After my first walk of 2011 yesterday , today it was out for my first run of 2011.
Just over 3 miles done and I felt very heavy and sluggish 🙁
I also went for a 30 min swim, but this time in a nice warm pool.
Tomorrow its back to my healthy eating plan and to correct all the damage done over Christmas.
I have not weighed myself but can tell I never achieved my goal of not putting on any weight over Christmas 🙁
Which disappoints me !
Today we were back out walking with the Cambridge Rambling club
16 miles walked, that burnt off 1600 calories for me, just what I needed 🙂
A great start to our walking year.
2010 saw no real long walks for me but we have plans for 2011 🙂
So I must keep myself fit !
Over Christmas the River Cam was frozen over in places
Luckily for us over the past week the weather has warmed up and the ice has melted
So today we managed to take part in the new years day swim in the River Cam 🙂
More than ever turned up this year so its good to see that we are not the only mental ones
We both managed to swim the full 30 m from step to step
This year I found it painfully cold but its a great way to start the year !!
Last week I received a text message from A who wanted to book a surprise massage for her mums birthday 🙂
I replied straight away and tried to call her many times, even leaving a message on her answer machine.
I thought maybe she had changed her mind when I never heard back from her.
Much to my delight my persistence has paid off and I have just had a lovely call from A.
That is now 3 massage bookings I have for the first 2 weeks in January
2011 is going to be a good year for my massage business 🙂
There are time when I find having full responsibility of my sons very hard
Needless to say we don’t always see eye to eye
We have had a few rough patches this year and I often feel like I am taken for granted.
In with my Christmas gifts I found these two cards , one from each of them
They bought tears to my eyes !
Two beautiful yak shawls from Kathmandu, the orangey one is made from baby yak wool so is a little softer and more delicate 🙂
Both are beautiful and will keep me very very warm
When Geoff visited Khajuraho in India, i did like the Erotic sculptures found in the temples
So in my Christmas box I found a nice Erotic sculpture, which Geoff had lugged all the way around India, just for me 🙂
I now have a real Home Electricity Monitor.
This will allow me to track and graph my electricity use wherever I
can access the internet – even on my mobile phone using the Google
Power Meter App!
Not sure if this is a good thing as I may just end up worrying more about how much my bills are.
I may never boil the kettle or have my heating on again let alone take a shower 🙁
Although it will be very interesting and I will be able to keep my eye on those boys at the weekend too
Now I just need Geoff to come and set it all up for me 🙂
I took this photo in Les Gets and I hoped to make it into a Christmas card but it never happened 🙁
So here it is for all my lovely blogging friends, with out you all, my life would be so much harder.
Thanks for just “being” there !!
