MEMORANDUM MONDAY.....

.....is the new brainchild of  'She- of- the- great- Blogging- Ideas' AKA SIAN :the idea being that not only do we wave on Monday, but also share something we did for the first time over the weekend and/or something we learned and hadn't known before.

Given that I spent most of last week-and most of the weekend- in bed or lying on the sofa (having been laid low by a nasty bug) and with a head full of sawdust, I can honestly say I didn't do anything  at ALL, never mind new at the weekend.

By yesterday though, my head was my own again and I am most definitely on the mend...to the extent that I got out my little pedalling machine with the intention of using it at least for twenty minutes or so, just to get me back in the swing of it. Unfortunately, after ten minutes the blessed left pedal fell off (!); on examining said pedal I discovered that there was no way it was going to re-thread back into the machine so, being determined that my new fitness and healthy eating regime (more about that another day) wasn't going to be scuppered on day 1, I went off in search of my trusty Superglue to see if THAT would work. I did the necessary and left it to set and by today :

.....I learned that Superglue DOES stick tight- even on metal against metal! I have used my machine and the pedal stayed put...YAY!

Waving at the Monday Wavers and wishing everyone a week with lots to be grateful for!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

Unheard of!

NEVER! 
NOT EVEN ONCE!........and there are many who can confirm............


I did something TWICE yesterday, that I have very rarely done even ONCE in a day!


Here's a clue( well, two clues):

Yes world....yesterday I partook in two exercise classes!!!!!! Believe me, exercise is so not my thing.....I hate everything about it, normally. But I have decided that if I want to  keep on with my weightloss journey, it is a necessary evil....to be honest it's probably because I have lost weight, that I feel able to exercise!

Anyhow, it just so happens that the two classes I would want to go to , fall on the same day..though, fortunately, not at the same time (or I would need the time-turning 'thingie' Hermione had in one of the Harry Potter books!....actually I would LOVE a time-turning 'thingie'...but I digress!)

In the morning, the trainers went on, and off I went to a Keep Fit class, which was actually quite good. Bizarrely, they did a routine that was very akin to Scottish country dancing....my school days came flooding back and I had to stop myself going into a full-flung 'Gay Gordons' (I realise that by this time, many of you will be off 'googling', trying to work out what I'm chuntering on about!!)

In the evening it was more dancing...though Line Dancing this time! I mentioned this in a LSNED  post here......and I did indeed get some new shoes (the second pic). I can't say they turned me into a fantastic dancer, but they were certainly more flexible...and I actually cottoned on to quite a few of the steps this time....though there was still much stumbling and mixing up of feet!

Both classes were fun (anyone reading this who has known me for any length of time, pick yourself up off the floor now!) and it was good to meet some new people, so this looks as though it might be my new Tuesday routine.

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
