Project Unstoppable Days 8 – 12: Not only yoga…

Mostly yoga, but not only yoga! Day 8 was Wednesday, it was another horrendously rainy rainy day here in the UK! Yes I know we should be used to it but somehow it is even more rainy than normal… This is relevant as it is curtailing my desire to do outside activities. I did however…… Continue reading Project Unstoppable Days 8 – 12: Not only yoga…

Project Unstoppable Day 4 -7: Weekend walking and weekday workouts

I said I’d have to combine days on occasion and it was always likely to be the weekends (ok and Mondays and Tuesdays too) 🙂 Not to worry though, I got my exercise in and that is the main thing. Saturday (day 4) involved dashing around the country to visit houses we ma or may…… Continue reading Project Unstoppable Day 4 -7: Weekend walking and weekday workouts

Project Unstoppable Day 2: Yoga and Shoulders

More yoga! As I said previously, doing yoga always makes me think I should do more yoga… so I thought I’d try to take my own advice!

Ok, enough of all that lets get to the point… Yes, there is a point! If you are a long time reader you may…… Continue reading Get right back to where we started from…

53 tonnes!

One month ago I pulled a massive, 53 tonne truck!! I have been meaning to tell you about it since then because it is one of the best things I have ever done and I am super proud of myself! This post is not about false modesty and any of that stuff, this post is…… Continue reading 53 tonnes!

Covid stopped play…

I mean not like it did in 2020 where the whole world stopped, but it stopped my play… and my work… and my ability to do anything much. All in all it was generally unpleasant and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. On top of that I had managed to go so long without catching…… Continue reading Covid stopped play…

Hello there chaps! That was a close shave I can tell you! I managed to squeak out of the door and syphon Olivia off before she got a good view of what was going on, or if she did see, she kept it under her hat, well, not hat…

Motivation by the truck load…

It may be obvious by the general lack of updates, that the mop of demotivation has reared its dank and musty head once more I have still been training, but it has been a little more sporadic than I would like, which means that, although I am making progress, it is slower than I want…… Continue reading Motivation by the truck load…
