Yesterday was just simply NOT a blogging day. It was a day for reflection and nostalgia. Just when people tell me that social networking is over rated, or mostly that they don’t understand it, then you realise how it also brings people together. My post wine-jump expedition on Saturday was followed by more wine, a “braai” […]
Sometimes a picture replaces a thousand words- all of it in 10 minutes. So my text came through…. Do jumping or skipping with a bottle of wine in each hand for ten minutes and then enjoy a glass of wine after – you’ll deserve it. Talk about guilty pleasures… Sorry Marcin, I have already had […]
Short, black and gorgeous…. like my last pint of Guinness (YES, 270 calories per pop) – that’s going to be my blog tonight. The end of a great week – challenging, changing and courageous, but we’re there. We have taken the first tentative steps into our new computer system at the hotel, and all are […]
Five days non stop in the hotel, morning noon and night comes to an end tomorrow. The Brandon House Hotel is a lovely second home indeed, but I need to inform you that I do not have the luxuries afforded a usual stay. When here – I live in what I lovingly refer to as the […]
I truly paced myself today, and took everything in its stride. But what thrilled me most – as many of you fitness and health gurus know already – is how good I felt all day. I was alert, and active, but most importantly, I was positive about everything… Well, almost everything. We are in the middle […]
A brief and early report to say that I did 10 minutes intensive on the vibroplate, followed by 1/2 hour swim this morning…. Alright – I confess, 15 minutes swim, and 15 minutes play in the pool – but I did it. I just got up and did it. The first step has been re-taken! […]
Mañana Mañana – and in that lies the root of all evil. FACT! Or in my case – the 2.5 pounds not lost in the past 3 weeks. I am three weeks into my 40.40 Challenge – and let’s be honest, the signs of clear deflection from the issue at hand does not take a Freud to […]
Now some of you might not utter a sigh of surprise at all – but I have only lost 1 pound last week – which collectively means that I am one whole week behind schedule! Am I feeling blue? Not at all! I said I would tell you about Picnic on Picasso, and maybe then […]
Quite simply the perfect end to a perfect weekend – so there is only going to be this short note. I’m barely within calories, but I’m there. Had Picnic on Picasso…. but need time to write about how blessed we are to live in Oulart – so watch this space tomorrow! Until then – a bit […]
This is going to be very short – really! Summer is here, and we all know, it might be gone tomorrow, so no time to be sitting in front of computers – all be they new or old – and not be enjoying the gorgeous rays. My day started today with a wonderful walk through Ravenwood in […]
