It is always a challenge for me: I live in a beauiful home back in SA and had all my routines (including exercising with my dear friend, Ida from South Africa) so to uproot myself and come to HOT (o so hot) and dusty Khartoum, I needed to really reassess my goals and set up a routine soon after arriving. You are a STAR - you are doing so well. Blessings and hugs.

I have to say, the stair running doesn't sound fun at all, but running on the roof in the dark in illicit clothes with a "torch" sounds quite dramatic! You could write a short story--sounds like a movie! <br /><br />I love the support you give me, Jo.

(((Hugs))) Jo <br /><br />Hi Lynda;) you're so right: if anyone saw me, well... Ah, when my hubby took half my salad last week, my heart sank.(ha!)It was my "portion" But in the end it was for the better: I can make that salad again as a light lunch. Yes, the olives and feta are the draw card. Thanks for reminding me about the lunges and squats. I did them this morning! You are such a good mother, Lynda. Never mind - just tending to your little ones has slimmed you down beautifully. You looked stunning when we met you in Gonubie last year. (((Hugs))) Jo <br /><br />Hi Regina;) good to see you again. Is it cold in the Phillipines at this time of the year. Early morning exercise is necessary here all seasons because of the incredible heat. Bless you, my friend.

Makes me feel guilty as since having my baby 7 months ago, my exercise regime has gone 'out the window' so to speak. <br /><br />As you know, I used to work out daily (cardio & strength training/light weights) ahhhh .... my muscle tone must still be hiding somewhere under all the baby fat, 'eh ?! <br /><br />Anyway, also had a little chuckle at the thought of someone perhaps catching a glimpse of you running laps around your rooftop in the dark with a torch - you know you would forever be branded 'that crazy Western woman !' ... too funny ;) LOL<br /><br />Hubby just came in and saw your lovely salad photo over my shoulder .... "oh look !" he said "Jo's posted a recipe for a lovely looking salad" (he likes the look of the cheese, I reckon !). I think he's dropping a hint ;)<br /><br />(((HUGS))) to you my super-duper-running-on-the-roof-friend (and don't forget the squats & lunges !)Diary From Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191543533838372003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-46447612803287796502010-01-14T18:42:16.564+02:002010-01-14T18:42:16.564+02:00Jo, you need to come and visit me.

However, I used to go to spinning in South Africa every freezing, dark morning the winter.

Ek het vir drie jaar alleen geoefen in Wes Afrika (3.30vm - voor die mans die gym bestorm het) Dus is hierdie maar weer net optel en gaan weer. Ek voel TONNE beter noudat ek weer aan die gang is. Het juis vanoggend 12 "laps" op die dak gedraf en begin dit geniet. Dankie vir jou liefde en aanmoediging!
