Enjoying Winter activities

We've been having a blast here in Doxieville :o)

My friend N took us up to a local beauty spot in the snow...might not sound like a big deal but we couldn't have got to it in a normal car as it was on top of a BIG hill lol...he has a lovely monster of a 4x4 so we did it easy!

DS followed his Mother's good example and had driving lessons in the snow!

We've been climbing, Woohoo! N and J have been threatening to take us for ages...last Monday after softening us up with a day of Xmas shopping and lunch out they sprung it on us that we were going that evening...they already had all their gear in the car, so there was no chickening out lol...it was a first for DS and I. I managed to get to the top and touch metal which I was mightily proud of!!! It was minus 4 degrees and with no gloves it was no mean feat! In the end the place closed a bit early because of the extreme cold!  N and J said I did really well and I surprised them by being totally ache free the next day, which I put down to the fact that I've been doing my weights again. I've also dropped to 8st 4lbs so I guess there is not much of me to heave up lol. Can't wait to go again :o) I was scared when I first thought of going but now I am mega keen!

This week it was our last chance to go skating before Christmas with a group of friends so I bundled DS and J into the Doxiemobile and we met up with everybody for a good hour of fun and exercise. It was more tiring than the climbing lol...later N joined us for dinner and we spent an amusing evening vegging in front of the television until they slunk off about midnight, oops!

I'm enjoying getting more active again, roll on the lighter evenings when you can cram more out of the day!

Hope everyone has been finding time to get out and about. I can't believe it is Christmas in a few weeks, I've kinda put all the preps on hold, but I'd rather be living in the now any way lol.
