Went for walk with my U3A group.  Arrived at start point an hour early, so popped into cafe and had Danish Pastry straight out of the oven and large cappuccino - absolutely delicious.  The walk around the lake only took 45 minutes, so thought I ought to add on some extra time in order to feel better about that lovely pastry and creamy cappuccino that I devoured earlier!  When will I ever learn?

Health and Fitness

The above two words have tended to be on my mind quite a lot lately.  I think it all stems from looking at myself in the mirror with my glasses on!  It was a sad sight, I can tell you.  So, onwards and upwards, as some wise sage said (though who I have no idea) and I decided it was time to do something about it.

Gym subscriptions are out of the question for me at present and I knew that somewhere in the house I had some exercise dvd’s - or so I thought.  When I eventually found them, however, I discovered they were videos.  What a pain!  I no longer have a video player because everything these days seems to be on dvd, so I now have four perfectly good exercise tapes that I can’t play.  Even if I did have a video, I have no idea how to connect it to the TV and I haven’t the room to put a video player near the TV anyway.

Well, I used to be the one to wander around saying there were no such things as problems, only opportunities.  Having got to grumpy old woman stage, I couldn’t resist saying to myself, what a load of cods wallop.

I’ve managed to stop ‘grumping’ now and have at least started going on regular walks with an offshoot of the U3A group I belong to.  There are twelve of us altogether who decided we needed to start with just a couple of miles at a time, rather than the five miles or so undertaken by the regular walking group.

The remainder of my exercise regime seems to be running up and down stairs, purely because I get upstairs and realise I’ve left stuff downstairs that I really need, or vice versa.  Oh well, I suppose there’s more than one way to skin a cat, as the saying goes…
