You are doing so well with the gym:j
I mananged to get out for a walk with OH tonight, only 4 miles but I needed to get my bum into gear. Was a bit chilly on our faces but we wrapped up warm and kept up a fair pace.
Glad we got up and did it though.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

It is nicer in the lighter evenings though.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
