Well the week hasn’t continued as it started. Yesterday morning at 3am I awoke feeling very strange indeed. This resulted in a sudden dash to
Month: August 2017
Not a single moment wasted
Despite me originally intending to do a new walk today I changed my plans late last night when I was unexpectedly invited out for a
Napton on the Hill
It’s a bit of a scorcher today – and the weather frankly couldn’t be better for a bank holiday weekend. Although I did go walking
San Francisco to New York
Bank Holiday weekends have been something of a non event for the last year, so it’s nice to wake up today knowing that I have
Generous comment
I woke up very early this morning – most probably because I also went to bed very early. I’ve noticed that a (probably inevitable) consequence
Walnut cheeks
If I’m honest I’ve been in a bit of a grump today. Outwardly this (I think) wouldn’t have been apparent – but deep down I
Naturally thin
It’s a lovely day. When I say that I don’t mean it’s lovely I mean it’s LOVELY. That’s not just because the sun is shining
Unexpected generosity
My chariot awaits outside. Not in a ‘Cinders – you’re going to the ball!’ kind of way but instead in a ‘I’m really old car
Archeology
So far so good. I’m keeping up my walking average as well as working – and up to this point it’s not been anything other

Although I didn’t get upset about last Saturday’s unexpected weight gain I’ve been trying really hard to focus over the last seven days on forward
Slow mo me
Fundamentally this week for me has been about forward progress, challenging some thought patterns about what I need from life and focusing on self improvement.
No limits
One of the things that I’ve sometimes found difficult with my weight loss progress is how to judge success. It’s a really malleable and ethereal concept
Wyken Slough nature walk
Today was supposed to be more inclusive of gradients and hills – and I was originally planning another exploration of the hills and tracks around Ilmington –
Introducing friends
This morning I’ve been out with a couple of firm friends, who only met each other for the first time this today… Initially they were
Wardrobe malfunction
Although occasional insomnia sucks the catch-up sleep that follows it (at least in my case) is glorious. It’s now 6.25am on Sunday, the sun is
Fragrant butts
My usual Friday night insomnia has been more rampant than usual today/tonight/this morning or whatever it is now. I suppose that it’s Saturday (regardless of what
Diabetes progress report
There are few more gratifying things in life than seeing the long term benefits of choices you’ve made come home to roost. Real, lasting change
Transportation upgrade
Today has the capacity to be a downbeat one – but honestly I don’t plan to let it get the better of me. I dislike
