excellent news

I've been out walking with an internet pal today and it turns out that she is a regular at "my" gym on certain weekdays .. now this suits me fine cos the keep fit thing had very much included the idea of going back to the gym (regulars might remember how kind they were to me when I just wanted a very short membership last winter, b4 my operation .. )

I really enjoyed the classes I attended and I thought that the regular ppl who went to the day time classes were very friendly and sociable, and now it turns out I'm internet mates with one of the day-time regulars .. !

this means that I'm even more excited than I was about the idea of being able to get back into my gym and do a few classes again ..

yay!



















Day Three - Thursday - pretty good.




















Day Four- Friday,
sort of surprised that this is the lowest of the week cos I was out walking in some lovely gardens, and it just goes to show ambling about isn't so "busy" as striding to the shops and back!

Fitness Campaign

Ok - this is an idea I knicked from my mate Ann in Bristol .. trying to increase my mobility and ultimately my fitness I have started to wear my stepper again .. the aim is a minimum of 10,000 steps a day.

I'm planning to photograph it every day, to motivate myself ..

Friends and family who want to get fit too can join in .. you could post your own stepper pictures to a blog or to a photo-site like photobucket, flikr, facebook, etc and post links to your images in here! or not

I'm quite happy to do it on my own!

this was my first day - Tuesday - a walk to the local post office, Co-Op and abbatoir are enough to add over 5000 steps - which is good cos I've done that walk many times during my illness .. which is only 1/2 the target .. but glass 1/2 full is better than nothing!

Second day - mainly picked up walking around Hanley - but it is a bit of a bad idea to get your steps "up town" - spent too much in ths shops, really!
