Out of the 130's!!!! + Pics from Weekend

OOooh as of today I am officially out of the 130's and into the 120's (just) - weighing in at 129.5kg! Total weight loss todate is: 34KGS!!! Am really happy and to be honest quite surpirsed, I have been at home unwell over the last 3 days with MANFLU !
I managed to walk down the road to the chemist yesterday to get some cold and flu tablets and almost passed out! Feeling like im on the mend today, am even going to go back into work this afternoon for a couple of hours.

I did manage to get a few great walks in last weekend which must have helped the loss, Sat morning I got up early and went back to the zoo (go the annual pass!) and walked for a couple of hours, I then met up with my mates Rachel and Ross and we went for a walk around western Springs together. Sat afternoon I met up with my mate Sarah and we went for a walk around the Auckland Winter and Botanical Gardens, quite beautiful there! Sat night I went for a 3km walk/run around mt Albert...in hindsight Saturday was all about the walking!

Sunday Morning I got up early because it was a beautiful day and drove to mission bay, parked up roadside just as you enter mission bay (by the weird steel survivor style foot bridge) chucked my ipod on (think throwing it in the air and it magically lands on my ears and in my pocket like a fancy tv ad) and walked all the way round the bays up to ladies and gentlemens bay lookouts (and my favourite house in Auckland) and then back again - clocked in at about 7km.

Walked Monday morning and was joined by Amy monday night, we had a great run. Tuesday morning got up early and went for my morning mission but later that morning got hit by the MANFLU so that was that..
Some pics below from my weekend walks and the zoo..
Hope all is well with everyone!
Peace.
