I know that I am more likely to go on a walk, even in nasty weather, if it is included in a group of tasks that I have agreed with myself to do. As well as this, when I have an eating theme in place I find that I am less likely to respond to the nasty weather by eating foods that are not part of that theme.
Today when I looked out the window and saw some very nasty weather I knew a choice had to be made. I chose to go on the walk. Yes I know, I know, how goody three shoes of me!
I could have done with three shoes, that is for sure. I experienced a strong wind that was forcing sleety drizzle, and me, sideways. I could barely hold my footing or my umbrella. Despite this indisputable sample of weather nastiness I am delighted to report there was no need for any barbecue crisps or chocolate ripes because I could look forward to a generous amount of food straight after my walk. A typical “Porkust” lunch. A bread roll with ham, lettuce, tomato and onion on it, followed by a piece of fruitcake and some fresh grapes.
