I was looking back on a post from last year, and it seems I am somewhat in the same psotion.
Last year, we had every intention of sorting the kids bedrooms out, and I wanted to try and get fit, lose a little weight… but it didn’t happen.
I ended up lethargic, and unable to do anything. The fear or many things was whirling in my brain, and on the last day of the holidays I got the courage up to to to the doctors.
I was diagnosed with an extremely low Vitamin D level, so put on really high dosage supplements! It seems to be the trend nowadays, everyone has a Vit D issue!
But I was good, and things started out ok… until I forgot to take them, and the tiredness crept back in. It took me a while for my sunshine deprived brain to realise that I had been forgetting something important every morning! But I did remember, and I am back on them. I hope this holiday, we can accomplish what we wanted to last summer!
I’m prepared!
And I kick-started my trying to get healthy past by going for a walk in the Gurdwara playing field, which is a stone’s throw away from the house, yesterday evening, with the kids. It was so peaceful!
Serenity in the sports field!
And this morning, I managed a lie in, which was wonderful, with no night time visitors, except for the furry kind, and his was the face I woke up to this morning too!
I am currently packing for a few days at my parents, with the kids, and then the big makeover of the rooms will start! And I feel pumped! We will achieve this this year!
But I Smile Anyway...

I see that you are a Costco-ista from the Kirkland brand on the Vitamin bottle.

Exercise — Nothing is better for achy knees than walking and stretches.
If you’re as ancient as I am you have to go to the doctor and get cleared for exercise first.
When I am in a blogging session I try to get up every 15 minutes and stretch…or I do some strenuous house work.
I have a very clean home. 🙂

I blame my cat! 3 years ago when I was on a health and fitness kick I was exercising. Sonu Singh our cat was a 5 month old kitty and he thought I was playing with him as I was doing lunges. Avoiding him resulted in me twisting my knee! It’s just weak now since then!!!
