Since the recent changes at work, and since the beginning of the year (when I stepped in to take over while my boss recovered from a serious illness), I’ve let my gym membership go. I struggle to get home before 8pm most nights, and as I leave the house before 7.30am I’ve been finding it [...]

As I approach 40…

I get braces. Yes. Braces. After much debate over the last 12 months, I’ve made the decision that I need to try to keep my own teeth and if I don’t wear these things I’ll lose them. So, for an enormous fee, I get to have the most uncomfortable devices fitted to my teeth. I [...]
On losing weight
Posted in Exercise, Food, Friends, Me, Weight Watchers, tagged Weight Watchers 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 [...]
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… http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7735242.stm 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 [...]
Addiction

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 [...]
Golfage

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 [...]
Pitlochry Golf Course

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. [...]
Rafting

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 [...]
