Friday

Title - well I just couldn't think of one! A few of you commented how I was on fire at the start of the year - well it looks like I need some new fuel for the fire. I need to shock this body! The scales are stuck and yep I've got into the old habit of weighing daily - which for me is madness because I know from experience how frustrated I get when they don't move - which then leads into me thinking - what the hell. So.....no more daily weighing and of to the gym next week! Maybe just a little reluctantly but I know that is a mind thing and once I get in to it once again I will be away. To start with I'll use my old program until I get an assessment done, if I wait for the assessment it will only delay things. I've made up my mind so I'm off. I'm aiming for three sessions a week. Baby steps. Walking this week has been slack and taking time to think why I know I pushed myself into walking 6 out of 7 days for a couple of weeks and to be truthful just got bored. So maybe l may be better to aim for 2-3 good walks a week and 3 gym sessions. Variety and now aqua will be my reward after the gym.

LOL - our gym has one of those vibe machines and a couple of women at aqua were talking about power-plate so I told them that we had a similar one at the gym. They were really interested and then said why don't we take a look after our aqua session - so we did. The gym instructor was only too happy to show us (we are all members) there was some young, blond guy on the machine, he soon took of when he saw us. It didn't look like he was doing anything and I thought the machine was even going. My friend jumped on, (now normally I don't swear here being the lady I am - yea right) but all she said was fuck! And she jumped straight off, almost like she had an electric shock. She said ''oops did you hear me?" - yep we did - in fact not only us but quite a few other gym members did. Why did she react like that I was thinking? My turn - I jumped on - and hell I thought my brains, teeth and what ever else in my head was rattling and banging, I jumped straight off - Chris H - how do you do and stay on the thing for the time you do! It looks harmless, it doesn't look like it moves - but it sure vibrates!! The third one of us had her turn and but felt that rattling feeling eased off if you hung on there.

Our TV broke down just before Christmas for the second time - still under warranty so of it went to get fixed. The firm that were to pick it up didn't collect it until the 8th Jan and this was only after several phone calls. We waited and waited and waited - a couple of weeks later they phoned to ask when they could pick it up?? After a few phone calls they found they did in fact have it - how's that for service?! Many more phone calls and promises later - nothing... I phoned again this morning and now we have been told we can have a replacement one! Yay - I'm going shopping. Our one was a 29 inch so will upgrade a bit! Especially now the rugby is soon to start.

Meet up with our daughter and her boys yesterday in town, being the kind mum and nana I am I shouted lunch - Fynn was hanging out for his first fluffy (or flovely as he calls them) he was impressed. Eyes as big as saucers when he saw the chocolate on top! I got a digital camera in a sale - so no longer have to borrow Peter's. Just have to get through the 135 page book of instructions!! Deb just phoned me as I'm typing, their eldest son has been coughing since Christmas and has been on anti-biotics which really haven't helped, back to the doctors just before and his lungs are swollen - now they think it is either - a virus still or maybe asthma which we do have in our family. Hope for his sake it is not asthma. I got such a shock when she said about the lungs being swollen - first thing in my head was something more sinister. He now has an inhaler and is on steriods. The cough seems quite a bit better but still there and annoying him.

No WW for me this week as we are away. Have a great weekend:)
