perhaps a karaoke evening would burn a few carbs off,
Ah well, I always have regrets about things I didn't try, rather than those I did that were not what I expected.40 minutes on bike. Then thought I'd try a Pilates for beginners youtube like Pipp. I must need Pilates for idiots as just timing my movements to the exhalation and inhalation was confusing enough. Did 8 minutes then ended up hyperventilating so maybe not for me.
Jamrox....well done for getting rid of Tony, I'm sorry I haven't said this before now. Thanks so much for setting up this challenge for us, it's been so good. For a while at least I am going to have to drop out. I am sorry. I seem to be fighting battles on so many fronts at the moment and the exercise one is coming way down my list of priorities at 6th or 7th for me. I need to concentrate on the top few most important ones because I am getting worn out with the effort of trying to achieve everywhere at the same time. Maybe for me this is the most important bit of the challenge, to be able to give up for a while and not beat myself up about it. I'm not happy about giving up and I'm sorry, but I cannot afford to fail in a couple of other areas. I'll still pop in to catch up with what you are all doing though
Walked up the eleven floors of my office again, only one brief rest this time at 6. Seeing friends this evening so only exercise will be vocal and lifting a diminishing pint of Harveys Best up and down.
Way to go cold ethyl! Perseverance rules!Apparently my friend who teaches it says it can take 6-8 classes to get it right so I'm having another go tomorrow. I quite enjoyed it and she says focus on exercise not breathing at first and it will fall into place. I think it's important to do a mixture and to live outside of one's comfort zone so I'll plug away at it too.
Stairs or pint or both?
Even marching on spot watching footy.Hi Zand please don't give up all together , this was always meant to be an individual challenge where people set their own limits . You have to do what's best for you and you have done so well up till now.
Theres only 10 days left , think how great you will feel at the end of the 10 days , even doing 5 minutes a few times a day will keep you at it , doesn't need to be strenuous , gentle stroll around your house when the adverts are on or watching the footie. Xx

Another 45 minute walk at lunchtime. Now sat watching the football and hoping England don't mess it up like they often do.
I think I could rely on both. You walking and England messing up.Another 45 minute walk at lunchtime. Now sat watching the football and hoping England don't mess it up like they often do.
I remember reading your earlier posts ... Yes ... Please don't beat yourself up about it. If you can't exercise at least come here and cheer everyone else on. You can be mum on the touch line. You can be coach. You can be there with the cold compresses. You can be the one at the water station.Jamrox....well done for getting rid of Tony, I'm sorry I haven't said this before now.

Thank you for this. I liked being mum on the touchline. I liked helping my son when he coached his brother's team. I even liked washing the kit every week. I liked sticking plasters on knees and putting new studs into boots. I liked retrieving footballs from the brambles. I liked getting soaked when it poured with rain. I liked sweeping the changing rooms. I liked driving a car full of boys to matches. I liked helping them with their appeals against red cards. I liked providing the oranges at half time. I was never much of a motivator though that was my son and linesman hubby.I remember reading your earlier posts ... Yes ... Please don't beat yourself up about it.

Please keep involved in whatever capacity you can.
You can be Mrs Motivator.
Deal with all your other stuff but don't go away. Just put on your life jacket and float around for a while.
My grandson worries me sometimes. He's six and he completed his World Cup results sheet from memory. He was even describing individual goals! He's been watching highlights via the red button ;-)
