Hi all,
Beck - a friend's husband was out for a run with his dog and another doggy tripped him up and he broke his leg in 3 places and was on crutches for 18 weeks!
Pamina - the walk along the Thames sounds lovely, and your post brought back lots of memories - I used to live at Camden Lock and walked along the water all the time.
DG - am so jealous of you fitting into your clothes! I recently put on 5 kg in 2 weeks .... it was a couple of months ago while I was starting the AF thing and at the gym every morning ....... then lost them all over about 3 weeks and have been yo-yoing ever since. [Menopause alert] I think this is hormones and I'm going to get the Dr and//or naturopath to get everything sorted once I have caught up on myself!
And I cheated a bit tonight ......... didn't go to the gym, but did have a nice long-ish walk after leaving work a bit early. It was very nice to be outside - we have had soooooo much rain!! Tomorrow I do weights ...... My duathlon goal is fast approaching with no runing training ...... might try one on the weekend and see how far I get before O2 deprivation hits me!
For those of you getting into yoga, it is well worth persisting! I think some people give up because it doesn't feel like a challenge and too much like stretching. Sticking with it gives you an appreciation of just how much strength and flexibility it takes to hold some of the poses. And for those of us who are nearing or over 50, there are some studies coming out now that suggest that yoga/tai chi and other related forms of exercise are a very good preventitive for osteoporosis and joint complaints!! - they are no impact but still strengthen muscles. (and weights are too!)
my lavender bath is calling me!
