Mike's International Walking Team



As you can see I have also discovered the bighugelabs from Miss Mike too.

I have joined the fabulous Pip's intentional walking team, starting Day 1 on building my walking addiction. I fear I am still at step 1-denial, but Poppy and I set out regardless.

The weather was meant to be 15 and sunny, a good start I thought. I don't know where they measure this rating but I think they are somewhere out of the wind under a granny blanket because there is no way it was either 15 or sunny. My partner in crime and I set off, you can even see my moving feet, off we went to the park (my favourite time of year in Melbourne, love those flowers) said a quick hello to the ducks and off we went. I was assured that at the end I had earned a guilt free treat so I stopped for a hot chochie (with skim milk) and I even donated my marshmallows to a very happy Poppy. Back off home again, what is the draw with children and pressing the walk buttons. Only 20 more days to go and I am sweet - Feet don't fail me know. I must admit I am still recovering from the flu so I was only at 75% but I figure I had to push 10kgs of dead weight, I mean child too.

More sewing too - Another pair of boy pants, with the cutest little Japanese puppy pattern and contrasting orange stripe bottom. I am planning to make a matching backpack in the orange with a puppy pocket.
Also a purple dress with Japanese fabric detailing that I was waiting for my covered buttons to finish off. It looks so sweet on and I love the colour.

Hurrah! I've updated the team on your efforts over at the facebook group! I love your photos! Awesome job Mini-walker too (although that looked a wee bit easier!)

I absolutely love that purple dress! I would so wear that if you made it in an adult size, haha!

Good work on day one of the walking challenge! I sort of maybe forgot to do that today...oops!

I thought it was supposed to be a nice day today too....so much for that!
Yah to you for starting already....I'm just barracking from the sidelines.
I agree with Kerry on the purple dress.

Oh wow - those pants - that dress - they're both just gorgeous! I love the way the orange colour comes up through the back of the pants. Oh, and actually I made myself a purple linen dress early this year that does look quite similar to this one. And I love it too :P

Fantastic pants and dress. They are really cute.

Good luck with the walking challenge. Great pictures you took along the way!

Thanks for your comment. I definitely need a partner to "encourage" me to exercise, but since I haven't yet found anyone, that's my excuse. I need the guilt of letting someone else down to motivate me - how poor is that! I love the comment on your profile too - sleep, ah I remember those days...
