Fit to drop

How easily it is to get confused - especially at my age. I meant to say it was myself and the husband that was away, and we locked the manse cat out of the office, so he wouldn't get any fancy ideas. Anyway we're back now.
However, we both came back to a nasty stomach bug, and have only just recovered. It was not helped by the manse cat's attempts to look after us. Jumping up and down on the bed at two in the morning was not welcome as we'd only just got to sleep having said hello to our friends Ralph, Hughey and Bert with the help of the bedside bucket.
Mind you, having lost weight in the process and taking tentative steps to regain our eating habits (Braving mince and tatties tonight after a week of soup, jelly and macaroni cheese - not all at the same time, I may add) I decided that now might be the time to start my New Year's resolutions of getting fitter and leaner. I never got going and now I have a head start, and what's a couple of months between friends?
I also have great intentions to join a Women's Football League trying to get going in Orkney, but afraid I might not last 50 yards or 5 minutes on the pitch.
I've always wanted to play football regularly, but only got the odd match with a work team (all male) when I lived in London. We played at primary, but only because, with just 12 kids at the school, if the boys wanted a kick around we had to be allowed to join in.
It's 15 years since I gave up playing hockey. (I usually ended up playing in goal and I decided standing in the wet and snow until a fast hard ball goes flashing past your face was not the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon!)
I'm now at the age where things are seizing up, so it will take great will and effort to get the momentum to start an exercise routine and then get to a point where I won't be totally embarrassed by slight young things whizzing around me as if I should be using a zimmer.
There must be loads of people building their stamina for the fank, not to mention dusting down boned garments to keep the figure trim (and that's just the men).
If anyone has any good tips on exercise and incentives for keeping going (and out of the biscuit tin) I'd love to hear them.

get it right madlamb, YOU are not confused - it's the rest of the world not understanding you - and as for exercise, that's the beauty of not being a teenager any more (and I know you aren't so don't fib) you can do it for pleasure or you can ignore it, it'll all be the same 500 years from now.
jas from sitting comfortably thank you
JAS - I'm glad someone reads my blog.
Everyone else is obviously busy preparing for the Fank.
Mad Lamb from a far from the bisuits as possible
Sorry you've been poorly Madlamb.
We always keep a pillowcase or two full of dried carageen on standby for making seaweed pudding - an ideal cure for iffy tummies. Think we've already mentioned the toning qualities of seaweed wraps. Ah, the joys of seaweed - such a versatile ingredient Good luck.

I beg to report that i have a sick computer & let's not mention extended guarantees, i don't think swearing is allowed!!!! anyhoo my visits to the blog are likely to be erratic over the next wee while between having to pinch the son's machine and fighting with Mia for typing rights! And all when I've been following the fank saga with bated breath.
