Naala the cat prefers fresh water

Our cat has taken to a new routine.  Every morning when I head to the shower, she is there in the bathroom to get her drink and wash behind her ears.  It was cute the first time, but now her beauty routine is taking longer than I do to get ready in the morning.

She has also taken to killing birds.  She claimed her second yesterday.  I know it's her nature, but to come home to feathers everywhere is not a pretty site.  I think I'm going to have to get a bell but her neck is so small, I don't know if they make them for Devon Rex's?!  Anyone?

Enjoy your day.

Personal trainer recommendation

If you are looking for a passionate, motivating, and very positive personal trainer, I highly recommend Carrie Hogan.  She will motive, support and encourage you to stay fit, tone and healthy for ever.  Carrie doesn't just help you with exercise, she also has tips on healthier eating habits and general ways to improve your life.  An hour with Carrie and you will feel like a new person and full of energy!  See her web site for more details.

Something to look forward to!

It's always good to have something to look forward to.  It boosts your spirit!  And when there is a good deal to go with it, even better.  I've just booked to see Phantom of the Opera with my 11 year old daughter with the book one adult ticket and kids go free offer.  See details on  http://www.kidsweek.co.uk/.  There are hundreds of shows and events and it's good for a bonding day or family day.  Enjoy

Keep the little grey cells working

We know that our brains are like muscles and we have to keep using and challenging them to increase our memories and recall.  People who take classes, do word games, read, etc. will have their wits about them longer than those who don't.  The nice thing is today you can learn something new for free, take a day class, trade out services (like learning a new language) on places like Gumtree, or join a club or volunteer.  Again, just do it and you will reap the rewards as time goes by.  So what are you waiting for?  Do it today.  Take action.  Always take action to move yourself forward!

Personally I'm on a fitness challenge and having my iPad teach me how to play Chess.  It's fun and easy.

Enjoy!

Hot Yoga & Yoga Mama

I am on my way to better fitness thanks to House of Yoga on the Upper Richmond Road.  They offer Hot Yoga and it is a combination of muscle toning and cardio so I love the combination.  The instructors are all experienced and you can really attend any class and do the positions which suit your level best.  I am slowly building holding my poses and stretches and you feel great after an hour of doing it.  If you hate sweating in a hot room this isn't for you, but you truly feel fantastic after the class!

If you prefer the more traditional yoga class, where you get the same workout without the heated room, you can't beat Yoga Mama at The Putney Clinic of Physical Therapy.  Anyone who has attended one of Cherie's classes, knows she is the best in Putney.  http://www.yogamama.co.uk/

Good health.
