I don’t do resolutions …….
Aargh!!!!!!!!! Did you hear the scream? I trod on it, with both feet and not holding on to anything. Poor thing appears to have survived, although I’m not sure that’s necessarily a good thing. What am I talking about? The scales 😱😱😱 Now I’ve known I was going to have to do it. I’ve known […]

Kidney stones part 2 of 3 (or how to spend New Year!)
Remember that stone, no not Darryl, that other stone that destroyed me in a way that personal training, no matter how good, has never managed to do? (Very quick recap, in September I was suddenly in horrendous pain, admitted to hospital and, after a couple of nights of serious painkillers I got rid of […]

This girl can …… And does!!!
I’ve just changed my profile picture on Facebook to this: I made this up a little while ago and it was used by This Girl Can, build displayed in shopping centres! Now, though, it’s been more relevant to me as I’ve bent, I’ve certainly bent, but I have NOT broken! It’s been a strange couple […]

2015 has started well.
Well here’s my first post of 2015, halfway through January. Christmas and New Year are over, thank goodness. They are never a good time for us and this year was no exception. Once they are out of the way things can settle down (until Ray’s next major stress point, my birthday in March!). So what […]

Success breeds success!
I’ve put on weight. There, I’ve said it. I’ve now faced up to it and I knew it was time to take it on again. Not a problem, done it before, just need to sort myself out and do something about it. So I talked to Darryl (my trainer) about it. We both know I […]

How did I upset him?
Do you remember all these different challenges that I’m doing this year? Do you remember that Darryl is setting me a random challenge each week? Well I think I’ve upset him! No idea what I’ve done that’s wrong …. but it must be pretty bad!!!! Got to training this morning and, as usual, we started […]

The not so secret progress of Gill aged 59¼
So, I’m now 3 months into my challenges and it’s time for an update. I’m really surprised at how quickly the time has gone and, despite some pretty atrocious weather, I’m slightly ahead of target at this point! Mount Everest – I’ve now climbed 3924 feet (27.1%) which is more than Mount Snowdon. Makes you […]

I wasn’t trying to lose weight!
The latest random challenge was to completely follow the ‘Ancestral Solution’ for two weeks. This is a way of eating recommended by the trainers at Club One Hundred. http://www.clubonehundred.com/ancestral_solution.php This was a real challenge for me because I’d relied on calorie counting for such a long time but this was completely different. I’ve followed most […]
