character building!
ReplyDeleteMyself, I've given up vacuuming the stairs :O)
