Summer is coming

Doesn't that view look good?

Here is my annual, get your butt off the couch, get moving post. Summer is coming.

As I sit here and type I can hear a lawn-mower doing it's job, now that's a sign.

It's nearly time when we shed some layers (and winter was so cold this year that I have indeed been wearing a heap of layers), do some social activity (water skiing, golf, lawn bowls, tennis) and enjoy this beautiful weather. Even though I personally think the best time to exercise is in winter because 1. It heats you up, umm win there. 2. Your body is ready to be flaunted in Spring not just Summer, and 3. If you keep exercising you get to buy more joggers, my fave.

Anyway, if we have let ourselves go a bit over winter. Hibernated slightly by cold fires, warm comfort food and layers, layers, layers. Now is the time to do something about it. Get some layers off, get outside and get moving. If you start now, you will be ready by summer.

Increase that exercise and burn those kilojoules, decrease the kilojoules consumed. Think salads and cuts of meat not mashed potato and pasta. And there this your food and exercise plan for Spring.

In my mind, Spring is about enjoying the outdoors, feeling the heat on your skin and sweating up a fest with the increased temperature. So get out there and enjoy it.

If you are struggling for motivation, don't forget there is always The Challenge. This will get you going kicking and screaming if need be, and if you don't turn up well you get harassed by me (text and phone calls). Check out Five on Facey for more details.

Whatever you choose to do be it swinging that golf club (just not drinking in it), bowling that lawn, hitting that tennis ball, overheating on that squash court, or joining me for an adventure, get out there or in the words of Nike 'Just Do It' or in the words of Michelle Bridges (Biggest Loser fame) "Just F'n Do It (not sure what the F is for???). Get moving!!

See you out there this week!!

P.S. The irony of this beautiful shot is that it was taken in Winter. Still pretty though.
