Two weeks ago, I mentioned bladder infection. Well, guess what! Just when I had the feeling everything was back to normal, it came back with a vengeance. I went to the doctor’s who prescribed antibiotics. Some three or four days into the antibiotics prescribed for 7 days, my right knee started to be extremely painful. [...]

Claude – rainy week in Paris
I’ve had a difficult week as I started a bladder infection, which I thought was better, it came back with a vengeance and I had to go to the doctor’s last Friday. So I’m a bit late in posting. I started a new morning programme with strength exercise from SparkPeople and rather like that it [...]

Claude – resuming exercise week
Well, it’s been somewhat difficult, this week, with ups and downs especially in motivation. I have been exploring the incredibly richness of SparkPeople in terms of suggestions for exercise and will try to adapt some of them to my way of life. Thank you Sara, for mentioning it to me. I have also noticed that [...]

Claude – back from the UK
I’m late in posting this week. I got back on Tuesday and have been doing laundry, running all sorts of errands, filling my fridge and other such things. AND getting back into cardio exercise and good habits! Two weeks’ holiday, from July 19th 2010 to August 1st 2010 I did write down my steps for [...]

Claude – Wales! Here we come
With my friend Catherine, we’re driving to Zeebrugge, with a lunch stop at Bruges, with a walk around the city. Then Hull the next morning, and final destination, Chester, which is not in Wales, but very conveniently situated to drive to different destinations in Northern Wales. It was rather a good week, exercisewise, as the [...]

Claude – a request (and also a tip)
Please don’t copy-paste anything word formatted or directly copied from a newspaper as it tends to screw up the posts that are below!. I had a lot of trouble identifying the guilty code that sneaked into both Sara’s and Nancy’s posts. They made the rest of the blog look totally wonky. Sorry I’m such a [...]

Claude – another hot week
Except for Tuesday, all week was steaming hot. Not my favourite weather at all. I know, I’m always complaining about the weather, too hot, too cold, too rainy, too snowy… And we do have to adjust, don’t we? One of the things that comforts me is the fact that although I still don’t like heat [...]

Tips and tricks – why use a pedometer?
At one point here, I think it was Lia who said that a healthy walking average was something around 5,000 steps a day. I had heard from my doctor that 5,000 steps just meant you weren’t sick in bed At my hospital workshop, they prone the pedometer versus time spent walking, as counting steps seems [...]

Claude – two hot exercise weeks
I have been too busy, too lazy and probably too hot to post the week before last. My good friends from Norwich were here for a week and their stay started with a very cold day (12°c) to go on with the beginning of a heat wave that lasted until yesterday. I must say that [...]

Claude – elliptically yours
It’s been a chilly week over here, but somehow it makes exercising easier. AND last Tuesday, my brand new elliptical crosstrainer got delivered at 11h30 and mind you, at twelve, I was pedalling and moving my arms. I must say that since I’ve received it, it has been used every day, and I love it. [...]
