I have taken to getting people to help out with the lawns, and things around the house. Today I had a friends and his son around to knock down some old concrete steps. Sledge hammering big time. Very solid concrete.

They had a good go at it, and our family and other friends all had a go.

The result - sore muscles, blisters, and very satisfied with the days work. We have not got it totally finished, but very pleased with progress. The last bit is the actual steps - they seem to be solid concrete. And given that we have broken the handle of the sledge hammer, they will have to wait another day to get finished off.

I have been trying to use our weight machine so as to get some exercise. I did some pressups this morning, then the concrete hammering... not a good combination when your arms are tired already. But the exercise must help with general fitness, something I have not been getting a lot of until recently. Sitting at a computer all hours of the day is not the best for fitness.

Hi di hi travelers down the weight loss path

We have a new toy. A Renewed Reflections blog for everyone!!!

Whooppeeee.

Now the question is - how are we going to use it?

We still want discussion on the main forums, so what is the blog meant to be for?

• YOUR personal space!!!
• For you to define.
• Your personal journey
• A post to introduce yourself
• A post for your ongoing pics
• A diary for your ongoing journey

• where we are asking for community comment, we need to put these on the main forum.

I will be talking with the other mods about how this is to be used, and will add more guidelines here.

More than anything (at least for starters), its for us all to define how it is to be used!

Go for it!!!!!
