i forgot to add that yesterday i went to the gym - first time in god knows how many years. well they did this health assessment - which was fine till they measured my height. now i am old but i didnt think i was old enough to have shrunk lol. i was shocked when the guy said to me i was only 5'9 and a half . what has happend to the other inch and a half. where has it gone. when did it go. i am distraught. if anyone finds it can they let me know......................

this mornign i was up at 6 and in the gym at 6.30 - i had no trouble with the bike and rowing machine unfortunately the treadmill was another story. i started slow and built up the speed but then made a grave error and tried to speed it up to 10 kph at which point there was a bit of staggering and arm waving and i only just managed to stay on the bloody thing. This has not enamoured me of the treadmill especially as i have been known to fall off them before - i will have to try again tomorrow and see if i can have a little more success - it cant be that difficult surely...........
