It’s quite interesting writing about things that are regular things in my life, it allows me to focus on the ‘why’. This week I am\u00a0writing\u00a0about ‘Eating Lunch Away From My Desk’.<\/p>\n
As the title may suggest, a park bench is a fabulous place to eat lunch, not only do I get to walk a little bit, I get to enjoy the wonders of nature, which has a calming effect at the same time. A double whammy!!<\/p>\n
Sit, eat, ponder and relax and time to journal too. What more could someone ask for in the middle of the day. I need to search out some more venues for lunch though, so will investigate over this coming week and let you know what I find. Or if you have a suggestion, let me know.<\/p>\n
Monday and Tuesday saw the park near the bus station (Dane John Gardens) as the venue of choice to munch away on my chicken legs (I don’t have chicken legs, I was eating chicken, oh you get the point). Anyway, Wednesday after feeling a little under the weather I decided that I would lunch on the second floor of Augustine House as I was below par in the energy reserves. So, by using the stairs I was still able to engage in some activity, although not as much as I would have liked.<\/p>\n
Thursday and Friday saw me wandering around the town getting some shopping items and popping into Chaps to book a haircut. All in all, I walked in excess of 55,500 steps this week. This has resulted in moving yet another notch on my belt. New belt needed soon. I haven’t weighed myself as I feel the weight isn’t the important thing, it’s how I’m feeling. AND I FEEL GREAT!!!!! Those endorphins really have a positive effect.<\/p>\n
So, walk a bit and\u00a0lunch out of the office where possible, added together equals another great couple of ways to feel good and motivate oneself to lose those extra pounds, inches, etc.<\/p>\n
If anyone feels like they want to get out and about at lunchtime, let me know and we can motivate each other.<\/p>\n
