Goodness, it’s *checks watch* the 17th of January which means I have done approximately 34 hours of exercise since New Years Day! I’m still holding out about the not weighing thing but my clothes definitely seem a bit looser, especially around the middle.

Due to a wheezy chest I’ve been mainly keeping to flat ground but yesterday I went for a much anticipated walk up Pendle Hill. Starting off from Barley at 8am, I finally reached the top about 10am. It was a blustery, drizzly day and I really struggled at times on the steep path to the summit. I wore my new size *mumble* bright pink look-I’m-a-proper-walker Regetta coat and I even managed to get it zipped up all the way up which was handy considering the weather conditions. I still haven’t got round to buying a good pair of walking trousers so I ended up wearing some linen things which I managed to ruin within 20 minutes of setting off by sliding on some mud and ending up on my arse.

Ate a granola bar on the way up but wasn’t really that hungry until the second I changed my clothes in the loos at Barley when I could have suddenly ate a scabby cat. Luckily I found a little cafe so I was able to snaffle a bit of breakfast – scrambled egg on toast has never tasted soooooo good. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera which is a shame because despite the drizzle the views were as breathtaking as ever.
