Yep! Obsessive is good definitely, it's the ONLY way I achieve anything at all.

Hubby has just said that I am looking slimmer. I think I am going to cry.

Now it makes sense! Surely that's :
This is no ordinary crab. This is marks and Spencer's line caught Scottish wild crab.....
Once in a lift in marks and Spencer's. Floor announced by husky woman and I couldn't help myself. Quite spontaneously I piped up in a lift full of strangers....
This is no ordinary lift....
No, this is a marks and Spencer's lift. Everyone laughed..... Hopefully not at me!

OK so my son who has worked away from home all week went straight from work to a footie tournament, then phoned to say he was going to eat and then go a friends house. My question is do you reckon he will be home before I go for my morning walk?

Added an additional loop to one of my usual routes and managed a 50 minute walk at lunchtime.

I like the way you have extended your exercise, as I was told by physio we should do that every six to eight weeks.

2 1/2 hrs staggering round Fountains Abbey. I'm sure it wasn't so hilly when I went 25 years ago. Too worn out now to do anything other than eat my tea and wash up.

Oh, I am so envious. Last time I was there I had a hired mobility scooter, which broke down, so I had to be rescued by one of their 'hurry up wagons'. They put scooter on back of flat back truck and me in minibus. Then trapped my finger in the door.
That was one of my better days out in recent years.

Lidl sell them as to Aldi. I think Aldi may be the cheapest. My local health food shop had them cheaper than Holland and Barrett!
I have all the different varieties and I use them for different things. I use the one with blueberries and sesame in plain yogurt as a desert at lunchtimes when I'm at work. The plain one or the one with goji berries I mix with ground almonds and eggs to make blinis. The blinis are nice with cream cheese or anything really. As I can't take a normal sized portion of porridge I add flax and/ground almonds to fill it out. The almonds give a creaminess which is good because I make it with water.

Yesterday: 45 minutes brisk walk in the evening. 15 minutes YouTube Zumba at lunchtime.

If you want to have a go: go to YouTube
Type in Zumba exercise and press return - don't select one of the options on the drop down menu
The video is about the third one down . It shows a group of ladies and the leader has line green leggings on. It's 16 minutes and split into 3 or 4 routines. Easy to follow. It's great for the arms too!

It's called Latin dance fitness for beginners

I do it via the interactive whiteboard in my classroom... It's more realistic!

oh dear. There were points at which I'd like to have had hired a mobility scooter too. I'm sure last time we went, you more or less parked next to the abbey grounds- this time there was a nice downhill stroll to it which of course was a not so nice uphill hike on the way back.

Fantastic, peacetrain. .
You show how to be practical is finding a solution to the problem of fitting exercise into a busy day.
I do not have the balance or stamina to do zumba, and I don't know how you manage to teach afterwards. I did try aqua zumba and it was fun, but as much of the time was spent in me trying to understand and follow the moves not much time was spent exercising. I will have to see if there are any more aqua zumba classes and give it a go.

But the numb bum has got to be a toned bum after all that exercise.
 
A long lie in after a busy week. A bit rough this morning allergy flare up.
Good news is that I signed up for a contract at sport centre, which gives me cheap access to all the activities and classes up till 4pm. Ok, so most of the ones I will use are in the pool, but maybe, just maybe, I will move out of my comfort zone and try something new. I said maybe, I didn't promise!

As I need to be gentle on myself today, I am going to rest up this morning, take some antihistamine, which will probably make me sleepy, and later my exercise will be some Pilates and some physio stretching exercises.
 
I ache all over today so I'm going to do some stretching too. I suffer from fibromyalgia so think the old body is in a state of shock at the minute.. Not used to being used!! Just had ten mins on bike and will do another ten it so after lunch then a manic trolley dash in Asda- I hate that place, even more on a Saturday - would have preferred Aldi but Mr E wants a cable.
