Changing my attitude !!

This evening I finally did something that I have been wanting to do since I moved house 18 months ago… I went running with the Lynnsport Ladybird running club

What had been stopping me from going was my attitude, as I believe in giving everything 100% commitment so if i cannot do something every week then I dont go 🙁

Running clubObviously with the hours I work and my commitment to my massage clients it means I cannot commit to social events on a regular basis so then I miss out !!

Just before Christmas one of my lovely elderly massage clients gave me a stern talking too and basically told me that I had to change my attitude she told me people would not think badly of me if I didn’t turn up every week especially when they knew how hard I worked.

So I have been mulling this over in my mind for quite a few weeks now.

Then on Twitter I discovered another running group that meets up In Kings Lynn on a Tuesday evening and Sunday morning, well I thought if i joined both groups I would have double the chance of getting out !

So with a change of attitude I found myself at Lynnsport tonight meeting up with the ladybirds, they did remember me from the past when I did the beginners running course, who they wouldn’t let me run with tonight, so I picked the 3 mile group and went off with them.

Apart from having a very nasty fall 🙁 it was great to do something sociable, I paid my yearly membership and of course they understood completely when I told them that i might not make it every week 🙂

and when i see my massage client tomorrow she is going to be well pleased !!!

Having Fun !

Finally after being here 4 days I felt well enough to ski.. and the sun came out to celebrate too 🙂

mont chery Its my 7th season here, which I can hardly believe, its also colder than I have ever known it be before…

Today for the first time I went off skiing by myself and had a lovely time doing my favourite blue runs over on the Chavannes.

Tomorrow we have guests coming for the next week, I am so looking forward to going skiing with them on the lovely blue/red runs which i enjoy so much but Geoff wont do on a snowboard.

I am sure they will teach me lots too and as usual it will be hard to leave and go home but I still have another 4 days to enjoy 🙂

Taking a break

I am sat drinking a nice cappuccino in the Starbucks at stansted airport , after what has been an awful week for me.

20130112-134947.jpgFor the first time in well over 6 years I have been properly ill 🙁

I expect working on the checkouts and handling all that money brings me into contact with more germs than is healthy !

Stress has probably played a part in my illness too but now I am off to the mountains to ski,rest,relax and forget about everything for 10 whole days.

Then it’s home to plan for the rest of the year 🙂

New year New recipe

I love cooking/baking and have wanted to make a Risotto for many months.

Its not something the boys wanted to try and with Geoff having been away, I had no one to make it for, BUT last weekend I finally had the opportunity to make one.

IMG_0563The Jamie Oliver basic Risotto recipe was the one that had been recommended to me, which is kind of funny as I dont really like his recipes, we have 2 of his books and they are the only ones that have never been used !

Anyway I liked this recipe, it had a few ingredients, was easy to make and just needed a little patience with all the stirring 🙂

 

I love that you can make this basic recipe then add anything of your choice, this time we had mushrooms, but I cannot wait to make it with the broad beans that I have growing in my garden.

Its tasted fantastic and will become a favourite recipe I am sure 🙂

 

A very weird gift !

At the weekend I received a very weird gift, from a fisherman and fellow rambler.

A pot of worms !!

wormscan you guess what I had to do with them ??

 

Lucky me !

christmas gifts 20121Santa was very kind to me at Christmas, not only did I have 4 fabulous days skiing out in Les Gets but I also received some fabulous gifts, all of which I love !

As well as the above I now have The Killing part 2 to watch and an Acupuncture treatment booked for next week, which I hope will help my Sciatica.

Happy New Year

Apart from all the lovely walking which I do with Geoff, the highlight of 2012 for me was finally getting my Job transfer, not only can I now walk to work but I have a new job on the checkouts which I love 🙂

The low was not getting to do another massage course but its high on my list for 2013.

I also would like to master sock knitting so to start 2013 off I have enrolled in a class at Craftsy which was on offer at half price.

Soon I have 10 days skiing out in Les Gets with Geoff, not sure what walking we shall be doing in 2013 but what ever we do it will be fun.

WISHING YOU ALL A FIT AND HEALTHY 2013 !!
