"A new you in 42"

When we break up the work begins!! I have to get everything ready for the next class!! So I won't be too far from my classroom during the holidays. I'm a bit of a workaholic. I tend to make work for myself too ... Such as ensuring each tray of crayons has the same number of crayons of the same colour in them ;-). I also make sure that the coloured cubes we use in maths are not all mixed in the same basket. I limit 2 colours to each basket. The children are less likely to produce random patterns!! I like to do all my own displays too. If it's wrong it's my fault. The chairs come in three colours and I have to have them in a certain order around the tables. Oh dear ...

...Sorry Pipp, meant to mention what you said about aquafit....I know water exercises have always been seen as good for exercising the whole body, I just don't feel its for me though...you obviously enjoy it though, I'll just have to bang on with the dry land ones!

Hey Pollylocks no problem that you don't like water exercise
I wouldn't be doing twistboard either. Don't even know what one is, ..........but, if it could be adapted to use in the pool, maybe.

I cut it short because we had sports day this afternoon. I've been up and down the playing field a few times!

Not been feeling too good this last couple of days. I don't know if it's because they've been stressful and my bg has been raised as far as very high sixes and I have been eating less than 50g carbs. I'm wondering if the strange feeling in my tummy, higher area is because of that or the strange feeling is causing the high bg. I think it's the former.
I'll see how the days ahead go.

Peacetrain,! Sorry you have not been feeling too good.
Cut yourself some slack! You have been on your feet at school fair after a full time week, been walking a lot on sore joints, have been racing round the playing field, it is warm and humid. You seriously need some relaxation.
Hope you feel better soon.

@Pollylocks I even get white coat syndrome at home.. Just getting the monitor out sets it off so I'm hoping that he is happy with my readings and leaves me alone. I have to go on 7th July for nurse to check me and I'll take my readings along - was 180/80 last time after massive panic attack but in hospital was only 138/69 which should be ok as my old GP was happy with 140/80.i think the difference is that in a and e you are on one if those automatic BP readers and yo've no idea when it is going to take it so can't panic about it too much.w

I also suffer from white coat syndrome even when the only white coat is my flamingo pyjamas. After I insisted that 160 over something or other was not my true level he had me wear a monitor for twenty four hours. I admit, the first time it started up I was so startled I spilled my tea, but it did return an average of 120 over 80 and that was with some spikes that were likely anxiety related.

I used to have this problem with my pill. I would turn up. The nurse would take bp, I would be stressed that it was going to be too high, it would then be too high, then I'd have to argue case for pill, I'd get 3 months worth then the whole process would begin again. Now they've taken it away :confused:
 
I mentioned to @zand that I had to get off my bum to walk the dogs - thought about this thread and decided to get my running shoes on, even if I didn't feel like it.
Ran through the fields with the dogs and even did a bit of a sprint finish once I had reached the shade of the trees. 'Little house on the prairie' eat your heart out!:D
I feel great! You guys rock!

Why don't you have an avatar?
I love them! I'm thinking of swapping mine to Hunni when I get down to 10 stone - lol!

I like to have an air of mystery. Or I am just too lazy. Or a bit too thick to be able to know how. Or spending too much time browsing the forum, or have that may personas that it would be too difficult to decide what to use.

I do like other folks' choices though.

Thanks Pollylocks.
I'll have a G&T. Have one yourself.
Treats only allowed to those who have done their 30 mins exercise and reported back on here

Great Bebo321
A good rush of post exercise endorphins is just the way to make anyone feel good.
 
I have just had my 30 mins at the pool.

Well, being cautious that I didn't make the same mistake I did a couple of weeks ago when I rushed at getting back to pre-illness fitness levels, I decided on gentle swimming for 20 mins followed by 12 mins gentle stretching in the water. If it doesn't already exist I think I just invented aqua-Pilates, as I tried some of the Pilates moves when I was floating in deep water. It didn't hurt like dry Pilates does. Will see about that tomorrow though.

Also had a bit of a senior moment. The minute I immersed myself in the deep end I realised I hadn't brought my towel. If the pool staff hadn't come to my rescue with a roll of paper towel I would have had to dry myself on my more than ample sized undies, and gone commando on the way home. Ah well, at least it wasn't my cozzy I forgot to pack.

Won't bore you with the supermarket traipsing minutes as I did enough in the pool to meet requirements of this challenge.
 
just ten minutes on bike today and then another trip round Asda at breakneck speed doing my shopping , and junior's shopping as a student who has no lectures on at the minute can't possibly find time to shop. Also buying stuff for weekend as we are going to friends. I asked what was on the menu and explained my diagnosis and low carb eating and was told it'll be fine as she's making quiche and salads and there'll be a cake for afters!! I've bought some cooked meat, cheese and will take strawbs and yogurt.
