Julie -mid week 4

Spent Easter with a friend at a music festival 6 hours south of Sydney.
Employed my credo – walk, eat, love, laugh
Pedometer – total for entire Easter was 16,860 which is about one normal day!
Thoroughly enjoyed myself and loved the music.
A beauiful part of the world.

Julie’s starting point …

I walk to and from work but not always at the required speed. Do that this week.
Don’t drink much water at all. Have a bottle at work and a jug at home. Empty both daily.
