Here Comes The Snow

I have my lap top back and I am back in business, thank goodness!  Just in time for the snow as well.  As I was fortunate to be off work this weekend, I was able to get out and about to take some pics.  So Kev Nic and I went up Dunstable Downs.  It is always fun up there when it snows as all the children will be out with their sledges.  As you can see by my pics all ages love the snow and enjoy being out and playing in it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone.  A bit late but my beloved laptop has had to go into repair.  Unfortunately it is not the only one, so there is a back log and a wait, could be 4-6 weeks. Aaggghhhh!!!! Never mind eh, so I am using kev's computer, and as he uses it for work, I can have it only for a short time.

Back in September I was quite poorly, after visiting my favourite coffee shop, and it was decided that I could be lactose intolerance, and should give it a few weeks to see if it helps.  So I did, and it did, I felt so much better for it, so a new regime began.  I lost a few pounds almost straight away, although it wasn't the intention, but black coffee is a lot lighter than a Latte or a Hot Chocolate with Cream and Chocolate sprinkles. Much to my surprise I haven't even missed it.  I have always been able to drink black coffee if I have needed to, if I have milk then I like sugar, and it has to be Hot Hot Hot!!! as you know from my moans.  So, if hot or sugar is not available then I have it black.  So it has been no hardship, to revert to black coffee. 

I always as a child loved to swim, and when my children where at school, being a stay at home mum, I used to swim.  The leisure centre in Dunstable, like every where else, have to do classes to keep open, so it is difficult when you work shifts  to fit it in on a regular basis.  When you do however it is relatively busy and there are children using you to hide, from their mates, which makes  lane swimming for health difficult. So I bit the bullet and joined DW Gym as they have a swimming pool.  Everyone is so friendly, and I soon got talking to people, and gradually over the last few month's I have gone to several fitness classes, along with my swim which I can do at any time seven day's a week, so I can go after work, and on my day's off. Hurrah!!

So this morning I am off to do some Zumba Gold, and Aqua Pilates, and tomorrow is Pilates which is my favourite so far, but the classes fill up very quickly.  I have also been to a spin class but that books out very quickly to and I have only been for a few, hard work but you feel good afterwards. 

I don't make New years Resolutions, on the whole because it is the wrong time of year for me to making changes, I am better making them in April or May, so that I am in a better frame of mind for it, and as you can see from above if a change is needed then no problem, if there is no need then I have no will power what so ever. Strange isn't it?
