I other words Legs, Bum and Tum aerobic session (boxercise cancelled again sniff sniff) in the hope of one day being able to buy a Little Black Dress whilst using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy exercises to get through hour of exercising. Interesting class today: new teacher and new weird and not so wonderful contraptions including a long piece of plastic stretchy thing you tight up and put round your ankles to add resistance. Surprisingly hard work as it happens but after one hour felt so much better and now ready to tackle day head on, including helping kiddies with homework.
Good news weight front, finally seems to be shifting a bit more speedily, so hoping that by 31st December I will have reached my first target which I will keep secret for the moment as still too humiliating and shameful.
Been enjoying a few days of plenty of reading and rediscovering books from bygone years. Re-reading Sartes's "L'existentialsme est un humanisme" which as all the hand written notes I took when at secondary school. "Quand nous disons que l'homme est responsable de lui meme, nous ne voulons pas dire que l'homme est responsable de sa stricte individualité, mais qu'il est responsable de tous les hommes" (when one says that man is responsible for himself we do not mean responsible for himself as an indivivual but responsible for all of humanity" . OK, fairly taxing, not something to read when half asleep, but great to get one's mind thinking and challenge either one's thoughts or the thoughts of the writer.
Think a bit of alexander Mccall Smith later will be necessary to rest the poor brain which isn't used to functioning to its full capacity.
Well, better be off to help kiddies with their homework now, before a spot of therapeutic baking, playing with children, and mindful reading.
