Time for an update.
I was going to write a really long post giving all the details of the kidney stone surgery but I’ve decided against it. I’m just going to give a quick overview so …….. New Year’s Eve – surgery to remove remaining stones. Stent inserted. Hospital were brilliant, slept for what felt like days afterwards. 08/01/16 […]

Latest update ….. which means I can’t think of a title!
As I’m now stuck indoors, bored out of my brain, waiting for the man to come and service Ray’s wheelchair, I thought I may as well go back to this which I started a few days ago ……. But first I must comment on what happened with my last post. You may recall that that […]

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 […]

I’ve found a new use for trifle.
I should probably say that I’ve found A use for trifle. I don’t like trifle. I think it’s the consistency. Slimy, wobbly stuff. And it’s got custard in it, I don’t like custard either. When I was given custard as a kid it always seemed to have a skin on it, yuk! So, we have […]

So what progress on my ‘core’ challenge?
None! Absolutely none! And it’s all my own fault 😦 Remember how I found one of the exercises completely impossible?

There are more questions than answers ……..
Well there are with me around, although I do have a tendency to over think things. So ……. Why does a half marathon that you walk at night have a medal like this? Could it be so you can see it in the dark? Enjoyed my first half marathon though, and could have kept going. […]

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 […]

If Dame Kelly Holmes can do it ……
Since ‘arriving’ at Lands End last Wednesday I’ve been feeling a bit down. I’d pushed myself hard to get there but John o’Groats seems such a long way off ………….. probably because it is! I know there are some people who look to me for inspiration, but what do I do when this happens? I […]

Comparisons don’t work!
Well we all know that, don’t we? I’ve thought about this a lot this week Firstly I had a discussion with my 18 year old rugby playing nephew about weights: H: squat-115; Clean-80; Push press-80; Bench-90 Me: Well done you. That’s awesome! I am ever so slightly (well a hell of a lot really) jealous!!! […]
