I have started my pre holiday summer get fit routine! Well that's the theory anyway!
Off to NZ in six weeks so I need to lose a few pounds & get fit for walking.
A circular walk from the garden centre along the canal bank & back to the car, about two miles I reckon.
There good things:
1. Nicely loosened up!
2. Checking out overseas bank charges.
3. I could have got refunded again for my returned John Lewis parcel but said I would check if it had already been reimbursed. She asked me to ring her back & let them know, have tried but nobody answers the phone in womenswear. Not good enough John Lewis! I shouldn't have to do your work for you!
A lovely place to do your fitness training!! I too am trying to get fit ready for my trip to Chicago in May. We got rid of the last of the Christmas left over food today - I gave away the last half of our Christmas cake to avoid the temptation!!
@pamknowler I don't think I will be the only one on a fitness regime Pam! My word that sounds serious.....if I keep it up for a month I will have done well!
Good for you Pat. I'm going to Abu Dhabi 5 weeks from today and that will involve wearing a swimsuit arrrh!! I went back to yoga today. That's a start.
@maggiemae Yes I think on the whole canal water dies tend to be brown plus the fact all water areas have been very active over the last few weeks & a big churned up. Thanks for the Fave too!
Looks lovely and calm and gentle - so nice to have a waterway in your route....they look different every day. I've got my step counter out and back to school on Wednesday so will get moving again!
How exciting to be counting down to your holiday! And have you used Twitter I wonder? I find I get an instant response if I amn't happy with a service. It's very public and companies don't want anything but positives so react quickly! I used it tonight when I got 'reservations unavailable' for my train ticket to Mum and Dad's in a couple of weeks on a low cost ticket .......and got an instant reply and a number to call......and reservations now in place! Also useful if luggage goes missing between flights!!!
@sarah19 I don't use Twitter Sallie.....I have been tempted & it sounds great for that reason. Might investigate! I had such a sags with JL about the original parcel alledgedly no arriving ...well you know the story! I checked that the money had been paid & then rang back but can't get through. I'm fed up with them! If I had given them my card number this morning as she asked I would have received the money twice....I could have been tempted after all the hastle!
A lovely spot for your pre holiday walking sprint. have a lovely trip. Look forward to your pictures. Will be interested to see where you go in Melbourne too.
@pinkpaintpot Well I never Linda! I was there around 12.30, 1pmish. I only popped in to get some bacon but did have a quick look at sale Christmas sale stuff. My car was there while I walked! We must meet up for a coffee next time!
@stevecameras two miles done yesterday but going to the cinema this afternoon so that's it for today! It's quite time consuming this fitness lark! Good advice Steve!
