Currently on holiday in the Pyrenees and today we hiked to a mountain lake. Not only did I easily manage the 340m total ascent, I even managed to climb 200-250m carrying our backpack (probably 10kg/22lbs, BF usually carries it).
5 years ago I wouldn't even have tried this climb, I would have had to stop every few minutes to catch my breath!
In awe!!!!
My dream trip is climbing the route the downed flyers took over the Pyrenees to escape
Occupied France. My heroine, Nancy Wake, was involved in helping them escape, and eventually had to take that route herself to escape the Gestapo.
When I checked into it, the trip leader said I’d need extensive experience in mountains. We’ve only got foothills and Blue Ridge around here. 😢

I started walking at the mall, on my way home from work, last October. With a goal of 70,000 steps per week. In the spring I switched to walking outside. Last month I decided to try jogging. To try and cover the same distance in less time. turns out I'm not too bad at it. I can knock out 2 ten minute miles at the beginning of my route. And then alternate between walking and running as I feel up for it. For the other 6. I hope to get to where I can run the entire distance. But I fear I might start slacking off with winter approaching. I cant see myself slowly getting 8 miles inside the mall. And the thought of joining a gym and spending hours on a treadmill seems dreadful.7

Steps happen in surprising places. I get lots during a cardio class, or during an aquafit class, which involves a lot of jogging in water. People tend to pooh-pooh aquafit but you get out of it what you put into it. As my instructor put it the other day, “there’s always the talkers over there, the ones who don’t say anything or make eye contact over on the other side, and I can always count on you guys in the middle to be giving it everything you’ve got.”
I can easily get a whole bunch vacuuming the house. Your significant other might be overjoyed, too 😉5 -

Oh, don't confuse me with a real mountaineer, I do well hiking up a mountain on a fair trail (thanks to being fit), but I'm an absolute coward when it comes to hiking downhill. Probably a mix of fear of heights and the fact that I only started hiking at 22 years old, so I never acquired any true confidence in my footing like true hikers from a young age (like my BF).
Just today I threw a fit/ panicked because we were 400m up from our starting point and it started to rain - my incline tolerance is way lower going downhill than uphill and add some rain to that and I'm terrified of slipping.
Made it down in one piece (15km, 467m ascent), but a bit of a relationship test 😝 I don't think I'd ever dare take on a trail like the one you're talking about!4 -
I hadn’t realized how much my t shirts gathered/rested at the top of my hips until they started gliding down to their full length when I put them on 😆6

Last week, my job site offered pizza and donuts to increase morale (two of my biggest weaknesses in the past). I was able to walk up, stare them into submission, and walk away to my lunch I had brought from home, which incidentally has a sandwich bag of Oreos that has remained untouched in my lunchbox for going on three weeks now.9

Walking out of a store today, I heard a guy behind me: “Excuse me Miss?" ... I turned around and he followed up with: "I wanted to ask if you’re spoken for?” 😍 Oh my!6

Yesterday I took my training sweater off and trained in just my training-bra because I felt comfortable in my body. That has not happened before regardless of how warm and sweaty I have been.3

I was out with a meet up group and I was mentioning how cold it was in the venue, only one other person seemed to agree it was cold. Then one of the other ladies said to me 'it's because you don't have any body fat". My jaw almost hit the floor! What? I look like I don't have body fat? Definitely an NSV.3

I changed my goal weight from 60kg to 70kg to 80kg because I realised if I work on strength and muscles, I don't need to drop as much weight and I'll be able to eat more! My bmi will be higher, but I'll still look pretty lean if I keep working at it! I think I'm 173cms.0
