My Trainers Died Today

My trainers were bought for me from a charity shop nearly 2 years ago. They have served me well. But after a very long illness they have finally passed to the great feet in the sky.


I wish I could say they died of athletes foot but I am no athlete 😁

I have walked many a mile in them through parks, towns, cities, fields, cemeteries, churches, meadows, forests and many other places where my curiousity took me. I will miss them, as a true believer I feel the reason to have trainers is to walk, run, jump and play in them. Not to have in plastic cases as a sign of decoration and the proof of ones own status in the accumulation of assets in the form of trainers made in the far east under hideous working conditions. 

I have managed to purchase a new pair as I had to due to the fact that one of the trainers nearly fell apart on one of my walks (see next picture). 

Not a pretty sight. I will have a small ceremony for my beloved trainer's and wish them well in the afterlife as all good soles go to the great feet in the sky. 

Fare thee well my trustworthy servant, I will remember you with fondness and absolute gratitude for your service.

A Rich Vein

When things are shifting your way a tad and the things you want to change are, then it is important to keep going. Consistency is key to all things in life and getting to one's target point requires that continuous effort. Far too often the cogs stop and the motivation disintegrates in a pool of self hatred and a sense of failure. Of course there will be dips, troughs and slumps but you have to negotiate these and toss them aside.Getting back on that path in that rich vein of consistency is key to reaching one's long term goals. And when that point arrives it's even more important to stay with the consistency to stop, what seems like an automated response, reverting back to old ways and negative behaviours. My body is a lot slower now I am in my 60's, along with my brain and enthusiasm for life. Only by getting back into the things that drove my passions, in my more productive days, can I hope to keep a longevity with my well-being. Aspects of my health are improving an...

A LongTime

Well it's been a long time since my last post, but that is not to say that things have not been occurring. Back in May I started to focus on the ever popular 10,000 steps per day. A very arbitrary figure and a thing that seems to attract a few more people to exercise or at least more movement, which is a positive thing. I set out tondo 10,000 steps per day as recorded on my Google Fit app attached to my phone. In June I ammended this to 12,000 steps on work days and 20,000 steps if it was not a work day. As of today 29th June I am averaging 120,000 steps per week.  Walking alone cannot bring about the health outcomes that I am seeking. Focusing on my habitual eating patterns and changing things  what I am consuming will  better for me and in turn better for the planet. An example of this is the not eating bread at home any longer. By not purchasing a loaf of bread that I will pig out on at home has been a good move. I have not given up bread but merely removed...
