A day of two halves.
Morning: I hate clothes shopping. This is nothing new. I’ve always hated shopping for clothes. Throughout my life I’ve always been too tall, & frequently too fat, to buy clothes. I’ve sorted out the too fat bit but there is nothing I can do about my height, and particularly my leg length. I will never […]

Operation Gok Wan …….

Week 3 progress report
Week 3 is now complete, well it will be in 14 hours, and I am on target! So, how’s it been going? Climbing Everest – only did 6 sets of the steps this week. I was ahead of schedule so that was fine. Had a couple of woozy turns on the steps, did wonder if […]

Thank you Heather Small!
Well, that’s it. Week one is complete and it’s all green! (If I hadn’t met the targets for the week it would be red) And I’m ahead of the game, did my weights and rowing at the gym, 12.48 km walk and 2 sets of the steps. How can I prove to you I’m […]

5 days done.
Day 5 yesterday and I’ve met my first week’s targets, in fact I’ve exceeded some of them! Really pleased with that as my aim was to start strong …. while I can! I’ve started writing entries for my blog a few times over the last few days, but on each occasion I’ve been too tired […]
