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 – 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 – 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 [...]

Claude – a varied exercise week
The knee thing I have been mentioning has been found to be a thighmaster by Sara and apparently can be found on Amazon. I can’t believe that I went to the swimming-pool on my own and actually swam with my flippers 600 metres (that for me is A LOT). I was dead tired when I [...]

Claude – unusually warm for April
It’s been quite warm this week, with two days around 26°c and like Lynn, I am not crazy about warm and humid. But the “no rain” part felt really good. I have been advised to resume going to the swimming-pool and they suggested getting a pair of those Let me tell you that this was [...]

Claude – a rather good week
As promised, posting on Saturday. Sunday Oct. 5 looked grim and gloomy, a real autumn day with dead leaves flying around, wind and rain. I managed walking to the market 5,100 steps, 35mn aerobics on the Wii, 25mn indoors biking. Quite pleased to go back to indoors biking. The Wii and the bike are good [...]

Claude – almost two rather good weeks
It’s almost two weeks since I posted. Shame on me for not posting at least once a week, as the rules of the blog say. But I did come and visit and comment! So I did half the job. But back to exercise. I’ve had pretty busy weeks and resumed my Feldenkrais and stretching sessions. [...]

Claude – July 14th to July 20th
Bastille Day found me at home like a total couch potato. I was just tired and needed to do … nothing! July 15th: my daughter dragged me to go swimming with her. And that was a good thing because my second time swimming turned out much better than the first time. The weather was nice [...]
