The year's gone quickly

Need more water, less iced coffee!

So I'm in the last fortnight of my thirties.  This sign pretty much sums up the situation at the moment.  Most, if not all, of my bad dietary habits have returned with a vengeance.  These could usually be counterbalanced (well, partly) with exercise but finding a balance recently has been difficult.  I'd rather be with my family.

Short of liposuction, I'm not going to meet my goal.  If I stay in this situation and maintain these bad habits, I may not be with my family as long as I want.  And that scares me.

But I have to concede this battle, but not the war.   

I've put some big changes in place already (though it's challenging to start when I've got the flu) but I post about them later.

Scenery on the walk

I've have been able to get a couple of bushwalks in though.  One of them was a walk in Adelaide from Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty return.  I grew up in Adelaide but this was a new walk for me.  This walk itself is 8km long, but it was 12km including getting back to the nearest bus stop.

The scenery on the walk and at the summit was great.  It nearly killed me - more than 500 metres of climbing.  The walk reminded me of Mount Ainslie (lots of people) and Mount Tennent (steep climb, short distance).  

Can't wait to kick this flu and be out on a track again...even on Mount Tennent!
