Barnaby's Adventure
My daughter got to bring Barnaby Bear home from school for the holidays. I was working for most of the holidays so we did not really get chance to go anywhere or do anything really exciting. Olivia needs to take pictures of his adventures and complete his diary before returning to school on Monday (my children have had two weeks off, not just the usual one as they put all their PD days together).
As it was a lovely evening on Thursday we decided to go on a 4 mile walk taking Barnaby with us. I thought we could kill two birds with one stone as it would help me with my exercise and weight loss programme and capture some photographs of Barnaby.
At the start of the walk Olivia was quite happy running with Barnaby.
After Barnaby managed to climb to the top of a concrete post Olivia gave him a cuddle and congratulated him x
Barnaby got a little hot on the way so Olivia took his top off and Barnaby asked if he could hold Steff's hand as well as Olivia's.
Barnaby had great fun climbing in the trees.
Barnaby loved scratching his back on a big rock and it took Olivia a while to get Barnaby to leave the rock and continue his adventure.
It began to get a bit chilly on the way back so Olivia put his jumper back on. After a lot of cuddles from Olivia Barnaby fell asleep, so mummy carried him home. Our adventure took three and a half hours and when we got back Barnaby was not the only one that fell asleep.
Barnaby might not have loads to write in his Diary but it might be the first time he has appeared in a blog post so that might be fun.

New me - Week 3
Yesterday was my weigh in day at my GP surgery. I have been healthy eating now for three weeks and 2 days. I was over the moon when she told me I had lost a stone!! Wehey I am really pleased and can't believe it is just a case of eating breakfast and watching my food groups.
Tonight I went swimming and managed 40 lengths!! I am improving each time I go. One of our main leisure centres opens this weekend and I can't wait to try the new pool. My daughter and I are thinking of going to an aqua aerobics class and I have heard they also do aqua zumba which sounds fun. If anyone has been to these I would love to hear your comments.
I would love to go running as a few of my friends do but I think I would need a few bras on to stop getting black eyes and I need to learn how to breath properly whilst running. I could try fast walking. Any ideas on how I should start would also be appreciated.
Well I better get some sleep as I will probably be aching tomorrow.
