long time no blog....body balance

more time.. but weirdly ...no blogs...go figure ????

So this is a review on my body balance class..

And I guess I could blame them for not having time to blog....but...I'd be lying!!!

I do a class twice a week...it is a Les Mills class  https://www.lesmills.com/  ...and I absolutely love them



Yes course I feel exhausted because I do push myself.... but no pain no gain.....and these are the gains....

benefits I feel I get  
  • stronger
  • leaner
  • more supple
  • more flexible
  • fitter
  • improved balance
  • better core strength
  • more relaxed
they are suitable for all ages and all fitness levels... as you work to your own level and of course you see improvementsall the time

i have definitley seen improvements especially my flexibility and balance

In the beginning I thought I'll never get better...but I have and I intend to stick at it and get even better

The best I can possibly be...


and lets face it ...we owe it to ourselves to be the best we canImage result for be the best you can be

inevitable..it was not going to last

I think its fair to say that I knew the new job was not going to be for me!!!
Right from day one..I found it very stressful, shocking, heart breaking..
And yes , as the week went on it got marginally better, but it was painfully obvious to see, it was not going to be for me....
I gave it 2 weeks ...and that was enough...more than enough...
Of course I am disappointed in myself , I was sure I could do it...but having no experience of this type of work ...how could I possibly know....went in blind
Image result for head in the sandAnd boy did I get my eyes opened!!!!!
 ( didnt need to know my destiny!!! )
I definitly prefer to bury my head in the sand 

My heart goes out to those that can do this job...Saints I would call them

So as they say...Another one bites the dust!!!!

so its back to the drawing board ... cv's at the ready

well its all over now

 When you open the very big box of Thorntons that you have managed to save since christmas...
 and they are even nicer
than what you thought they 

mmmmmmm
well I thought I needed cheering up..
Yep its fair to say I know exactly what I'm 
going to doing tonight
And there's more...2 more layers

when you just know

So its been 3 days this week at my new job...and this is the end of my 2nd week!!!
to be perfectly honest, I dont know how I lasted this long....
And there's more
Yesterday was my 1st day visiting the patients at home on my own... and yes its fair to say its not my 'cup of tea' (another one of my sayings..... an example of an english idiom... If something is not your cup of tea, you don't like it or you are not interested in it. )
And there's more....according to my boss, yesterday was an easy day!!!!  should get an early finish.... 'errr no'
( depends if you are prepared to go in/out without spending any time with these vunerable people I suppose )
Image result for a smile costs nothingThese dear, mainly old people just want the same as the rest of us...a little bit of company, and compassion, someone to be kind to them and give them a little bit of time, a smile.... this job definitly does not allow for that.... 
so a visit that should take 15 mins at most ( as suggested by my boss) is taking me over 30 mins...so that dosnt take much calculating to see why I had a late day!!!

so the time has come to make a decision.... 

  • do I need this job financially/for personal reasons
  • do I need the stress
  • realisitically am I going to get the training that i have been promised..or should i accept the truth that it is too late to train for a new career
  • should I give it it a longer trial
  • am I ever going to enjoy this type of job
  • am I going to regret giving up too soon
  • what am I trying to prove to myelf
  • No time to do the things I love doing..cycling/fitness classes... mainly because Im nakered ( emotionally mostly )
So many decisions... and to top it off I have a really bad head cold..( and no I wouldnt dream of saying Ive got it from one of my lovly patients  Image result for emoji faces wink
