Rabbit Thought of the Day

Blue skies, sandy beach and a dozen people that’s what it was like at Walton on Naze yesterday. Well perhaps a few more than 12 people but it certainly wasn’t busy. Although the bank holiday was finished I would have expected more people than there was. While were in a café, the owner mentioned that it had been very quiet throughout the summer and the bank holiday was very disappointing.

With the credit crunch I would have thought more people would holiday in this country and although Walton is not exactly like Blackpool or Brighton it is a nice place to visit. It the credit crunch lingers on than perhaps next year it will be better for these small seaside towns.  

Just a sample picture of our trip yesterday to Walton on the Naze, my pictures in the photography group and of course in media files. The picture shows just how much the coast is eroding in this area. These pill boxes were at one time on top of cliffs now they are on the beach some 100m from the cliff.

I had my weekly weigh last night and its good news once again; I have lost another 3 pounds this week. Brining my total weight loss in six weeks to 22 pounds, I have an appointment with the nurse in two weeks on the 9-Sep and I would like to have lost 2 stone my then. That means I need to lose another 6 pounds in the next two weeks, but I am losing an average of 3 pounds a week so fingers crossed I should be ok.

My diet is still going very well and of course if I keep up my exercise routine then I should have no problem.

I have now been back from my bike ride for a little over 2 hours, I have showered and changed and managed to read the newspaper, and now I have gained control of the computer while Caz is reading and listening to music.

It was quite hard work this morning there was a strong wind blowing directly into my face which slowed me up some what, and while my legs were a little stiff before I started they are definitely worse now, still I have a few hours before I start again, tonight we are having an extra swimming session and I will be back on bike tomorrow.

Another grey start to the day, I hope it turns out he same way as yesterday. I have just dragged by aching body of my bed, and am now getting ready for another exercise session. I am sure it’s doing me good, but this morning it doesn’t feel that way. I will be okay once I get out. Sometimes it is difficult and you don’t feel doing it, but you have to work through these difficult days and not give up. Because if you succumb and give up then all the hard work will come to nowt.

Hopefully I will get the chance to post some pictures later this morning of my day trip to Walton on the Naze.
