Last year, Uwe and I went to Hamilton Island for a long weekend. We spent time relaxing by the pool drinking cocktails, played mini golf and went sailing. It was a great trip up until the part where I broke my foot. We had just spent a couple of hours sailing to Whitehaven beach and I went down below to get my towel and bag when I fell down a step. In that split second, the holiday had ended. The next day we were flying home and spending countless hours at St Vincents Hospital waiting for xrays and getting a cast put on.
Obviously, with a broken foot, there was no sailing for me for a while. Actually, there wasn't much happening at all, just resting my foot and recovering. Since then, I had lost my motivation to exercise and the weight had gradually piled on. It was on Saturday night that finally gave me the motivation back to get fit and lose the weight. Its when you go to your cupboard to choose something nice to wear out to dinner and you realise most of your clothes are just too tight!! That was Saturday night!
So it has begun, the fitness regime. Uwe is definitely with me in the training as he has come to the same realisation as me. So, on Sunday we got our bikes out of the bike cage (had to clean all the dust off them and pump the tyres as they hadn't been used for quite a while) and we rode them from Rushcutters Bay to Bondi Beach and back. Wow!! It was alot of fun and very exhausting. There were lots of steep hills which I couldn't ride up, I ended up having to walk the bike up them. Thankfully, Uwe was really patient with me. Uwe had a quick dip at the beach before we headed back home.
