On losing weight

Posted in Exercise, Food, Friends, Me, Weight Watchers, tagged on 15/06/2009 | Leave a Comment »

A few years ago I lost 65lb doing weight watchers. I was do proud of myself for the achievement and became a helper to help me stay at that weight. Now, I am no longer a helper and I am gaining weight. I am pee’d off with myself – big time.
Before February I was doing [...]

Kayaking…

Posted in Exercise, Family, Friends, Sister on 18/11/2008 | Leave a Comment »

My sister’s BF is a bit of an extreme sports fan…well, not just a fan. I’ve been white water rafting with him. I’ve seen video of him kayaking in some interesting rivers across the globe…but I’ve never seen him do anything quite like this…

Really wonder what he’d make of it…?

Nike +

A couple of weeks ago, I got an early Christmas present (one, that will be wrapped up again :0) before the big day)…a new Nano and a Nike+ gizmo for in my shoe. The idea is to get me running again. I still can’t run outside, expecially not at this time of year, so I’m [...]

Stress Fracture?

Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 01/10/2008 | Leave a Comment »

What are the common stress fractures for golfers? And why do they happen…? We all know that TW has had stress fractures…but why?
Apparently low fitness, and being a female golf are two of the common reasons…!! Hmmm. Very strange. Not sure TW would agree with either of those as reasons.
Well, golf is off for me at [...]

Addiction

Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 16/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’m addicted. To playing golf. The most frustrating, fun, annoying, and enjoyable game I’ve ever played. I played two rounds of 18 over the weekend, and was really pleased with a 109 at Pine Ridge and with a 112 at Blue Mountain.
Pine Ridge is my local course and is really lovely – lots of trees [...]

Golfage

Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 03/09/2008 | 1 Comment »

I’ve played a number of times recently, and I think I’m finally getting used to the new clubs. My short game is improving well – which I’m really pleased about, as I was worried about the weight of the new PW.
Last night I finished a round at our local 9-hole course with a cracking shot [...]

Pitlochry Golf Course

Posted in Exercise, Golf, tagged , , on 28/08/2008 | Leave a Comment »

Played and survived.
What a different experience of playing a “short course”. Hmmm. The first three holes are not only a test of your golf skills but of your fitness levels. As you stand on the first tee, little do you  realise as you look up the hill that you’re actually heading up…up…and up again.
The 5th [...]

Rafting

Posted in Exercise, Friends, Me, Sister, tagged , on 28/08/2008 | Leave a Comment »

At the weekend we asked about the possibility of rafting down the Tummel with my wee sister’s boyfriend. Before we could say “is it a good idea?” a raft was booked and we were set to paddle down the Tummel the next day.
Mum, Gran and cousin J, sat on the riverbank – watching the river [...]

Golf again :-)

Posted in Exercise, Golf, Me on 19/08/2008 | Leave a Comment »

I did it. Friday, Am Golf was doing a special on a set of ladies intermediate irons…so I took the plunge and ditched my starter set of irons. Down at the range after the purchase, I worked up through the new set comparing them to my old irons – net result – longer & straighter! [...]

Air Conditioning

Posted in Exercise, Me, Rant, tagged on 29/07/2008 | Leave a Comment »

Do we ever get it right?
The office I work in is kept on the icy side, so when it’s 30 degrees outside, you go out into the air and melt. Yuck.
Last night I went to the gym - 30 degrees outside, a toasty 23 degrees inside. All ok until you start running and 2 mins into [...]
