I can hardly believe almost a month has gone by with no blogging - wonder why? I have been avoiding the blog because I have been intending doing far better at shaping up. So what have I to report now?

After a few weeks of working many hours and not doing too much more I decided that I was too haphazard on my exercises and my clothes were beginning to strain a bit so I need more discipline. I started again yesterday ensuring that I wear my pedometer and do at least 10k each day......I am noticing the effort involved. This way however, I can attend the Crown Plaza Quad Club for lovely swims a couple of times a week without feeling bad about not using the gym.

I have really enjoyed some lovely walks again and have some sun into the bargain. My feet are a bit sore so I need to get a decent pair of walking shoes or trainers but apart from that I can't complain.

The marathon today was great to see 'live' as I stood in a front row position at Canary Wharf for 2 hours. One runner even had bare feet - ouch!! It's not something I have any desire to take part in but I really did admire hose who have the 'gutse' to do this - some many times over!!

The Greenway in Newham is really enlightening - a walk that takes me for miles across the roofs of houses - well if feels like that! I have found parts of Newham that are new to me and it always amazes me the different types and styles of homes.

So - I have had a lovely long weekend and feel good for it and this coming week I will get really fit and active again as I re-build my stamina and enjoy the way walking makes me feel so good - fresh in my thinking and positive in my outlook. I get loads of time on my own to meditate and I am so grateful for all that I have and the peace and love God has given to me.

Robert and I have a lovely week-end to look forward to in mid May and I have some clothes in the wardrobe that I may be able to wear if I keep this up.......

Bye for now...I'll blog all week so that I can record my progress.
