Life Chez Dee Episode #123: Pounds for Pounds
Have you seen me lately? You might have missed me, there’s a lot less of me now than there was 6 months ago. I’ve been trying to lose weight, and really making a conscious effort to, but in a way which was not only going to be effective, but also steady and indeed sustainable. The science is all there. Consume less than you burn in energy and the weight will come off. It’s true. But it’s been hard. I’m not as young as I once was, and just cutting down, doesn’t actually cut

Life Chez Dee Episode #87: Walking With Poles
Walking … we all know the benefits of getting out there in the great outdoors, blowing off the cobwebs and getting a healthy dose of fresh air in the lungs. The most convenient, cheapest, and safest exercise to do, good for our physical, and mental wellbeing, and anyone can do it. I’ve always enjoyed walking … just a stroll by myself or with friends; a long walk with the family; or something more purposeful on a day out somewhere. Flat walks, circular walks or steep walks … u

Life Chez Dee Episode #71: Solace in Silence
I’ve been a little quiet publicly lately, for a variety of reasons, and it’s been a while since I sat to write a blog. I have of course still been writing, albeit not publicly, it’s something I don’t really ever stop doing. For me, writing and thinking go hand in hand, thoughts channelled and poured out onto paper, my mind emptied of things which don’t need to be in there anymore, leaving room and space for clarity. I know there is a notion that when someone is quiet, that th

Life Chez Dee Episode #51: Valentine's thoughts
Valentine’s Day … What does that day say to me? Well it evokes so many emotions for me. The first thing which comes to mind for me, and most people I’d guess, is love. Love for a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend. The person you fancy who gets the card with the question mark. Should it be made obvious who sent it, or should it be left for them to wonder … The latter probably being a recipe for upset, and thankfully (she says with much relief) something I’ve never had to ex

Life Chez Dee Episode #48: Time
I think if I had to sum up all the things which have helped, and still help me through difficult days, I’d have to say time … and I don’t really mean that in the sense of quantity; or in the sense of measurable or quantifiable; I don’t mean a timescale of one date to another … when I say time I refer to this in terms of time doing what I needed to do, and being who I needed to be … time out; time to think; time to process; time to be; time taken willingly; and time which was

Life Chez Dee Episode #34: Walking with Oli
I know I’ve written quite a few blogs about my adventures out and about with the Nordic walkers, but today was rather special for me. Oliver is still on school holidays and asked if he could come with me; I cleared it with Ewa, but I knew deep down she’d be okay with it, he was with me, and he’d already proved himself capable of coping and keeping up when he’d walked with the group before. He’d had his first taste of effective walking when he came along with Bart, Ewa and lot

Life Chez Dee Episode #30: Floating
Well this is something a bit different … I went for a float. For those who don’t know what that is, I’ll explain, but I think it’s probably best to rewind to how this all came about. Rossco’s Float Rooms have opened not far from me in Ansdell. I noticed that they had opened fairly recently, and I’ve often wondered about what it was all about, as I’ve driven past. It’s always caught my eye, even late at night, when Ross is still there clearly attending customers with late appo

Life Chez Dee Episode #27: Walking is good for my body, mind, soul and writing
Today I went for a walk …. A Nordic walk. Those of you who read my blogs regularly, will know how much I love Nordic Walking. I’m hooked. I’ve skipped a few sessions. We’ve been away on holiday, and of course the Summer Holidays have made things a bit tricky for me to go for my walk with poles as I need to be around for Oliver. That’s not to say that I’ve not been walking, goodness no. We’ve done lots of walking during the summer holidays, and particularly on our break in Cor

Life Chez Dee Episode #14: Its good to walk
I’ve just been for another walk today … you might even be able to call me a “Nordic walker” now. I only messaged Bart to say I was going this morning, as I wasn’t sure I’d be there at all. I had such a shocking day yesterday …. a complete write off … well most of the day was at least. I hardly ever get headaches … but yesterday I woke with a bit of a nagging one … didn’t really pay it much heed – went on the school run, had lots of water to drink, but by the time I got back h

Life Chez Dee Episode #12: It's good to talk
To lose a child is unimaginable for many; but a painful reality to others. Losing a child destroys you, your family, your life …. forever. I’ve always talked very openly about my feelings; my experience, and people have been extremely understanding and supportive, and I’ve found my openness and honesty has been welcomed by many. I hope I have opened up conversation about child loss, death, grief; and I hope that this has helped others who have had a similar experience; and fo

Life Chez Dee Episode #8: Walking with Poles
So today I decided to try out Nordic walking. I’ve been thinking for quite some time now that I need to get back to getting my backside into gear and doing a bit of exercise. I’m so busy with so many things; the kids, the charity, just life in general, and its so easy to get out of the habit of exercise, and, certainly in my case, pile the pounds on too. I’ve done power walking before, well fast walking anyhow. I tried doing fast walking rather than running as I hated running
