About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

Mini Milestone week (a week early)

Week 4 is our mini milestone week in 12wbt but as we have a public holiday tomorrow a few of us thought 'hey let's do it a week early so we get a day recovery'

So we did the blue arrow nature walk. This is almost 2.5 hours of hills, stairs, ups, downs, long grass (eeeww shudder), turkeys, wallabies, spiders and snakes (which I didn't see so don't exist), thrills and a few spills. I fell on the way down, but my awesome friend caught me!

At the very top we are about 400m above sea level, the view is just stunning and so worth the walk.


Now even though not all of us made it right to the top, each one of us that climbed out of bed early on a Sunday, put on our shoes and made the drive there deserves a huge pat in the back.

We re-grouped as we came down while we waited for the very last member to catch up. Little did we know, she powered on while we were chatting and almost beat us back down to the bottom.

Excuse the blur in the photo, hard to find good photographers these days :-)


It was very sunny, but tried to get a shot to show how high we are. This here is the look out we walk to most weekends at the top of the red arrow.



We had a fantastic morning and everyone was in the highest spirits when we finished. I'm so glad I got to experience it with these awesome people!

Now I do have a few other wee milestones up my sleeve for the week, 1 being a run. I want to see how far I can run, 4klm would be nice. So I'll give it a go and report back soon.

Oh and fitness testing and measurements coming up this week! YAY
