Time for a Maxine’s Challenge update. I can’t believe we’re at Day 3 of Week 8 already. As usual I’m loving the exercise programs, and have been following them almost to the letter. Have been doing weight training three times each week. As for cardio, it’s on the program three times each week. But I […]
Walk 9/150 The Monk
I set off for this walk, which is one of the walks in the 150 Walks in Victoria book, through Castlemaine, following the Pyrenees Hwy until reaching the Great Dividing Trail, just out of Chewton. Once at Chewton, the trail went into a forest, passing the Poverty Gully reservoir, before heading back to Castlemaine. I […]

Out and about
We have just had a much needed four day weekend. On Friday we decided to go to the Melbourne Zoo for a relaxing day. It’s one of our favourite places, but we don’t get there as often as we would like. One of our best times at the Melbourne Zoo was three years ago, when […]

The I Quit Sugar Program
I’ve always been a big fan of Sarah Wilson’s I Quit Sugar 8-Week Program which has been going for about seven years. I’ve watched this program grow from a small number of interested followers to what it is today – a hugely professional organisation, with an enormous number of participants. I’ve always thought of Sarah […]

Walk 8/150 Dargile State Forest
Today I had a welcome day off, so I headed out early to tick off another walk, for the 150 Walks in Victoria Challenge. This time, I headed over to Heathcote, about 45 minutes from home, by car, to walk in the Dargile State Forest. The forest features mainly stringybark, box and iron bark trees […]

Walk 7/150 Taradale
Taradale is a tiny community, about 45 mins drive from my house, on the old Calder Highway, between Bendigo and Melbourne. Being off the Freeway, I had never been there at all until today. Today’s walk around Taradale and it’s surrounding area, was one of the most enjoyable walks, so far from the 150 Walks […]

Are You Wasting Time?
Recently I stumbled across Christie’s blog called So what? Now what? Îwhen participating in a Midlife Share the Love Link Party hosted by Sue, author of another of my favourite blogs, Sizzling Towards 60 and beyond. One of the great things about participating in a blog link party, is the opportunity to meet fellow bloggers, […]

Walk 6/150 Black Hill Reserve
Because Walk 5 in Malmsbury was very quick and easy, I then drove on to the next town of Kyneton to tick off another walk. This walk was about 5k out of Kyneton, in the Black Hill Nature Reserve. The walk was a combination of three marked walks – The Circuit Track, The Ridge Track […]
