Claude – another very hot week!

It’s been one of those summer weeks of sitting and sweating! Lots of walking too, although not much brisk walking obviously.

One more week and I’ll be a free woman again!
Here are my steps for June 27th to July 3rd
Saturday, 11,750 steps, one-hour Feldenkrais lesson, 20mn brisk walking, went to air-conditioned Grand Palais where I enjoyed [...]

Claude – warm and stuffy week

I feel like I spend my time complainin8,000 steps, one-hour Feldenkrais classg about the weather! Couldn’t someone tell whoever organises all this or should I say disorganises it that average temperature like 25°C, with rain at night would just be perfect?
Today is particularly hot and stuffy, but as it is Sunday, I won’t complain too [...]

Claude – an afternoon off!

What a week! For the first time in all those weeks, I had a whole afternoon off. And took advantage of it! I went to see a great exhibition at Grand Palais: One picture may hide another.
On the walking front, it’s been a pretty good week too.
So here goes:
From Saturday June 13th to Friday June [...]

Claude – a rainy week

I was grateful I had taken my umbrella that day. When I got home, my trousers were soaked, so was my rucksack and some of of the stuff that was in my pockets. It was too rainy for a walk really, but I couldn’t face taking the métro home as it had been raining too [...]

Claude – too much sitting, but still walking

Jury duty implies sitting for hours on end and taking notes. I have developed a new pain in my elbow, due to scribbling. Used to have mouse elbow, now have pen elbow
It turns out that my almost daily ten minutes stretching exercise has become as indispensable as the walking. I do miss my weekly [...]

Claude – walking and trying to get some rest

Had a long weekend this week, four days in a row and probably the last short week till July 10th. Which means I only “worked” three long days, getting home at 11pm twice.
What I find particularly difficult is having no schedule. When I worked, I knew what time I started and what time I stopped. [...]

Claude – keeping on walking

One of the things that never ceases to surprise me is that, as members of a jury, we spend hours on end sitting. And whenever there is a suspension, people will just collapse in chairs for the break duration! I just can’t do that any more.
I try to stand and move as much as possible.
Also, [...]

Claude – still managing to walk

Actually, I am relieved that I do manage quite a few steps on days when I am busy from 10am to late in the evening. What I do is I take along my daily dose of almonds, one banana and go walking and taking photos at lunch time. One hour’s walk, that clears my brain, [...]

Claude – sitting a lot, but still walking

As I mentioned last week, I have been called on jury duty. The good part is that I can still get some walking done, I get it done at lunch time and on the way back home. Of course, I have to remain seated for long sessions. I can’t tell you more about it, so [...]

Claude – two hectic weeks

I am sorry for not posting last week, although I see that apart Holly and Lia… I am not the only one to have good excuses.
I have been called for jury duty this next Monday and have been trying to get everything that had to be done over the last two weeks done.
So, the last [...]
