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 – 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 – 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 [...]

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. [...]

Claude – a rather good week
Finally, I decided against going to a gym. The three I visited were either tremendously expensive or awful-looking. So last Monday, I decided that an elliptical machine would be the thing, took a loan and bought one. It’s not here yet, it will arrive tomorrow morning. Before buying, they let me use it for some [...]

Claude – a good exercise week
Pain in my feet has moved from my toes to my ankles or rather my tendons… I guess it comes from changing position when walking. So no jogging this week. I did enjoy the swimming better than last week as they had opened the swimming-pool and I swam looking up at the sky, and at [...]

Claude – good exercise week
This was really a good week especially walking and cardio exercise. I just bought myself two 1kg weights to replace the half kg weights for my arms reinforcement as trying to deal with one-litre bottles was just sort of difficult. For some reason, I really walked quite a lot this week with two days exceeding [...]

Claude – from very cold to very hot
We’ve had really huge temperature variations. At the beginning of the week, it was raining and awfully cold and yesterday, I decided to get my fans out as it’s really getting hot. I am finding it more and more difficult to reach my optimal heartrate when walking briskly. It used to be difficult to keep [...]

Claude – chilly week, no rain, good exercise
I haven’t taken a photo of the thing that I am using for thigh muscle reinforcement, but Sara found the equivalent on Amazon Ta daaaaah! The ThighMaster, ladies! I’ve had quite a good week exercisewise, in spite of chilly weather. I find that chilly is better than rainy I have managed one swim and two [...]
