Regime change!

Hello,

Firstly, my 'marksucks' msn site with all my pics on etc has been deleted by Microsoft because I didn't use it enough... So if anyone has any old pictures please email them to me....MAIL

More media whoring this time in the Lichfield Mercury CLICK and the Widnes World CLICK. Dontcha just luvvit when everyone wants a piece of one? (ooer!)

Well this is just a short 'un as off to the CWCC do tonight....Just thought I would tell epople a little bit about my exercise regime...

Since I lost all that lung capapcity last year I have a gruelling schedule, just to maintain my L.C and enable me to have enough energy to do the normal things in life...

I go swimming three mornings a week before work, doing 30 lengths, walk 1/2, swim 1/2, swim 1/2 walk half etc....

On Wednesdays I play table tennis at lunchtimes.. The other lunchtimes in the winter I stay in the canteen at work, too damn cold...

I go to the gym foud evenings straight from work. Doing about 15 mins on treadmill, 15 mins on bikes and most of the rest on weights etc....

I go to simple circuits on a Monday night at Stobart Stadium, Halton....But only manage to get to about one in three....

I get a feel-good feeling for about an hour and a half after exercise which enabled me to have theenergy to go shopping, go to the pub or do other stuff...

It is depressing that just over a year ago I was able to run, cycle and play badminton...

My aim by the sumer is to be able to jog - even if its only for a minute.... Wish me luck....

Well I will love you and leave you.... A bientot and thanks for the positivity....

BMI Blues and in the news

Hello Blogettes,

Sorry it has been a few weeks. My health is improving and I have joined a new gym...(JJB in Widnes) I even got interviewed on Radio Merseyside on a treadmill....

It was all to do with the 'opt out' rather than 'opt in' method of going on the transplant register.

For those of you who have been living on the moon for the last few days - the law may change so everyone is an organ donor unless they opt out....

I am also writing an article on it for the Lichfield Mercury and a similar piece will go in the Widnes World...

My lung capacity was about 25 per cent of what it should be last time I went to Newcastle - but I am hoping it will have improved now...

I did some cricket nets in Stourbridge last weekend and realised how far I still have to go before I can play seriously again...If I ever will be able to...

Got my health M.O.T at Heartlands in Bimringham on Friday - oh the joy eh?

So what's new? Well.... Got lots of holiday to take before April and am having next week off - Just going to enjoy doing as little as possible and catching up with friends.

Got a couple of baltis and a lot of coffees organised. I expect a bit of drinking may be involved too.

Decided my resoltion for the year is to have the lung capacity to jog, even if it is only for a minute...I can walk briskly for 15 mins on the treadmill, but cannot run.

How far I still have to go was banged into me when I tried to do cricket nets with some friends in Stourbridge last weekend....Lasted about 10 minutes batting..

My arms still feel like they are made of lead!

Work has been busy with the Capital Of Culture stuff coming off...And trying to get my head round the job evaluation and other worky stuff.

I have changed gym and have got a new appetite for destruction. I have found a strange machine which just seems to shake you about..

I am slowly building up the minutes and at least I have MTV Dance to watch..

At least I now know my BMI (Body Mass Index) is 25.9 and my fat index is 20.6 per cent (which is between good and excellent)...

I digress...I was disappointed I couldn't watch the Villa game there - but went to the Eight Towers pub and was the only Villa fan with a load of Scousers....

But they were friendly!

Hiya Folks,

Hope Christmas was good and everyone had a great New Year - My health is improving thanks and hope to be on form soon...fingers crossed...

Christmas was busy - highlights included Wigan v Villa, several nights at the Park Gate - bumping into someone I hadn't seen for 20 years, long saunas in Cannons...

It was good to catch up with the old village mob and I actually saw my Brummie cousins for the first time in two years!

Widnes was cold and wet when I got back. The house needs to be lived in for it to warm up I think......

Spent NYE in Chester at a party near the centre. It was good, enough people to make it interesting but not too many so you didn't get to speak to some people...
