Hi I'm back in Blogland. Had a great couple of days in the New Park Manor Spa, which I really needed. Life at work has become so tense it's so nice to escape to the Oasis of Steam, Water, Bubbles and a good dose of Motivation from our Wil.

I am gradually realising the importance of the detail in exercise. Doing press ups on the gym ball, it's important just to use those stomach muscles rather than using other bits for leverage. And keeping hips straight, knees and shoulders relaxed etc.......then you can really feel the muscles doing their stuff!!

I get tension headaches/migrains and over the last few days it's been constant, exercise really helps so I think I must do some exercise at the end of each day to work it off and out.

Today is the 1st anniversary of Bath Spa and New Park Manor. So CONGRATULATIONS to everyone there.

Hit the dieting doldrums a bit today. I haven't fallen off the wagon but sometimes when you've been doing something for a while you sind yourself surfing rather than swimming. So today was a good day to get recharged and re-envisioned.

Some Goals to work towards in the near future.

Had a gorgeous day in Dorset for the Iona regional meeting last Saturday. It's such a lovely group of people. We had two of the chaplains in Bournemouth talking about their work. John who is the chaplain to the night clubs of Bournemouth and Stu chaplain to Bournemouth and Poole College. Both incredibly inspiring and honest about the work in Bournemouth and Poole.
