A simple checklist to help you FLY through your day. Mine looks like this: Shower/coffee/dress to shoes/fix hair and makeup Check the calendar,… Continue reading Feel Good Friday – The Flylady MR

Asthma..argh? Week One
Hello, my name's Diane. I'm 42 years old. I have asthma. You didn't know that? Well, join the club, because I didn't either until two weeks ago! 😉 I've never been the sporty type but started NEWO exercising about a year and a half ago. Really 'grown-up' exercising. Strength training and running on a regular basis. Loved… Continue reading Asthma..argh? Week One
Feel Good Friday – The Flylady BBR
Last night I faithfully did my BBR. I used to only do it Monday to Friday, thinking I could take the weekends 'off'. Ha, big mistake! Lesson learned! ;)BBR - to the uninitiated - is Flylady's Before Bed Routine. A little checklist which sets you up for a good 'tomorrow'. Here's mine:check the diary to see what's… Continue reading Feel Good Friday – The Flylady BBR
Scaredy Cat Challenge – Freeze! Part Two
As I announced last week, my latest Scaredy Cat Challenge is to get my freezer under control. Truth to tell, at the moment I'm using three different freezers - yikes! On Monday morning (as soon as the schoolrun was done and before my NEWO run), I set my Flylady timer for 15 minutes. I started this challenge… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Freeze! Part Two
Those crazy Danes – Winter Bathing
Woke up to dark skies this Stor Bededag (Danish Big Prayer Day, it's explained in Wednesday's post, Big Prayer Time). The skies opened on the dot at 9am when I met V and H in the park for a short (3k) NEWOinterval run. When we finished running (and stood there, literally, dripping wet) we polished our… Continue reading Those crazy Danes – Winter Bathing

Scaredy Cat Challenge – Can you smell carrots?
My latest Scaredy Cat Challenge was to get on my bike and cycle to the next town. Go on, you can laugh if you like - it's a round trip of about 10k (6.2 miles)! But as I haven't regularly ridden a bike since I was about eight years old (and have owned a car for… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Can you smell carrots?
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)
Last week I wrote that I was (in the words of 'NEWO' Jonathan Roche) going to 'crank up' my weekly running distance in preparation for this year's 10k race. (Last year I took up running - yes, me, the non-sporty girl - and ran a 5k for the very first time.) My running buddies (two female friends, H and… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 24 January 2010
I've started a 'Scaredy Cat Challenge' for myself - following the advice of Jonathan Roche (see my previous post I'm in Stitches!). He talked about it in connection with exercising, but it can be applied to anything really. So for the duration of 2010, I'm going to do things I've been putting off. I'm not procrastinating about tasks in the… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 24 January 2010
Scaredy Cat Challenge
If you read last Sunday's post (I'm in stitches!), you'll know that I'm trying to follow Jonathan Roche's wise words and jumping in with both feet whenever I feel scared about doing something. My first challenge of the year is to make an apron using a sewing pattern that came with two pages of instructions. I know,… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge
Baby it’s cold outside
I did my first run of the year this morning. Temperature was -1c (31f). Don't know what the windchill was but I can tell you that I did try and keep my mouth closed as much as possible, to stop the back of my throat burning! 😉 I usually run with friends. Twice a week… Continue reading Baby it’s cold outside
I’m in stitches! – 10 January 2010
Right. I had to come up with a new blog idea for my Sunday posts as Christmas is o.v.e.r! 😉 I sat down at my sewing machine today to do a couple of minor jobs. And immediately felt 'guilty' because I saw a sewing pattern sitting there...unused. It's a pattern for an apron - and a very… Continue reading I’m in stitches! – 10 January 2010
High Five Meme
My nice (and very blog-savvy) friend Pippa at http://www.amothersramblings.com/ has 'tagged' me with a 'High Five Meme". Thank you, Pippa! 🙂 Pippa's name will be very familiar to regular readers...we were Christmas planning partners-in-crime! Aside being an excellent blogger, she is also a great tweeter. I only surround myself with positive people and she is definitely right-up-there… Continue reading High Five Meme
Resolution Time Again
OK, not going to dilly dally about, going to make this short and sweet. Resolutions for 2010? Did pretty well with those for 2009: bake more bread (done, done and done!) eat the fruit in the fruit bowl instead of letting it be decorative for a week then letting it rot (did VERY well in… Continue reading Resolution Time Again
