I'm doing 43 things
is on the cards.
But I am rather tired and rather grumpy.
Where is charm when I need it?
Shall I change into something red and eye catching?
Will that cheer me up?

How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: Asked the personal trainer to write down the exercises and then dutifully entered them here. This is so that I can keep track of improvement over time. Read how I did it…
It made me
Satisfied
How I did it: Sat down every morning and planned the tasks necessary to accomplish on that particular day.Am quite unrealistic about what I can do, but at least I am whittling away at the 'to do' list. Read how I did it…
It made me
sad 
How I did it: She was here one day, and gone the next. She did not appear to be ill. We put up notices, we called the vets and the animal shelters, I entered details on a 'missing pets' website.All to no avail. We have no idea at all about where mother cat is, or if she met an untimely end somehow. Read how I did it…

I threw a fairly restrained but rather firm tantrum.
The pipe must be replaced.
End of story.
Because our personal trainer is leaving on Friday morning to participate in the Midmar dam mile swim.
Last year, one swimmer appaerntly had a heart attach and died – his body was found about a week later.
We wonder what precautions that have taken this year?

15 min treadmill wlak, 6kn hour, 1.48 km;
3 sets of:
Step up knee lift 4 kg X 10;
Bicep curl full/ half 4 kg X 10.
3 sets of: Lunge dips 4 kg X 10;
Tricep dips 10.
3 sets of:
