I was going to go for a cycle ride today but I did my stupid thing again and talked myself out of it. Why?
I did have to go and buy two birthday presents though. One for my friend's son who is 18 on Sunday and one for another friend who's birthday is also Sunday.
I decided to go to an out of town place where there is a very big M & S and Asda next to each other. I got a few mega bargains in M & S but nothing really significant individually.
I did find a nice watch for Brett's 18th and it was only £15. On my way into the car park I got a terrific chest pain that didn't really go away. It didn't hurt as much as the initial pain but it was still there.
I decided to go and see the doctor on the way home but as it was only around 1.30pm there would be no doctor in until 4pm so I went home.
Thought it was prudent to rest today so that's the first day with no exercise in January.

January 19th
At last it is a no work day and what do I get up to? Nothing in particular. How annoying. I did go aquarunning this evening though so all was not lost.

Another day at work but was office bound all day. It was okay but nothing exciting.
Just a quick walk round the block again with the dogs after work as it was parent's evening at school. So 1.5 miles again.
Today was also the seventh anniversary of my dad dying!

Today was a busy day at work and I managed to get out to do my visits in good time. I didn't have as many as usual as they are running the visits down at the moment as I am being seconded to help with more routine work so will not be out and about visiting until April. Oh well at least I won't be out in the freezing cold.
I finished my visits early and managed to get out for a quick walk with the dogs. Just round the block which is 1.5 miles. It is my stepson, Tom's 21st today and we were going out for a meal but I had to get to Slimming World as well as have a shower before the meal.
I was chuffed to bits that I lost another 4lb this week so 9lb lost in just two weeks.
We then went out to the Aagrah for Tom's birthday meal. There were about 15 of us and Tom enjoyed his night. I didn't stick to my diet but I didn't go stupid just because it was a buffet.

Working today so nothing too exciting to tell.
Went aquarunning in the evening. It's certainly getting busier in there.

Today was a Coach Ramble day. We were picked up in Bradford and transported to Pateley Bridge in North Yorkshire.
It was very cold, frosty but lovely and sunny - a perfect Winter's day.
We set off out of the town and straight up a hill. My legs have just about forgotten what hills are about so they did ache a bit but got there okay. The views from the top were fabulous. Everyone was well wrapped up and in good spirits. There was some interesting chatting going on.
There were three new girls on the walk and I made a point of talking to them to make them feel welcome. They all seemed very nice.
At lunchtime we stopped to eat by a derelict mining building which was down the side of a hill. However one of the guys suddenly slipped down the frosty hillside and landed awkwardly. He said he was okay but was uncomfortable when we were eating.
After lunch we set off again. The weather was being very kind to us.
One of the other guys, Peter had literally just got back from New Zealand the day before and I think the jet lag was beginning to catch up with him. Alan, who had hurt his ankle earlier was struggling too so they decided to take a shorter route back to the town.
Meanwhile we carried on with our circular work and got back into town a bit later on. It was only 8 miles in total but what a glorious day it had been.
We then went back to the coach, got changed and headed for a pub where we had a carvery meal. Being on a diet I was very good and only had a few syns.

Not a lot planned for today so went out with the dawgies for a nice walk on the moor. The weather was cold, crisp and sunny and we did about two miles plus lots and lots of ball throwing.
A good to be alive day (as long as you're well wrapped up)
