Hi Challengers,
I’ve been walking on Sunshine Beach, as the Noosa Triathlon is on this weekend. So Noosa Main Beach is busy, the roads are closed and it’s just easier to stay away. It gets pretty chaotic for a while and it is a great experience to be down there in amongst it. Just don’t need to do it every year.
- Misty at the beach
Sunshine Beach is just as beautiful! Much quieter room to walk on the beach easily. We went to the doggy beach where we use to take our beautiful Misty. She loved it there, running up and down the beach chasing balls, playing with strangers and frollicking with other dogs. She would have so much fun with us. Yes, we miss her…
So the walk was great, it feels fantastic and it didn’t rain on me. lol
I hope you are challenging yourself and enjoying the wonderful days of sunshine and warmth. I am.
By for now

Hey there Challengers,
So day one was a bit of a disaster, although it was fantastic to be up and down the beach at 5.30 am. Rain or not it is beautifully inspiring.
Today I decided not to go at 5am cause it looked like rain. Ha, I’ll go at 1pm when I finish work. This time I’m at the stunning Noosa river. I’m feeling great powering along and 15mins into my power walk, what happens you guessed it. It rained on me… Only this time it was a coastal shower and not to heavy. I did feel the drips running off my nose and my hair dripping but it was ok to continue and not to have to find shelter. I did it. This is a 40 min walk and it is just gorgeous to see the sparkling waters and the people enjoying it. They were skidaddling when it began to rain though.
So day 2 is complete.
Let’s see what tomorrow brings

Hi Challengers,
So yesterday I began my challenge to exercise for 30 days. Any kind of exercise suits me, a variety is awesome, so I won’t get bored with it and will continue to do it.
Ok sounds pretty easy yeah! Well yesterday morning at 5.am we are up, had tea and toast and off to Main Beach Noosa. Ready to walk the beach, it generally takes about 30mins up and back. Oh and don’t forget to touch the rocks at each end. haha!
It is 5 mins into the walk, sprinkles of moisture on me, is it just a passing seagull or is it rain? Arrrhhhhh Noooooo! It can’t rain on me. I have to walk, to get fit, to lose weight. Don’t they know I’m doing a 30 Days Challenge. So now its 10 minutes and I have identified it is a coastal scud. It will pass quickly, no worries. Ok now its 15 mins into the exercising regime and I’m jogging now as it is pouring on me. Yes pouring. I am soaked. It gets even heavier, I say enough’s enough and I run now, up to access 12 and call my hubby, who has been waiting for me in the car watching the waves rolling in at first point. And I’m sure he could tell I’d be wet…
I am now safely out of the rain, undercover and waiting for my lift. Well what happens next, he goes racing past and doesn’t even slow down. Ha Ha he’s just trickin me and I’m so wet, and then as he turns around and returns to pick me up, I open the car door and the rain stops. Completely! OMG.
Oh well there is always tomorrow
Yours in challenging times
Donna:)

Hey Challengers,
A new week is dawning, the world is awakening on my side of the earth. So many new opportunities to seek, so many new opportunities to create, so many new opportunities just waiting for us to recognize them and make the very most of them.
What opportunities will you see today? What opportunities will you act on today? Finding the opportunity in everything presented today is your challenge. Imagine the possibilites in every opportunity, imagine what you could achieve if you just saw the opportunity in all that you feel, do and see. Not just today but always…
To the challenge

Hey Challengers,
I got to thinking this morning while out masterminding with a friend. I am now continuing my journey of my 30 Days Challenges and although I am still working on my site here for you, I am thinking I should start a new challenge. Something I can do that is fairly easy, along side working on my site.
So I came up with a few ideas…Excercise regime? Ok so I know I want to start some kind of exercise but what should I do? Walking, swimming, running, gym, high impact aerobics, taibo, kickboxing, boxing, yoga, hot yoga maybe, netball, tennis, bikeriding, hiking, outrigging, sailing, tai chi, standup paddling?
The list is endless with all the opportunites I have around me. I walk almost daily, umm, swimming that would be nice as its getting warmer, but not warm enough, hot yoga, well I have tried that and it was awesome, I don’t think I could do it for 30 days straight just yet, it’s hard work but it worked for, my weight control, my strength and my overall body toning.
So I can’t decide what to do its so hard. I wonder if I could do something different every day. Sounds good, variety, yay might give that a go, do hot yoga one day, walk one day, swim one day, tai chi one day, standup paddling one day, taibo one day and I probly should stretch one day. That would be the day of rest I reckon after all that exersion all week. WOW it sounds good doesn’t it.
Oh gosh it all seems too hard, too difficult, I will get back to you tomorrow with what I decide to do..
Until then
Bye for now
Donna

Hey challengers,
I have been challenging and blogging now for 2 months. Wow that is alot of talking hey. Yeah well, just take a moment to think about this. Have you thought about a challenge you would like to take on?
I thought about my smaller challenges, like walking everyday, or decluttering my home room by room. Then I thought again about Jessica Watson, I’m following her blogg and her awesome journey. In the last couple of days, Jessica has just taken off on her Challenge to Sail around the world Solo. An amazing dream coming true for her. Her Dad even said it is a Dream worth dying for. OMG that really is true dreaming.
My little challenges pale into insignificance. Yet they are still important to me and your challenge is important to you. I certainly don’t want to be like Jessica and sail around the world. Although I do want to travel the world, but I think I’ll fly and stay in luxury accomodation. There’s a big dream for me. A challenge to work on. I will take on the smaller challenges then move on up to bigger and bigger ones to complete my life dreams.
until tomorrow
continue challenging yourself
see you
