I am grateful ...

Lifestyle Changes
- Knee Strengthening (every day): achieved
- Exercise: I am doing a mixture of C2F, exercise bike, line dancing, and walking. The aim is to be doing a form of exercise for at least 30 minutes every day ... it's a work in progress but the routine of daily exercise is becoming a habit.
- End of Day Routines: I've managed to re-establish the end of day routines so the aim is to continue with this until the end of the year, with some flexibility over Christmas, and then decide what the new focus will be in January.
I love your reasons to be cheerful! I love those misty mornings too. Hope your weekend is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. It's been a very quiet weekend, even by lockdown standards, but enjoyable all the same.
DeleteLots of good things to be cheerful & grateful about.
ReplyDeleteLooking back, it's been a lovely week.
DeleteHappy birthday! And congratulations on the quizzing success. I too have enjoyed the misty days.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm admitting to getting older but have no intention of behaving sensibly ... maybe next year!
DeleteI've taken some misty photos but have been disappointed with all of them so will try again next week. I'd like to get a decent one for the WPSH.
All very good reasons to be cheerful and grateful and you are doing so well with the life style changes and routines! Well done all around! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. It's one positive from the lockdown. The slow pace of life makes it easier to focus on the changes I want.
DeleteHappy belated birthday, Eileen! 🎂💐

DeleteFun post.
ReplyDeleteThank you x
Delete30 minutes sounds like a doable goal, and that much exercise will be beneficial. Routines are helpful with that.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a treadmill and did 30 minutes every morning as soon as I got out of bed. I listened to the radio and just got on with it, and that's what I'm hoping will happen with the exercise bike, starting at 10 minutes each time and gradually increase the time. The other things are extras, but fun!
