Let's Get Physical

I've made a big push this week to be more physically active.  It's been a family affair for the most part.  

On Monday we took the kids to the cycle park. I managed to cycle around with the kids for an hour or so on my granny bike with the basket on the front. I'm sure I looked like a granny too, but I enjoyed it!

On Tuesday headed to the local school pools and I squeezed in a few laps in between getting leapt on by the kids. It was refreshing to cool off from the heat but also energising to move through the water weightlessly.

On Wednesday evening we walked around an avocado orchard, harvesting avocados in the rain. It was a rewarding outing. Hopefully in a few days we will have ripe avocados to make guacamole. It wasn't has as strenuous an activity as the previous two nights, but it was still got the blood pumping.

Last night - I took a night off to do a non-physical activity and tonight I'm just chilling. The weekend will bring more outings with the kids, so I'll take advantage of that.

It's hard to tell exactly how much of a work out I'm getting. I'd like to get a Fitbit activity tracker at some stage soon to help me stay on track with my goals and motivate me to pick up the pace if I'm not getting in enough.

It's time for me to take my wellbeing to the next level and I'm keen to access as many tools as I can to help me achieve this.
