Kick Start To New Year Fitness

Kick start to New Year Fitness , I know it's the old adage but you've got to start somewhere !

And there is no better start than walking and you don't need any special equipment to get you going ,well it until you decide to go over hill and dale .

To get the maximum health benefits from walking you need to do about 10,000 steps a day as your target. Making small changes will have a culminate  effect taking the stairs instead if the lift , my husband does this ( as his work lift is always breaking down!) and where possibke walking to walk.

Set yourself a goal to move every 30 minutes honestly if you out your mind to it ,this can work as it only takes 3 weeks to form a habit. You can keep track of your progress with a pedometer ( this vary in price) or you can download a pedometer app these range from paying for or free .

If you need inspiration about where to walk there are plenty of sites like Geocaching which encompass history and excercise (some are free and some you have to pay for. )

For general walking there are plenty of sites that allow you to plan routes , print out guides and find walking groups. And with skies like this why wouldn't you want to get out of there?

Silent Sunday

Judge Me ,

Do you judge what you see ?

Do you see a situation and make a snap judgement ?

Sometimes it's hard not to.

But spare a thought , what you see may have a reason behind it.

For example there was a less able person at the cinema who could still move , didn't really need help but I thought perhaps could have done with a hand perhaps from their family who had walked on ahead.

But then again , could I be wrong .

Could I be making a snap judgement ?

Perhaps they could be encouraging independence?

Who am I to judge ?

So when as a young parent I had a toddler with SEN issues screaming the supermarket down for cheese , or the fun times we had when he was screaming down the post office just because a package I collected wasn't for him. Or the moments he was obsessed with blue , or the occasions he refused to come into nursery shouting 'no' leaving me all flustered.

I am sure people were judging but I tried to block out any odd stairs and concentrated on what matter to me which was the well being of my son.

Judgemental is something I try not to be.

Wild Woods Nearly Burn

The cat's ate the carpet.

It's the post Christmas slump.

What lifts a heavy heart?

A walk on the wild side , it tames the heart mind and the spirits.

It puts pay to the ghosts of Christmas past .


It reminds you of the here and now it reminds of what it is to be loved.


You can talk to the trees , they are always there they are constant just like family.


The closer you look, the harder you listen there is the heart beat of nature you just have to tune in to it.

This beats the Box sales, hands and hearts down.

But when someone endangers a woodland, when someone puts other people and homes in danger then my heart sinks a little.

But I believe in karma , what comes around goes around. I never wish harm on anyone, karma will sort.

I have to believe in something.

With belief is hope !
