Day 200 (!) - Finally …

Bill Wallace — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:21:53 +0000

With all my thinking about exercise I finally bit the bullet and did some. (thank you, thank you, please, no, you are too kind!) Sunday I got out for a walk around the bridges circuit (pictures wouldn’t transfer from phone, still working on it) which is around 10km … in 34C heat. The FBH [...]

Day 198 - 10km Walk Today

Bill Wallace — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 04:55:42 +0000

It’s Sunday afternoon, early. There is a mild breeze wafting through our backyard. It’s currently 29.3C and it’s a glorious spring day. The FBH mentioned last night there was a 10km walk today and we decided to enter. I had a quick look at the ad in the paper for the Big Walk and saw that [...]

Day 197 - Alltop - All Good

Bill Wallace — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 09:43:52 +0000

One thing that is helping me stay focused on getting fit and staying fit is reading what others are doing about their own regimes. I read quite a few blogs regularly. Some because the writer is so different from me and others because I feel some affiliation to them, that I am contending with similar [...]

Day 192 - Eating Journal

Bill Wallace — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:21:06 +0000

Exercise has taken a back seat lately. I tell the world this just for those who may also struggle. It’s rarely a physical thing. We can all walk, stagger and stumble forward. It’s just whether we want to or not. And at the moment, to be totally honest I guess I just don’t want to [...]

Day 187 - The Books are Gooone!

Bill Wallace — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:41:31 +0000

Woohoo! The book (Art of Possibility) have all been dished out. Well done to: Andrew E Andrew H Dave W If you email me your postal address They’ll be winging their way to you tomorrow. (Forgot to chuck them in the backpack today - sorry about that!) Andrew E - I obviously have your address so no need to send [...]

Day 187 - A Couple of Runs and a Free Book

Bill Wallace — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 23:01:51 +0000

For those of you who missed it I had 3 copies of the Art of Possibility to give away and still have 1 left if anyone is keen. (Both Andrews were quick to snap up the first two copies and they are winging there way to Victoria and NZ by the end of the week.) There’s [...]

Day 184 - Give Yourself an ‘A’

Bill Wallace — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:02:50 +0000

I am a huge fan of the book The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Ben Zander. So much of a fan that every now and then I buy 5 or so copies to give away. I just bought another 5 and gave one each to my son and daughter (they would have preferred the cash [...]

Day 182 - Back to Work (sigh!)

Bill Wallace — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 23:16:04 +0000

After my hiatus on everything healthy and a 9 day break from work I am back to the office today. Really looking forward to all those “unread” emails and flashing messages on the phone. Luckily I put up an “Out of Office” message so the emails won’t be too enormous but I am sure there [...]

Day 180 - One Day at a Time - Slowly

Bill Wallace — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:15:42 +0000

What happens when you have a smallish breakfast, spend the rest of the day out and about and drink only a couple of coffees? You eat! A lot! I spent the day out in Fremantle yesterday and just whiled away the hours doing a spot of reading, not really feeling like food but had a couple of [...]

Day 179 - A New Beginning

Bill Wallace — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:00:28 +0000

It’s funny how a blog makes you accountable. A few things have been happening in my world that have caused me not to blog lately and then, due to the lack of blogging, I have felt a little embarrassed at not blogging, and therefore, have not blogged! (And it’s been a month! 30 days!) If that [...]
